What is the ideal age for this chair? Would it be worth the investment if my twins are 1?

I believe so - my granddaughter is eleven months old and has been using it for two+ months and we plan for her to use it for some time to come!

I started using this chair when my son was about 8 months old -- basically once he had good head control. He couldn't even sit up independently but he could sit in this chair just fine. He is now 13 months and 20 pounds and we still LOVE this chair! We plan to use it through the recommended weight of 37 pounds, which is about what our almost 5yo son weighs! I will add that we leave it attached to our counter and do not travel with it to restaurants, etc., as it is a bit of a pain, especially considering you'll never really know if it will fit on the different styles of tables when dining out. Overall it's a WONDERFUL chair and we love how little space it takes up while allowing our son to dine at the table WITH the family! Hope that helps! :)

We still use it with our 20 month old and find it every bit as useful, as he is not ready for a booster yet.

Think it would depend on the weight and size. My grandchild is 12mths old, but only weighs about 8kilos (20pounds) (was born preemie) and gets lots of use out of it. And I think it will be great for when she starts coloring and using playdough, a more controlled enviroment. I have it on our coffee table so she always feels part of the life going on.

I guess it depends in how much they weight. It hold up to 37lbs I believe. We have been using ours for about 4 months, she it 10 months old now.

I would recommend this for a newborn to 5-6 mths of age. Once your baby begins to sit up, I would stop using this chair.

My hesitation would be that a younger child may not be tall enough for the sir feet to touch the floor.The chair is fun - puts a smile on my face every time I sit in it. I'm 5ft 1 ½" and my friend is 6ft and both of us find the chair irks great. But a shorter person may be a bit unbalanced.

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.

The more important thing is the stage your child is at. Can they sit up on their own, and are they under the recommended weight limit per seat (I think it was 35 pounds but not 100% sure)? My twin boys started using this at about 5.5 months. So it is more making sure your child is ready and about to sit in a regular seat (though it can recline as well); they should be able to support their own head/neck and sit without much help before this.

I have a 3 & 1/2 years old daughter and she sets comfortably on it. yet i believe it can suits her up to 4 years old.

The sit height can be adjusted for little ones. But the chair is lacquered wood - so it is slippery. I would not recommend it for a 1 year old.

I bought the same chair but with the flower pattern fabric. This chair will definitely last beyond 6 years. I can even sit in it, being a small adult. It would depend on the size of your child, but I would think most children could at least use it to 10 years or so.

My grandson was only 16 months old when I bought it. Within a few days he was able to lift himself on to the chairs. Your son will be just fine. My daughter told me the house was a little to quiet for having a toddler and she found him sitting at his table and chairs with his books. How sweet. It's a great set for them to grow into. Sturdy as heck. Enjoy!

My granddaughter has been in it since about 6 months and she's 1 now. Her brother had the same chair and he sat in it until age 3. He still fit in the chair but he felt like he was a big boy and wanted to sit at the table in a chair like the rest of the family.

Hello Lora,3 month!? I think is more confortable for 10 months/1 year old, because the seat is more upright. But for the wheight (14 lbs) shoud be no problem.Regards,José Gomes

my son is 4 and average in height. its perfect for him. we can even lift the chair another inch now that he gained confidence.the bike is a little bigger than other brands I saw. Also I know you can buy a chair with longer pole. that might do.so, it depends on your kid's height. 5 is probably the maximum age for it. 6 is definitely too big.you can check also the bigger model.good luck!

I bought it for my granddaughter's 1st birthday. The child needs to be sitting up and steady, and able to hold on. I would say maybe starting at around 8 or 9 months. My granddaughter is almost 2, and she still loves it.

I purchased this for my twin girls' 2nd birthday. They loved it. I would think your 1-year-old would be ok in the middle section...or on the end if the other child was very gentle in rocking.

I am going to buy this one, I had an older version of a Fisher Price highchair and I put my kids in it until they didn't want to sit in it, about 18 months-2 years. My twins were/are skinny but my singleton was a Chuuuuunky Monkey. You are safe with this. (and for the record I will only buy Fisher Price highchairs, the crotch notch that is actually attached to the chair makes a world of difference and you don't have to use the buckles later on and they won't slide out)

well, one of my twins is kind of big for it- she's 4'6"- an extremely tall 6 y/o. the other twin is a good 3-4 inches shorter than her. He's average height and will be able to use it another couple of years. Very quality item btw. easy assembly (15mins) no special tools.
