We got this for our 10 month old daughter. It is pretty big for her right now but I sit her on it and she loves to play with her doll there. She was very excited to have one just like mommy. Luckily she can stand and walk around so she will learn to hop on and off in no time and it will be perfect when she does. She will be able to enjoy it for years. Needs coordination and strength to get the leg rest out but I will pull it out until she can do it herself. We are already looking forward to buying one of another color for her soon to be little brother. The cup holder is a great extra that I know will be a hit! She already walks over to it from our couch and back...somehow she knows that its hers. haha Cant wait to choose out next one to buy. THANKS
