Is this safe for children/ pregnant? Looking at the manual, it says for use from 10 years on, and to ask doctor if you are pregnant. i am wondering if there is a way to use the machine without the "fat measure" mode so that anybody can use it?

i bought it a while ago soon after my son turned 2. we use it at the kitchen table when making art projects. i still use his high chair when eating since he does not resist sitting it in still. i think if i sat him in the booster seat i would have a mess on my floor :-) my son sits very well in this seat - he is 2 1/2 years old, weighs 28 pounds, and (I'm not totally sure on his height) is a little short for his age. i feel that this booster seat will last at least 2 more years for him. fyi...i saw this exact seat at Walmart the other day for just over $10. You could probably go there and see if they have it in order to see it first-hand. i bought it a while ago soon after my son turned 2. we use it at the kitchen table when making art projects. i still use his high chair when eating since he does not resist sitting it in still. i think if i sat him in the booster seat i would have a mess on my floor :-) my son sits very well in this seat - he is 2 1/2 years old, weighs 28 pounds, and (I'm not totally sure on his height) is a little short for his age. i feel that this booster seat will last at least 2 more years for him. fyi...i saw this exact seat at Walmart the other day for just over $10.

Hey MCY. Responding to your qustion about your machine not indicating to change cube after daily use after 17 months sound normal, in my opinion NO. Obviously I like the Vitalizer Plus machines because I only recently purchased a second one and could possibly experience the same problem with it, however, my first such machine was on its' third cube when it went junk, never missing a beat with the CC apearing across the screen when time to change the cube. Should it be me I would follow the suggestion given in the post below and change the cube.

I used it on my belly only for 2 pregnancies and I am stretch mark free completely! I am now 11 weeks pregnant with baby #3 and am using this lotion again on my belly, as well as thighs and lower back. I'm expecting the same results as before.

Christopher, I would liken this treadmill at just slightly less than the ones I used to use at the County Recreation Center. I am 5'9 and 200 and have been using this thing to walk 4 miles per day at 15 minute miles five days a week. I keep the belt lubricated with silicone like the manual says and have had zero problems with it. Everything works today the same as it has for the past two years. This has been a quality piece of equipment that is built very well. I can't see that you would have a problem with it at all. Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact me if you have anymore.

90 days. You can call the manufacturer and request it, if you get the product and don't see it. Ours is 9 months old now, and no problems, and a "load" of kids (usually 80 lbs. or less) have used it repeatedly. Really only 2 adults - parents, one abt. 200 lbs. the other abt. 170 lbs. have used it - some. Again, no problems, and still going strong.

I wonder if people are not using it correctly. The "Sleep therapy" mode is meant to change to white noise after time. You can put it on the sound mode without it turning to white noise if that is what you prefer. Read the directions people! I have not had any issues with the volume randomly reducing and really almost didn't buy this given the bad reviews. I love this machine and so does my husband. Try it before you decide it needs improvements!!!!

Hellow R. Dowling, I have asked the same question myself and have never got an answer. I just make sure that it's not in any area that's available to children. Treat it as any household cleaner.

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.

All I can tell you is that I wish I had access to a Bowflex when I was 20. Dealing with weights is noisy and dangerous. I used a first generation Bowflex for more than 15 years as a "maintainer". My sons have their own and would support my saying. It is complete even for Abdominals. I decided to replace it - not it was needed- and for one 3rd of the price of my first one I got more. My Blowflex is in my screen porch all year long . It did not suffer being outside.

Got it when my daughter was 3 and my son was 5 years old. They are now 5 and 7 and still use it all the time. My sister who is 23 years old (about 115 lbs) uses it when she comes over.

I agree with many others. With my first child, the swing stopped reliably working around 16lbs. It would slow down and stop if his weight was at all unbalanced in the swing, so we packed it up. We now have a 13lb. baby and I'm already seeing it stop sometimes. I can usually restart it by turning it off and then back on again, but I think it highly unlikely that a baby over 20lbs. could use it for long!

This machine is very slow compared to your average full sized machine.as far as age goes, parental judgment I think. If the child knows it can hurt them if they put their finger under the needle then I think they are old enough. However, I wouldn't let a toddler use it. I would let a school agEd child use it under supervision.

I stopped using it after my baby started walking because she hated being held in place at that point...she'd rather be exploring. I don't see why it'd be unsafe until they could pull themselves up and try to get out.

I read one recipe that said they had, but the directions say you shouldn't. I read somewhere else where they said why you shouldn't and it made sense. Haven't tried it and won't. It is a good little machine, don't want to ruin it. Get the wondermil if you want to sprout.

It was super uncomfortable right after birth so I didn't use it much right away anyway. I've heard people have the best results when they use something right away. I thought thus worked well regardless if when you start.

I only used formula with it. It always worked fine. After about 3 or 4 weeks it is time for a new one. But it is intended for a one time use, so 3 or 4 weeks of use is not too bad. My baby used it all the entire time she was breastfeeding.
