Can it be used after the child is able to sit by themself?

The glider has a seat belt and was used beginning at 1 month and is still being used at 6 months. It operates on batteries and electricity and has soothing sounds. It rocks infants to sleep. It is now being used so that the 6 month old can watch the Baby channel. It really takes a load off mom and gives her a break. It was a gift.

Yes. It has the 5-point harness similar to a carseat. It's a matter of whether or not your child will fit in it or want to stay laying in it. For us, we returned it because our daughter didnt want to be strapped down any more (9 months an walking) as well as it was very tight on her and wouldn't loosen up any more (she was only 17lbs and 28 ins).

Diana, the swing is designed to accommodate babies from 5.5 to 30 lbs., so I would imagine that a baby, who begins sitting at, say, 6 months, would be able to still enjoy the swing, although I don't know for how many more months. Again, it will depend on his weight first, and then, upon how contented he is when in it. I would certainly make sure that the five-point harness is engaged! My daughter and son-in-law are really ejoying this gliding swing. Sometimes little David sleeps better in it than in the bassinet, but he is just six weeks old. Hope that helps a bit.

No. My boy would try siting and broke a clip making the glider wobble. I didn't feel confortable keeping him in it after. But he loved it!

I used it unstrapped till my son reached toddler age... dont leave child unattended... i sat right with my child if he wasnt strapped to a chair securely...

It doesn't really provide any support for sitting. You can use a blanket/pillow to prop your daughter upright in the seat, as long as she has good head/neck control. I didn't really start using this with my daughter until she was closer to 5 months.

I purchased the carrier for my new grandson. My son normally used the carrier and I do believe he was able to sit.

You should be able to. I've been using it with my son (and seat fully reclined) since about 2 months.

No. It is only about a foot from the ground and the kiddos feet are on the ground, or the shouldnt be on it. If the little one isnt able to manage a strong upright seated position and control their balance fairly well I wouldn't use it. There are carseats on pulleys for littler ones that require more positional support.

Hi Michael. You can turn the seat while the child is in it, but is more difficult to do so. I did it all the time before my son outgrew the seat.

Yes, this is how I use mine. Remember it only covers the width of a regular seat, so if you are using an extended rear facing timeframe for your toddler, he or she may have long enough legs to be able to reach outside of the width of the mat.

Yes. Just be prepared the sides rip where the child sits. But you can still sit in it. I use a stroller almost everyday and this didn't work well for that. Wasn't worth the money to me.

I got it for granddaughter at about 5 mths but after about 4 weeks she was able to sit up well so we did not use it anymore. She enjoyed being in it. I recommend about 4 mths once they can stable their head very well n show signs of wanting to sit. This way u can get ur monies worth. Enjoy.

I think it depends on the personality of child whether they will sit there or not. I used it up until 8 or 9 months because I would put him in it only to wash him and then take him out and let him play in the tub. It was just easier for me to have him in the seat to wash him. Then I could just help hold him as needed while he was playing. I hope that helps!

Possibly. The articulating joints allow many positions. But I'm not certain you could get it to be directly over the seated child. It might be a little high over the head and closer to parent eye level.

I did not use this from the beginning with my son's potty training. I do know he is 4 years old now, and he's still potty-training. He was getting too big for the seats in the stores. He does like this seat and will sit on it. I've been told you can use it for younger ages (1 1/2 or 2 year-olds), as well. I hope this helps!

Yes. And it will be in the way of your sitting on the seat comfortably. But the child will love it, and I made the sacrifice of comfort for the baby. I got used to it.

There is no specified minimum, but I would suggest that the child be able to sit unassisted.

Yes you can do that My kid is two years old so he can't sit like that but baby can sit in it

Yes, you can definitely sit on it. We have 3 of them and they pull double duty in our house when we have company - a place to hide our kids' many toys, and extra seating!
