Very disappointed with this small chair
December 14, 2016
I purchased the chair for my son when he was 18 months old. Now he is 23 months old, and already I have had to stop using it. The stationary small tray makes it difficult to get him in and out of the chair, because you need to lift the toddler over and through the opening between the seat and stationary tray. (The small tray that comes off)
Also.. My son began gripping the sides of the removable tray, and it would fall to the floor. Now he knows that it is that simple to squeeze and drop the tray, so we have had to sit directly in front of him every time he eats, and hold the tray so he can not release the side grips and have everything crash to the floor.
Also.. The foot rest is positioned too far back in the frame (front legs) of the chair, making it nearly impossible to a child to rest their feet on it. At first, he legs were not long enough, causing him to have to let his feet dangle in the air. This is very bad for posture, especially at such a young age. For about 2 months, his legs did reach the foot rest.. Then when his legs got longer, his feet would no longer fit comfortably in the rest, because his knees hit the small stationary tray.
This chair is a huge disappointment. I have been using Graco Products since the early 1980's, and I must say, this is the most disappointing baby product I have ever had.
It may save spaces, and work for a baby.. but it is an extremely poor design for toddlers.
