I like to use these for my older to kids to sit on WITHOUT car seats. Would the grips be uncomfortable on their "rear-ends"?

Im gonna say probably not. If it was for a few minutes they prob be ok, but extended periods of time might cause sweathing and irritation in the light blue areas where the grips are. I went and looked at mine and I myself would not enjoy a car ride on one. I hope this helps.

I don't think they'd be uncomfortable, the grips are very soft and not really thick so they wont be uncomfortable when they are sat on.

I don't think I would use it that way. The seat cover (grey part) is somewhat rigid and has channels (meant for the car-seat to sorta sit in) and the blue is more rubbery plastic. I don't think it would be comfortable. With lighter kids I think this would be slippery (on leather seats) and they may be sliding all over the place even seatbelted in. I don't think this would be comfortable used to just sit on. I would go with a style that was more of a padding or cloth material. I understand wanting to protect your seats, have you looked into something more for pets? Like those padded seat covers? We used those for people before (don't work for carseats).

Hi! This is Kristina from SlipX Solutions. I would say they are more towards rubbery. They aren't uncomfortable to sit on, however they do provide traction.

The armrests are not cushioned, nevertheless they are comfortable. I never typed while resting the elbows on the armrests, but I think it should be possible and comfortable. I really like this chair, I had it for over an year and solved my backpain.

Depends on the size of the child's arm. They're tight on me, but they stretch and are not terribly uncomfortable. Maybe they have a child's size.

No use replacing the foam grips, they are too easy to rip, and if your child is young and prone to chew on things, they can be dangerous. I used a band aid roll to cover the handles and it outlived the toy itself.

I would not think it would be comfortable to sit on. It is a very durable, stiff-like material that would keep a car seat from penetrating the cloth or leather seat covering. It does have ridges that would be uncomfortable to sit on. If you need extra storage, try hanging a pouch from the back of the seat in front of you.

Please do not use these with car seats. It is not safe to add ANY aftermarket items to a car seat. It also may void your car seat's warranty in some cases. Please contact someone that can help you find a safer solution. Your local labor and delivery department or police/fire station may be able to help.

They're a hard plastic -- and you can sit on them but I wouldn't call them comfortable. We use them as end tables to our outdoor sofa but we have pulled them around as extra seating. I don't think a big guy should sit on them, but kids and medium size adults would be fine. We get so many comments about them -- really cool look to add to a patio space.

No, my 7 year old son has been using these for over a year. Great for people of all ages because they are sturdy but not too heavy.

A stool should work. You might try that first to see if it helps. The main advantage of the SP is that it fits under the toilet when not in use. You can push it under and pull it out while sitting. It's also slanted slightly forward so it puts less pressure on the ankles than a flat stool would. I don't know about kids. I don't see how it would hurt, unless they are too small, and putting their feet up would cause their rear end to fall in, but I would probably check with the doctor first to figure out the cause of the problem.

No, their not comfortable for large adults. Their more suitable for kids 12-18 yrs old. Adults need a flatter surface with arms.

Yes, very comfortable -- this answer is based on a 2-year-old rearfacing child's opinion =)

No I'm afraid not. They would not be comfortable. My 2.5 grand daughter only sits at the ends.

I would say "yes". You sit comfortably and all the work is done with the legs. Handholds beside the seat allow you to stay in position easily, without any strain.

they are comfortable I use mine with a back pillow. they aren't very high so it depends on the height of your table.

No, and this is a significantly negative factor if you are accustomed to padded arms. Plus, they slope away from you at an uncomfortable arc, so it can be a problem.
