How easy is the Gourmet Highchair to use day-to-day?
"It’s very easy to use day-to-day with our seven-month-old," explained Tamsin. "The tray is easy to remove to get our little one in and out, and the five-point safety straps are great for knowing our son is safe if I’m cooking in the kitchen."
How easy is the Gourmet Highchair to keep clean?
Keeping a highchair clean is one of the top priorities of any weaning parent, and with a removable tray and wipe-down leatherette finish, Silver Cross lists ease of cleaning as one of the Gourmet's top features. While Tamsin said it was "relatively easy to keep clean", she pointed out that "if it's been a really messy dinner, cleaning the whole removable tray and connecting part can be quite difficult."
She added that although the stitching detail on the chair was a lovely aesthetic touch, it let the design down in terms of practicality: "Once food is in the stitching, it's a real job to clean it out!"

Is the Gourmet Highchair adjustable?
Silver Cross claims the Gourmet grows with your child, with seven adjustable height positions, three adjustable calf-rest positions for growing legs and a lie-flat recline seat. Tamsin praised its adjustability, saying it will be "perfect for us as our son grows."
As with most mid-range highchairs on the market, Silver Cross advises that the Gourmet can be used until a child reaches either 15kg or three years, but thanks to its adjustable features it can be used from newborn.
