Looking for something to support my bad back while sitting on the floor playing with my 1 yr old daughter. Would this provide enough support?

I use this to sit on the floor and play with my dogs. I find it very supportive for my back.

I am pleased with the firmness of the back, it's adjustable too, and the support it gives me. I have only used it on gym bleacher seats so far and have been grateful by the end of the tournament that I had it. I would not be able to answer for you on how much support you would need but I would recommend this chair!!

I used the seat for a stadium seat at ball games, but the back is adjustable and I believe it would give you support.....

Yes, very firm and strong support. My wife uses hers for computer work sitting in bed.

I also have a bad back, which is why I bought this chair. I'm not sure how severe your situation is, but I found that the chair is durable enough for the price and has different degrees of incline which you can manually adjust the back to. All in all I think this chair is a good option for back pain.

The back support is decent if you're just sitting, not great if you're more active though. The chair takes up some space when stowed. I personally wouldn't want to tuck it into a corner of the living room because it's not compact enough but you might have more space than I do. I don't see it as a "daily use" kind of thing. Great for dragging to the park once every couple of weeks but not great for dragging around daily.

Yes. I have had one daughter bouncing and the other sometimes crawls underneath. We haven't had any serious injuries but it could be possible.

If she is not having to lift it I would say it would be fine for her. It isn't super heavy but it is awkward. We have found that slipping the foot rests off helps. It rolls well and the seat could use some more padding, but a memory foam type cushion works well in the one we bought my dad. The 16" width fits easily through most doors.

Absolutely! This low chair is super safe and the only thing about being on the floor would be tipping over if there was a great force like a pet or another child. It would be safe especially with an adult sitting next to child in the chair. Oh, and because it has the options of three tabletops it is ideal for playing before the child independently is sitting! It's a great product, we love it; mostly for getting our family dinner established young even though our little one is just beginning to eat solids. He sits with us at the table most evenings.

As JLo C. said, as ong as they can sit up and hold up their heads no problem. The seat is somewhat slippery as it is all wood and would be a long fall if they did wriggle out. Look for the attachments on craigslist and such. We are going to make our own cushion for it. Our 2 year old uses it but our one year old is still in the regular high chair.

I bought this support when I was pregnant. It was awful. I don't think it would work super well for nursing. You may be reclined too far back.

Yes I think it would be very sturdy for her.just make sure when you put it outside the ground is level. We put carpet under ours so when the kids slide down its soft .we really do love our slide. We even use it at our pool also .thanks Megan

I don't feels it supports my child enough I want to stick bean bags or weights around the outside to stable it as my 11 month old can drag it and I worry about it collapsing

The back is really supportive, can lean for comfort and not feel like it will snap, tear or break. Have not been in a situation yet where we did not have a place to hook the bottom of the chair so can't answer that.

My child is only 1 month so not really sure, but I imagine the child can use it for it's naptime function as is until he is ready to crawl and trying to break lose out of it himself.. then he can use it as a cushion type chair to sit/lean over...

It has been a while since I ordered and returned this item. I ordered it for my wife because of back surgeries and "weak legs", but she didn't get to try it since it was the wrong model. Some of the reviews at the time of ordering complained about it being one speed and therefore making it difficult to pedal on hills and inclines. Depending on your child's age it could be a good way to strengthen her legs. Being a retired spec. Ed. teacher, I know this type of exercise is important, but I don't know her particular circumstances. If she has a physical therapist, they would be the best to give advice. Hope this helps.

I haven't sat on it. I keep my grandsons' toys in it. I'm not sure if it would be strong enough to be sat on. Someone that doesn't weight much would do ok, but anyone that is heavy, I wouldn't suggest it.

I would not try it. Since it has no back i would be afraid of them falling backwards. My little is 20 months old as well. We use this booster on a folding metal chair so the straps don't leave marks on our wood dining set. It might be an alternative option for you as well.

No, I wouldn't. The sides are very soft; bean bag like. I don't think it will work well until a child is able to sit up unsupported.

Yes. It would be great for helping developmentally. There is a 44 pound weight limit. It is so fun that it is hard to keep the older children from riding it!

I would suggest your child be able to hold their head up on their own as the back support isn't built in such a way to hold up their head and neck. My nephew set in this when he was much younger and it was fine for him to look around at the items but they used a small pillow to add support.
