I bought this glider for my two kids, 8 and 2. The older one barely fits onto it but still enjoys it, although he is almost 55 inches tall. My two year old outgrew her baby swing but wasn't ready for a regular kid swing.  The glider is a good transition piece that will help her develop the movement needed when she graduates to a regular swing. Another thing I like about it is that it is for only one child at a time, rather than 2 together. My kids tend to bicker so the two-person glider was not as appealing. Also, it holds a lot of weight-- I got on it for a minute and I am heavy set.
