I have a 13 year old special needs boy. He can roll over and sit up but can't crawl or walk. I want something really comfy to lay on.Is this worth it?

We absolutely love this pad! We utilize it in our special needs Sunday school room for children ages 3-10. The children love just getting on top and sitting or laying to read books or just move around. The also love to just fall on it. It is fluffy and sits just over 1ft high because of the foam. Being 13 years old he may be a little big on this if he can't crawl. The likelihood of him rolling off is good. Even if it is against a wall, there is the chance he could roll off between the pad and the wall and not be able to get out himself. This is a true 5'x5' pad so it is a great size. It would be very comfortable. We absolutely love this pad! We utilize it in our special needs Sunday school room for children ages 3-10.

My children all love to lay on it. It is lumpy and may give them some sensory input.

My boys love lounging on it. When we have a movie night, the grab blankets and lay in to watch. For my family, this has been worth every penny and then some.

I think the heavier the better. My son is very light, only about 100 pounds, and it skids around for him. We have found that the back rest is very uncomfortable. It makes his back hurt so he doesn't ride it much. The back wheels are not very gripping, so with his light weight, it tends to slide all over the ground.

It's comfortable but just just watch the back legs that it does not bend due to the screws. My son is 220 pounds and this chair can hold him but I noticed that because the back legs are screwed in individually, if you screw it in not at a 90 degree angle the legs will start to bend. The chair is kinda low to the ground but it can fit 2 teenagers. Hope that helps.

It should be fine for sitting, but he wont be able to move around a ton. If the fit is tight, you can deflate the pillow thing on the end (my daughter doesnt use it anyway).

I bought this for my 2 year old son to lounge in, and this weekend my 13 year old niece and 11 year old nephew fought over who got to use it. So yes, any kid can use it, and once in a while I'll lounge in it if I don't feel like sitting on the floor when playing with my son!

It's very comfy you learn how to wrap it quite easily. It's comfortable for you and baby. Good as a hip carrier however I stopped using mine at around 7 months of age for my daughter since she grew out of it. I'm sure it would be great for a toddler. I don't recommend it as a back carrier though.

my son is 21 months, is 30 lbs and over 30 inches tall and still lays in it to relax and watch tv. I thought about getting the bigger one...but for $129 i just couldn't spend the money.

Well, it is not a lazy boy comfy chair. I bought it for my 83 yo mother and she really likes it. I found it sturdy, but it is comfy. It does run small. It's good for a petite lady or man.

It's firm but not stiff, my son isnt heavy enough to give it the "sinking" effect when laying on it, he is 24lbs 15 months and sleeps well on it, soft and cushy isn't good for their spines at this age so I opted to wait for the super "comfy" you can cover it with a nice fleece baby blanket & get a similar effect (I did this) hope I answered your concern.

I think your son is the right age for this bed. We loved it. We used it with both of our boys (we had two of them) and they were just 2 and 3. It's pretty comfortable.

Not big enough to lay down and stretch out, however, if you were to put cushions in to reduce the height of the side walls, I could imagine he would be okay. You might try measuring an area on the floor that same size as the trailer, and see how well he fits in it.

Hello hope all is well. I bought this for my then 15 month old boy. Now is 24 month old and still fit nicely. Only one thing with the front tray is to not use lot of clothing that can squish the legs. If is a big boy I suggest to not put the tray but to snack. Its not heavy and to fold it needs practice but in general it worth the price. Two position for child to sleep and canopy that doesnt bother him at all.

My 23#er isn't putting any stress on it. I think the problem that you would have is that at some point he will either be too snug in the seat or too tall to be contained in the seat (there are straps which will raise his butt up higher if his legs get long). It seems sturdy enough that 30# would not tear the seat out or cause the seat to break off of the grooves. If I'm wrong, you have a broken toy but probably a safe baby as he will only be at standing height. That said, my attorney advises that you decide for yourself what to do with your child. For me, this is a reliable 30 minutes of parental freedom and I intend to keep putting my kid in it so long as he fits and continues to enjoy it. My 23#er isn't putting any stress on it.

I bought it for my daughter when she was 6 months and I ended up giving it away. It wasn't comfortable for her to sleep in. My brother has it now for his older children and he loves it, but I wouldn't recommend for under 2years. Maybe it is my car seats? They could be more inclined

I wish I could be of more help in this matter. I bought the Trekker Chair for my 13-year-old grandson, a sturdy lad who does a lot of hiking with his parents in the Pacific Northwest, and who finds the Chair both useful and comfortable. I would suggest going to a store that sells outdoor recreation items, and trying one on.

The bed was for a 13 year old boy and it has stayed on the bed so far. There is a bit of a ridge on the sides. If you have a problem, you could put somestrips of velcro on bed slats and mattress. We have not had a problem with it tho.

I think it really depends on how much he weighs. My son is eleven and weighs 155 lbs. The chair held up but the hinge for the back of the seat has broken and the spot where you put your bottom has also collapsed. He is a big boy and tough on stuff. If gently used and reinforce the seat I think it may work for him. Has great sound. and a cool cubby to store stuff. I looked and you can reinforce the seat. But you may have to be a little crafty. Hope this helps.
