At which age did you remove the seat? my 18-month old tried the seat, but was totally frustrated by not being able to turn without daddy's help!

Hi Claudia,Thank you for contacting us! In response to your inquiry, the age at which kiddos "graduate" from sitting to standing is very much dependent upon the kiddo's size and level of coordination. To illustrate, even if your 18-month-old is especially coordinated, he/she must first be tall enough to use the scooter in "stand up mode" prior to making the switch. Thus, while a precise answer is not available, we have found that by the time most kiddos reach age two (24 months), they are generally ready to make the switch. Please let us know if you have further questions: we have a toll-free telephone number, 888-236-5657, and are open Mon-Fri from 9am to 5pm Eastern Standard Time (EST).

We bought it for our 18-month old and never used the seat. It's the shorter O-bar that we were shooting for and still use. Our son is now 28 months and is still using the O-bar.

I really like the seat but for the first time this evening the harness got stuck. I had to remove the seat and reset the harness behind the seat. The harness is working once again and you can make the harness so snug that it will hold a 1 pound baby doll in place. Before returning the seat or doing anything like that check to see what local places (like the local police department will do this sometimes) will install a baby seat for you for free. They should also be able to help you with a problem like a harness that isn't working correctly.

Hi. My husband tried to lower the seat and decided you can't. I hope you can find out differently, but for now that's all we know.

From what my daughter-in-law says, my granddaughter (who is 18 months) has never been able to remove it. She has not ever really tried though. It's on there pretty tight for a child anyway.

Our seat broke in two as well. Now I'm trying to find a replacement seat. Belen Samper, did you ever find a replacement seat? If so, where and how much did it cost you? Thanks for any help.

Mine works finally when I remove one of the little wheels that keep popping out. I suggest that you call Bright Start. They sent me a return label to return just the fabric seat, then they sent me a newel model which I have not put together yet, and was told that the newer model should be easier to rotate. I was told to keep everything else (the one that I initially received), so on the worst scenerio, I will end up with a set of toy that has no seat, but still usable when your baby turns toddler and play with it, and another one in the box which I hope works. They have good customer service.

If you still have the old seat, it maybe a good idea to continue its use until he is 3 and you can communicate better with him... By three they understand not everything is for play. If you don't have the old seat, try using a regular man's belt as added security,

I have not had a problem with the kid seat at all. It comes off, which is good. But it's not like it comes off so easily that a kid sits on it and it comes off. I would defiantly recommend this seat, you'll be happy you did. Much easier to care for then the other options.

You have to work it slowly like I'm sure youve already tried. I Even slightly bent in a small bit of the side to get it to at least start. Then wiggle it around in a circle til it finally seats. Its a pain in the Butt. Sorry no great secret way.

I'm not too sure...my DD was very small when born and so I think she was about 6 (or so) months before she sat in the chair. If memory serves, we used a towel to give her more stability initially. The chair was one of her favorite places to be so I know she found it comfortable but I can't speak for all children.

I am not a child, but I do have the bicycle.. I am 5 ft 1 in and unable to ride an adult bike because my legs are very short due to rickets as a child. My balance is also not that good. My husband has my seat adjusted and replaced the original seat with one that was wider for more balance and comfort. Make sure you have the right air in the tires..it makes it much easier to pedal. She would have to be able to pull the brakes that are on the handle bar, but it has no gears and rides very smooth. I wish we lived close by so she could try mine. I think maybe she could master this bike. It has been a joy to me since I also cannot master a two wheeler. Good luck and God Bless.. I am not a child, but I do have the bicycle..

Bought this wagon for my Daughter and her then 1 yr old. He is now 16 months. I asked my daughter and she said that she thinks the seats are too high for it to be safe for the 10 month old, even buckled in. She would put the 10 month old down in the middle which goes down deep, and maybe surround him with a blanket.

My son was two when we got it for him and he couldnt reach The pedals so we put a cushion behind his back and he was able to ride it.

My baby is 8 months now. He is starting to crawl and lifting himself up by holding onto the bars, trying to cross over to our bed. So it's time to remove the bassinet! You will know when it gets dangerous for them :)

Since he's been born till now I've had him in unrestrained ( I have a blanket over the whole rocker for extra wet diapers and other messes for easy clean up which blocks the use of the belt. Around the age 4 months I started using the restraint during naps ( laying down when he was tired and having he fall asleep that way and a crib at night. It's still very/too deep for him to wiggle his way out but it really depends on the baby.

It depends on your child. My girl is a very small almost 2 year old and I predict that she can stay in this seat for at least another year. If your child is larger/taller you might not be able to use this seat for very long.

My kids are 2-1/2 and 4-1/2 they are my biggest one is able to buckle herself but not the little one. No they aren't able to get out on their own. I haven't teach them how. But if your daughter is 7 i am sure she could.
