2 1/2 year old weighs almost 35 lbs, this says max weight for 5 Pt harness is 40 lbs, he seems way to young for a regular belt ?

I am in the same situation as you and I'm keeping my daughter in it until 40 lbs. then you can take out the 5 pt harness and use it as a booster with a seat belt.

Marita, The 5 point harness says it is for children 22-40 lbs and 28-50 inches tall. They can use the seat as long as their ears are not above the back of the seat It is really easy to adjust the harness system For booster use, it is 40-110 lbs and 43-57 inches tall. Hope this helps.

My boy is 34 inches tall and weighs 27 pounds @ two years old. It fits him great and he really loves it.

I bought this for my 2 year old son. He is very petite and when I have this as tight as it goes, it ALMOST stays up on his waist. He is very tiny though. I would say it would be perfect for most 3+ year olds. I am not sure how big the waist gets though.

I personally think he should be fine.. It has a 5 point harness adjustable... He will grow into it.. I think those numbers are rough estimates they give you... But he should be fine...

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.

No. I'd keep her in a 5 pt harness. Go for a Graco nautilus, or other harnessed seat. Your child is too young for a booster.

The recommended weight is 30-50 lbs.. However my little girl weighs about 20 lbs and does fantastic with it!! I love this puddle jumper, we use it about every weekend. Her arms are secure enough that she can't easily pull them loose herself. I would highly recommend this product! We sure have enjoyed it!! So, my answer is "yes!! I believe this would work for your little one!!"

To use the 5 point harness you need the latch system; fits children from 22- 65 lbs. To use it as a booster only it would be backless and should be used for 40 - 100 lb children.

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 wouldn't recommend to use it if your child is not 40lbs yet. You are using your regular car seat belt with this booster and it may not be safe for her to use it if she is not meeting the weight requirment. Before I switched to this one I had the Britax Frontier which has the 5-point harness and can be used with younger children. I would recommend the Frontier for your child.

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

I think he will be too big for this. My 2 year old grandbaby rides it fine, but her legs are long and she will outgrow it before too long. I think there are cozy coups that would work better for a 5 year old (there was a fire engine one at one point)..

Yes the belt was a little hard at first my daughter is almost 10 but she can do it. Younger might need help but that's what we bought it for and my daughter loves it!!

My daughter is also 2.5, 36 lbs and the same height, and as my review stated this product gave her a horrible front and back wedgie. Not sure if this is an issue for boys but I would think it might be. We did let out all the "slack" in the strap between the legs but that did not alleviate the wedgie at all. Hope this info is helpful.
