The Upseat Baby Floor and Booster seat is ideal for babies and toddlers from ages 4 months to 2 years. However, every baby is different and the more important factor of when to begin using the Upseat is when your little one has head/neck control, and this usually occurs somewhere around 4 months old.
The Upseat Floor and Booster Seat has a weight capacity of 30 lbs or 13.6 kg.
Each Upseat comes with a safety harness strap, a large tray, and booster seat conversion straps, at no extra cost.
Every baby is different, so we recommend that you consult with your physical therapist. However, we work closely with several physical therapists, and they have recommended that parents put their babies in the Upseat for short periods of time and then progressively increase the amount of time.
If your baby is starting to lean backwards, it may be time to start using the Upseat as a booster seat only. Simply use the booster seat conversion straps, and your wiggly baby will be safely secured.
If you would like to continue using the Upseat as a floor seat with your growing babe, no problem! We'd like to introduce you to the Splat Mat, which doubles as a docking station for extra-mobile babies. Thanks to the handy docking strap located in the middle of the mat, you can feel confident knowing that their wiggly baby is stable while upright and active in their Upseat.

From the seat portion to the top of the Upseat, the backrest is 10" high.
The seat is made from polyurethane foam and the tray is made from food grade ABS plastic. The Upseat’s materials are safe for children to use and do not contain any lead, phthalates, cadmium or BPA.
All products are tested by CPSC-accredited third-party laboratories to ensure they are free from harmful substances. All products are also compliant with California Prop 65.
We adhere to strict U.S., Canadian, and international safety regulations and take pride in exceeding these standards.
The Upseat and tray can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. If needed, the tray is dishwasher friendly. Straps can also be removed and machine washed with cold water in a mesh bag. Air dry only and do not use bleach.
Please make sure the Upseat is fully dry before strapping to a dining chair to avoid any discoloration from occurring.
The Upseat tray, made from medical-grade ABS plastic, is dishwasher friendly. To preserve its quality, we recommend placing it on the top rack and using a lower heat setting (up to 60°C/140°F). Avoid high heat or sanitizing cycles, as these may affect the material's durability over time.
If your Upseat's straps become dirty, we recommend that you hand-wash them using warm water and soap. We don't recommend putting them in the laundry, as the plastic buckles may break off.
The Upseat’s large removable tray is almost 16.5" wide.
The Upseat’s leg openings are 4 inches, significantly wider than other baby seats, and wide enough to accommodate the healthiest thigh sizes.
Leg openings = 4"
From pommel to back of the seat = 6.5"
From bottom of the seat to the top of back rest = 10"
The numbers are stamped at the bottom of the seat, either in the centre or deep in the pommel.
We do not sell used Upseats. However, if your Upseat arrived in a ripped bag or if you have other concerns, please reach out to us and we'll make it right.
Note: We make our Upseats like you bake a cake, and bubbles or small imperfections may form due to this process. This is normal and your Upseat is perfect to use!
If your baby is starting to feel snug in the Upseat, it may be time to transition them to the Upseat Boost! The Boost is for children 18M+ and continues to encourage upright posture.
The fit of the Upseat with a Pavlik harness will depend on the design and size of the harness being used. Nevertheless, we have received positive feedback from many parents who found the Upseat to be a great fit for their child's Pavlik harness. We recommend trying out the Upseat and if it doesn't fit, you can easily return the seat for a full refund.
The Upseat's booster seat conversion straps were designed longer in order to accommodate a variety of different chair sizes. If you are finding the straps are still loose, simply wrap the extra straps around the chair's legs.

Certainly! The Upseat serves as an excellent highchair alternative, and we highly recommend utilizing the tray even when in booster seat mode. Our initial generation of the Upseat included instructions advising against tray usage in booster seat configuration, mainly due to a different tray design. However, with our latest tray version, you can confidently and safely use it in booster seat mode without any concerns. Your child's comfort and safety are our top priorities.
The Upseat Boost is suitable for children able to sit up unassisted (minimum of 18 months old) and up to 5 years or a maximum weight of 50 lbs/22 kgs.
The Boost gives children an extra 8" of height when the detachable platform is in use and an additional 5" of height without.
The seat is made from polyurethane foam. The Upseat Boost's materials are safe for children to use and do not contain any lead, phthalates, cadmium or BPA.
All products are tested by CPSC-accredited third-party laboratories to ensure they are free from harmful substances. All products are also compliant with California Prop 65.
We adhere to strict U.S., Canadian, and international safety regulations and take pride in exceeding these standards.
Each Upseat Boost is thoughtfully designed for your child's safety and comfort. It includes a 3-point harness for secure seating, adjustable booster seat chair straps to fit a variety of chair sizes, and a detachable platform for added versatility. Additionally, it features our unique "Upfront Strap", an ergonomic positioning strap that helps position your child at the edge of the chair, ensuring proper posture and maintaining a 90-degree seating angle for optimal comfort and support.
*Please note: The Upfront Strap is a newer feature. If you have an older version of the Upseat Boost, please reach out to us at info@nuvate.com, and we will happily send you one.

Afterpay does not affect your credit score or credit rating. Your credit score can be impacted when somebody does a credit check on you or if you are reported as paying debts late. However, at Afterpay, they never do credit checks or report late payments. They don’t believe in preventing people from accessing Afterpay because they may have had an old debt from a long time ago. And they don’t believe that missing a payment with Afterpay should result in a bad credit history - especially when the average purchase is only around $150. Afterpay's main aim is always to help you spend responsibly, and they take a lot of steps to help ensure this, including pausing your account when you miss a payment.

Sometimes. Our Refurbished Program contains both used Upseats and "manufactured seconds." When we receive returned Upseats back to our factory, we vet through each and every one of them, inspecting to ensure that the condition is up to our standards. Our "manufactured seconds" are Upseats that have been manufactured with a very slight defect. However, the integrity and quality of the seat remains the same as our new seats.
Unfortunately, all Refurbished Upseats are final sale. While we do our best to ensure that each Refurbished Upseat is in great condition, the seats and packaging may be subject to slight imperfections.
We try our best to ensure that each refurbished Upseat is in great condition. However, you may see slight imperfections on the seat and box. Some imperfections may include scratch-like marks, a distressed handle, a worn box, etc. However, we ensure that all refurbished Upseats have the same integrity as our new seats.
It depends on the customer. However, the most common reasons include receiving duplicates as gifts or the seat not fitting their baby.
We love your sustainability mindset! In an attempt to reduce carbon emissions that take place during the shipping process, we ask that you kindly donate your gently-used Upseat to a local organization or family.
