This was somewhat a gray purchase. I say somewhat because it’s smaller than I expected, yet, it still works. Only thing is different from the large is, there are NOT adjustable straps for the back & it’s good size for 5 year old to 7 years old. BUT… the awesome things is, it can hold up to 160lbs. STRONG! No seriously! It does! Although I suggest NOT letting anyone of that weight to use it for themselves. I CAN eventually give and break. So, get the large chair if you can. Lol!
But I had it set up for my little ones who are 8 & 13. When they came home they sat in it and loved it! (Probably cause it swings. Lol!) But it was a bit small for them. ESPECIALLY my 13 year old. As HUGE as the large adult one is, I didn’t expect this one to be so small. I assumed it would be at least 3-4 feet high. But it was more like 2 ft. I think my 2 year old granddaughter would fit in it perfectly. BUT, I wouldn’t suggest letting toddlers use this unless they were well coordinated. Only because it’s not stable for little ones who’s still working on their balance. Otherwise, as long as they can SIT in it WITHOUT HELP, I think it’s perfect!
Funny thing is… although my 8 year old seems a bit tall for this chair, she sits in it VERY COMFORTABLY. Her friends even enjoy sitting in it too. But, as i said earlier… it’s probably because of the whole swinging thing.
I, myself sit in it from time to time. But I’m quite petite compared to most adults. 5’ 1” @ I’d like to say 125 but realistically im around 150. COVID is my excuse for such weight gain. Heehee!
My husband, on the other hand, is extremely larger than I am could sit in it too. But I’m sure he’ll break it eventually. He’s not obese, but he is MUCH taller and a bit on the broad muscle builder type. 5’ 11” to 6’ 1” (on a good day-haha) @ 230. So, if he could sit in it for a moments time, the durability on this brand or item is worth the cost. THAT’S my point!
Oh and the backseat isn’t as high, so as an adult, sitting back is quite uncomfortable. You can’t really relax fully in this chair. But as a child, they can! It’s like a one-seater hammock for them.
But this is something worth looking into for families who has little kids, NOT SPECIFICALLY TODDLERS or babies, more for 5 year olds and up. (Depending on height and coordination) Especially for those who’s always on the go with outdoor activities.
