My daughter is 6 (49 lbs.) and is working on back walkovers. Space is an issue for us and I'm wondering if the small wedge would work? Any thoughts?

If she is tall it might not.... But it is smaller and less expensive. However, you will want to be with her At ALL times when using the mat because it is not stable and will flip over. I bought it for my 2 year old who she first started gymnastics... She is almost 4 now and weighs 40lbs. The mat is really made to attach to another mat for security... But it has been a wonderful way for my daughter to practice skills at home. I would recommend it.

I had limited space and it did not work for me. I believe an inch is too little. It will clip but it will rock back towards your child as soon as any pressure is applied to the edge.

My wife is 5'6(130lb) and it works great. Im 6'1 (190lb) and its great for me too. Its a little heavy/awkward for a smaller lady to carry but can be done. At 5'3 she might be able to go with a shorter/smaller board too. They are great boards though.

I think this should work with a smaller dog. My dog Rocky, a big, old (14 yrs) Akita with arthritis learned how to use it pretty fast. It was not a very steep slope to get into the seating area. If the slope on the ramp is not very high then then you should go for it.

If she is not having to lift it I would say it would be fine for her. It isn't super heavy but it is awkward. We have found that slipping the foot rests off helps. It rolls well and the seat could use some more padding, but a memory foam type cushion works well in the one we bought my dad. The 16" width fits easily through most doors.

I would still buy this one. My husband is 5'10" weighs 160 and I am able to maneuver him just fine. The back is high enough for him. I believe if anyone was over 6' it may be a little low but would still be okay. It is a little difficult to push over wide thresholds but not impossible. We spend a lot of time going to therapy at a hospital and there are lots of doors with thresholds and we do just fine. Hope this helps.

Hi Julia, I purchased one of these chairs a couple of months ago. My wife is 5ft1inch and weighs 115 lbs. She easily fits into the 16 wide chair and it has the advantage of passing through small door ways. The foot rests are adjustable to accommodate about any height so I don't think you will have an issue there either. The chair seems to be sturdy and not very heavy so one can easily lift in and out of a car trunk. If your daughter doen't need the leg supports to keep her legs horizontal you can remove the supports and make the unit a couple of lbs lighter. I hope this answers your questions. I consider it a excellent wheelchairand especially considering the economical price. Regards, Dennis

We used this with our 8 yr old, 50lb daughter this past summer. I think it is more of a weight issue. It is a bit of a drag behind you.

I have the same problem. I am an "hourglass" shaped woman, 147 lbs, and my butt and legs spill over the edges of the Backjoy posture relief, which doesn't allow me to use it properly. Did you find something that does work for you? I like the concept and think it could help... at a larger size!

Well, I guess it depends on how long? I can only speak from experience. My daughters were 19 3/4 and 20 1/2 respectively and it worked great both times. I would guess it would be fine because there is no velcro or fitted areas. We used till they were both 4 mos. I would think you could try..not sure about return policy on these items. Best!

I think it would be okay if the child's legs are not bent a lot with knees much higher than the thighs. It would've been difficult with my child when he was around 1 has his knees bent a lot for rear-facing. You should check if it would work by placing a book on your child's lap to see if it stays somewhat flat. If you're not sure of the size of the product, check the company's website. I hope this product will work for your child or, if not at least, find something else that's useful.

Yes, my 6-year old does high kips and circles with no problem. We did get the extended base legs and they do help. It's a great beginner's bar.

My husband is 6' and he has to hunch just a little to push. It's sort of a problem indicative of most strollers. It's not as short as some of the other strollers we own, but the handle doesn't adjust as our single graco one does. However, there's been no issue of kicking the bar, and my husband wears a size 13 shoe.

We have not had any issues with the trampoline popping up in the back. It works great for our daughter who is 2 1/2.

Yes, I think this would work for you. My daughter is the same height and it works great for her.

Since the seat is adjustable I can see her fitting this. However, if really a concern I would rather start with a 16" wheel. Smaller is easer to learn on. Better starting small than to get frustrated.

I think that maybe a child that big would need a more sturdy chair with more height to the back. My 15 month old grand-daughter hits her head on the back bar. This is a great inexpensive option but everyone in the family has tripped over the back legs because they stick out so far.
