Cute, but awkward design
By Danielle Rene
There were no reviews on Amazon.com, but I found some on Target. A few were negative, but most people recommended this high chair, so we thought we'd give it a try. We just put it together and liked the overall look to it, however, there is one major problem. There is a piece (non-removable without taking apart the high chair) under the tray that keeps the baby from falling through the bottom, but the space between that piece and the back is so small (about 8-10 inches,) we couldn't get our 9-month-old daughter into the high chair! She had straightened her legs and went stiff so we couldn't bend them, but even if she went limp, it would have been a challenge. They probably designed it that way so the tray would sit closer to the baby, preventing food from falling into their lap, but if they moved that piece forward by a couple of inches, it would be so much easier and still allow the tray to sit close. Also, the wood scratches fairly easily, so we weren't sure how great it would look after a couple of months of use. A nice thing about the chair though is that the height is perfect for sitting with the baby and feeding them. We were so excited to get this, so it was very disappointing that it doesn't work for us.A side note: The return policy says that you can only return unopened merchandise. The customer service rep told me that it doesn't apply to this. We were a little concerned when we decided to return it since we obviously had opened the box :)

Able to work for us, has some flaws
By John'sGirl
I purchased this for my 17-month old after our old high chair broke. I was looking for something that could be used as a high chair and then later at the table when she gets a little bigger. I also wanted something that would be easy to keep clean. We purchased this about 4 months ago.The best feature is the plastic tray. The wooden tray stays attached and the plastic tray can be easily snapped on and off as needed. It is very easy to clean. I don't understand the point of tray liners that a lot of chairs come with. What baby eats neat enough that you only need to clean the middle of the tray? You also don't have to worry about a baby figuring out how to throw this off like many of them do when they have a tray liner.As the first reviewer states, there is a definite problem with getting an infant or toddler into the chair with the tray attached. There is a strap that attaches from the tray and fits into an opening in the seat. The problem is that the strap is only long enough to reach the seat when the seat is placed in one of the first two slats in the chair and it is absolutely impossible to fit an older baby into the seat like that. The strap is just barely too short to reach the seat while in the third slat. We were able to make it work by placing the seat in the third slat and attaching a zip tie between the strap and the plastic piece the strap is supposed to attach to under the seat. It is not at all noticeable and the strap is still securely attached to the chair this way.I'd also agree with the previous review that the finish on the wood is easily damaged. I've used a dark brown permanent marker on the spots where the finish scratched off and smeared it before it could dry. No one would be able to find those spots unless they were really looking for them. However, it does make me doubt the chair's ability to last the number of years to manufacturer claims it can.The chair also comes with a pad that is covered with canvas. I'm not sure why they thought this was a good idea. It was constantly getting food stuck on it and was obviously tough to keep clean. I replaced this with a pad from the Boon chair (what I'd get if I had to do it again!) and now it works great. The original pad was attached to the chair with velcro that was stapled to the chair. Luckily, I was able to get the staples out with no problem.The chair also has a harness system that eventually became more hassle than it was worth. It was very tough to get my hands in there to buckle it up and there was no way for my little one to crawl out with the tray attached and with the way the alternate pad fits in there. Also, she is never unsupervised in her chair so I don't worry about her going anywhere. Once we remove the tray and put her at the table I'm sure we'll be back to using the straps again. Another problem with the straps is that they are designed to just hang off the back of the seat & it does not look nice at all. Since we replaced the pad with one that was designed to have the straps placed through it, we were able to *barely* squeeze the straps through the new pad and it looks much better that way.This chair has a great tray and can grow with a child to sit at a table. There are some big flaws, but we were able to get it to work for us.

DON'T BUY THIS DANGEROUS HIGHCHAIR!
By Amanda
This highchair is extremely dangerous. Please don't buy this! My mom purchased this chair for my daughter as a gift. I do really like the look of it and the ability to grow with the child, but this chair has major safety issues not to mention the cosmetic problems. My daughter was 11 months old when we got this and was able to get out of the straps in 5 seconds flat. They are completely useless and difficult to buckle in the first place. After only having this chair for two weeks, the plastic tray latch snapped off and the chair was scratched up just from normal use. The seat cover got dirty and fell apart after washing it one time. But none of this compares to the major issue. Because the straps don't work, my daughter has been sliding out the front of the seat on a regular basis. Most of the time she just gets halfway down and we lift her back up and move on. A little annoying, but not a huge deal. Yesterday she slid the whole way down to her neck and got stuck. I tried to pull her up and down and I couldn't get her to budge either way due to the chair's narrow design and the fact that the tray and leg pieces are screwed in. So, she was hanging there by her neck and I had to break those pieces to get her out before she got seriously hurt. It was so scary. This safety issue could be eliminated if the piece that goes between the legs connected to the seat. Instead there is a gap allowing enough room for a child to slide through. PLEASE do not buy this highchair if you value your child's life!
