Just purchased this for my 17 month old Grandson. I was surprised it did not have a seat belt. Is this going to be a problem?

In my opinion it shouldn't be a problem. My 18 month old was using her feet to "walk" the bike forward starting around 16 months

No, I really don't' think so. My Grandson is 16 months and he's been good. Still using as rocking horse right now.

I purchased this for my grandson, who was 3 at the time and small for his age. He was able to get into it and manuever it without any problems. My son-in-law did have to move the seat up so his feet could touch the pedal. I don't know if this helps or not.

yes, the car has a seat belt. it's deceiving because it looks like a 2 seat car, however, it is a 1 seat car.

It depends if your 11 month old is sturdy and sits independently. This is really a booster seat, not a high chair. The T-strap belt sits really low on the waist, so it doesn't really secure the child from falling. I didn't really like it at first, but we have ended up using it more than I thought. It is nice to have am extra child seat when friends with kids drop by. Hope that helps.

I bought this for my grandson. I am not familiar with all the technical aspects as my daughter had researched those prior to purchase. I do know that my grandson is very comfortable in it and not as resistant to being in a car seat as he was with his infant seat. I can get him in and out of it pretty easily which is a plus for me.

It does have a seatbelt, but I'm not sure that I would want my child to ride in the chair in a vehicle. The strap seems more to keep them in the chair than to protect them. We haven't tried trying it down.

No. It is only about a foot from the ground and the kiddos feet are on the ground, or the shouldnt be on it. If the little one isnt able to manage a strong upright seated position and control their balance fairly well I wouldn't use it. There are carseats on pulleys for littler ones that require more positional support.

No. My only issue was the seat. It didn't tighten correctly. Seat tended to move more than I liked. Other than that my kids have rode it hard. Now my sisters kids play with it.

Well I'm sure a 3 yr old could possibly buckle themselves in, but I highly recommend an adult doing it for the safety of the child to make sure they are properly secured. Personally I would never let my 3 1/2 yr old grandson do this for himself, 3yr olds cannot possibly understand the importance of this. Wow I can't even believe someone asked this question, I'm a little concerned for the 3 yr old being allowed to do his own seat buckle.

On the website they state the design is for child at least 1 year old. I guess this is due to some assumption about the muscle strength and coordination required to use this safely. So you probably need to bring a car seat that is approved for air travel - it's a pain but not sure what other options you have. The airline might be able to rent you a safety seat?

It is small, but my above average height 3 year old rides it with no problem. I'd say anyone older than toddler age would need the larger one.

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.

There is no latch system. When your child isn't in the seat, you can still use the seat belt to "buckle" the seat in so it doesn't become a projectile if you're in an accident.

The seat isn't big enough. It seems dangerous to me. I would recommend something with two seats. My grandkids love theirs.

As others have said, yes, it has a seat belt. I have a tiny two year old who is a swing fanatic. She bends and twists and leans forward and backward while swinging. She is very secure, even when leaning far forward. I don't worry at all, but I'm also right there the entire time, too!

I wasn't aware of a buckle problem. I have owned this seat for my now 31 lbs 3 year old boy for over a year, and while the buckle between the legs is a little short and I always have to go digging for it when I put him in the seat, it is not too short/tight or uncomfortable while he is in it, and I don't have any problem with buckling/unbuckling it.

It does have a vibrating feature. It does not recline, only as far back as baby is heavy. As my grandson has grown it goes a little lower on the recline. You could put them in for a nap when they are very small. It does have a safety buckle.
