adria says "A great highchair for the money." about Evenflo Expressions High Chair

adria — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 21:43:51 GMT

We got this for our son and love it. I like the 7 height adjustments on it. I'm also loving the dishwasher safe tray insert. It's great to just put that in the dishwasher. Our son also likes the little toy on the tray. I like that it can be folded up (kinda)and stored somewhere else if I need to. I don't care much for the locking wheels. It seems like they're always locked when I never lock them. I guess they lock too easily and we bump them. I don't know. Our son loves sitting in it even when he's not eating. He likes to color sitting in it. It was kinda a pain to put together but just about any baby item is. It also has a bib holder but I use it for a towel holder to wipe my son off....

mlz99 says "Great for limited space." about Fisher-Price Space Saver High Chair

mlz99 — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 09:19:14 GMT

We bought the Fisher-Price Space Saver since we do not have a lot of room in our kitchen and I did not want a huge piece of baby gear taking up even more space. I am really happy and glad that we bought this product. It is so easy to use. The tray is easy to clean and has yet to stain even though my son loves to play in his spaghetti. The covering on the chair removes easily so you can really clean out the mess. It is also nice to be able to put it away and not have to forfeit one of my dining room chairs when I have company over if my son is not eating with us. I can just take off it the chair and replace it when they leave. My only complaint is that the straps on my chair have since broken however it did last us 1.5 yrs. I would buy this again in a heartbeat....

ashmb444 says "We love this Highchair" about Graco Graco Kirkwood Meal Time High Chair

ashmb444 — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 03:31:37 GMT

We love the Graco Meal TIme Highchair, it is very safe and strudy. I was anxious to use it to feed my little girl for the first time. I used the site-to-store pick up at Walmart.com and could'nt wait to get it home, when I assembled it and put her in there I was very impressed and pleasantly surprised to learn that it had the safety straps in the highchair to keep her nice and safe and tightly secured in the seat. She uses it every day and you can loosen the straps as they grow. She also likes to sit in there when we are cooking in the kitchen and watch us and plays with her toys on the nice big top that it has. I would definetly recommend this product to anybody who has a child..

illyria20 says "Good looking but impractical high chair" about Eddie Bauer Natural Wood High Chair

illyria20 — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 22:57:37 GMT

We purchased the Eddie Bauer high chair for my son and reused it for my daughter. I love that it was made of a sturdy wood which held up to the abuse of 2 children. Thousands of wipe-downs and it still looks great! It also didn't stick out like a sore thumb in our dining room.

I was disappointed to realize that it would be useless for the first 6 months. Although I didn't expect that my children would really need the high chair for those early months, it was a shame that we couldn't put them in a chair, level with the table to socialize with the rest of the family at dinnertime. We purchased generic high chairs for the grandparents houses and realized that mealtime was that much easier when the child can interact with the rest of the family.

Once we began using it, we found it easy to clean, Quite a bit heavier than plastic high chairs but twice as sturdy. I never worried about it tipping when they leaned out as I did with the generic high chair. The tray is also significantly...

illyria20 says "Bumbo best for older babies" about Bumbo Baby Seat Baby Sitter

illyria20 — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 22:44:06 GMT

We bought the Bumbo seat at a yard sale for my second child. We sat her in it long before she was sitting on her own. I loved that she could go wherever I went in the house. I loved that she could join us at the dinner table (sitting ON the table) and she seems to enjoy it for short periods of time. But...

There are some major problems with this seat.

1. For the "assisted sitter" (child who can't sit on their own) the bumbo seat sits the child straight up with no head/neck support. My 4 month old daughter slouched in the seat in the most uncomfortable way. Although she held her head up beautifully, the positioning of this chair wound up pitching her head forward.

2. Because of the upright positioning, it's not the most ideal chair for feeding an infant. I often had to tilt my daughters head back in order to spoon in her cereal. Else her chin was tilted toward her chest. Thus, another feeding option (high chair, bouncy seat) is required.

