Hi, how old can the kid sit on car seat? I know it's rated 70 pounds, but would like to know your experience. My son is 3 years old and 35 pounds.

Forward-facing they can stay in this car seat until your child is 49 inches tall (which they usually outgrow height before weight). I would keep my child in it until they reach that height then move on to a 5-point harness booster when they are about 5 years old.

Hi im sorry to late response.I think that its possible that you can use it for your baby.When you get this, you feel its very huge and safe. My baby was new born just 50days ago. So sometime i think its so big for my new baby but your kid is not. So its suitable for your kid's case and you can adjust the size to fit it.I would like to say you connect to Britax website and see the manual.Its helpful for you to decide to get or not.Thank you^^

Hi there! My son is 11 months old, 23 pounds and 29 inches and we purchased the seat just last month for him. My son is still an infant and I was worried that the seat was going to be too big for him. I was worried he was going to slip through the seat belts (so not the case). This car seat is AMAZING!!! I purchased the seat because I loved the fact that it has an extra side protection that reduces trauma by 50% ( I read that somewhere-I did a alot of research). That caught my attention and of course the majority of the reviews have been positive. I recommend this car seat to ANYONE who is looking for a safe and durable car seat. Yes, it's a little on the pricey side but it is well worth it. I believe that you will not go wrong purchasing this seat for your son regardless of his height and weight. Your son is the perfect age and weight for this car seat. If you are still not sure like I was, I made it appoint to contact a certified car seat specialist in my area (some are free others are just accept donations). They are there are there to educate you about the car seat. These specialist are always up to date with current and the most latest trends when it comes to car seats...you have my word, you will not go wrong with this car seat. When you have your son sitting in the seat and riding around in the car, you will feel safe knowing he's sitting in a well equiped car seat.. =D

I have this travel system in a different pattern. Mine is the 22. According to the title it says 30 but if you read te features section it says 22. So I am assuming you get the 22 with this one also. Which means it can hold up to a 22 pound child versus 30 pounds. However, my son currently weighs 14.5 pounds and I can tell you there is no way I would keep him in this seat until 30 pounds!

I think the min weight limit is about 35 pounds. I think a 20 pound baby would be too small for this car seat based on my grandson being 36 pounds and it fits him good with room to grow

Eric - I have a 2 year old daughter that weighs under 25 lbs. she has been in the seat for a while. It has a pad that hold the little ones in. It is a great seat to have for a long time.

I did not use this from the beginning with my son's potty training. I do know he is 4 years old now, and he's still potty-training. He was getting too big for the seats in the stores. He does like this seat and will sit on it. I've been told you can use it for younger ages (1 1/2 or 2 year-olds), as well. I hope this helps!

I started using it with my 10 month-old. She could easily sit on it unassisted. Of course I stayed right by her just in case. My friends with 2 and 3 year olds use it too. Wide age range :)

I would use a convertible so you can keep your child rear facing. I had my 3 1/2 year old, rear facing, in a convertible car seat (not infant). She was in the convertible (I had to finally turn her front facing though) until she was 5 and nearly 40 pounds. Don't go with the "popular" conversation. Go with safe. Do research. Keep your kid rear facing as long as you can.

My granddaughter is seven, and she loves this thing, but as for what age it is designed for, I really can't tell. I think it is more based on the weight of the rider. The C3 is designed for up to 200 pounds, yet my 50 pound granddaughter has no trouble handling it.

I heard from a friend that the weight limit is 80 lbs, but not sure. I know that the seat is adjustable to accommodate different heights,and as kids grow. I think 8 yrs old is the upper limit so possibly go by average weight/height for an 8 yr old, else check with Radio Flyer.

My 2.5 year old sits very comfortably with the car seat in place (she is petite though). She especially loves bring able to see (and poke...) the baby as they are facing each other. This has not been an issue at allfor us.

I was under the impression that bob was okay to use, without car seat, starting at 3 months. I started at that age with my both my kids and have had no problems with support.

I think it depends on how big your baby is. My 4 month old is 18 lbs., so we use this in our Uppababy regular seat for him and he is very comfortable. He was a little cramped in the carseat with adapter set-up. My daughter was 11 lbs at 3 months and didn't need more room until she was older and could sit up by herself pretty well. So, I'd say wait until you know what size baby you have.

I think it depends on how old/big your toddler is? I have a 16 month old and she has no problem in the too seat. It's at a slight recline so she has lots of personal space. I have also had my friend's 3 year old sit in the seat with no issues.

Depends on how your toddler is. I started using it with my son at 23 months. The decision didn't have to do with age or weight, it was just his age when we first purchased him his own seat. I wouldn't hesitate to use it for my daughter who is currently 20 months. I don't know her weight, but it's about the same as your child. I find this much easier to use than lugging a car seat through the airport. It's guaranteed to fit in the plane seat, which isn't always true for regular car seats. One warning, you have to distract the child from the plane belt buckle. At first, they want to keep undoing the seatbelt. My son got over it rather quickly (or I flipped the buckle so he couldn't lift the flap).

My 9 year old and his friends play with it a lot...I would have been hesitant to let him play with it at 2 as the cars go really fast and the potential for him getting hit by a car is fairly good. If you do, I would sit with him the whole time.

The more important thing is the stage your child is at. Can they sit up on their own, and are they under the recommended weight limit per seat (I think it was 35 pounds but not 100% sure)? My twin boys started using this at about 5.5 months. So it is more making sure your child is ready and about to sit in a regular seat (though it can recline as well); they should be able to support their own head/neck and sit without much help before this.

The seat is very wide, my baby is 7 months and still doesn't fill the seat in. When my baby was too short for the bottom we put a pillow under until her legs got a little longer. We didn't buy or start using it until she was at least six months and even now we limit it to 15 minutes max. I personally wouldn't put a 3 month old in it because they have a tough time controlling their body unsupported, not sure what the product recommends for age.
