It's been a great chair for us. It looks like a highchair and it functions like one. Easy to clean, esp the tray. I don't really like those minimalist wooden highchairs as I think 9 out of 10 6-8 month olds would find them tricky to sit comfortably in compared to something like the Chicco Polly.

We used it in various rooms in our hse and moved it from room to room easily. It served us well until age 3.

It is heavy, but stable and folds small.

Still like it and use it for out 2 year old! It is big- but we have a huge dining room so dont mind it. The reclining was so usefull when we first started using it at 5.5 months and had S in it on a lower position. Few times she even fell asleep in it while watching me cook. Was good to keep her high and close- reclined so she can see what I was doing and be entertained. The kiddy tray is great, keeping a little one from wiggling too much when fed. Parent tray and the storage bag we never used as the storage one is unpractical- have to open it with both hands to put anything in. But thinking about it- what would you store at the bottom of the high chair anyway...

The only thing I mind is cleaning. The food does get everywhere and at one point I couldn't just wipe it clean any more as it was in the stage when it neaded propper soaking. That actually made it worse- water stayed in thick padding, never dryed after days and days in the sun, and now it stinks like hell!

The fact that we've got one that has no wheels at all and Chicco wont sell us the new part with wheels didn't make me happy eather. But now I just don't move it at all as I don't nead to...

Comfy looking well padded seat. Straps are easy to adjust even for small babies. Post under the tray unit stops babies slipping down in the seat. Adjustable footrest meant my 6 month old can even reach it.

But it's expensive, difficult to move even with the wheels as there's nowhere to lift it with to put it on the wheels, the tray is difficult to put on if you take it off the runners completely and it's very high - mid chest on my 8month. The recline feature and height adjust seemed nice but I have never and will never use them so not worth paying extra for.

We bought this and started our dd in it when she was about 5 months old - it was very well padded but she looked tiny! It's a very sturdey chair, and she was always very comfy in it - the tray is easy to remove and clean, and really it looks great!

It's easy to fold, slightly more trickly to higher and lower, and the harness is pretty straightforward to use and remove for washing. The toy net and parent tray as well as removable snack tray to go on top of the main tray are great, but tbh we didn't use them! The main problem with it is that it's HUGE! Our kitchen isn't small, but it was always in the way and not that portable once up.

In the end, when she got to about 16 months, we decided that it was just too big and bulky and just bough a cheap and cheerful booster seat to strap to a kitchen chair and have her at the table with us! I didn't realise when I spent all that time researching a high chair that she probably wouldn't need it for much more than a year, and looking back would probably have gone for a much cheaper, more basic model!

This highchair is really comfy for babies of all ages and can be adjusted really well to fit as a chair under any table.

It comes up like new if you put the straps and seat padding in the washing machine. I clean the frame by lugging it outside then spraying with the hosepipe. It will last for as many kids as you need it to if you buy replacement seat covers for each kid (mine got tears in them with DS1) they are £25 inc delivery from Chicco.

It is expensive though.
