Does the child have to be able to hold their head up or sit up alone to use this seat ? What is the minimum age and weight ?

I bought it for my daughter when she was 6 months and I ended up giving it away. It wasn't comfortable for her to sleep in. My brother has it now for his older children and he loves it, but I wouldn't recommend for under 2years. Maybe it is my car seats? They could be more inclined

So we started putting the kiddo in it as soon as he could hold his head up on his own -- around 3.5 months. He was (and still is two months later) too short for it, so we have been placing various objects underneath so his feet hit something (couch pillows for a while, now a lap tray) rather than him dangling.

Correction to "Mother of Twins"--at 22lbs/head w/in 1" of top, then put the headrest on and continue RFing till 35lbs. My daughters rear-faced until ages 2 and 3 in this seat, and now one is still using it as a 5 yr old FFing. I am buying a new one for my baby now.

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.

Hello, the child will only be able to sit in it. There is no foot rest, so the child cannot push up to stand.

Most recommend 12 months and up, and up to 40 lbs. My daughter was 18 months and 21 lbs when we started using one - so weight-wise your daughter will be fine but the hard part might be finding a helmet that fits. We had to adjust the smallest one we could find even smaller for her (average size - 50% percentile) head. The 12 month age recommendation is probably for head/neck control - much like a forward facing car seat the main concern is safety in the event of an accident. The "seat" itself is more like a hammock or sling - just a piece of fabric - so if the child can't sit up properly the seat won't work well. Most recommend 12 months and up, and up to 40 lbs.

minimum weight is 22lbs-not sure what the height is but I would only use this seat for a toddler who can sit up and support themselves well on their own. While I love this seat for my three year old, I would not put my fifteen month old in it just yet, even though he meets the requirements for a normal front facing seat. This seat just does not offer the support that the larger front facers do but it is a Godsend for older children who need more leg room in a smaller car or truck.

It doesn't really have an age associated with it, I used it for my daughter when she was 8 months old. If the child can sit by themselves and no help, this chair works really well for them.

I don't believe there is a minimum height. It is recommended for ages 1 and above with a minimum weight of 20#. I have very petite kids and the seat is very secure.

If they can't hold their head up by themselves I would not recommend using it without an infant carrier.

I got this for my son when he was 9 months old . .this is for baby's who can keep their head up and haven't learned to walk yet... it says maximum 25 lbs but once they're 25 lbs you can take the seat out

No head support really. Should be used with a Child who can support their own head.

Yes. Babies should be able to hold their head up. There is not enough support for a wobbly head.

The seat is made for a maximum of 45 lbs. and/or 40 inches in height. That would make them approximately 4 years old depending on the size of your child.

We got this for my daughter when she was 5 months. She is now 8 months and is just able to sit up unattended. She's been able to (and enjoying) using the jumper for the last 3 months... it's a favorite of hers (and therefore mine). Based on my experience, I would say as long as your son is able to hold up his head, he should be able to play in the jumper.

The paper work indicated as the other person answered, when they can hold their head up and not younger than 4 months. My granddaughter is 7 1/2 months now and is still using it.
