Can an older child (safely) climb up into this chair on their own?

My son has been climbing into his for a few months (he's 26 months). He occasionally gets his shirt caught on the middle post when he climbs down on his own but has figured out how to avoid that too.

You could use the chair itself but I don't think the tray would work very well for an older child. I would just pull the chair up to the table without the tray. The height of the chair is adjustable and there is a seat cushion for older children that you can purchase instead of the infant seat and straps.

The child is able to climb up by using the hole in lower section on open end. Otherwise they need to be lifted up.

The seat comes up some even when the child is belted in. If the child stands on the u bars that hold the chair to the table they can push up some. If your child is one who likes to escape and tries a lot to get out of their chair, one that attaches to a chair with a tray may be a better option for you. I love this one, and if you don't leave your child alone in it I don't think it would be a problem even with one who likes to climb out, unless they can undo the straps.

It would be ok with supervision and assistance only if they do not have skilled balance and control. There is tisk of falling and injury and the line snapping back at you if you slip off. I have assisted with kids as young as 3 on it but never let go of their hand.

Yes, it should be. My granddaughter is 2,and tall for age. She scrambles into the chair easily, but feet still off the floor !

When my son was learning to sit in the chair, he crawled in belly first and wriggled his way up (if you can imagine) and it never tipped on him. He's 2 now and likes to throw his head and arch his back and stand on the chairs and jump off. Seems pretty stable to me. The backs are low and plastic is going to be slippery on wood or similar floors. But he's not had any accidents with them that weren't caused by his own rowdiness.

I dont know about easily, but my 6 yr old has no problem. Also, my almost 3 yrs old figured out how to open it today. It takes a fair amount of strength to lift and open.

Babies cannot climb over. They want the door to be opened to let them out and in. I think you can use it up to one year and three months.

My great nephew just turned 1 on aug 5th. He cannot climb out at this point. I'm thinking the child would need to be 2 or 3 before he/she can climb out

My guess is that you'd have to be about 35-45 lbs to pull this thing over trying to get up. The base is extremely wide so I don't see your child overcoming that. Also, it doesn't really have anything to pull on outside of the slides which are towards the center which is where it is most sturdy.

Hi Kathryn,That depends my mother is 78 and yes I could show her how to use the chair with no issues. However, if this person has balance/coordination issues, when it goes back it may make them uneasy or have a falling feeling only if you don't realize what you are doing. It is easy to use once they get the hang of pushing the foot bar out so that it goes back. The locking mechanism is easy to use so I would not see any issue even if they had trouble with their hands for some reason. But that is my best advise. Hopefully this helps.

It,s not a matter of age but rather leg dexterity. A child that puts pressure on its's feet is ready for a jumpy seat..

Yes, easily! My son is 3 years old and he goes to the bed and gets out of it by himself!! Just one thing you want to consider before you purchase this bed , somehow this bed moves a lot (it's not really stable at the bottom )!!

My grandson was only 16 months old when I bought it. Within a few days he was able to lift himself on to the chairs. Your son will be just fine. My daughter told me the house was a little to quiet for having a toddler and she found him sitting at his table and chairs with his books. How sweet. It's a great set for them to grow into. Sturdy as heck. Enjoy!

Sure. It might shift though. I now use it with my one year old and the five year climbs over it all the time (because the door lock is too difficult for him to open himself.) It stays put. In fact, he'll even sit on the corner rail just to hang out.

My grandson is 10 months old, 22 lbs and I can push him in the high chair. There is a place on the back where you can lightly lift up the back of the chair and easily roll it from place to place.
