Has anyone used this seat for a 2 year old who is about 25 lbs.? Will he be lost in this seat? Would the Performance Ride be better? My husband wants this one because it will last longer.

Eric - I have a 2 year old daughter that weighs under 25 lbs. she has been in the seat for a while. It has a pad that hold the little ones in. It is a great seat to have for a long time.

Hi there. I have used it for my 2yr old since he was around 25 pounds and it worked fine. The seat comes with an extra lining/padding for the seat, intended for keeping the child firmly in place which I used for like 2 weeks and never needed it again.Alternatively look at the britax marathon or whatever the newer version is called. It will not last that long buy then again whenever you need a booster, these are pretty inexpensive. Hope this helps. Best

Our 2 1/2 year old fits great, same weight. He has been in it for months now. Our 7 year old used a Recaro as well. Best seat on the market in my opinion. Good luck!

I'm not really sure about the weight limit but my friends larger 2 year old sat in it and it was almost too small. My son has been in it since he was 6 months and he is 24 lbs and he still fits great...

I have the Performance Sport and love it. I believe the difference is that the Performance Sport has a 5 point harness to secure the child starting at 20 pounds and can go up to 65 pounds. Once they reach that weight limit you use the vehicle seat belt to secure them in the seat. The Performance Booster does not have a 5 point harness. The child must be 30 lbs to start using this seat and is only secured by the vehicle seat belt. So, it would depend on the age/size of your child and whether or not you want them protected by a 5 point harness if he/she is still under 65 pounds. If they are already past that weight limit I guess the seats would work the same. I have the Performance Sport and love it.

Yes, my kiddo has been in this seat for sometime, spanning that 2-3 year age and exactly that weight. It fits him perfectly, and he really likes the cup holders that fit both a round sippy cup and a rectangular juice box. Overall, it is an excellent seat. It is sturdy, safe, and easy to transfer from one car to another.

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.

YES! Mine is 28 lbs at 2.5 and this is the most secure seat we found. It can tighten in the back so it really fits snuggly and doesn't move around and it's not flimsy feeling. We have tried other seats but they never fit so snug. My daughter will only go on this one!

I still have my 2 year old in it at the tightest setting. He is 70th percentile in weight. My 4 year old can still fit too. I tested him out to make sure the chair would work long term

This is toddler size, yes. It will probably hold up to 50 lbs easily even though your toddler will probably outgrow it by 35 lbs. It's a very sturdy seat with strong rope if you attach it correctly.

My two year old still uses all the padding she is also still rear facing. However I will have to remove it at some point to allow her to sit lower in the seat once she gets bigger. she is 31lbs 22 months and is 39in tall We have had this seat since she was born we love it. It does look like it sits high up when rear facing too. Hope that helps

My 10 month old chubby monkey Grandson still fits in it nicely but has to be strapped into the "seat belt" because he constantly wants to roll over. I think he might have another 6 months in it tops. So I'd say no for a anything over 18 months.

My son is 8mo's old and is 25.5lbs and 31" tall and fits wonderfully with lots of room to grow. I have the seat in my Lexus GX470 and it takes up less room than the infant seat. I am more than glad to send you pics if you need!

Weight would hold! I am 135 and it goes with me in it! My hubby even rode it at 200lb. It is slower with him in it! With that said we bought it for our 6 year old. I would assume it may be juvenile for much older than 9-10? They will for sure be long for it! Meaning that their legs will be very bent!

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.

It's a fairly high quality seat. How long are we talking? I get uncomfortable on real long rides in my leather seats... Your kid will be fine!

I purchased this seat for my 3 year old daughter (she's tiny only 25 lbs) but my 15 month old has used it before. I would say it would be suitable for a child that has been sitting up unassisted for a while...maybe 12+ months. Not sure what the manufacturer recommends.

The front seat is not so good for bigger kids. I have a 5 yr old that is 45 lbs+ and he fits perfectly in the back seat. There is a zipper at the bottom of that seat that will open a pouch for their feet. We have taken this stroller to Disneyland and It is perfect! I love it! People don't even realize there is a 2nd kid back there.

My 7 year old (48 inches, 50 pounds) still has plenty of room to grow. I'm about to buy another one, though it seems silly, but he doesn't sit correctly in boosters and at the rate he's going (slow gainer) I think it'll be another couple of years before he's 65 pounds. He likes this seat a lot.
