Up to what age would you estimate this pad to continue to be useful for? My baby is 9 months already but impossible to change.

My baby has also gotten more and more difficult to change as she's gotten older (she is 10 months now). Unfortunately, she's been able to thrash free of the Velcro when the strap is used as a swaddle for quite a while. And if I simply use it around her waist she can undo it by hand. I don't find the swaddle strap useful for her as she rolls and scoots and arches. All that sometimes helps is giving her something distracting (like my phone or keys). In short, it's a fine changing pad, but has no magic for a larger baby who doesn't want to be changed.

The pad cuddles the baby and the wrap is quite comfortable. I don't see age to be a limitation. I have found that when the pad is placed on the floor (as I have done) and changing occurs there, it is much easier to distract a wiggler with various things to hold or watch and the problem seems to go away. Hope this helps.

My brother has a nine month old and they still use the PooPoose. I love being able to strap the baby while I'm changing her.

Totally depends on your baby! My son was 17 pounds at 3 months (98th %), so I'm sure he's a bit earlier than average. We is got this for him at 3 1/2 months and we started using it for short periods so he could get the standing up feeling and start learning the toys for cause and effect. Now, at 4 months, he loves to jump! We still have it on the setting that keeps him closest to the ground because he's average on height (25 inches now). His feet are almost flat, but the next setting is too high. In any case, we should be able to use this until he's walking, so many months of use. :)

I would say the same...till about a year old for an average sized child. My son is 7 months and it still works perfectly but he is smaller than average.

I wouldn't try training a 9 month old. It goes against all child development research. A nine month old could not keep his/her balance on this one. Two years should be the goal with toliet training-give or take a few months. I am a professional mental health counselor with more than 20 years of working with children and adults.

that is a great question Emily. My daughter turns 5 months this week and is using it however I don't know how long she can use it.she is rather tall for her age and I have not yet used the height adjustments available so I imagine she will be able to use this so she is at least 9 to 10 months at a minimum. If not longer!hope this helps!

My baby is 19lbs and 9mos old - I use it at every setting dependent on what he's doing - sleeping or playing. You can also select sit up or lay down position.

Hi, my son only used this for maybe 2 1/2 weeks. I'm not sure how long you plan on using it for, but please keep in mind that it didn't feel very sturdy. With my son now at 8 weeks, I know for sure that he would be too big. I ended up giving it away when my two year tipped it over..thank goodness I was able to catch it.

Assuming you mean 9 month old? And it's big enough but I don't really recommend it for that age. (Or at all to be honest)It's really best for newborns. It lays pretty flat on the floor so if you put your 9 month old baby in it they'll just sit in it like you put them on a bean bag... But can easily roll over. We gave ours away by 6 months as we didn't use it for the baby...My 3year old loved it and pretended she was a turtle :) watch out for the seams though- I returned mine and the second one also split (and little styrofoam beads spilled everywhere) so I sewed the second one. I don't really recommend these seats period.

Not really. I bought the ultra plush changing cover pad from Summer Infant and it does not sit well on the pad. It makes the pad look flat, but you can still put the baby and it stays in place. It just looks awkward.

You can continue to use this until your baby can sit up on their own without support. My son is 9 months (wearing size 12 months clothes) and still needs a little help when sitting on his own. I still use this bath support but watch him closely if he tries to roll over. This bath support is my most favorite purchase!

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 would give it a try. My son is a little over 8 months. People tend to think he is younger because he is on the smaller side. He is a very active sleeper so it doesnt work well at night anymore, he usually ends up beside it etc.. But, we still use it for diaper changes, hc, swing etc so he's not flat on his head.the part where his head would rest is about 7 inches across in the middle if that helps. If it doesn't work u could save for another baby or loan/give away but I would try it. We will use it as long as possible, I'm sure he appriciates the extra cushion:)

My 15 month old daughter still has hers on the shortest setting on the adjustable seat. So I think your son will get lots of use out of it. :)

Not sure since we use this as a changing pad for baby and toddler. It is absorbent, soft, and large wnough for the job. I'd give it a try and if not you're not wasting money because it is a great pad.

We had our son in it at three months but I think it's safe to say that as soon as the baby can stabilize his/her neck you good. Newborns(depending on the size) probably won't work as well. Plus my son used it past the 25lb limit and did just fine:)

I'm currently using this with my newborn. And depending on the size of your baby and how they grow, I would assume you'd be able to use this until about 6-9 months.
