The pad seems to be too thin with hard plastic all around. Is it comfy enough for my 4-months old baby?

It's extremely comfortable. The cushion is soft- perfect for lifting & cleaning out as well. You can Clorox if needed (trust me, you will have to do that at some point!) I've bought 2 & used for 3 of my kids...it's the best out there!For younger babies like yours- It still seats very well. The 5 point harness holds them in snugly & I would suggest rolling a burp cloth behind her neck for support until she can hold her neck upright well. Regardless, she will enjoy sitting & watching

I'm not too sure...my DD was very small when born and so I think she was about 6 (or so) months before she sat in the chair. If memory serves, we used a towel to give her more stability initially. The chair was one of her favorite places to be so I know she found it comfortable but I can't speak for all children.

This highchair does not recline so I would wait until a child can sit up to be placed in this highchair. It is comfy enough, in my opinion for a sitting child. :)

I bought it for my toddler but would have felt safe if he were an infant. I actually use a soft mattress pad because it isn't plush

The padding is nice but not very thick. It would not take long before it feels like a hard surface while sitting on it for a short period of time. But my answer of course is subjective.

The thickness is ok I actually lay a blanket down underneath it to be safe my son is 4 months .. It's just as thick as most as far as I have seen..

No, it's perfect firmness. My 4-mo old loves it, even to play and practice his tummy time. If it were softer (like our bed) he wouldn't be able to do tummy time so well (hands would sink a little into mattress).

The bottom does not have a thick padding, but as it is hanging (and not supported on a hard surface), I felt it was comfortable and my baby used to love this when she was little. However, I do not think it is good for extended time, I used it only for short naps. One big drawback I see for this is that the cloth is NOT washable (or I have not figured out it yet).

The pad is pretty soft... at first. Its pretty thin, and quickly flattens out and becomes hard if you have baby sleeping on it every night. Due to the odd shape, there aren't really any mattresses you can buy, and last I checked, Fisher Price didn't sell replacement pads. There is no sheet, and I haven't seen any in this size or shape. Eventually, I cut a small slit in the bottom of the pad and inserted a blanket to pad it. Also, the pad is not machine washable. If baby pees through or spits up on the pad, you have to hand wash and air dry. And then hope in dries before nap time. Because, no replacements. The pad is pretty soft... at first.

This is thin so it might help. It also does not feel like plastic on the back side. You might try this one or the Carter's rubber backed flannel puddle pads. I used something like this, but I was breastfeeding in the winter and we wanted the extra warmth, (American Baby Company Organic Cotton Quilted Waterproof Sheet Saver, Natural).

Hi! It would probably work as it isn't real stiff. It is comfortable & kind of soft. Good luck to you & your little one. Munchkin ���

It's not too stiff. It's almost like a thicker fleece. My baby can suck her thumb and bend her legs without any trouble.

It is not cushioned. It's just a layer of flannel with a waterproof backing. For a quick change outside the home we use this on hard surfaces. I've seen people use this on their beds. I think if you are kneeling on a hard floor it might hurt your knees to change the diaper. Especially the first couple weeks when they poop constantly. Maybe get a little area rug for you and baby? Something thick enough to cushion for you & SO. Or you can use a folded blanket?

Go buy yourself a brick from your local hardware store. That brick will be softer than this pad. A lot softer...

I got this for both my 4 y/o and my baby who is now 11 months. We've used them a few months and love them. I don't feel it's rough or uncomfortable for either of them. We had a britax convertible... that was softer but he got hot in it a lot. And our infant seat was a chicco which was comparable to this graco. Hope this helps!

I walk on it barefoot and my 21 month old walks and plays on it. It is hard plastic. It's comfortable for me. But my comfortable level may be different from yours. We used it to cover our wooden deck floor so our daughter could play on it. I believe a baby could crawl on it comfortably. We will be moving it soon when we move to use under her play structure in our yard (concrete ground). Hope this helps.

Not at all. Its a fabric very resistant but smooth enough for baby to be confy.

Yes, I think it is a bit too firm for my baby, too. Agreed--firm is necessary for safety--but we have found she seems to sleep more soundly on the (toxic chemical-infused, not-at-all-green) crib mattresses at each of our parents' houses, and those are both much softer. Any ideas for softening it up?

I did not have this exact one. The one I had was hard where baby's head would rest. To fix this problem, I just put some blankets between the cover and the plastic piece. This made it soft.
