Easily the best baby item we've purchased. No regrets. HIGHLY recommended.
By Amanda P.
This chair is amazing. It is the one item we both agree is completely irreplaceable. Both sets of grandparents have different chairs at their houses for when we visit and I always end up cursing them, wishing the Boon was with us.THE PROS:For one, it's a snap to clean. I can't even imagine how much time and work it must take out of a parent's day to clean other highchairs 4-5 times a day. With this one, you seriously just wipe it down like you do your kitchen table.Then there's the wheels - the mobility you get with this chair is AWESOME. We move this chair all around the house. It's nice to be able to keep the babe nearby when I just have to run into another room for a few minutes and I need to be hands-free. Or, when I need to use the bathroom. The brake is super stable so there's no need to worry about the kid rolling away or, when they start walking - pushing it around.I like the height of the tray. Nearly every other chair we tried had the trays set way too high - at chest level. Would you want to eat at a table that came up that high?? This one is set lower so your baby can reach and see everything. (IMO, this is why one reviewer said their kids make more messes on the floor in this chair - because they can reach their food! But I don't think it's right to strap a kid down in a chair with a table up to their chins, preventing them from moving their arms freely and exploring their food.)And lastly, in addition to its functionality, it's got a very sleek, retro/space age design that SCREAMS "cool". "That is the COOLEST chair I've ever seen! Where did you get it??" I can't even count the number of times we've heard this from friends and family. The design speaks for itself. It is just so cool.THE CONS:We don't have any complaints, but I guess if I had to come up with something it would be the pneumatic feature. However, even if it worked properly we wouldn't need it - it's really no problem to just pull or push the chair into place. Since we haven't found a pressing need to move her up and down, I suppose the enormous weight of the chair (and the price, probably) could be lessened if this feature were removed. That said, we actually really love that the base is heavy. And it is HEAVY. But it makes us feel more sure of its safety. Some of the highest-rated chairs looked and felt too lightweight and flimsy to us so we actually sought out a sturdier, heavier chair.(My one other [very recently discovered and minor] complaint: That fact that Boon didn't have the Cherry Red color available when we bought ours.)COMMENTS ON OTHER REVIEWS:*Regarding the tray size - We have never felt the tray was too small. Sure, you can't fit big toys on there and too many toys get crowded and fall off but highchairs are primarily for eating, not playing. We removed the tray insert for a little more space (and fewer things to clean) but all of our dishes - adult and baby dishes - fit on the tray just fine.*Regarding tray insertion & removal - I'm surprised that some people claim they need two hands to work the tray lever. Compared all the other chairs we looked at this was BY FAR the easiest tray to work with one-handed.*Regarding the "foot rest" - I don't think it *is* a footrest. I think it's just design. *shrugs**Regarding crotch and belly tightness - Our kiddo has been 99%-tile for height and weight since day one and has never had a problem fitting in the chair.*Regarding safety - The reviews saying it's a dangerous product or that you can't use it with a squirmy child are outrageous. Ours dances and kicks and twists and boogies all the time and it never once looked like it was going to topple. There have been the occasional attempts to get out but so far no luck. And we don't even use the harness. The tray, when inserted properly, is very stable and enough to keep our squirmer in.BOTTOM LINE:We love this chair. Our kid loves this chair. It is perfect for our needs and it was worth every penny.

Easy to clean but not self clean.
By Westin C. Anderson
This chair is so easy to clean, but if you want it to look that way, then you actually have to clean it. lol. I have the white one with the orange seat and i have to admit the white does look stained after my son eats spaghetti or anything red on it. What i do to clean it is 1.) wipe it down with a washcloth, 2.) spray "Clorox clean up spray" and just let it soak till the chair and tray look white again (couple minutes). Then rinse off the spray.. You should do that anyway to sanitize the tray.I clean the tray in the sink.Not when its still on the chair. "Note" the Orange pad does not get stained with the bleach. I have sprayed it multiple times and have never lost any color. Still looks great.It is a great chair. Since the tray is lower and closer to his waist than his chest, it makes it very hard for him to get out. Its impossible since he doesn't have enough leg room to move his leg up and around the tray. This i love! haha. My sister in law has a chair and the tray is almost to his face. Maybe it makes it easy to shovel the food in his face but my son can get out of it since he can bend his knees and then stand up.I have permanently removed the straps since my son has never attempted to get out and wouldn't be able to anyway. This way i can take the orange pad to clean it after every meal.I have a very very small apt and love this chair, since the footprint is very small and its circular so its easy to just go around it.Its true the tray is small but we have little plates that we bought and never had a problem. I love that it fits in my sink. And i have a small double sink, not a large one.

Good, but not perfect
By Gabriel Elkaim
We ordered the Boon Flair after trying out the Oxo Sprout for a few months. Neither of these high-end highchairs are perfect, which is disappointing considering their price range, but both have their benefits. We decided to keep the Boon for the following reasons:* The Boon is much better on hardwood or laminate floors. After dragging the Sprout back and forth between kitchen counter and table many times, our floor is now covered in streaks (tho not scratches.) I know this could have been fixed with better padding on the legs, but for the price of the Sprout, I expected more. The Boon's wheels let us move it back and forth effortlessly and cleanly.* The Boon adjusts in height. This is great if you're using it to feed your kid at different eating surfaces, e.g. kitchen counter and table as mentioned above. Our table also has wings, which made it too thick for us to push the Sprout up close, even without the tray on. On its lowest height, the Boon slides right under the edge of the table, which makes it feel much more like our kid is sitting and eating at the table with us.However, the Sprout is a stronger chair on a couple of points:* The Sprout has a much bigger and easier-to-use tray. It pulls out with a simple catch release, whereas the Boon requires you to slide the catch to the side before pulling. You then have to fit the two flanges on the side into the corresponding holes, which is slightly tricky and harder to do one-handed. I do however like the two tray liners that come with the Boon, which can be removed and put in the dishwasher. Basically if you use the Boon tray insert like a plate, you can get around the size limitations of the tray.* The Boon tray is set very high and close in to the kid. Our kid is pretty skinny (4th percentile), and his belly hits the tray on the biggest setting. He also drags his sleeves in his food ALL the time, since it's so close to him. So I can see why other reviewers have complained that the chair is too small for their kids. On the other hand, our eleven year old niece sat in it comfortably without the insert, so obviously it will grow with him, just minus the tray.* The Sprout has a much smaller footprint. The base of the Boon is massive, which I guess it has to be in order to keep it from tipping over. But to my mind it detracts from the cool streamlined, space-age appeal of the chair.* Superficially, I prefer the overall aesthetics of the Sprout to the Boon, though my husband feels otherwise. Plus I felt a lot better about paying ~$225 for a nice wooden chair than one made out of simple molded plastic.In the end we are keeping the Boon, and the Sprout went to grandma's house. Both are good fits for where they ended up: her chair gets used less often, and it's on a carpeted floor with a higher table, which is perfect for the Sprout. Ours is constantly in use throughout the kitchen and dining room, which have bamboo laminate on them.Like I said though, neither is perfect. If I could put the top of the Sprout on the Boon hydraulic/wheeled set-up, it might be close. It's ironic that we can put a man on the moon but still haven't designed the perfect high chair...
