Good Chair But...
October 9, 2008
This is an excellent chair to buy if you are in need of a space saving highchair. This highchair attaches to a kitchen that you already have and is very secure. It can tilt to three different angles so as the baby grows you can adjust the chair to fit you and the child's needs. The chair also has a removable cover that is soft and has a nice cushion for the child to sit in.
BUT
There are few flaws, not to steer you away from it, but just as an informational knowledge. As the child gets older and eats more finger type foods and becomes messier in their eating habits. Food has a tendency to get "lost" in the chair. Behind the cloth seat, under the seat and forget the crumbs! I have to take the chair outside once a week and shake it to get rid of the crumbs that manage to get in the tiny crevices. Speaking of....the chair was poorly design in the thought process of a child's eating habits. There are lots of little grooves and places where dirt and grime can get into. I have been known to get a toothpick out to scrap out the dirt and crumbs that get stuck in the chair handles and other parts. The cushion is not machine wash friendly, so keeping it clean is not always easy, especially after a spaghetti dinner where red sauce has gotten everywhere! The tray is nice b/c it can go in the dishwasher, however it is clunky and a bit big for a typical dishwasher and the Fisher Price Logo on the front has come off due to the # of times it has been through the dishwasher.
Another down side, though it is good for being a space saving chair in your kitchen, when we have company over, more than the usual # then we have to trade out the highchair out of the chair so our guests can sit, but that is minor in the big things of good qualities this chair has!
The highchair IS a good chair, and we like it. I would recommend it to someone and maybe the newer version of this has been updated to fix some of these problems, but overall a good buy for the $, especially when it is on sale!!
