I have used my Mamas and Pappa's, Prima Pappa highchair for the past four years with no problems. I think (thought) it was wonderful and always recommended it to others. However .... yesterday I trapped my hand in the side mechanism, goodness knows how, and I swear if dh hadn't been there I would have got dd (age 4) to dial 999! The skin between my thumb and forefinger on my right hand was trapped and I couldn't use my left hand to free it. I'm a bit of a wimp anyway but the pain and the panic made me nearly faint. By the time dh got my hand out I had nearly collapsed! dd and ds were crying because I was crying! It's funny now but at the time it was so hideous. I've fainted a couple of times before and I got that blacking out, cold sweat, sick feeling, had to be helped to the sink to put it under the tap, then helped to the chair. About 20 mins later I felt OK but then couldn't stop blubbing because I kept thinking what if he hadn't been there?! Can you imagine the firemen coming in to save me from my killer highchair, or the ambulance men? The whole street would have been on the pavement wondering what was going on!!
Anyway, the skin wasn't broken and there's just a faint mark now, nothing to show for all the drama. Needless to say, I have left it up ever since and not collapsed the bleeping thing. BEWARE!!