3. By the time my child was able to sit on her own,...

ajdub says "Best high chair for the price" about Fisher Price Healthy Care High Chair

ajdub — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 02:31:47 GMT

I did a lot of research for high chairs and settled on the Fisher-Price Healthy High Chair. I love the removable insert tray. It was extremely easy to get the tray on and off and I never worried about pinching my child in the seat. The padding was fairly easy to remove and wash. The bonus toy attachments kept my daughter happy while waiting for food to be ready. I loved being able to angle the seat as she grew with the high chair.

Overall it is a wonderful chair for a reasonable price and wears well.

getluckee13 says "Pass and get a high chair" about Bumbo Baby Seat Baby Sitter

getluckee13 — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 21:50:15 GMT

The Bumbo Baby Chair, although rather expensive for a hunk of molded plastic, is an item I would recommend that new parents pass on, it is designed to help children sit, but my daughter wanted out of it no sooner than we put her in it, she was much more comfortable and much happier in a standard high chair, there was more tray space (the tray you have to purchase extra with the bumbo seat) and she seemed to be a lot more comfy in the padded high chair seat, plus she got to sit at the table with us which she loved, where as the bumbo seat is kind of limited to where you can set it, if you set it on a high surface such as a table, you can't really walk away from it and there is a chance the baby could wiggle out of it (my daughter did multiple times) and fall, and if you set it on the floor it doesn't really provide a lot of chances for interaction during meals. I recommend that you do not purchase the bumbo and just spend the little bit extra and invest in a high chair. They can be used......

NathansMommy says "Booster seat and portable high chair all in one--Awesome!!" about Fisher Price Healthy Care Booster Seat

NathansMommy — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 21:20:17 GMT

I LOVE the Healthy Care Booster Seat!! We are currently using it most as a booster seat without the tray, at the dinner table. Our son sits in it for every meal, and loves it. It's also extremely portable and great for taking places. We take it to church luncheons, restaurants, other people's houses, etc. and always get positive remarks about how handy it is. We have put it on a wide variety of different chairs and never had any trouble securing it to any of them. It's very easy to set up and take down, and folds neatly for compact carrying. It has two trays, so if you're traveling and can't clean the first tray before you need to use it again, the second is ready to go for the next meal (great for traveling!) I love that it has the snap-on cover to keep the tray clean during transit. The cover also keeps crumbs and food particles put after use too, if you can't clean it right away. The whole thing is also very easy to clean. The trays are diswasher safe.

The one thing I wish it had...

denebeau says "The Babee Tenda feeding table is amazing." about Babe Tenda Feeding Table

denebeau — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 16:35:57 GMT

Babee Tenda feeding tables feature wheeled legs, an adjustable seat that reclines and turns around so that when your child is old enough they can still sit in the babee tenda table and eat at the "grown up" table. The legs are adjustable as well and unlike most high chairs which feature a "triangle" shape to them Babee Tenda is a square, with the legs at each corner, so there's no way your child can fall out of the chair. When your child is old enough you can insert a dry erase table top or a chalkboard table top so that your child has a play table. Definitely multi functional and long lasting. A little pricey from the manufacturer, but well worth it. You'll use it for years....

brnd1968 says "I love the pattern and the style, but the tray slants." about Graco High Chair-Windsor

brnd1968 — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 20:14:28 GMT

The Graco Windsor High Chair is a style I am very fond of. It is very easy to adjust, very light, and I love that it came with two tray inserts to help facilitate clean up. The ONLY drawback to this chair is that the tray slants AWAY from the seated child.This was not so much of a hassle while my son was just using finger foods, but now, when he uses bowls, cups, and plates, you can imagine the issue with his food constantly sliding away from him. I have since found out,through contacting Graco, that this kind of slant is built into the product. WTH?? They told me to take a picture of the slant and send it to him so they could see if it was too much of a slant. Anyway, this model is in limited supply new, as newer styles have taken over. If you happen to be considering this particular highchair, don't think that the slant won't be a bother....it will....

