Is the actual seat part of this wide enough to be comfortable for bigger kids who need a booster? My 10 year old son is 4'6" and average build.

Not trying to be rude in any way here, but as long as he is average size and not "over wide", it should be fine. We plan on buying two more for our kids. The locking straps on this model are a GREAT feature.

I can tell you that the seat part is fairly wide, which I was surprised of as another Graco model we have for our daughter is not. My daughter is 6 years old and tall, average build. I agree with the other comment, the locking straps are GREAT. It's a good seat.

This chair to me is very comfortable. If you are a heavier person it might be tight. If you are average you are ok. Now for height, I am 5'5" and my son is 6'1" we both fit but his legs hang over the foot rest more than mine. Also, if you sit not slouched you really need to have a small pillow behind your head as it is not exceptionally tall. However, it is nice because it isnt a huge chair.

Seat is fine, just leg rest might be too short as my kid is tall but not a deal breaker. He is 2 1/2 @ 33 pds. Second seat is a little snug but still fits

My son isn't 5 feet yet and it works great for him. The seat is adjustable.

I think your 4 year old will be too big for this to be comfortable for long. I wish it was roomier. My 3 year old is fine by himself when I have the top up, but I wish Iwould have found something taller.

I'm 6' and it fits me fine. Not a large seat though. If you are a big person it might feel to small.

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:)

I believe it should work for you , the seat is adjustable forward and back I am 5'1" and I was able to get it close enough ... and my son is 6'!' and he can use it

I agree with DOGLOVER. The seat is a little wider than some of the other seats, but my son was able to use it fine with a stepstool he just held himself up with his hands. It is not so wide that they will just fall right in unless they are really tiny.

I doubt it. My son is 10 and 4 ft 4-5 inches. It is a perfect fit for him. I don't think an adult would be comfortable with the frame size

It is very wide. If you need a narrow seat you might look at the Harmony Youth booster or the Bubble bum inflatable booster both are very narrow compared to most.

I don't think you would like the seat as far as comfort is concerned. I think it's a good unit for someone up to 220 lbs but you may want something that has a little heavier construction. I am 6 foot at 200 lbs and it works fine for me.

I really like this throne, but I think it would be too large for a 10 year old. I'm 5'11" and I don't think it goes much lower than the current height I have it set.

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.

My son is about 30lbs and it supports his weight. When unfolded and attached to a chair the sides are pretty sturdy. Maybe my 18 month old is so used to going to restaurants that he would rather sit and be a good boy at the table with us than sit in a highchair. He doesn't squirm as much in the booster.

My son is 6 years old 55lbs and 3 foot 10 Inches. We love this seat but we still usually use the britax seat with the harness as a 5 point harness is always safer.

The 16" fits my 11 year old twins perfectly with the seat almost all the way down. They are about average sized boys compared to their class mates...
