I have a 20 month old and a 3 year old that both use the seat comfortably with plenty of room to grow.

i have a 4 yr old grandson he uses it.. but his little legs feel "tight" under the table. i think he has about outgrown it :)

My youngest daughter started using the seat at 17 months. I also have another daughter who is four years old and still uses the seat.

I have 1 niece that is 3 - probably an average size for a 3 year old - she fits it great. My other niece is 6 and she is just barely to big- they worked great and for the price it was a no brainer

i bought it a while ago soon after my son turned 2. we use it at the kitchen table when making art projects. i still use his high chair when eating since he does not resist sitting it in still. i think if i sat him in the booster seat i would have a mess on my floor :-) my son sits very well in this seat - he is 2 1/2 years old, weighs 28 pounds, and (I'm not totally sure on his height) is a little short for his age. i feel that this booster seat will last at least 2 more years for him. fyi...i saw this exact seat at Walmart the other day for just over $10. You could probably go there and see if they have it in order to see it first-hand. i bought it a while ago soon after my son turned 2. we use it at the kitchen table when making art projects. i still use his high chair when eating since he does not resist sitting it in still. i think if i sat him in the booster seat i would have a mess on my floor :-) my son sits very well in this seat - he is 2 1/2 years old, weighs 28 pounds, and (I'm not totally sure on his height) is a little short for his age. i feel that this booster seat will last at least 2 more years for him. fyi...i saw this exact seat at Walmart the other day for just over $10.

I purchased this seat for my 3 year old daughter (she's tiny only 25 lbs) but my 15 month old has used it before. I would say it would be suitable for a child that has been sitting up unassisted for a while...maybe 12+ months. Not sure what the manufacturer recommends.

I began using it as soon as my children could sit up on their own and begin to self-feed. It was a great alternative to the bulky high chair.

Purchased this for use with our 27 month, 30 lb grandson and it was fabulous! Lightweight and easily portable, yet very secure when all the straps are used with a dining chair. I believe the recommended manufacturer's weight was 50 lbs.

My son is 6 and weighs 40lbs and is already filling this seat. It won't be long till we will have to get a bigger one. They also have round ones that might work for his age/size. Hope this helps:)

The seat is tall for a 2 year old. My 8 year old (40th percentile in height) uses it very comfortably. In fact I use it comfortably enough myself when looking at a cookbook for a few minutes. What I think really matters is what you're using the chair for. If it's pulled up to a table, it really need to match the table height well.

I think that's too young for this seat. I would recommend this seat at 24 months.

It is suitable for children 40-120 pounds AND 38"-63" tall. Typically children can be at least 4 years old, but it is highly recommended to keep them in a 5-point harness booster seat instead (like the Britax Pioneer, Frontier or Pinnacle). We usually recommend this seat for children around 6 years old.

By the time we went to this size seat for my grandson at 10 months of age it provided very good neck and head support. For a small infant, I always used addition cushion with his other infant car seat.

My son is 32" and I have him in it. He has long legs and I had troubles with other seats. He does really well in it.

Most recommend 12 months and up, and up to 40 lbs. My daughter was 18 months and 21 lbs when we started using one - so weight-wise your daughter will be fine but the hard part might be finding a helmet that fits. We had to adjust the smallest one we could find even smaller for her (average size - 50% percentile) head. The 12 month age recommendation is probably for head/neck control - much like a forward facing car seat the main concern is safety in the event of an accident. The "seat" itself is more like a hammock or sling - just a piece of fabric - so if the child can't sit up properly the seat won't work well.

The American Academy of Pediatrics states that children can advance to a booster seat when they are at least 4 years old and 40 pounds. I think the height is 40 inches but I'm not sure. They also say that children should stay in a booster until they are 8 years old and 60 lbs. I love these seats. They're light, easy to clean and my girls say they are comfortable. Hope this helps.

I think your baby should be able to sit on his/her own before using this seat, so at least 6 months. Because of the design, I found that they were between 9+ months before the seat worked well for them.

While most companies will suggest the weight range for booster seats is 30lb PLUS, pediatricians recommend not placing children in booster seats until they weigh over 40. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) actually recommends that children not be moved up to booster seats until they are over 5 years old, or if they weigh more than the recommended maximum for a forward-facing child seat, which is generally 65 pounds. At 23 pounds, your child is not only too young and light for a booster seat, but also for a forward-facing child seat. In fact, your child is right around the age and weight for transitioning out of an infant seat into a rear-facing child seat, so quite far from using a booster seat.

Because children come in such variations of weight and sizes, you really need to look at that rather than age. This seat will accommodate a child up to 65lbs. or a seat shoulder height of 16.5".

We didn't wait he was too big to be rear facing by the time he was 40lb. I would recommend this seat. we have two. that being said this is a big chair. we did have one in between this one and the rear facing one.

The front of the Instruction manual says age 3 or over, 30-100 pounds, 38-57 inches. There are car seat safety guidelines on different websites (highway patrol,consumer reports, etc) and car seats are still believed to be safer. We waited to switch over until our son was 40 pounds, over 40 inches and almost 4 years old. We are pleased with the booster and it is easy to use.

I use this car seat for my son who is 3 (turned 3 in august) and he weighs 32lbs. There are multiple strap settings and my son fits well in this seat.
