Could a big 18-month-old sit in it without breaking it?

I seriously doubt it. I've never seen it because I had Amazon ship it to my grandson. But it's definitely not a riding toy.

My grandson weighs 18 lbs and it is very comfortable for him now as he is learning to sit with help. The tray on top is light weight plastic but easily usable for 30 lbs. The orange seat insert could easily be used for 40 lbs as a chair booster for feeding.i would not place heavy objects on circular blue plastic but it serves well for up to 18 months for plastic toys and cups.

I bought this last year for my 4 month old for when we went to the beach on vacation. I don't see why you couldn't use it for any age that physically fits into the bed.

Absolutely, we put our 10 month old in it. If say if he/she can sit up right your good to go.

I don't remember it saying not to in the manual and personally, don't see why you couldn't if you are nearby, baby is properly strapped in and the tray is on so they can't fall out and hurt themselves if they are small. The base of the seat is very stable.

I would say no. My 7 mo old is on the talk side weighing almost 19lbs. And while she does still sit in it, she prefers the side to side motion vs the the front to back and her legs hit the rail. I just wouldn't invest in it this late in her growth. Was awesome from newborn up.

Yes, but you might want to add a little more filler. My son was 9. He loves it, but it needs more filler if he is going to sit in it a lot. My son sat in his a lot and he is older with more weight then the average 9 year old.

I think it will works for your 18 months grandson. While the child is lying on it the foot rest stay hard, but if he puts his weight to the front it gets down easily.

You could, but I will not recommend it. The issue with older kids is that the seat end up being too low and the leg room is small. My son is a little over 3 and he takes small steps to push himself and I think he will like to go faster (take bigger steps). But, he loves it.

My granddaughter is 6 months old and sits in it just fine....she is also able to reach the toys and play with them...both my daughter and myself are very well pleased with this saucer...I would imagine she will be able to use it up to and maybe after 18 months of age...hope this helps!

Yes I think it would work. The only concern would be whether or not the 18 month old could see over baby carrier. I think they would since the middle seat is higher but it may be a concern. Also be prepared to be a circus act. I get amazement whenever I go around town with mine. Lol!

My grandson is not that size, but the seat seems completely stable. I suppose he could 'get off' of it, but I can't see any problem with him being able to fit in it? Frankly I would say that it is worth a try. It's not that expensive and if it doesn't work for you, give it to someone else. The first one that I bought didn't have any way to keep it on if the child should shift on it. This one stays 'put.' Good luck!

Probably not. If he or she is small- yes. Otherwise I would say probably good for up to five or six. That being said, I do sit on it often with my three year old or even with my baby. We drag it all over the upstairs for everyone to use.

My granddaughter is 2, she is not big enough or strong enough to lay the chair back, she enjoys sitting in it and using it's cup holder, she may be able to use this chair until she's 8 or 9, but not long after that so the answer is no as to rather an adult can sit in it, although it feels very sturdy.

My 23#er isn't putting any stress on it. I think the problem that you would have is that at some point he will either be too snug in the seat or too tall to be contained in the seat (there are straps which will raise his butt up higher if his legs get long). It seems sturdy enough that 30# would not tear the seat out or cause the seat to break off of the grooves. If I'm wrong, you have a broken toy but probably a safe baby as he will only be at standing height. That said, my attorney advises that you decide for yourself what to do with your child. For me, this is a reliable 30 minutes of parental freedom and I intend to keep putting my kid in it so long as he fits and continues to enjoy it. My 23#er isn't putting any stress on it.

My 10 month old chubby monkey Grandson still fits in it nicely but has to be strapped into the "seat belt" because he constantly wants to roll over. I think he might have another 6 months in it tops. So I'd say no for a anything over 18 months.

My baby is 5 months 18lbs and he has no issues. He even wears cloth diapers too and the bulkiness doesn't seem to affect him fitting in the chair.
