I have a preemie grandson who is now a week shy of being 8 months old that at his last check-up he weighed in at 12 pounds 13 ounces and was 22 ¾ long. I think a walker would be good for him. Looked at this one and thought it was very nice. My concern is if it will adjust enough so that he can use it now. Does anybody know if he would be able to use now?

My answer to you is to go in store and look for a lighter walker. My daughter was about 20 pounds when we got this piece. Though it has so much fun to it, she was not able to move in it at all. The lowest it will go was more like she was kneeling down. The middle adjustment, was to high, in addition to our carpeting floor, it was just impossible for her to move around. I just think that it's truly too heavy for children and that's just my opinion. Your grandkid being premie you have to be extra careful with what you offer him. Good luck finding his walker!

Its 8 inches from the bottom of the seat of the lowest setting. Measure his inseam and that will let you know if he can reach. He does need to have pretty strong back muscles to maneuver around though.

My son was two months premature. We bought him this walker when he was probably three or four months old. He has always been on the short side (even now at 13 months old) and this walker worked perfectly for him until he started being able to climb out of it at 11 months old. The lowest setting is pretty short. There are 3 height settings -- if I remember correctly. My son was probably around 22-24 inches when we started putting him in this.

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!

The manufacturer specs say it should not be used for a child over 37 lbs. Our granddaughter is very big for her age, is now ten months old and doing fine in it. It secures very well to the table and when screwed in tight it's extremely solid (BTW, manufacturer states table should be solid, stable and from .8" to 3.3" thick). One quirk: Italians must loosen and tighten screws etc. the opposite of us. You turn the hook on chair arms to the left to tighten, right to loosen. This chair is very portable, easy to clean. Our own sons were raised in high chairs. This takes up less room and can easily be taken anywhere. I highly recommend this chair.

Hello there! Our "little" man is 3.5 months, 25" and 18 pounds. We use the RNP and aren't sure how much longer we will be able to use it. It only goes up to 25 pounds, but your child could outgrow it for length. We still have some head room, but we are thinking he will have transition by the end of August as we use this for his primary sleeping space due to acid reflux. So, you might be cutting it close if you decided to get it. Also, it travels VERY easily! We have taken it on many trips. It breaks down into a few pieces and could fit into a large suitcase. Have you looked at using a peapod?? KidCo PeaPod Portable Travel Bed with Air Pump - Red In any case, have a great time on your trip!

Lol! I hadn't noticed but I feel like my baby was completely safe when she was smaller. She is 14 months now and I have been using it since she was 9 months about 3 days a week. She can climb out of it now and it tips so maybe that's why? Sorry I couldn't be more help.

We used this from the moment our baby came home from the hospital until about 7 months old. It is good for up to 25 pounds. Our baby was not too heavy, but started to crawl out of it at 7 months.

I would be hesitant to answer a question as to whether this walker would be appropriate for an 80 lb 4'10" frail woman, as I am not a nurse or doctor. It would depend..not because I don't think it's a strong and good quality walker, but because I don't know the person using it. Is she able to use the brakes? Does she lean forward when she walks? Etc. etc. For many frail people, healthcare providers suggest a regular walker..with wheels in the front but not in the back..because they feel it provides more stability. With wheeled walkers, if someone is not strong enough or aware enough, a wheeled walker can propel them forward and have them lose their balance. I would talk to her doctor before you purchase.

I don't have the stroller here right now (got taken and left at Grandma's!) but my daughter was 36 inches at 2 years old and it was great for her, and she still uses it at 3.5 years and counting. My 15 month old uses it too, even though it's too tall for him still, but he makes it work and loves it. Even if it's a little on the tall side, it'll be in use for years I suspect.

I dressed Charlie in a preemie one piece footed sleeper and it did not fit him. A two piece footed preemie fit but was very snug and the cap fit but was to small for his head. I dress Charlie in a two piece footed outfit size 0-3 months (8-12 lbs); in this case the pants band is extremely loose but the top covers it. He fits in 5-8lb. pants and shirts.

I think for a good two more years, I don't know what size she is but our grandson is 4 and weighs 70 lbs is is pretty tall he fits really good on this and I am sure he will for a long time the seat adjust and so does the handle bars so as he grows we can adjust those for he comfort.Its really nice because we can go on the street and I don't have to worry about him.

I think it would be too small. I used it for a 9 month old who was barely crawling, but would not use it for my 13 month old who is 22 pounds and running.

I have a five year old and a 2 1/2 yr old and although the weight isn't balanced I love this stroller; I haven't seen a better jogging stroller out there that would be a better fit for an older child. Height wise my 5 yr old is tall for her age but sitting up she still fits; lying down she usually curls up a little bit when she is sleeping but it still looks comfortable.

It is best for 18 month (if walking and steady) to possibly 7 or 8 depending on height/weight. The limits are 220, my husband can be on with my 2 1/2 year old son and it is fine.

This walker was too tall at the shortest setting for our grandson at 6 months to about 9 months.He is not a dwarf but is not a very big boy.Of course he is 2 now and running everywhere.

We have the GetGo Classic and it weighs 14 lbs. Weight was a big consideration when we were shopping for a walker. We have been very satisfied with our purchase and would get the same one if we were in the market for another.

Hi! I actually had the Bjorn initially but returned it because I found that it was hard to carry my 8 lb baby for a long period of time. The ergo (either 360 or original) I am able to carry my 17 lb baby for a long period of time without it hurting my shoulders. The 360 is nice because you can face the baby outward but then there's the issue with the Velcro (can stick to clothes, is very loud, etc) the original is nice because of the clip feature but the baby can only face inward. So it is up to you on which to get. But between the ergo and Bjorn, I would def go with ergo. :)

Yes, my now 8 month old has been using this walker since he was 5.5/6 months old. It moves easily, he sometimes runs over my feet if I'm not moving out of his way fast enough. The rear wheels are fixed, so it's not like some of the old school walkers, but that does not seem to hinder his movement. He enjoys being in the walker.
