I have 2 of these. One for a 4 and one for a 6 year old. Car safety seats are not based on ages. They are based on height and weight of the passengers and belt placement across the passengers chest. Look up the manufacturer's website and it will explain it to you... I hope this helps...

I bought this for my grandson who is 4. The back adjusts for different heights and my grandson is on the short side.

It really depends on the childs height. We started using it when our granddaughter was 3 years old and she was much more comfortable riding. Her legs were not pushing into the back of the front seat and she could move around a little more easily. For us her weight had increased, as it should, and it was much easier for her to climb into the carseat on her own and we can then buckle her in. She is now 4+ and can almost buckle herself in. It has been a great seat for us and her.

Our daughter was almost 5 years old when we switched her to this car seat. The seat is great.

Really depends on your child's weight and size. 3 is probably too small and would need a convertible type toddler seat. We used a 'Safety First' convertible seat with side head protection until our son was solidly over 40 pounds. That wasn't until sometime after he turned 4 and was having trouble fitting the convertible. Need to check the local laws where you live for restrictions, as well. This seat has a belt keeper strap for shorter kids, if your vehicle doesn't already come equipped with one. Belt placement across the chest is very important.

Like someone else have state, your would need a convertible carseat to keep your child rear-facing for atleast 2yrs if not longer. This seat is great for older kids.

We gave the Little Tikes Cozy Truck to our grandson for his 2nd birthday. We are hoping he can use it for many years. His head isn't even close to touching the roof and his feet can't touch the ground yet so the floor board is still in. I'm guessing a 3 year old would fit in it just fine at least until he is 4 or 5 depending on his growth rate.

My granddaughter is 3' and she's fine. It's a larger vehicle - I got it bc it had the longest age range for getting a lot of use. It's a big hit!! It has to be put together, which I didn't realize. Thankfully, my son is super dad. Good luck!

i bought it for my one year old niece and my two year old nephew loves it. he is on the small side and he can sit on it-it might be big enough for your three year old.

I would think its too big for a 3 year old. We bought for a 5 year old and we had to adjust the seat and handlebars all the way down. I would start with a 12 or 14

Hi, my son is 3 years and a half and he still fits comfortable there. This was originally his chair and is now his sisters, what I'm trying to say here is that it is also a very good quality product.

My daughter is very tall also, 100% for her age group. At 18 months and 35inches, she is at the next to the top shoulder strap. The manufacturer recommends turning it forward facing when they reach the top strap holder. I just asked our pediatrician at our 18 month check up what we should do when she reaches that point as I am sure it will be soon, and before she is 2 which is the law in CA. His response was to turn her around when she reaches the top strap even if it is before age 2 as she will then be big enough. That being said we bought this carseat for traveling. It is the smallest and lightest carseat we could find. She seems very comfortable in it. The bottom strap to attach it via car latches does not adjust on both sides which makes getting a perfectly tight fit impossible. It has good safety ratings but in comparison to the Britax carseat we use for every day, it really doesn't seem as safe or tighly secured in the car. Hope this helps.

The front of the Instruction manual says age 3 or over, 30-100 pounds, 38-57 inches. There are car seat safety guidelines on different websites (highway patrol,consumer reports, etc) and car seats are still believed to be safer. We waited to switch over until our son was 40 pounds, over 40 inches and almost 4 years old. We are pleased with the booster and it is easy to use.

The seat is made for a maximum of 45 lbs. and/or 40 inches in height.That would make them approximately 4 years old depending on the size of your child.

I think this would be too small for 3 yr old...I have a friend who used it perfectly for her 18mo old...I definitely would NOT get it for a 4 yr old!

62 inches tall. I'm sure your child will not need a carseat when they are 5 feet 2 inches tall, so this should be the last seat u ever buy.

The restrictions don't go by age, they go by weight. This car seat is made for babies from 5 to 22 pounds.

It's 2016 (got it in fall of 2012). I remember thinking that I could still get some use out of it with #2 as he got bigger. Great carseat!

You don't put a carseat in it. The child should be able to sit with support (4-6 months) before using this stroller.

Yes. It is a two seater. I would recommend not to let your 4 year old drive the car in high speed gear with a young passenger like your 17 month old. Any sudden turn or cornering at full speed will catch the passenger off guard....door may pop open(since there is no door lock) and injuries may result. Whenever there is a passenger, I tell my kid to drive in low gear.

I would say no, unfortunately. It is a tiny car and really designed for 3-4 year olds. My kids grew out of them quickly, but they did enjoy them while they could. I transitioned them from the car to a radio flyer big wheel, the one with the low seat and the really large front wheel. They LOVED IT! and fit in it up until 2nd grade.
