I want to get this for a friends special needs child. It looks like it would be much harder to fall out of than the others??

My two year old loves it. It holds them in pretty good. We help him in and out of it. I like it because it hasa back on it. And they can hold on good. He loves it.

Great for child over 5 that can hold on. Not good for 2 yr olx that has a tsndency to let go. A, so, not able to swing self, must be pushed. Kids do love it though.

No , I would make sure you had some kind of safety belt attached as they ( babies ) are apt to wiggle ! My daughter was stable and reasoned with enough by the age of 2 but before that I would use a safety belt

We have had our daughter in it since her 4th birthday without incident. Putting it in a corner is best. The storage section also acts as a guard for them not to tumble out. It really depends on your child but the unit is veryvsturdy and safe. We have never worried about her falling out

Yes, as per other answers. But it's not easy for many kids. No knee joints so legs tend to stick straight out. My grand kids don't mind.

My children are tiny 8 and 10 year olds and they are able to buckle and unbuckle themselves. My daughter is FAS impacted with a low IQ and she has no problem with this once we adjusted it to fit her.

I would say it depends on the age of the child perhaps not a 2 year old but a 3 and up child. with no back a smaller child could fall off.

It may be a bit small, but our opinion is based on our baby, who is in the 80th percentile for height. At the same time I don't think there are any bigger ones for this age bracket. Other than that we are quite happy with it and it feels solid and safe.

I guess that would depend on just how clumsy the child is. In other words, the tablet would stay in place, without fear of the Prop collapsing backwards, if all the child is doing is pressing on the screen to select options. However, if the child were to move the tablet much to the left or right, the Prop will not hold the tablet in place, and the tablet would (obviously) fall off.

This model would fall and shift, there is nothing to hold it in place except the child's carseat. Good luck finding something that works for you!

I think a child could put this together fairly easy. I work with special needs children and use this as a treatment activity for them to help me out it together. I give them very little help (the kids I use it with have difficulty using one arm)

Hi Angela, the only different is you don't really bounce back up if that makes sense. It has like huge firm foam pieces inside so its good for kids to run and fall or jump onto without getting hurt, but not good if you are looking for it to be like a trampoline. It's more like just falling onto or rolling around on. Hope that helps, my son has Autism and he loves just running and falling onto it or jumping on top of it.

My grandson is not that size, but the seat seems completely stable. I suppose he could 'get off' of it, but I can't see any problem with him being able to fit in it? Frankly I would say that it is worth a try. It's not that expensive and if it doesn't work for you, give it to someone else. The first one that I bought didn't have any way to keep it on if the child should shift on it. This one stays 'put.' Good luck!

Hi Amanda I suppose it would depend on what sort of disability the child has. However, I can safely put my as was 3 year old daughter in this, and she was kept safe and secure. Feet are strapped on to the peddles so can not accidentally fall off, the body/chest is securely strapped in with a three point harness, and to date she's not yet worked out how to undo it. Possible issues. A) Child could happily stick arms out on either side risking them being hit by passing objects. B) No side head support, so if the child struggles to keep their neck straight, this may be an issue. As far as B is concerned, we purchased one of those sleeping cushions for long flights, and have fitted that to the bike, so that if she wants to sleep she can. The only other thing I'd say is, if the child isn't going to help pedal, you'll be limited on the hills that you could tackle with it, simply due to weight of child/trailer.

I agree with Rebecca... unless your child is a confident swimmer I wouldn't buy this. They lose some control because their feet are bound together. And either way, never over their heads with this on.

Ours is long gone, but had the same problem. Have no answer, just keep putting it back on. I guess you can try to glue it. That thing was a life saver. Plop the kid in and you can get some things done. Both kids loved it, especially when starting to walk.

The handle comes off, but its not intended to. The child wouldn't be able to ride on their own because there'd be no way to get moving.

It's not to hard to get out. it also will not just fall out on its own. It is also holding up great too. I hope this answers your question.
