i have a 10 month old n a 2 and 1/2 yr old is it safe for a baby to sit inside buckled ???
1822221
I feel like it would be as long as they are buckled tightly and on pretty smooth ground

If the baby can steadily sit up on his/her own, and you're not pulling fast/hard, they should be fine.

Bought this wagon for my Daughter and her then 1 yr old. He is now 16 months. I asked my daughter and she said that she thinks the seats are too high for it to be safe for the 10 month old, even buckled in. She would put the 10 month old down in the middle which goes down deep, and maybe surround him with a blanket.

My baby is almost seven months. He has been sitting in it since he could sit up. We had to use a blanket at first because he was a little small for it. However his legs are still too short for him to reach the ground. He loves to play with the toys though.

My 23#er isn't putting any stress on it. I think the problem that you would have is that at some point he will either be too snug in the seat or too tall to be contained in the seat (there are straps which will raise his butt up higher if his legs get long). It seems sturdy enough that 30# would not tear the seat out or cause the seat to break off of the grooves. If I'm wrong, you have a broken toy but probably a safe baby as he will only be at standing height. That said, my attorney advises that you decide for yourself what to do with your child. For me, this is a reliable 30 minutes of parental freedom and I intend to keep putting my kid in it so long as he fits and continues to enjoy it. My 23#er isn't putting any stress on it.

I didn't use it all the time. When the baby was very small I didn't feel like he could flip himself out or anything and sometimes I didn't want to risk disturbing his sleep. I tried to put a blanket underneath him to avoid the buckles. But I'd say it's better to use it just to be sure.

We only used it once, and it was ok for an 11 month old. It is wider at the base than the top of the chair, that gives stability. Also, the baby is snugged right into that seat, which doesn't allow for much movement. Consider how your own weight feels in one of these folding chairs, although I realize that the baby chair is a bit higher off the ground. I am a safety nut with kids(retired teacher) and this seems like a safe chair.

No , I would make sure you had some kind of safety belt attached as they ( babies ) are apt to wiggle ! My daughter was stable and reasoned with enough by the age of 2 but before that I would use a safety belt

My 10 month old chubby monkey Grandson still fits in it nicely but has to be strapped into the "seat belt" because he constantly wants to roll over. I think he might have another 6 months in it tops. So I'd say no for a anything over 18 months.

I don't think it would be good for a 10 month old. It is a slightly lower booster than others, so your baby wouldn't be able to reach the table. Also, even buckled it a baby that age could topple out. I have my 2.5 yr old in this booster (and love it) but I have my 14 month old in a taller booster with a tray. I feel like the tray is an extra safety measure for him.

Yes! We are using it that way right now with our (just turned) 2 year old. I make sure she's buckled and I slide her up to the table before I walk away, so I don't worry about her trying to escape!

I use it like a bassinet. It's deep enough that a young baby would be hard pressed to climb out! Until they actually start grabbing and pulling themselves out of things I think the restraint is unnecessary. The angle and shape of this bed holds them in the right position much like a car seat but more reclined. I've been considering cutting out the buckles because I feel like once we actually will need them we'll be moving our babe to the portacrib.

It is very sturdy but I would not let my baby go near or under it. A little common sense it would probably tip over.

My older one yes, my baby is now a year and loves reclining. I just hang a car seat toy off one of the buckles and she does great.

Your 19 month old should be just fine in the harness provided without the baby seat. That's probably about the same age our daughter was when we started using it. We love the seat!

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)

We purchased 2 of these for separate granddaughters and both LOVE them! I have dropped the unit on the floor and done no damage but saw nothing on the packaging about "crash testing"...the strap to hang in from a bar Velcros shut so I think it will stay in place, but I am not sure I would hang it over a small baby just in case.....hope that helps.

I live in Germany. We had a few hot days in the summer. The only part that gets hot is the metal that goes into the buckle. So once it is Buckled there are no hot pieces that can touch the baby.

Maybe? This has come up on car-seat.org several times. It seems Diono has said yes it is OK, but they had to draw the line somewhere. If you feel your child is OK in the more upright position, then I guess it becomes a parental decision. I will point out, though, that my 2 1/2yo often slumps in this seat when sleeping, so with an 8mo, it might be even worse. I don't think you're going to get a hard and fast yes or no. You could call diono yourself and see what they are currently saying. http://www.car-seat.org/showpost.php?p=2139611&postcount;=35
