My almost one year old girl is pretty skinny (17 lbs), and about 2 feet tall. I worry that when sat in the chair, will she be back too far?

My little one is 17m now and barely 28" She's been using this chair for a while now (way before her first birthday) and it fit her perfectly from day one. Give it a try. I think I posted a picture from when she first used it.

I would say this is the only complaint that I would have about this chair. The tray is fixed so you cannot move it to fit to your child. My daughter is actually able to pull her legs up and put her feet on top of the tray. Personally, this isn't a big deal to me. But I can see this being a problem for some.

It would be a little big -- as in she would have to hoist her backside up into it rather than sit straight down on it -- but once on the seat she would be comfortable and fit the table. I do not think her legs would touch the floor. **Keep in mind, she will fit into it quickly and have time to grow with it. If you buy something that fits a 20 month old exactly, she will be out of it in just a few months. I have another (more expensive) Crayola table that I bought for my daughter around 24 months. She fit it perfectly at the time, but grew out of it so fast it now is an end table bc the chairs are too small. I definitely, even at 20 months, would opt for this Dora set.

I bought it as an additional chair for my daughter's table and it's so comfortable for me that I actually spend a fair amount of time sitting in it when she's at her table. I'm 5 ft 2 inches and 117 lbs, and my sitting on the chair puts no obvious strain on it at all. My daughter is 22 months and it's too big for her, but she still climbs into it on occasion. Perhaps at around 3 years it will fit better. And if she takes after me in stature, it should last her until she's 80 ;)

Hi Julia, I purchased one of these chairs a couple of months ago. My wife is 5ft1inch and weighs 115 lbs. She easily fits into the 16 wide chair and it has the advantage of passing through small door ways. The foot rests are adjustable to accommodate about any height so I don't think you will have an issue there either. The chair seems to be sturdy and not very heavy so one can easily lift in and out of a car trunk. If your daughter doen't need the leg supports to keep her legs horizontal you can remove the supports and make the unit a couple of lbs lighter. I hope this answers your questions. I consider it a excellent wheelchairand especially considering the economical price. Regards, Dennis

I think my daughter started using it at 13 months because the high chair was taking up too much space. As long as they are sitting up on their own and don't have a problem trying to escape from their chair you should be fine. Mine said 2+ on the package I believe

Our 4 year old sits in this sometimes and She's about that height. If she is in it for a long period of time she throws her legs on the "hood" to stretch them out.

Not at all! My toddler is almost 20 months old and weigths 25.5 pounds; and the seat supports him perfectly.

I'm not sure about her from a height perspective but my 2 year old weighs 30 pounds and my 4 year old weighs 40 pounds and they ride in it together just fine. They only used the slower setting too and that was enough for them at least for this year! They love it!

My two year old granddaughter was a little short for the chair. Her feet didn't touch the ground, but she enjoyed using the table and chair set.

A year old child is fine in this chair. However, my 16 month old daughter is beginning to outgrow it. It may be a stretch getting a 3 yr old. If a 3 yr old does get in it, it is likely that the tray would not be able to be attached

I would check with the manufacturer for specifics. We bought it for our 2 year old who is 27lbs and 3 ft tall. He fits in it pretty perfectly (he's on the skinny side for his age). If he was any shorter his feet probably wouldn't reach the foot rest though.

As long as the child weighs at least 22 pounds, it will be fine. There are two sets of slots for the shoulder belts to go through the back of the seat. These allow for adjusting for children of different heights.

I still have my 2 year old in it at the tightest setting. He is 70th percentile in weight. My 4 year old can still fit too. I tested him out to make sure the chair would work long term

Thats how we have my daughters chairs set up (shes 2), they do hit her legs depending on how close she is.

Probably so, unless she's ahead of the norm in both size and development. My great-grandson was 7 months when I got his and his feet didn't reach the ground in the seat for about 6 more weeks. That didn't stop him from many hours of enjoyment, but he was about 16 pounds at the time and able to balance well in the seat. By the way, he's never gotten bored with it, best thing I ever purchased for him.

Although, I just noticed that she is 8 years old... I think it might be a little small for her. My daughter is 5 (she is very big for her age), and she fits in it perfectly, but I don't know about when she is 8. The more I think about it, the more I am coming to the conclusion that it's a possibility that your daughter might be too tall for it.
