This item requires 14" depth under the tabletop I was so frustrated trying to find one critical bit of information: how deeply does the attachment mechanism go *under* the table? This is important for people who want to use the chair on a kitchen island that has an overhanging countertop, or for those with tables that have leg or folding or other things which block the depth to which this Chicco can go. I downloaded the brochures and googled everywhere to no avail. I then went to a store, took the item out of the box and measured it. It needs 14 inches. It's a good thing I measured it, because I only have 13" under the table. Chicco, you have to make this information more obvious!

The maximum child weight for this chair is 37 pounds, from 6-36months. Also, the table top must be at least .75 inches thick and no more than 1.5 inches thick. You also shouldn't use it on a single leg table, folding tables, table extensions or glass tables.

I agree with you. Chicco measurements need to be included besides the overall HxWxD measurements. I've had trouble finding this information on any brand chair.

I also could not find anything that says the maximum child weight it holds ;(*
1838738
You can fit it on a table 12-13" deep, but there will be a gap between the table and where the child sits.

Is it recommended to use this on a glass table? if the glass is really really thick?

I'm wondering if I received a different table design. For us, the leaf does NOT fit underneath, and it is not a butterfly design, though it's not too large to tuck away in a closet. I think all chairs will fit without the leaf, though I haven't tried it and it may be "close" for some people.

Try this:- Remove the table top by unscrewing the four bolts under the top. - Put two washers under the two outside bolts (farthest away from the pedestal)- Re-attach the top tightening it just enough to see if it is level. If it is level, tighten it completely- If it is not level, add more washers until it is level. Hope it works. I bought this table and sent it back because it had no manual, instructions, casters and my table top had a rise in the middle and dishes would wobble on it.How is your table? Is the tray itself really smooth and level? Were there any instructions beyond the assembly diagram?Customer service at Carex is very helpful. They have a website and toll-free number if you need it.

Hi Natalia, I don't know since I had to throw it away after the seat attachment broke. Sorry. Try the manufacturer's website. However, the tray part sits on the table with the clasp underneath it, so you probably need about a foot +- under the table. I don't recommend the product.

It's table height. The babyset seat attachment barely clears under the table (29" opening from floor to the bottom surface of the table top). I have to make sure kiddo's fingers are out of the way so they don't get pinched when pushing in the chair.

I am not sure what depth you need to measure, but mine fits perfectly on our kitchen island. This chair is so well made, it does not wiggle or move a bit. I measured underneath the chair and it is roughly 5" from the island to the chair. I hope it helps! We love it for our grand-daughter!

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 :)

25 and a quarter inches. Measured from floor to where the overhand on the tray is, three times, average as stated. You may want to take 25 as your measure since the overhang can be pronounced depending on setup. As an aside, I have enjoyed the desk thoroughly. Two things I'd be wary of- you will absolutely need a hydraulic chair that can go down LOW. 25 inches isn't a whole lot of room to fit your legs under with a chair beneath you. So pay attention to that when shopping for a companion chair. Second thing, don't expect to be able to fit your hands in the tray and type with the tray pushed in. There simply isn't enough room. My tray is always pulled out. Perhaps if you buy one of the super-slim roll flat kb's, and have smaller hands, it could work. Enjoy the desk!

I don't think chairs will slide under completely because of the trestle leg & chairs might hit the apron on top of the table.The width between the legs is 52", will take 2 chairs each side but because of trestle at the bottom and apron will not slide completely.I would suggest you should buy 4 Legs table, so chairs would slide. please let us know if you have more questions.Thanks

it's pretty wide and deep, so it probably won't look or function properly as a dining chair. it would may be a little clumsy to pull in and out from under a table since it is pretty bulky and has some weight to it as compared to a standard dining table chair. You'd also need to have a really wide table.

I notice that they don't show the back of the door on purpose. I just got the PDS-500, and the black box that is covering the works, and takes up most of the back of the door, is about 1 3/8 ". The distance from bottom, without pad, to rail is about 3 3/8. That only leaves 2" inside for stuff. So, how deep is the works plastic thing? Must be less on this one. Are you sure of your depth inside with door closed?I might be getting this one, though it does cost 75% more. Let me know. Thanks!

You can pull it up to the table,but, it does not go under most tables. My grandson kicked the table one time in the a high chair and went backwards and hit the back of his head on a hard tile floor. He was ok after trip to the hospital, but I would not put the chair up to the table again. Hope this helps. AC

I can only tell you based on my experience. My table is not a flat all across the bottom, like a kitchen table type. It's an end table, with a drawer, meaning it has wood dropping down about 4" all around it, with a lip coming out 1-1/2" from that. My problem was the clamp, while the lip section is only 1" thick, and I'm sure 3/4" thick would be fine, tightening the clamp wasn't possible with the drop down section, so we literally had to cut it out, the just 4" width of the clamp as a whole, to allow for tightening the clamp down to an inch, so the table minus the laptop holder would be useless now, as it's missing a large section of wood on the side. With it, no one can tell a section was cut out. The other problem is the weight. This is very very heavy, as before cutting the end table, I first tried a small flat top table, but it was so light weight, that the laptop table holder itself made it fall over sideways, without even adding the computer. You'd have to put a counter weight of some type on the opposite side, but mine was too small for that. If I could have counter-weighted a larger flat table with a heavy lamp or something, an inch thick would have worked fine. Just be weary of how heavy it is, since it's made of thick metal and quite heavy (the specs probably show the total weight). After working out how to install it though, I have to say I love it! It's great to swing towards me when I want the computer, and back away from me when I'm done.

If you raise the table all the way up you have about 20" at the end of the table and a little bit more in the middle of the side of the table. Because of the stabilizer rods on the sides and the end you don't have enough room to get under the table. I am a therapist and I work on my clients face and head using a rolling stool to sit on. I can do my therapy without having my legs under the table. I am 5'7" too.

When you take the tray off, there is a smaller tray attached underneath permanently to the seat. It fits under my countertop, depending how tall your table is this could work for that!

As one customer said, it's about 13" if you measure from front of table. It's true there is difficulty in putting both legs under , but I find that I keep one foot out side of the right table leg, and it works fine. This little table is NOT going to take the place of a desk, if that is what you are thinking, but is works great as a TV table. I use it by my sewing machine to press seams or for cutting small pieces. I love it.

I really love mine and use it all the time but it does require me to look down when I use it in my lap. If it was placed and a table (ie kitchen table) I believe you might still need to look down an inch or two.
