Looking for something to support my bad back while sitting on the floor playing with my 1 yr old daughter. Would this provide enough support?

I use this to sit on the floor and play with my dogs. I find it very supportive for my back.

I am pleased with the firmness of the back, it's adjustable too, and the support it gives me. I have only used it on gym bleacher seats so far and have been grateful by the end of the tournament that I had it. I would not be able to answer for you on how much support you would need but I would recommend this chair!!

I used the seat for a stadium seat at ball games, but the back is adjustable and I believe it would give you support.....

Yes, very firm and strong support. My wife uses hers for computer work sitting in bed.

I also have a bad back, which is why I bought this chair. I'm not sure how severe your situation is, but I found that the chair is durable enough for the price and has different degrees of incline which you can manually adjust the back to. All in all I think this chair is a good option for back pain.

The back support is decent if you're just sitting, not great if you're more active though. The chair takes up some space when stowed. I personally wouldn't want to tuck it into a corner of the living room because it's not compact enough but you might have more space than I do. I don't see it as a "daily use" kind of thing. Great for dragging to the park once every couple of weeks but not great for dragging around daily.

My daughter is 53 pounds. This is perfect for her. Anything more than 70, I don't think it would work well. Some older and larger kids have tried it but it was too small and didn't give them the same spring as for a smaller kid.

I want to ensure the "BOTTOM SUPPORT" of this seat is going to be comfortable for EVERYDAY USE, along w the "BACK Support". My child just turned 2 years old 4 days ago. He is custom & VERY use to His "Chairries/by JonTi-CrafT" but enough eating in living room!! Does anyone feel this Transition of not only The Cairrries but his own personal"Security, Stability, Safty" WILL BE MET BY THIS PRODUCT?

I think so, my daughter is one year old and she sits pretty good but if you want something to use for a longer time, buy a different one.

When I sit in the chair, I feel it supporting my lower back. The back curves in to give support, but there isn't anything extra there. [special pillow or pump] It would depend on how much lumbar support you need. It works well for me.

I purchased this for my girlfriend who has back problems, she loves it. I think it would do what ya need but remember you will sink into it a bit.

Yes. I bought this for my son when he was 6 weeks old. He was around 10lbs and 22 inches at the time. It provides support for his neck and head. He wasn't very interested in the toys at first, but they are starting to get his attention now. I recommend it if your child prefers sitting up like mine. However, my son holds his head up pretty well.

I think that maybe a child that big would need a more sturdy chair with more height to the back. My 15 month old grand-daughter hits her head on the back bar. This is a great inexpensive option but everyone in the family has tripped over the back legs because they stick out so far.

I think that this would be fine to use for an older child. I sit and stand on it often and I am 120 lbs.

You really do need some one there---How frail is Mom?. I'm not joking. My husband and I went through numerous Maxi rub's. Not because they are bad---but it's the greatest and best gift I ever gave my construction worker husband. We used to do each others backs every night for 1/2 an hour each and it really did the greatest number on our backs. He's passed now and I really realize what a great deal of help that massager was doing for both of us. I miss him---and our 1/2 therapy with that maxi. It would be awkward if it was for your Mom to do on her own. If she had a lower back problem she might be able to "prop" it in a chair and lean against it. If she's elderly it might be a problem. I'm 64 and I bought myself a "Shiatsue" massager (sp). If your Mom has siatica (sp) that might be a problem too. Some women who have Calcium deficiancy in their bones might find this uncomfortable. There are cheap models under a 100.00 out there but they aren't much good---the one that's about 125.00 or so is great---My boss borrowed it and 4 friends---I had to threaten one of those to give it back. They are like a matte that you sit on with a back. The good ones have metal or hard plastic balls in the back part that go up and down---mine can go side to side along the spine---you can also use the remote to hit the button to make it stay in one spot. I love mine---If any of this is too much sometimes a plain old heating pad works Let me know if you need more help-I've had back problems my whole life with a handicap child

I would say yes, the bottom is sturdy and with the help of your child's legs that gives more support. The sides are a little flimsy, but do stand up well.

I doubt it. My year old twins sat indignantly inside together during a several hour period of judgment lapse on my part. They're pretty sturdy babies, too-- 25 pounds/piece. The design is wide at the bottom and narrows at the top, so I think that helps with the balance.

My daughter uses this chair, she is about 6 inches off the ground when sitting in the chair. It does not have a ton of back support just an FYI.

I wouldn't say it's good to sit on unless you have a child size bottom. :) it's perfect for a head rest and only a couple inches thick. It does have good suction and grip so it would keep you from slipping on the seat. Two would work maybe.

Yes! My daughter has been using this since she was 3 months old and loves it. Shes now 4 months old and weighs 13lbs. You will need to put a pillow below her feet for support because her feet wont reach the floor. I also roll up a receiving blanket and wrap it around her chest to help keep her steady in the seat.

It is comfortably soft, and the support for a head and neck would work, but have in mind that you can't recline just the backrest- the whole seat reclines, so you can't lay it flat, and that might be an issue for a newborn. We got it for our 4 month old once he started to show desire to sit.

it has absolutely no support! I had really bad pack pain from it. This thing is just springs covered with fabric, how can it be called a mattress. Actually go to a mattress store and buy a real mattress for your kid, and actually have them lay on it to pick out the most comfortable one for them. They are undergoing developmental stages and their back is an important part of health.
