My son has missing lower limbs (no legs), I'm wondering if he would be able to maneuver this because his center of gravity if different, thoughts?

I would think he could maneuver it as long as he could balance on it, and you do have the handle bars to hold onto to help balance. You make it go by moving the handle bars back and forth. You do need a smooth surface to ride on. My grandchildren love it! (ages 2-11) The 2 year old started riding it when she was about 18 months old.

It's more than just center of gravity, legs are needed to counter the back-and-forth arm movement. This could still be a very fun toy for your son, though, if he's able to be strapped onto the base. I can picture something in my head: It will require some ingenuity and a bit of engineering using some strapping material and some basic sewing. Good luck!

Yes. My nephew is 4 and transforms it better than I can. He has a lot of similar toys though and knows to check how the joints are supposed to move and not to force it.

It depends on where his rear leg is amputated. There must be sufficient upper leg to be able to have the loop hold him into place. Maybe you can post a photo of him?

My one year old cant reach with both feet yet but he does lean to one side and spins himself in circles with one foot. So yes.

I don't know what the exact answer is, however, it is adjustable so you can move it to the lowest setting for your son. My grandson was barely 9 months old, is small for his age, he had absolutely no problem moving around in this. His feet touched the ground just fine.

I would say it depends on the age of the child perhaps not a 2 year old but a 3 and up child. with no back a smaller child could fall off.

if you're talking about so you can put him in a sitting position, no, his legs can go almost straight out (I just tried it) but I wouldn't recommend being too forceful with it.

We didn't use the legs with ours--it was more stable for our 2 year old that way.

I don't see why not. Body mechanics are basically the same. If the child's feet are raised it won't be as much of an angle as an adult but it certainly would be a better angle than the child having feet hanging free. I'd be willing to give it a shot.

When my son was learning to sit in the chair, he crawled in belly first and wriggled his way up (if you can imagine) and it never tipped on him. He's 2 now and likes to throw his head and arch his back and stand on the chairs and jump off. Seems pretty stable to me. The backs are low and plastic is going to be slippery on wood or similar floors. But he's not had any accidents with them that weren't caused by his own rowdiness.

I would say this is the only complaint that I would have about this chair. The tray is fixed so you cannot move it to fit to your child. My daughter is actually able to pull her legs up and put her feet on top of the tray. Personally, this isn't a big deal to me. But I can see this being a problem for some.

Thank you for contacting Active Forever. Unfortunately we cannot make recommendations on this product. You would have to contact a doctor to see what tension would be needed for your son.

He's gonna need somwmething more sturdy. I'm only 4' 11 its perfect for me. Yes it would be a frustration. Its more for shorter people. You would be better getting something else

It could probably take being knocked around a bit, but isn't particularly weight bearing. 30lbs is a bit much, if applied with 3yr old reckless disregard.

I would think 4 feet and under - leg length may be a issue for under 3 feet tall - weight limit?? Don't know that - my grandson is small for age but is 11 and still rides his

I believe he could but it is gonna require you to show him a couple times. Its not difficult but there is a sequence that pulls it tight and to disassemble it requires that he reverse that sequence. You see the head and foot have two bars and one is longer to give you leverage for the pull taught. If strength is questionable he may need help. Its a great buy. Just used it last week for my daughter. She slept in our room on a trip to the beach.

Our oldest is 8 and about 77 lbs and jumps on it. it will lead forward if he doesnt jump standing straight up. But he jumps on it daily...sometimes with the 2yo seating under him. I have jumped on it to and it did find. (although I wouldn't do that normally) It is very solid and a great buy. Well worth the money and has helped our SPD son alot.