MarsSoup says "This is the exact high chair I was hoping for!!" about Eddie Bauer Natural Wood High Chair

MarsSoup — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 06:25:06 GMT

When I visualized the high chair I wanted for my baby, it was made of natural wood, and it had more than one surface to use (to avoid cleaning over and over if time was short). The Eddie Bauer Natural Wood High Chair fit these qualities and was so beautiful and sturdy, I had to look no further. I did take a peek at the others on the market and still found I was most happy with this high chair. After getting plenty of use with our first son, it spent probably one full year in the storage shed between children and was still like new when we needed it again! I would've expected the wood to react to the outdoors (even under shelter) but it was exactly the same, and the seat cover holds up very well wash after wash. There are 3 surfaces to use, if need be... so the cleaning can wait until evening rather than during precious play time with the baby! Underneath the seat, there is a generous shelf to store bibs, wipes or anything just smaller than a breadbox! In short, I love timeless,......

juliemorgan02 says "The Bumbo is a great idea, but NOT good for chubby babies!" about Bumbo Baby Seat Baby Sitter

juliemorgan02 — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 02:20:03 GMT

We got one of these at a local thrift store for an amazing SIX dollars! (Name brand even.) I was so excited, I couldn't wait to get it home (clean it) and try it out on our three month old. So... we got home, I cleaned it, waited until he was in a good mood, and put him into it. Well, PUT isn't the right word, I wedged him into it really. He loved the seat, but only for about 5 minutes, which was a good start, and when I went to pick him back up, I actually had to stand on the seat while lifting him up. We tried it maybe three more times, and it didn't go well. The last time I used it, I actually had to have my husband help me pry the baby out of it! (I had just needed a place to set him while I went potty and my husband was cooking) We got rid of it that day. I have heard all sorts of good things about it, but it just really didn't work for me...

By the way, my son was born large, 11 pounds even, and at three months he was just shy of 20 pounds.

LACANA72 says "Great for growing babies!" about Evenflo Easy Fold

LACANA72 — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 14:27:48 GMT

This high chair is a great buy. We got it because it is very multifunctional and will grow with the kids. It is height adjustable, has a saftey harness that is exapandable. It also comes with two trays. Right now we are using it with the small built in tray, because he is just not tall enough yet to use the other tray which snaps onto the smaller tray. it comes padded and the seat cushion is removable and cleanable. It comes with two holes which you can insert toys into. Nice colors too!...

boiplzwuteva says "Colorful, fun, baby loves it!" about Fisher Price Rainforest High Chair

boiplzwuteva — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 07:37:12 GMT

I love this highchair! Aside from the fact that it fits into Aiden's jungle theme, it's super functional. It has 7 height positions, reclines, has a removable tray, and a lights-and-sounds toy for the tray top to distract little man while I'm getting his food ready. There's also a rig on the back to hold the tray or toy while the other is in use. It's also very cushy and comfortable, so much that my son actually fell asleep in the reclined position last night for about 30 minutes. It's a great buy!...

ericajb says "better than any other high chair i've seen" about Peg Perego Prima Papa High Chair

ericajb — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 02:53:41 GMT

I had many choices in high chairs and ofcourse, I had many suggestions from friends and family too. I selected the Peg Perego Prima Papa High Chair because, compared to the rest, it was durable and easy to clean. My son loved the rocking feature and it let myself and my husband get through our meals! It doesn't have a fabric inserted cushion that you have to wash over and over again, it has a very comforable vinyl seat that is easy and quick to wipe clean. The seat is also removeable for those really messy, drippy meals, or if you just want to clean it out really well. We used it for our son and our friend used it for her son and it stil looks brand new except for the Peg Perego emblem on the front of the tray which rubbed off within the first few months. Not like I needed the emblem there anyway!!

