Mostly good, but safety issue and tray could be better
Overall I find the chair pretty good, and I'd probably buy one again.
It's moderately easy to clean, but the textured surface makes it a bit more difficult. The straps are somewhat difficult to clean, usually they have to go into the sink for a good wash and dry.
The shoulder straps are next to useless. They're anchored at the base, they slip off as soon as they're put on. You might as well not bother with them. The leg straps are fine, but a really energetic baby can get out of them. Between the tray and leg straps most babys won't be ab...
Read morele to escape easily, but as they get a bit older I suspect some or many will be able to get out. They tray's good, but because it's curved across almost its entire surface it's difficult to get suction things to attach. You can get a bowl to suck down in the middle, but near the edges where we wanted to put a suction toy it just wouldn't stay on.

stylish but flawed
My main problem with this chair is that if you put the baby in the seat and then put the plastic tray on, it is possible to trap their hands or arms between the seat and the tray if they have their arms hanging down the sides of the chair. I have done this on several occasions. I have also pinched my baby's legs once when pushing the tray on to the white part that projects from the middle of the chair. Now we put the tray on first then put the baby in to avoid these issues.
In addition, the legs are splayed out at such an angle that they ar...
Read moree a trip hazard. Like other reviewers I purchased this chair over other chairs with soft covers thinking that it would be easier to clean, like the plastic Ikea ones that are so popular. Unfortunately food tends to fall into the holes that the straps come out of and gets stuck under the silicone cover where it then festers until you have time to remove the cover to clean it. I was seduced by this chair's good looks, but in hindsight I should have just gone with something like the Ikea chair.

Stylish high chair, not easy to clean
**
Review update - having had this chair for quite a while now I would have to say that the seat is not as easy to clean as I first thought. Over time more and more food gets stuck in the texture of the seat piece and it's so difficult to get out. A smooth surface would be much better.

Love this highchair! The seat is just one piece and so easy to clean, as is the large tray. I particularly wanted a chair that didn't have cushions or any places for food to get stuck. It looks great too and actually matches our other dining chair...
Read mores which are a red molded plastic! I don't bother using the shoulder harness straps, and in fact I can't see how a baby could get out with the table in place. We are often tripping over the legs however, and I don't think that they are wider than other high chairs, but compared to the top the legs stick out wider than you expect. stylish, easy to clean, converts to a chair when not required as a high chair any more, baby looks comfortable and secure, excellent price often tripping over legs
I tried to like it, but could not every time I tripped over the legs. Aaagh...
Looks great but such a hazard, the legs are way out there that its not funny any more. Specially when carrying your child and tripping. Would not recommend in small spaces.

Questions & Answers
Could I thread the straps through the back of the high chair and through the hole of the seat?
The straps are anchored to the base of the seat. You could possibly thread the strap between the base of the seat and the cover (the coloured part) and through the handle at the top of the backrest. I...
Read more don't have my straps available to check if they are long enough.
I thought the chair had a five point harness, but when I put it together it didn't have any shoulder straps, just the three point harness for baby's thighs. Is this how it's supposed to be? Thanks.
Hi, it comes with an extra 2 long removable straps (seperate to the 3 point harness) which you clip to the 3 point harness where the harness connects to the chair, these straps X over the babies back ...
Read moreand clip into the black plastic D ring on the buckle of the 3 point harness at the front. if you didnt receive these straps with the chair it might be worth contacting the store you purchased it through or phil and teds directly. -Jessie
is this chair big enough for child to rest head on? Is foot rest sturdy enough?
Hi! My daughter was too tall by the time I started using this chair for her to rest her head on it. However I don't know that it would be terribly suitable for that purpose anyway. It doesn't recline ...
Read morelike a traditional chair so is purely made for kids that can hold their own heads and for the business of sitting up and eating. As far as the foot rest goes I actually don't use it. She's never in it long enough to be bothered with it and I just didn't feel the need for it personally. I sat it in the draw thinking I might attach it one day but many months later of using the chair I haven't felt the need :)Get an answer from our members and Phil & Teds representatives
