Could another child remove the back rest part while the first child is on it...i.e. how easy is it to remove the back rest once it is suctioned?

No, I wouldn't say a child could remove it. The seat isn't actually suctioned. You press the backrest thing down and it pushes two posts down, sort of wedging the seat into place.

No, I don't think it could be removed by a child. It kind of locks in place.

The seat isn't suctioned to the tolet and I don't think the back part can be easily removed. I haven't tried but it seems really sturdy. We have had it for a couple of months and my child puts the seat on before he goes and then takes if off when he is done. So it's simple enough for him to slip on and off but the blue back piece hasn't slipped off or even budged in all of that moving it. There is a piece that you put under the toilet lid so the seat can hange off the side of the toilet, it's the blue thing on the image on the side of the toilet.

The back rest is not easily removed and I don't think a child could do it. If one child tries to remove the backrest while another child is sitting on the seat the suction will not hold and the child could fall off. I hope I am understanding the question correctly because I cannot imagine the situation!

It doesn't suction, it's like there are bumpy edges below the seat that as you raise or lower the backrest it adjusts the tightness of the potty seat to the toilet. It's hard to explain but I wouldn't worry about another child messing with it while in use. It's very snug. They can easily remove the potty seat when no one is one it but I've never detached the back rest from the potty seat, it really functions more as a handle at that point.

Yes, I have now taken it off completely since my girl is going to be 5. It is not hard to take on and off.

To answer your question without being judgemental about it - it depends :) my 3 year old grandson became able to do it by himself a couple months ago. He will be 4 in December. It seems to be easier then any car seats I've used. I do let them buckle themselves (I have a 4 year old grandson, too) in and I encourage them to be independent, but I check to make sure it is okay.

I jiggled and wiggled it this AM and feel that a baby/toddler of 25lbs. and under would not probably be able to pull it over. There is a curved section on the lower level and it is not super strong, so if a baby pulled on that area, they might break it off, but not pull it over. I am presuming they are talking about a crawling child trying to pull itself up to standing. If they are talking about a child tall enough to pull on the scratching post part (it's wrapped in hemp rope or something similar); that area is about mid height and if they pulled from there, they might pull it over.

Yes, with the toddler seat - it's super easy! You just unsnap the seat and turn it around and snap it back in. Incredibly user friendly!

You really should remove the child as there isn't any great place to grab to lift the seat out with that much weight. However, you shouldn't need to turn them around if you encounter a lot of sun suddenly as the canopy is quite large and if that's still not enough there is a inner canopy that can fold out basically doubling the size of it.

Yes, they could pull it. Just an FYI it doesn't move backwards(I'm sure it is for safety)- so if you are thinking pulling it behind something, might not work so well. Sometimes my kids push it, but they would much rather ride it. It's a pretty neat toy. They play with it regularly.

Hi there ,well, to be honest, i am heavy and my kids like to jump or play on the sofa. So the result was that we broke the main part. My husband tried to fix it.didn't work out.we kept a corner but it's not worth it.

lift back cover. clip on each back brace . pull to the middle while one person pulls the back rests up

Wouldn't really work as there's a slight recline in all the positions. The seat back doesn't make a perfect 90 degree angle so one kid would always be squished forward. That said, we have done kid in the front and small dog in the back.

Yes! I have three kids and wished I had found this years ago. Watch the video on it too! You can put baby on their belly or back. I thought it was safe and much better than the plastic ones I already used before

My 3 year old son has just perfected removing them by himself. My 4 year old daughter, however, has not figured it out. I've never tried to remove it (my son has always removed it when I didn't want for him to!), but since he's able to remove them, I would say that they would likely be easy for you to remove as well. ;)

At this point, they don't make an attachable back for this one... If you're wanting a backed booster, try their convertible ones? We have the Nautilus 3-n-1 convertible carseats that go from young toddler seats (first 'forward-facing' seat) to the backed booster version. Plus, with those, you can completely remove the backs as well, in which case it would become essentially the same as this one.... Hope that helps!

It is removable, Honestly I think it is meant to be a "just in case" back rest. It sits too far back for me so even though it's on, I don't use it. I see the other comment about it not being removable, but when you go to assemble the chair, which is very simple just leave the back off. If you decide you want it on, it literally takes two seconds to put it on.

a little bit.... i havent used it with both shade pulled forward yet, so seeing sights hasnt been a problem.,... but theres something i forgot to add in my original review... the front child's foot rest doesnt come out far enough!! i have a very short 21 month old, and she can not use the foot rest comfortably. she just hangs her poor lil feet out and over it.... I have a very tall 2 year old who cannot sit in it at all because his feet hang over and hit the wheels.... i should edit my original rating because this makes it go from 5 stars to 1, in my opinion.

I don't see why not as long as you control the child obviously. You can lean them back on the side.

If you're referring to the armrests/"trays" on the sides of the glider, there is no problem with them when you move the glider back and forth. I'm not quite sure if I understand the question though about how the tray would be in the kid's way---??
