Do NOT Buy This!!!!
By Kayla Campobasso
Biggest piece of junk ever! If I had known this was made by "Dream On Me" I would have never ordered it in the 1st place. I took a chance bc the reviews, though few, we're decent and I had a smaller budget.. NEVER again. I can honestly say it was the most frustrating, annoying, borderline infuriating purchase. This box was open when I got it. I pulled out the PIECES, saw "Dream On Me" on the instructions and thought oh no, but maybe it won't be a disaster, wrong again. The instructions were the worst set I've ever read, the pins you use to slide the legs together were broken so I had to fish them out from inside the chair legs and rig them with pliers to get it together. I should have stopped right there.. Bottom line:The seat is too deep, making the tray almost at my daughters neck. I had to fold a towel for her to sit on to make her fit. She's 6 Mo, 20lbs and 27 inches, so she's not too small.The seat in its upright position is still basically reclined, she cried and was so uncomfortable. I would have had to put something behind her back too.NOT sturdy, the seat is flimsy, tray is also pretty heavy as well as the chair itself. Takes up a LOT of room and does not move around easily, even though it has wheels on the back legs!I decide, immediately to send it back but then I can't get the stupid thing apart. My boyfriend and dad both tried as well and there's no way, those stupid pins won't work. I went out that night and bought the Graco Contempo, LOVE it!!!! PERFECT Highchair =)!! I talked to an Amazon rep on the live chat, they gave me a refund but I had to explain to him about 30 times that I could not take it apart to fit in the box, but he didn't understand me and kept avoiding an answer.. Hopefully UPS will take it as is, if not it's going in the garbage.

Works well for us despite imperfections.
By Jessica Richardson
I purchased this highchair for my daughter about a year ago and it has worked well for us with a few caveats. The seat sits quite low in comparison to the large removable tray, and my daughter is quite small. At one year it is usable but still a bit high for her. This being said, there is a built-in small tray (also removable) at a much better height on the chair for use when the large tray is unattached. I find myself omitting the large tray altogether as this small tray is sufficient for a child who is self-feeding small bits with constant parental supervision, and I like the fact that I can get closer to her or pull her nearer to the table without the bulky tray attached. Besides, it is much easier just to wipe down the little tray than deal with cleaning the larger one. Also, it is great that when the small tray is removed you can pull the chair right up to the table (keeping the kid strapped in, of course). I do predict that as my daughter grows and eats more heartily that both this feature and the removable tray will prove much more useful.I did purchase this chair largely because of the way it looked, but when I received the chair I was slightly disappointed because it seemed bulkier and less elegant in person, especially when the large tray is removed, exposing shiny plastic and lots of very visible shiny screw heads. The straps are absurdly long and the locks are very cheap looking, but they are on a swivel to eliminate twisty strap syndrome and their simplicity makes them easy to keep clean. The seat reclines smoothly and easily with a one-handed squeeze of the release on the back of the chair. The chair is still very big when folded and does have a large footprint when opened, but it is quite sturdy and practically impossible to tip over. The wheels are handy, as is the height adjustment feature. Our family sometimes eats in the living room in front of a movie, and it is really great to be able to wheel the chair across the house, put the baby in her chair and have her be at the same height as her parents on the sofa.Overall this chair has served us well and I would purchase it again, despite its shortcomings.

I like this highchair but it has a few cons.
By Young Mother of two and proud of them
I bought this highchair for my unborn son so i have no review on its functionality yet. However just from the physical review, this chair has pros and cons:Pros:Is very fashionable. The print and design were exactly what I wanted.It was very easy to put together, it took all of 15 min.It is light so its easy to move around.The manufacture description was spot on.Cons:It has very little padding in the seat.The dishwasher safe removable cover on the tray is hard to removeThe fabric looks easy to clean but it is very rough. Almost like plastic canvasThe harness straps have no protective padding and have stiff, sharp edges to them.Hope this helps!!EDITOne year later...Everything previous still stands,however I have a new note to add. The seat is too low. My son is above average in size and he has trouble reaching anything on the tray. I had to put a pillow in the seat to raise him up a bit.The manufacturer should try to make the seat a little more cusomizable/adjustable.
