The arms slid off too easy for him to be able to wear, the waist/chest was ok when tighten all the way.

I don't think it'll work. My girl is 25lbs and with a bit of a belly and it fit good on her but with strap totally as tight around waist as it could go. Skinnier and it wouldn't have been tight there.

It's been great for our daughter since she was about 20 months old. The optional padding helped with customizing the size. She still has plenty of room to grow. She's about 6th percentile for weight and her head's pretty proportionate to her body. I hope this helps!

Did you end up purchasing this stroller or a different one? I am in the same predicament and haven't decided. Concerned that my two kids, 2 years and 5 months, both 100th percentile, will outgrow quickly. Thanks for any feedback.

My son is 2 1/2 and he is tall for his age. Right now the shoulder straps are on the 2nd setting comfortably. Even with him being in the 90th percentile, I think he will use this stroller until he doesn't need one anymore....then I'm keeping it for baby #2! It really rocks!!

The manufacturer specs say it should not be used for a child over 37 lbs. Our granddaughter is very big for her age, is now ten months old and doing fine in it. It secures very well to the table and when screwed in tight it's extremely solid (BTW, manufacturer states table should be solid, stable and from .8" to 3.3" thick). One quirk: Italians must loosen and tighten screws etc. the opposite of us. You turn the hook on chair arms to the left to tighten, right to loosen. This chair is very portable, easy to clean. Our own sons were raised in high chairs. This takes up less room and can easily be taken anywhere. I highly recommend this chair.

Our son started using it close to 5 mo. At first he was tip toeing a little so we put a pillow underneath him. Now he's at 17 pounds and close to 6 mo. I guess takes a little learning from the little one to get use to it. Now, he jumps in it like crazy and he has learned to swivel and turn. He can stay in it for about 30 minutes then gets bored. I'd say it's a good pre walking gym to have. Develop those leg muscles etc etc. However I think when little ones get to start walking I don't think they'll care much about jumpers. So I'd day you'd get a good 6 mo out of it give or take. Hope that answered it... and its just my opinion. Aloha and happy babying. Our son started using it close to 5 mo.

My son was around 35 lbs when he used this, but very slender and this fit him perfectly with some room to spare so he'll be able to use it for awhile. If she's slender for her age you might want to wait on this one until she's a bit bigger around the middle so it fits snugly, (since it IS meant for 30-50lbs)but if it doesn't fit her well now, I'm sure it'll fit her by the time she's 24 months.

Our son used it until he was almost a year old (even though he was walking). He was 30+ inches at that point and was on the highest setting. Our daughter is your son's height and is on the lowest setting still, but she'll likely be moving up soon.

I bought this for my 2 year old son. He is very petite and when I have this as tight as it goes, it ALMOST stays up on his waist. He is very tiny though. I would say it would be perfect for most 3+ year olds. I am not sure how big the waist gets though.

My daughter who just turned 2 was that weight and I got an extra small. It fit snugly but be careful for some reason my daughter kept falling over face first but it is too cute. If that happens try the arm floats, they work really well for us

I have a 7 mo. Old who is 21 lbs. And he loves it. I had the same one but pink for.my first and she used it till past 1 yr old. Loved it!! Nice to put them in when their mobile and you have to leave the room...unload groceries etc.

My daughter was about the same size at 7 months old. I was desperate for sleep so I tried this but she hated it and it did not work for us. However, all babies are different so you may have a better experience!

Unless you are a regular weight lifter I wouldn't recommend it, and I am pretty sure he exceeds the weight limit, anyhow. I was no longer comfortable carrying my son for any length of time in a front carry after he was 15lbs; he's about 25 lbs and this *may* help a bit with a hip carry still. You should look for a toddler soft structured carrier (I think most are rated up to 40 lbs), or I think a Storchenwiege wrap could work. Either way, you'll have to shell out around $150-180 new for a carrier that will work for you. The structured carriers are very nice for back carries if you need to carry him for a longer period of time.

Well I bought it for my grandson 2 years ago (he's was 6 at the time) and he stills uses it, but the only thing wrong with it is he said it was for little kids ( he's quite athletic) meaning it was to low for him. Hope this helps you out!!

Lots of different answers..but it all comes down to how big your baby is. Mine measured almost 25 inches and 15 lbs at 2 months (99th percentile, so not common).. and he's just about outgrown it. i do love it though and wished he would have been able to use it longer.

I really just went based on whether or not my daughter fit in it anymore. She was in her chair from 3 or 4 months old until about 7 months old. She is really big though. She has remained in the 97th-100th percentile since she she was born. So even as big as she is she was still getting at least 4 months of use out of it. I could have had her in it sooner because she was controling her head and neck within a month from birth and trying to sit up at 2 months, but I was slow at figuring out it was time for an infant chair. It really was a great little chair and we got so much use out of it during that time frame she could fit in it. I don't actually know what the weight limit is; I think I looked for it before but did not find one. She just turned one so it was a while ago. I will also add that she has very chunky thighs along with being very tall and in general larger than most her age and she fit in it rather well. I would imagine that the chair would last even longer for infants that follow the normal growth curve. I was not even diabetic and she came out weighing 9lbs, 8oz.

that's a good point. i didnt wait to find out how long it would be before my son outgrew it. once i saw that at around 10 months and 50th percentile for height and weight i could barely squeeze him in, that was enough for me.
