Is this still appropriate for a 7 year old at 45 lbs?

It's safer. I stopped at a safety inspection and asked a similar question. She said that my kids would be past the age of wanting to sit in it before they maxed it out, but that it's safer to use it as long as I can get them to. (This is taking into account that everything fits correctly for your child height as well.)

It is recommended to keep them harnessed until 8. keep them harnessed as long as possible.

My 7 year old (48 inches, 50 pounds) still has plenty of room to grow. I'm about to buy another one, though it seems silly, but he doesn't sit correctly in boosters and at the rate he's going (slow gainer) I think it'll be another couple of years before he's 65 pounds. He likes this seat a lot.

My 5 year old who is also about 45 pound and tall for her age has a lot of room to grow in this seat.

My 11 year old nephew uses it without a problem. However, he is slim. I would go by the weight not the age.

yes. my 7 year old barely fit in it. he might just be able to use once or twice . you want one that will last awhile .

The weight limit per seat is 45 lbs. My seven year old is 49" and still fits in it with the canopy on the higher setting, but he just hit 45 lbs. He's slim built.

It only works rear-facing and forward-facing with a 5 point harness. It is not a belt positioning booster, but it can last an older child for quite a while... up to 65lbs and 54in. According to the CDC growth charts, the average 7 year old (50th percentile) is about 50lbs and 48in.

no i think you need a larger one rated for more weight, this was for an 7 year old !!

My 7-year-olds are finding it just big enough. They are both about 4'2 or so. Depending on your child's height, it probably is too small.

I would agree with J Dugan. A seven year old will fit in it to sit down. If you are looking for a small cozy place to read etc, it would be ok. Personally I think it would be tight with a few seven yer olds in it.

Yes my 5 year old is 70lbs. She is built big like her dad and fits fine still. I'm sure your child will fit it to.

Not really, my oldest son used it until he was 6 and 45 pounds. Just make sure that you install it properly.Regards

My daughter has special needs and weighs 35lbs. She's a bit long for it at 38", but it could easily handle a 45lb kid.

My oldest is 7yrs and approx 60lbs. It's fine for him now, but another 15-20lbs and I may start to be mindful.

My daughter is an average sized 7 year old and still uses it no problem. Shouldn't be a problem.

You can use it for a child up to a maximum weight of 45 lbs, as specified by the manufacturer.

If she is a very tiny 7 yr.old it would be ok but if she is average hieght or tall for her age it will be too small. It is a nice carriage but a bit flimsy for a 7 yr. old not like the doll carriages of yesteryear!

It is borderline. . . Probably could use the softer ball. and the smaller softer bands. Depends on the size of the 7 yr old's hands.

Yes, I would think so. my granddaughter turned 7 and it was a stretch for her to enjoy very long. She is about average size, also.It is very sturdy and cute.
