hi there, may be a silly question. my nephew is 25lb but he is only 1year old. Is it possible to use the seat or it has to be a 2yr+ child?

No I d9nt helieve this would be safe for a 1 year old. And im not positive but I dont think he meets the weight requirement. My 3 year old daughter is 36 pounds and was just over the weight minimum. I dont think your nephew would meet the minimum height either. I highly recommend Britax Boulevard. That held my daughter until she was 33 pounds but had plenty of room for the straps to expand if she was heavier. She was getting to tall for it at 39 1/2 inches tall. My 8 month old is in the Boulevard now. He is 19 pounds and 28 inches tall. Fits him great. It can be put in the rear facing position for longer providing added safety. This one cant rear face.

I'm not sure if the seat is rear facing. From what I have read, they say that children should remain rear facing until they're at least 2 years old. Weight does not matter. This may be why it recommends 2 years of age. I definitely recommend the seat, but not until he is at least 2. I hope that helps.

No not for a one year old, the harness straps would be too high.....I am using this for a 4 year old.....you can always check requirements on britax website

You should still be able to use it because it has the five point harness. The only time weight isn't the only factor is when you switch to the booster where you only use the seat belt.

He needs to be two for this car seat. American Academy of Pediatrics best practice is rear facing until two.

I think you could def use it on a 1 year old based on their size and that it reclines however if you still have the child rear facing then I don't think you can you the click tight technology. If they are front facing then absolutely. My son is 3 1/2 and only 30 pounds lol

A 1 year old, no matter how much they weigh, should still be rear facing, a 25lb child, no matter how old they are, should also still be rear facing, so, no, you should not use this for a 25lb 1 year old.

Hi, My kid is almost 4, but my two nephews, 7 and 8 years old, always use the chairs and the table with no problem. I consider that until 6 or 7 years are the most suitable. You welcome!

I think it should be safe for 1yr old. My only concern would be to make sure that kid's feet do not touch the ground while riding. Normally , the legs would be secured on the pedals, and older kids would understand not to touch the ground. However, 1yr old probably won't be able to reach the ground even if s/he tries.

25 lbs and at least 2yrs old. My opinion the Boulevard is a better seat for a 2yr old though. It's more "cradled" to their still small bodies! I call this his big boy chair! I hope this helps you;)

I started riding with my son in it when he was 1 year old and up to when he was 4 years old and he surpassed the 40lb weight limit and out grew it. I'd have no problem riding a child under 1 yrs in it either

Because children come in such variations of weight and sizes, you really need to look at that rather than age. This seat will accommodate a child up to 65lbs. or a seat shoulder height of 16.5".

Correction to "Mother of Twins"--at 22lbs/head w/in 1" of top, then put the headrest on and continue RFing till 35lbs. My daughters rear-faced until ages 2 and 3 in this seat, and now one is still using it as a 5 yr old FFing. I am buying a new one for my baby now.

I honestly was told by my daughter's pediatrician that a child over 40lbs can begin to sit on a booster seat. Hope this helped.

Hi I have one toddler n a bub. It is quite easy to manuvor it. But beware the seat is not that big. Lying is abit uncomfortable for a toddler. K

No. This is a convertible seat geared toward toddlers over a year old and over 20 pounds.

Supposedly it is for children 5 to 65 pounds. I wouldn't recommend it though only because it doesn't recline as far back as the infant car seats. It also is not portable. You would have to take the baby in and out of the seat at each stop. I would highly recommend an infant seat for the convenience. It is a great car seat though!

I used this seat for a almost 2year old...just shy of 2yrs old by 2 months. It worked great. It comes with harness and belt straps. ALso perfect for traveling when we would travel to Florida. My petite four year old still uses it now. Love it and it cleans up well!

I believe they say you can use it for over a year because the seat is removable. I do have thus item and a friends toddler who is about 45 pounds like to jokingly get in the seat and play around and it holds her just fine. I would say it's safe, especially if your child can hold most of their own weight.

I think the instructions said not to use the seats until the baby is like 6 months old. However, because it reclines into an almost flat position I feel you can use it on a younger child. 1 month & 10 lbs. is probably a little small... But once they are like 4 months old it's probably okay as long as the straps can be adjusted tight enough to safely hold the baby in the stroller. For a 1 month old I'd recommend using the bassinet add on or buy the car seat adapter to use that on your stroller until your baby is a bit bigger. I hope this helps!

It can be used for babies as small as five pounds. However, I would NOT suggest buying this item. I have two of these seats and my brother has two of these seats. They had a part recalled almost a year ago now and neither of us have received the replacement piece yet! I have called numerous times and spoke to many people and they cannot tell me anything other than they are very behind in getting these parts made. I have never had a problem with Graco before, but if one of their baby seats are recalled and they cannot get you the part you need in a timely fashion, I would it purchase from them. I know I will NOT be buying from them in the future. It can be used for babies as small as five pounds. However, I would NOT suggest buying this item.

My youngest daughter started using the seat at 17 months. I also have another daughter who is four years old and still uses the seat.

Yes, the seat is good for children as low as 5lbs. She can use it until she reaches 65 lbs.
