booklet advises not.there is no seat belt to secure him.Otherwise my wife loves it.very sturdy and well built.

The walker will roll with someone sitting in the seat. Sitting in the seat does not activate the brakes. The brakes must be set with your hands.

Kelly-the rollato walkerr might work, but I don't think it is recommended to do this. Have you looked into transport chairs?

I believe you could push him while hs is sitting on it. However, I wouldn't recommend pushing him for a long distance. I love my rollator, I hope this works for you.

It comes with a warning on the seat that says, "This is not intended to be a transporter" but personally, I think it would be just fine for transporting especially for a child. The warning label is most likely to protect the manufacturer from law suits. Of course, it doesn't have a place to rest ones feet.

This I don't know, that would need to be addressed to company that makes this product.

I've been unable to find the site which showed a comparison of the strollers and the weight they carry. I bought this one because it allowed for a higher weight limit than some of the others in the price range. I have an 18 lb Pug with hip and back issues who uses it primarily. However, her brother is 34 lbs and sometimes rides with her. I don't know how it would hold up over time with that much weight, but it doesn't have any problem with the 52 lbs it carries occasion.

Well we bought this stroller because we have a 7years old son and he is 4'3" tall and weight 52. I know that he is a big kid already to sit in the stroller but he is excited for his new baby brother and when we travel and go to disney parks he get tired to walk...and instead to spend money every time we went...we invest in the stroller for the new baby. The stroller max weight is 75...mi son sitting the head show off but he don't bother that and when he sleep the legs of course...but still he like because he can rest. I hope this answer help you. The stroller my husband call it the Mercedes Benz of the strollers...is very light when you ride it but I little heavy close but like he said we are not planning to do a marathon lifting the stroller close ;)

Hi Epic Girl: Regarding your question about the stroller. I tried putting a step stool which made my height to 5'10" tall. It was easy as far reaching the handle(the handle level is quite high) to push the stroller. I don't quite understand what you meant by kicking the stroller - at a guess I don't think you would be kicking the back side of the stroller because of the way it's designed. Otherwise, I must say it's a sturdy stroller - a bit bulky but very well constructed. I hope my response helps.

I ordered an infant insert for my 2 month old. The seat seems to recline more than enough- and with the infant insert/positioner it is great! I do fasten the buckles- but the insert keeps him from flopping around. I also asked my pedi about the manufacturers caution for babies- she said as long as you don't do anything extreme where the baby would fall out(common sense for any stroller) - you are good to go! My son loves it and so does my 4 year old! This is a great buy. I agonized over this decision for a while. The construction is great, hand brake is awesome, everyone loves it!!

I live in warm and sunny Los Angeles so I may not be able to help you out here. However, I do take this stroller to the barn a lot -- and I noticed when the terrain is not smooth -- full of dirt, sand, etc., the wheels do get stuck because they're so tiny. From what I've been told, if you frequent a non-smooth terrain (like, snow), you may want to opt for the strollers with bigger wheels. That's my uneducated opinion. Good luck! :-)

I'm not sure, I'd have to look up my stroller instructions, but my baby is 4 months old and weighs about 16-17lbs (I think or more) and he still uses the bassinet. His feet aren't too close to the edge. Even if I lift the bassinet to stroller position now his feet dont get cramned too much at the end. I like this because if it is windy or raining it doesn't get him all wet. The hood of the stroller would be nicer if it was a little bigger or had a middle position. There isn't any shocksystem, but it's a stroller and I'm not jogging or going over bumpy terrain with it. I love the stroller. But I can't see some people not.

No matter what I did the adapter constantly slipped, wobbled, and was unsteady I would hold the carrier down with one had while strolling... If you can take it back. Lower the back of your stroller so it is like a bassinet and depending on how young your child is use a snugglie, I actually use the infant cushion from our momma roo for our little guy.... He's getting bigger and I'm slowly propping him up more. Scratch the carrier and put your baby right in the stroller comfortably and safe.

Sorry to be first getting back to you now. I recently had a baby (hence the double stroller) and am first really emerging from the fog.My 2 and half year old is about 34-35 lbs and he loves the stroller. I know what other people have said about it being too small but my son loves it. He thinks it looks like a spaceship "pod" and likes for us to "blast-off!" together.My only complaint with the stoller so far is that it hard to hear my older son who sits in the front as we are strolling. He feels "far away". It is also difficult to get in and out of elevators and certain doors. We live in the city so this might be a problem specific to urbanites like myself.Hope this is helpful, if not too late! Sorry to be first getting back to you now.

We bought one for our son and daughter-in-law when our grandbaby was about 17 months old. She was old enough to enjoy being out but too small to have her own bike. She probably would have done fine a few months earlier. However, until your baby can sit up and support his/her own head you would want to place a baby carrier inside of the bike trailer or continue to use a stroller until the baby is a bit older. P.S. After months of using it she still loves it.

Hi I have a 16 month old who weighs about 24 pounds who likes to push the chair up to objects and step up on the back to climb and the foam barely gives on her. Also the foam is fairly firm on the part you sit/lay on but is still comfortable feeling I have even used it as a pillow a few times. The arms give some when you lean on the side but have always bounced back and according to the tag on the bottom the width measurement of the seat from the inside of the arms is 16 inches. Not sure if it will hold up 7 years but we have had ours about 6 months and it still has the shape it did when we first got it. Hope that helps.

Yes,it is designed to operate best with someone pushing the chair. The person sitting in the chair might be able to move by walking/pulling with their feet, but the wheels are not big enough for the person sitting in the chair to use to propel the chair like you could in a regular wheel chair.

This is going to sound stupid but i'll say it anyway. The front end of the stroller is so light that you can push down on the handle and lift the stroller off the ground while you jog. I do it all the time because of the wobbly non-lockable front wheel. I'm not fond of it. But it is what it is. Other than that, I think the stroller is a good one. Just can't have kids that are too big (about 4 yrs old is max) because the belts don't allow for large kids, nor is there much leg room. My 4 yr. old boy (sorta big for his size) and slightly tiny/thin 2-1/2 yr. old girl are shoulder-to-shoulder in the stroller. Good thing they don't fight too much.....

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

I bought it to carry my 19 lbs dog when I go out since I have arthritis. But I returned it because the wheels didn't go straight with my dog sitting in mesh. I don't know if it was because of the stroller or my arthritis hands or my dog's weight. The stroller may be good for a small dog or cat.

I never felt like the stroller was not stable with only one child in the front or back...however, it was more challenging to maneuver if there was only one child in the front seat. For this reason, I typically put our son/daughter in the back if I only had one of them. For the same reason, our son, who is the oldest, typically sat in the back seat. I hope this helps!
