Can I sit on this toddler Ikea chair without breaking it?

It doesn’t specify a weight limit, and I have no idea how to gauge these things. Not that I plan to do it regularly, but just alongside DC for short periods.

Well it depends what you weigh! I sit on one with my DS (female weighing approx 68kg) for short periods. My DH (male, 6’4”, weighing over 100kg) does not as he would certainly break it!

I sit on them all the time. Never broken one or felt it weaken. I weigh about 9.5 st.

My dad sits on one and he’s about 14 stone.

I've sat on them before. You won't be hugely comfortable, but the chair is sturdy

My daughter has that same chair and I sit on it from time to time but it is small so not comfy Grin

I sit on ours loads and have done for years. I’m about 60kg. They’re good solid chairs.

I used to. I was 10 stone 4 then.

They are good and strong. We had two, I often sat on them, I am not light!

TheSpottedZebra · 02/09/2020 09:41

Its IKEA- it will definitely list its weight limit somewhere.

Redolent · 02/09/2020 09:50

Thank you! 60kg here so sounds like I’ll be OK

Yes, we have that chair in blue which I regularly sit on in the playroom, it will hold your weight easily!
