Has anyone's child been able to get out of this independently? If so, with what ease/difficulty and how quickly? My 2 y.o. son is like MacGyver.

No my 2 yr old tried but could not get out independently. I had to take it off him

No mine hasn't, it's really not that easy. However I do think it's possible but it would not be quick. It's a good product and my daughter actually really loves putting on her back pack.

I can totally relate to the 2 yr old MacGyver, but no, mine could not independently get out because the snap is in the back where they can't reach. As long as you have the shoulder straps cinched up adequately then it's pretty wriggle-out proof. =) Hope that helps you!

I actually used it (supervised at first, of course) when my son was 10 months old. He started to understand how it worked overtime. He is 14 months now and does great on his own. I think the warning should be thought of as a suggestion in this case. Just make sure to look for small parts, but in this box the smallest part was about the size of a bouncy ball , so it wasn't too bad.

My son just turned four, and he went through this so fast we had to get the more difficult one. I think she will start slow, then catch on quickly to pointing out the same items, even if she can't say what they are. My kids have their own description of all the items, anyway...funny stuff. My advice is try it....I think you will be surprised how fast she will pick it up. Or, in just a few months try again. It is such a fun game to just hang out and play.

I would depend how computer savvy and independent this child is. MY 6 1/2 yr old (at the time) grandson figured it out on his own--but it took a while, and he is pretty smart. But once he got going, there was no stopping him. He loves it.

I'd say from when they can hold their heads up to about one year. Our baby is about 9 months and it is becoming difficult to get him out because of the length of his legs.

Yes, I have now taken it off completely since my girl is going to be 5. It is not hard to take on and off.

My son is 6 months and he has an easy time going backwards thus far. We havnt grasped the concept of going forward but the wheels and directionals on the wheels are pretty easy even when i push him into another room. Hes not very entertained by the console, so i normally have to give him other toys to keep his attention.

Hi there ,well, to be honest, i am heavy and my kids like to jump or play on the sofa.So the result was that we broke the main part. My husband tried to fix it.didn't work out.we kept a corner but it's not worth it.

Unfortunately the necklace is not easy to latch or remove. This was something that annoyed us about the product, but at least you don't have to worry about the child being able to remove it on her/his own.

It is not difficult to pull back. Both your kids should have no problem! My boys love this!

Right, I've had that problem too. I think it has something to do with the smaller straps that hold those gray chest pads (forget what Britax calls them - HUGS pads?). I just pull the strap release (accessed through a slit in the seat cover near where the lower strap comes out between the child's legs), grasp the black clip that holds the 2 shoulder straps together across the child's chest, and pull that clip upwards until it moves no further. That's usually enough slack in our case to get our kid out easily. It does seem to run up against those little HUGS pad straps though.

I would say it is not easy. Not super difficult but not easy. if you can pull yourself out of a pool without a ladder or step then you can do it.

My 3 year old son has just perfected removing them by himself. My 4 year old daughter, however, has not figured it out. I've never tried to remove it (my son has always removed it when I didn't want for him to!), but since he's able to remove them, I would say that they would likely be easy for you to remove as well. ;)

Yes, my Grandchild can get off by himself. However he is tall for his age a smaller child might have some difficulty.

My daughter is 20mo & 34in tall and can't climb out of it although her head does pop out. It has nothing for them to put their feet on to push themselves up. It does have a side window that opens completely if you want to let them get in and out in their own. The side panels are soft and slanted so I would guess it would be difficult.

it's not easy to yank out. But I'm not sure I would trust it with a two year old.

The seat comes up some even when the child is belted in. If the child stands on the u bars that hold the chair to the table they can push up some. If your child is one who likes to escape and tries a lot to get out of their chair, one that attaches to a chair with a tray may be a better option for you. I love this one, and if you don't leave your child alone in it I don't think it would be a problem even with one who likes to climb out, unless they can undo the straps.
