I don't do many reviews, but I am so unhappy with this product that I just had to share our experience in hopes of saving someone else from the trouble. I am just waiting for my 12 month old son to be ready for a booster seat (which will be soon) so we can get rid of it.

We registered for this highchair after checking it out at BRU and thought the features looked compatible with what we wanted. WRONG! Being 1st time parents, I now look back and wish we had known several things about it or I would not have registered for it.

First, the "slide guard safety restraint" is wonderful in theory, as it protects your child from sliding out if they are not harnessed. However, the fact that the entire front tray is permanent and not removable can make for getting an active, wiggly baby very difficult to put into the seat. You have to bend their legs and guide them into the seat and into the leg holes. As my son got older, he became strong enough to straighten his legs, push against the tray, and refuse to be sat down. It takes coaxing to get his legs down in there. (If the tray had a slide guard attached to the underside of it instead, all I would have to do is take the tray off, sit him down in the seat, harness him in, then replace the tray. I have used other high chairs since that have feature and was instantly jealous, wishing ours did not have a permanent slide guard)

I will say that it's easy to clean the tray and I like the removable top tray feature, it goes right in the dishwasher which is nice. (I checked "Easy to Clean" for that part.)

The cover is also washable but unfortunately the side clips are hard to get off, and the slits in the fabric for the buckles/straps (all 5 of them) are awkward and too big for the slits, making it very difficult to feed them through. This part makes it not so easy to clean.

We also have been unable to get the bottom foot rest to adjust any lower. My son's legs are already touching the foot rest and the metal peg-in-hole style of the adjustment is unbelievable hard to do. My husband and I have given up on trying to move it down.

It is not that "easily stowed" because it is rather wide and becomes a little bit top heavy/unstable when you fold the legs up. You have to make sure it is wedged against something else or securely balanced against something. I would not trust it to just stand along after it's been folded up.

Overall I regret this purchase and am surprised at all the postive reviews. I would say it might be good for younger infants who are just learning to sit an eat, but once the child reaches 9+ months it is a whole new experience.

We have been using these chairs with our 9 month old twins for almost 5 months now. Overall the chair is excellent. It is very comfortable and easy to use although pretty big. The two of them together take up a lot of room. The only reason it only gets four stars is because of the straps (standard T harness). We just started having to clip them in so they won't stand up. The clips do not click in as easily as they should. Just a small groove in the plastic to facilitate this would have been nice and both my wife and I have pinched our fingers putting in the clips. Aside from the small problem with the clips, I would still recommend this chair. Easy to clean and does what it needs too. The adjustable height is a must and the reclining feature is nice also. Overall, we are happy we chose this chair.

I absolutely love this high chair. While slightly (i do mean slightly) difficult to assemble, once it's together, it's built to impress. SUPER easy to clean, easy to get baby in and out, rolls easily when you want it to, easy one handed operation.

I've been really happy with this high chair. It has all the features I was looking for but couldn't find in another product: t-bar not attached to tray, 5 point harness, 6 height settings, 3 recline settings, easy to clean cover, easy to roll, and easy to fold. It also has a safety feature that lets you know when the chair is fully unfolded and engaged. It allows my 4 month old to sit upright to play with his toys on the tray. He can't sit up on his own yet, so he loves this chair.
I researched so many high chairs, but I'm very happy I got this one. I was unsure due to a lack of reviews, but I'm glad I followed my gut. I did pay a bit more for fine several weeks ago, but oh well.

I'm so disappointed with this bulky contraption. The tray is difficult to remove one-handed, the harness seems like a death trap, and the product design is just pretty junky. I should have shelled the extra bucks out for a streamlined wooden design.

I use this highchair for my 9 month old twin son. He is a big boy...already 25lbs and 29 inches tall & he fits great in this chair. It is very easy to recline with him in it and roomy enough for his broad shoulders. The height adjustment is very easy to use & it moves around on the floor well. Top tray is easy to remove & clean. We were borrowing a highchair from my mother-in-law until we could buy new highchairs for the twins & her older Graco seat had a very concave back and both my daughter & son kind of slumped into it. This chair is great no slumping !! Very comfy & nice wide back. We initially bought my twin girl the Graco mini mouse one & when we saw the quality of this one compared we returned it and got one just like it for her in a different color:) I highly recommend this chair to everyone!

It secures the baby and easily moves about the kitchen. Keeps baby happy while preparing food. Baby's mother likes it better than more expensive one she bought.

This high chair is the best. I like the many seat and height positions. It is easy to change the positions as well as easy tray removal. The snack tray is great too! This was my favorite fabric/pattern and is easy to clean. Can't go wrong with this highchair!

I bought this high chair for my 7 month old daughter. I love it! The tray insert that pops in and out makes cleaning up process so much easier. The seat wipes down easily. I love that it is on wheels. This makes this chair not only great for feedings, but it is a great place for my baby to hang out while I am busy in the kitchen. I can just wheel her around. Also important...it folds up so easily that it is easy to travel with.
