Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

All the features, but ...

Yes, it folds away to a slim size, it's not too heavy & the seat cover is wipeable. It's easy to adjust the height of the seat, & also to recline the seat (although the footrest doesn't move with the recline option).

BUT (& this is a big but), although the seat cover comes off the harness does not. Am I the only parent in the world whose child manages to get food over his harness? I have tried to scrub the harness clean but after using the chair for 4 months, the harness now looks rather grubby. Do other highchairs have the harness attached to the seat cover so that it all comes away together when you want to wash it in your washing machine? Or does no such highchair exist???

Excuse the rant / review but I am rather surprised that a highchair that is so good in every other respect lets itself down on this point.

Easy to clean, sturdy and stows away to a slim size really easily. My baby is very comfortable in it and I love that I can remove the whole tray but there is still a small bar to keep her safe.I couldn't be happier with it. Shop around as it is half the stated price on Kiddicare. It isn't the most attrative highchair but because it folds up so easily this isn't a problem at all. The harness is also very short so buy a seperate one when ordering.

This was a great highchair that has all the features such as adjustable height, recline, removable trays etc but, unlike the other highchairs in the same category, the Contempo folds up to a tiny size and is fairly light. I like it because its so easy to store.
