Definitely better and cheaper highchairs
Pro's- looks good, comfy for baby to sit in, the tray is really easy to clean.
Cons- legs are major trip hazard, Hard to clean- the seat material has little pattern mean food gets stuck and in the front section there is a hole for food to fall in and never be seen again unless you pull it apart and hose it down outside which you unfortunately have to do regularly. Straps are useless and get in the way and hard to clean, so we don't use them.
Some of these would be so easy to fix if Phil and Ted's made a fabric/plastic washable seat cover for it that covered the hole. But alas i have only seen my friend make one herself- none to be purchased.
Definitely should have listened to others advice and just bought the cheap IKEA chair...
wish I hadn't wasted my money
So I got this chair because it looked easy to clean and had a nice look to it...... boy was I wrong.
Where do I start!
.The straps never stay on my babies shoulders
.the chair has a pattern through the foam meaning if you don't wipe it straight away everything sticks to it
. Straps are a nightmare to remove and clean.
Baby's arms can get trapped between the chair and tray when putting the tray on
. Legs are a tripping hazard
.food gets caught in the gap for the tray/leg strap
Seriously save yourself some dollars and get the $30 high chair from IKEA, It is 100 times better than this high chair if you want somethig user friendly and easy to clean.
Beautiful look but terrible design
I bought this highchair because it looked so easy to clean. I thought with a smooth seat like that the sponge would just glide over and if worst comes to worst it should survive a good hose down reasonably well. Boy was I wrong. Sure it looks beautiful but that cover has just the right amount of texture to store a lil of last nights bolognese. Not only that, but the only way to remove the lower harness straps for washing is with a screwdriver. Then, if you have a child who is inclined to create an impressionist masterpiece with this mornings oa
... Read moretmeal, and decide "yes, I think it is time for a good ol' hose down", you will find that the chair leaks fluero orange juice for weeks, because under the beautiful minimalist facade is a freakin labyrinth of plastic to catch water/food/disgusting goop. Also the spot where you click the hollow metal legs into is wide open so all of that water makes it's way down to the feet and waits until you go to store the chair away, removing the legs and whoooosh big rusty puddles across your floor. Don't bother....go to ikea, at least they're cheap.
Not that great
I found that for a young baby this was no good as it would position bub too far forward. No recline. My friends 1 year old sat in it and he looked like a giant in it. I don't think it would last very long. The back could also be a be higher for better back support. legs are wide and yep I also tripped in them. I ended up taking it back
