Looking for something to support my bad back while sitting on the floor playing with my 1 yr old daughter. Would this provide enough support?

I use this to sit on the floor and play with my dogs. I find it very supportive for my back.

I am pleased with the firmness of the back, it's adjustable too, and the support it gives me. I have only used it on gym bleacher seats so far and have been grateful by the end of the tournament that I had it. I would not be able to answer for you on how much support you would need but I would recommend this chair!!

I used the seat for a stadium seat at ball games, but the back is adjustable and I believe it would give you support.....

Yes, very firm and strong support. My wife uses hers for computer work sitting in bed.

I also have a bad back, which is why I bought this chair. I'm not sure how severe your situation is, but I found that the chair is durable enough for the price and has different degrees of incline which you can manually adjust the back to. All in all I think this chair is a good option for back pain.

The back support is decent if you're just sitting, not great if you're more active though. The chair takes up some space when stowed. I personally wouldn't want to tuck it into a corner of the living room because it's not compact enough but you might have more space than I do. I don't see it as a "daily use" kind of thing. Great for dragging to the park once every couple of weeks but not great for dragging around daily.

Absolutely! This low chair is super safe and the only thing about being on the floor would be tipping over if there was a great force like a pet or another child. It would be safe especially with an adult sitting next to child in the chair. Oh, and because it has the options of three tabletops it is ideal for playing before the child independently is sitting! It's a great product, we love it; mostly for getting our family dinner established young even though our little one is just beginning to eat solids. He sits with us at the table most evenings.

Not a good idea for a bad back. Shocks are not comfortable and it needs some regular hard working maintenance. Good luck.

It seems pretty sturdy. Anything under 200 lbs would barely make an impression my daughter and I sometimes sit on it at the same time (220 or so) and it doesn't seem any worse for wear.

The back seems fairly supportive. I lean back on it...but not with all my body weight. I sit normally and am comfortable. As for the stability of the chair...the hooks are best. But... I have used it without the hooks to try it out. The bottom is rubberized so it stays fairly stationary. If you are a wiggle worm you might end up on the floor. If you sit normally you should be comfortable and stay put!

If she is not having to lift it I would say it would be fine for her. It isn't super heavy but it is awkward. We have found that slipping the foot rests off helps. It rolls well and the seat could use some more padding, but a memory foam type cushion works well in the one we bought my dad. The 16" width fits easily through most doors.

I think that this would be fine to use for an older child. I sit and stand on it often and I am 120 lbs.

Not a lot of support for the lower back. On another issue, the hydraulic lift has failed within a month. If you are over 200 lbs look at a different chair.

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).

Yes, it gives very good back support. I chose this style rather than a 'regular' one for that very reason and I am very pleased with it.

I don't know how much weight it would support. I only weigh 123 lbs. I did send the cushion back as it was too hard a compression for me to sit on. I personally needed a softer cushion.

I checked and I could sit on it. It wasn't real comfortable but probably fine for a child. This was a great investment for me. I'm very pleased with it.

I haven't sat on it. I keep my grandsons' toys in it. I'm not sure if it would be strong enough to be sat on. Someone that doesn't weight much would do ok, but anyone that is heavy, I wouldn't suggest it.

Very comfortable. My kids love them, I make sure to fluff it up before i sit on it, it great especially if you have a foot rest. It actually looks just the the picture. So to answer the question, it would feel good on a bad back but I'd recommend a foot rest for a taller adult.

It's certainly is strong enough to support a person. I weigh 250 pounds and I sat on it without fear that it would break.Actually due to the depth of the box the curved top makes it more comfortable to sit on.

Since the seat is wider than most it should provide more support. Not sure if this extra support helps a back problem. however.I would check with your doctor.

Sort of. I tested it before I allowed the kids to use it. I weigh around 175 lbs and it didn't seem to have any problems supporting me.
