How does this seat support the weight of the child? It has such great reviews but totally looks just hollow and unable to support any weight.

We bought this booster 3 months ago for our trip to NY. It worked wonderfully during the trip, and we have continued using it afterwards whenever we eat out. Our baby (toddler, as most would say) is 18 months old and 24lbs. She sits pretty still when she is in the booster and when she is eating. But because of some of the comments we've read, we always keep an eye on her when she starts to lean sideways in case she tips over. I am very happy with this booster and would recommend it to anyone who prefers to use their own booster at restaurants.

My son is about 30lbs and it supports his weight. When unfolded and attached to a chair the sides are pretty sturdy. Maybe my 18 month old is so used to going to restaurants that he would rather sit and be a good boy at the table with us than sit in a highchair. He doesn't squirm as much in the booster.

It worked great for us when we travelled with our 9 month old. We just tried it again now that he is 15 mo and 26lbs and it tends to fold. But when he was smaller we were gone for 2 weeks and used it daily and never had a problem.

The front doesn't have adequate support and didn't support our string bean of a child,granted he's a typical wiggly toddler boy. We returned it after a week of normal use in our home

It doesnt- that is the major problem with this chair. It is designed for a child that does not try to get out or move. Very lightweight and easy to carry (hence the good reviews), but not very useful.... I wish i had kept the packaging so i could have returned it!

It could support the weight of a booster seat, but beware- they scratch really easy. I've had mine for a year, and they're totally scratched up, and that's with minimal use. Your booster may really cause it to scratch. Just wanted you to know so you don't spend all this money without knowing how they wear! Good luck ;)

No Sir.....there is no support. It is more suitable for children. It does not stay open if you get up from your seat. It seems to be more of a cushion support for a support system.

Chair is proportioned for smaller children and sits low to the ground. If an adult was not too tall, wasn't too wide at the hips, and didn't weigh too much, I believe this chair would support him/her. I don't believe, however, that the chair is intended to support more than 100 pounds.

Our seat is still intact after about 1 year. However , the seat is rarely used. I'm sorry that happened to you. Dad is very light as well. He is finally gaining weight and is now up to 145 lbs.

My daughter is about three feet tall and her weight is thirty pounds, she is fives years old but the size of a two or three yrs old it works well for her, we put a pillow in it. I think this chair maybe too small for your child. I hope this help you.

Every child is different but my child really did not care to sit in this. I tried the Bumbo, the Mega Seat and did not have luck with either. The bumbo did not fit my little guy's chubby legs and the mega seat was okay but has a bump up in the front where the legs are so they are sort of elevated upwards slightly and I worried about his circulation. I finally had luck with the Summer 3-Stage SuperSeat. It has the cushiony support of the bumbo, can fit his legs just fine and he actually likes to sit in it and play with the toys! Wish I had seen this one first! You can remove the tray if you just want the seat. I really like it. I would skip the Sit-Me-Up.

the seat is pretty narrow.. not for chunky babies. it does not fold compactly, so ours is up all the time. To use the booster, you have to undo the screws. If you plan to use it up to 2 yrs.. I'd pick a different one. And the legs are pretty wide spread, I suppose for safety reasons. Good luck. I would look elsewhere.

I don't recall there being anything on the packaging and there isn't anything on my seat that says but I would agree with the prior answer. The edges on the one side are a little flimsy but the support comes for the toilet seat itself so if you place it squarely on the toilet it should be strong. I believe my kids were between 28-30 pounds when we used it.

Hi Charlotte. According to the information on the product page, it will support up to three hundred pounds. I have recycled the box so I don't know if there is a difference between what manufacturers say and what Amazon says. I have no reason to distrust Amazon. Now, if you're over that weight, I am not sure if it is a matter of the legs not supporting it or merely that the seat will no longer rotate. Either way, I think I would go for something more solid for safety's sake. I really do like the stool so I hope you will be able to use it, too! Good Luck,Lynda

I would say the seat and the center bar are strong enough so as to hold any weight. The only limitating factor is the size of the kid- more precisely the femur´s length. If the legs are too long, they may interfere with the handle bar in the turns. I would say that is around 3.4-3.6 (1.05- 1.10 meters ) feet tall more or less. Enjoy the seat!!

Hi! The trailer is great! Our girls are 4 & 3 and almost hit the max weight for the trailer and it does not sag. It has reinforcement bars for the kids to sit on (but they said they are comfortable) so they aren't sitting on the "fabric". My only warning would be to go slowly around corners and sharp turns. The trailers have been known to tumble and flip over. Still a great trailer!!!!

Mine are both small but the seat is very ample and the back is high so there is lots of support. I actually think that I will not buy another one for my grandchildren, I anticipated them using this until they can sit in a chair unassisted.

I believe this chair was designed for toddlers through possibly first grade (judging from the size.)I work with the children in our Sunday School twice a week and have sat on these chairs myself so that I can be at the child's level while working with them. I weigh 140 pounds and it has supported me without difficulty. We have been using these chairs for about 18 months and have been very happy with how well they have worked. They do not tip over easily and hold even my weight well.

The seat is pretty up right and does not recline. If a child does sleep in it they get that hung neck effect where their head just hangs by their chest. That said when tired enough my son does manage to sleep in it. Not as well as he did in his old reclining seat but he does sleep. That said it sleeps as well as any other booster seat does...

I have an almost 2 year old who still rides in it. He is about 30 lbs. If she sits well then she will do fine. However, I would consider the double version of this as well. I love this one, but it is a little squishy once the child gets about 2. I wish I would've gotten the double version of this.

Where does it say that it can only hold 50lbs? If that's the case, I am in trouble. Mine is already converted to the toddler bed and it is amazing, my little man loves it. I will caution you though, the paint is not the highest quality and, although it looks great, it is very easy for young ones to gnaw it off.However, it is easily remedied by adding proper crib padding along the rails. For my little one, I put a little lemon juice where he kept chewing and he never did it again!:)
