I have a preemie grandson who is now a week shy of being 8 months old that at his last check-up he weighed in at 12 pounds 13 ounces and was 22 &frac34; long. I think a walker would be good for him. Looked at this one and thought it was very nice. My concern...

My son was two months premature. We bought him this walker when he was probably three or four months old. He has always been on the short side (even now at 13 months old) and this walker worked perfectly for him until he started being able to climb out of it at 11 months old. The lowest setting is pretty short. There are 3 height settings -- if I remember correctly. My son was probably around 22-24 inches when we started putting him in this.

It is best for 18 month (if walking and steady) to possibly 7 or 8 depending on height/weight. The limits are 220, my husband can be on with my 2 1/2 year old son and it is fine.

Yes, I would say o.k. We were pleased with it for our toddler as she is now walking at 13 months. So she wasn't in the walker very long. It was safe, practical for her and entertaining and a reasonable cost.

Yes! My father weighed 265 lbs when he came home from surgery and started using his walker the following week. It took two months for him to drop an additional 30 lbs. This walker was a great support to him while he carried the extra weight. Hope that helps!

The doctor's coat might be a bit big, depending on her size as a 1-year-old. We gave it as a Christmas gift to our then 2-years-8-month-old granddaughter, who weighed about 26 pounds, and it fit her well, and still does, at 30 lbs. The coat's length falls at her knees.

I'm not sure how tall my grandson is, but he's 10 months old and in the 98% for height. He's been puttering around in the walker for several months, and I think it will easily accommodate him for another couple of months, or until he is walking on his own.

We put my 5 month old grandson in it, but he is also abt 20 lbs. , his. 20 month old brother is on it too and weighs 30 lbs. your daughter is tiny and the infant one would be better for her. I originally got it for my 20 month old grandson

About 100lbs. This is to ensure your child can gain an excess amount of weight at a very young age, thus ensuring he/she will never need to walk.

I think it would be Ok if someone is there with the child. This walker does not tip over like a few of the others we purchased so I think it would be fine.

My husband also is 80 and 165 lbs. He is only 5'2" that is why we got a junior walker. It works out just fine for him since he is short and is great for me as it is so light that I can easily put it in the van without any problems.

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!

My grandson is also slim and I think weighed about 70 pounds when I bought this for him. He seemed to have no problem, but he's a veryathletic kid and always goes full out with anything he tries.

I bought it for a friend of mine. Her son's 1st birthday. She said it's his favorite and sturdy. He started to walk at 13m old. With that said, I've seen a multitude of parents blaming a toy for being inept, when in fact their child just couldn't walk well, which wobbly walking is normal. My son used something similar, but started walking about 9 months old. Long story short....depends on the child and how willing the parents are to not place blame.

I would thinkit should be o.k. Most walkers are the same height. Plus the handles are adjustable. Also the walker is well built.

Hi , it's recommended for babies from preemie up to six months of age, 25 pounds or to when the baby can sit up or crawl; whatever comes first. However , we used up until 8 months with our child .

My son was able to play in his until well into his mid 20lbs and he is a big fellow too for his age. He pretty much used it until he started walking at 9 months.

I believe they recommend use for older babies because it is designed to work for toddlers after they are walking, the activities are all accessible from the sides of the walker. As my great-grandson hasn't hit that weight yet, I don't know how much the seat can support. As it's very well constructed, I'm sure we'll be using it beyond the 25 lb range.