True, this is not the cheapest high chair out there and I am a bargain shopper but I also look at what I get for what I spend. I think that the Peg Perego Prima Papa High Chair is definitely...

jbauerhouse says "FP Space Saver is the best high chair available" about Fisher-Price Space Saver High Chair

jbauerhouse — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 19:58:00 GMT

The Fisher Price Space Saver high chair is by far the best high chair I've encountered. I have two standard highchairs and a hippo hook-on chair I use at restaurants (this is a great portable/carry-along chair).

The Space Saver takes up no floorspace, fits in any dining chair/stool I've tried, reclines and sits upright, has adjustable seat heights, is easy to clean and is very durable.

The only con I have is that the vinyl seat cover appears to stain with some foods. I may try a magic eraser at some point to see if that takes out the stain....

laurava says "not worth it - keep looking!" about Chicco Polly High Chair

laurava — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 19:25:00 GMT

I purchased this high chair after researching various brands and found that this brand came highly recommended. I was also looking for a chair that folded up compactly. I am currently on my second child and I sold this high chair when my second child was 11 months old. I really grew to dislike this chair. The recline option is great for when they are super little (under six months - but you're not supposed to feed them before then anyway) Once they start sitting up by themselves, the chair does not really allow them to sit upright. I had to put towels in behind the cushions so my kids wouldn't slouch in the seat - even with the towels they still seems to slouch. I have a friend who has this same chair and she complained about the same problem. I also dislike the way that food gets trapped in the seam of the tray, and that you can't really submerse the tray for cleaning (it fills up with water.) On the plus side, I have found that the straps come out looking like new when thrown in with......

deej4him says "This high chair is the best one we've ever used." about The First Years The First Year's Newborn to Toddler Reclining Feeding Seat

deej4him — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 17:41:05 GMT

We found out that we were expecting our 4th child and needed either a new high chair or a new pad for the one we currently had. We were very limited on space and had heard about the space saver high chairs. However they were quite pricey at around $50. We were at our local Target when we saw The First Years Newborn to Toddler Reclining Feeding Seat. It was reasonable priced at $29 and was much smaller than the other space saver high chairs. We purchased it and have been very pleased. Our baby is now 14 months and still loves this chair. The chair pad is easy to remove and wash. The tray is great for when we need extra space at the table and can be put aside and the chair used as a booster seat when she wants to sit at the table like a big girl. We were able to recline it when she was a baby for the first feedings. It is also very light weight and can be taken with you very easily. I wouldn't suggest taking it to a restaurant but it is perfect for taking it to Grandma's. ......

LMC618 says "Eddie Bauer High Chair is a value for the price" about Eddie Bauer Natural Wood High Chair

LMC618 — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 21:01:41 GMT

I love the Eddie Bauer Natural Wood High Chair. We bought this high chair for our son and i think it is a great value for the price. It is wonderfully sturdy, you don't have to worry about how long it will hold up like the plastic high chairs. It is very attractive to have in your home alongside normal dining/kitchen table. It is easy to clean. The chair cushion wipes clean with a damp soapy cloth. It also has a shelf underneath for bibs which I love. The only down side is that the straps to keep your child safely fastened in is not easy to clean because it is attached and my little one always has food everywhere. I love this and I will also be using it for my daughter....

kmg1992 says "The Graco Contempo High Chair is a great highchair for the price" about Graco Contempo High Chair

kmg1992 — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 20:55:58 GMT

I was a happily nursing mom until my four and a half month old started cutting teeth. The doctor said my daughter was above average for size and weight and as such recommended that I put off "real" food until at least six months of age. When that day arrived I was sadly ill prepared to purchase my high chair. My husband and I were dead set on getting a slick wooden number that would last through the multiple children that we intend on having. After much research we opted to give up the dream and try a nice reliable Graco (we have the car seat stroller and swing all in this brand and have not been disappointed). I finally opted to try the Graco Contempo. I have been using this chair for just over a month and have been pleasantly suprised. it folds up to an amazingly small size, has a dishwashable tray and the chair can be raised or lowered for both your and the babies comfort. Some reviewers have claimed that it was hard to assemble and honestly I am quite confused my came preassembled......
