the description says it weighs almost 8 lbs. Our 4 yr. old is very petite - is this too heavy to hold on her lap??

Not that it would be too heavy, but the size of the squart the easel sits in would probably be too big for her lap.

It is to big for a child's lap. My nephews play with it on the floor or the table.

It's pretty solid and large. I wouldn't recommend putting it on her lap. Try a small white board for that, and a cookie sheet for magnets. This is more of a set it up on an end table, or at the kitchen table, etc.

Yes- we set it on the floor or on a coffee table for my grand daughter to use.

Really not meant to put on a lap. Sits well at a table or on the floor. Very stable and well made.

I would not recommend putting this stand in anyone's lap - it is too big for that. Since it is an easel stand with one side magnetic as well as dry erase and the other side with felt fabric, it would really work better to sit on something sturdy, i.e., a table, the floor.

It does not feel heavy to me. But if you want to feel more secure about it and if you have a scale at home, put 5 1/2 pounds of books or a binder or similar object on the scale and once you have approximated the weight, try it on your lap and see how it feels. That might help you decide. Good luck.

I think it is more of a size thing rather than age. My daughter is tiny, but still on it and has been for over a year now. I wouldn't go more than probably 80 pounds on it.

It's not too heavy, but depending on how tall she is it might be to tall for her. I'm 5'7, and I can easily use it. I also don't use the attached bag which comes with it. To me, this would add to the weight, because you are pushing the mower and cut grass. I hope this helps.

I'm not sure about her from a height perspective but my 2 year old weighs 30 pounds and my 4 year old weighs 40 pounds and they ride in it together just fine. They only used the slower setting too and that was enough for them at least for this year! They love it!

I don't think the weight would be a problem with an 8 year old, but his or her legs will be too long I think. But it is PERFECT for 2-4 maybe 5 year old.

Not sure, but the stroller feels much heavier than even 8 lbs. It's by far the heaviest stroller I've owned, and with 4 kids, I've owned a few. I would still recommend it. The folding mechanism still makes my day.

It's not very heavy at all... I'm going to guess it at 1.5 pounds by the feel. But since it's a preemie that fits this little guy fine in my opinion.

It's pretty light because it isn't made of glass or heavy materials. (That would be bad news for baby in the case of an accident.) It feels about 1 lb to me as it's made of lightweight materials.

I have an almost 2 year old who still rides in it. He is about 30 lbs. If she sits well then she will do fine. However, I would consider the double version of this as well. I love this one, but it is a little squishy once the child gets about 2. I wish I would've gotten the double version of this.

Can't really say what weight, my grand-daughter is not heavy but nevertheless it is sturdy and I feel would be ok for whatever the age the manufacturers say. My grand-daughter loves it, it is like a real play area. Hope this is of help to you.

The base is really heavy. My 18 month old couldn't tip it. But I'm sure an older stronger kid could pull it down.

It couldn't weigh much more than that...because my 6 yrs granddaughter takes it with her when we change cars:-) and she's a normal sized 6.9 yr old girl :-)

I don't know what it weighs but our 17month old can carry it around. She loves to push it more than sit and spin . I think she'll do that when she is older

Hi there! No, it's light enough. My girl is 11 pounds and my friend has an 8 pound girl. Works wonders and it isn't too big or heavy. It's a great product.

We haven't really put a lot of weight on it but it holds me with my dog in my lap and that's about 140 pounds. It's sturdy. What weight are you thinking about?

The harness adjusts to larger children. I bought it for my 4 year old son, but My eight year old daughter can fit comfortably in the seat and she is weighs 90 lbs. The manufacturer weight limit is 100lbs. I think your daughter would be comfortable and secure in this seat.
