Does anyone know if this product has a recommended weight range? My son is 2.5, but he is 35 lbs./37" tall &amp; I'm not sure if this will work for him.

My daughter is also 2.5, 36 lbs and the same height, and as my review stated this product gave her a horrible front and back wedgie. Not sure if this is an issue for boys but I would think it might be. We did let out all the "slack" in the strap between the legs but that did not alleviate the wedgie at all. Hope this info is helpful.

He might be for this item. My 2.5 yr is close to the height and we got this for him last year when he was just under 32". My son still plays with this even though he no longer uses the sides to rest his feet. He enjoys the music and horse sound it makes when he rides. I prefer this size for now since I know he won't "fall" off it like the taller horse.

I believe the product is made for children starting at 30 lbs, so I would use with caution. You could get it and see how snugly it fits to be sure. If it's too big you could just wait several months and try it again.

Yes, I still carry my 35lb, three year old on my back. She still loves it. I know she will be too heavy soon, but I will still carry her until she no longer wants to be on my back!!

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.

I got this seat for my son at 1 years old. He was 23 lbs and 32" your child is at min weight but he may not be ready to sit in this seat. In my opinion he's very young. Plus I think he still needs to face the back of the car. If you like this kind of seat I would get one with the recliner feature. So he sits a bit craddled. I would do a bit more research.

My 2yr old boy is 37.5 in tall and his head now barely fits under the canopy, when it is used. If not using the canopy, it might still work for you. I would focus on what the company states as the appropriate age/size, though.

My daughter is a tiny 2.5 yo at 34" and under thirty pounds and it works fine for her when she wants to use it any more. She started with this when she was around 20 months old. She is now 32 months old and uses the big potty primarily now.

I put my 35-38 pound 4 year old in it on my back, and it was great!! You can wear it three ways so you can use it whichever way you and your son like best!! He will not outgrow it for a long time! Awesome carrier!

It will likely fit around him, but will be very short. It fits my 32 lb 3.5 year old perfectly. I would suggest moving up a size, but looking for one with the strap between the legs so it doesn't ride up much. Those will be more expensive, though. It also depends what you are using it for and how likely it is that he will need it.

I used it for my son who was 7mths old at the time and it was perfect he too was small. It should be fine. It is for up to 30lbs

My son will be 2 in 3 wks and he's average size I think. We are on the widest setting bc he still has a belly. The rise is excellent though. So if your kiddo is tall and 38 lbs, I bet it would be fine. Either way, you can just put a cover over it and that should hold the fitted in position

I think you will find that the vest is too big for her. My 3 year old is 33 pounds and 39" tall. It's a little big on him and I will not use it at this point for him but think in 6 months it would be ok for occasional use. Out of curiosity, I tried it on my 64 pound, 52" tall 7.5y. Although he's passed the weight limit (I wouldn't use it for him), it still fit. I would not attempt it on a child so young unless you would otherwise go without a car seat as I'm sure it's better than nothing. I suggest the Diono Radian, it's a great foldable car seat with high safety ratings. Get the simple one without all the extra supports, we use that for travel for our 3y old.

My 2 1/2 year old who is 36 inches fits fine now. I walk with both kids , the weight doesn't really seem to make a difference 30lb and a 22lb 17 month old. A 40 inch child may have a year in it. I don't mind pushing down on the handles to turn around a corner but am usually walking not running. Great double jogger!!!

Our grandson is 2 and 35". He fits great with lots of room to spare, and usually has two smallish dogs in there with him. I think it would still be comfortable to a five year old at your suggested weight and height. Kids usually curl up in bean bag style furniture anyway, so weight and height might not be that much of an issue.

my son is 5 years old and 37 pounds and this fits in perfectly as well. Hope that helps

My two and a half year old son who is very tall for his age (90th percentile) is still fitting in fine, but I suspect he will outgrow it in not too distant future. It really is an amazing buggy though and we sure will be using when we have our next one.
