I bought this high chair for my daughter when she was about 6 months old. I thought it was a good compromise because it seemed to have a lot of features that pricier high chairs but not the high price tag. Overall it serves the purpose well. She can sit in it comfortably and eat, but there are a few things that would make it easier to use. The straps are hard to adjust and once adjusted can get twisted easily and I never know if they are going to fit around her or be too tight each time I put her in it. Also, when I move it, even if it is locked in the open position it seems to want to close up. The smaller snack tray doesn't come off, which isn't a problem now but may be when my daughter gets bigger. Once she's in and straped in it's fine, but it is kind of hard getting her settled especially when she is hungry and doesn't want to wait for me to fix the straps!

My main complaint about this highchair is that the shoulder straps & chest clip cannot be adjusted to fit children properly. Maybe they could be used for a large toddler but not for my tall 6 mo old. I don't like paying for something that I can't use properly.

Besides that it is a decent chair. Would I make this purchase again? No.

I originally was looking at a Chicco highchair assuming it would be a higher quality highchair because of the price and the brand. Since I am an online a shopper I only had online images to go off of. I finally physically saw one at the store and it wasn't nearly as good as it boasted. This high chair was displayed next to it and looked just as good as the Chicco but for half the price! The tray was as large as any I've seen, the seat cover is high quality and cleans VERY easily. The tray is nice and big. I love the tray cover and both it and the tray are slick and food rinses right off of it. The straps fit a little long over the shoulder but you can safety pin them together in the back and they fit just fine. My escape artist child is unable to wriggle out of it and fits great in it with enough space to grow for awhile. The recline and height adjustments work very easily and it stows great (small enough to take in your trunk if needed). The net under the highchair seat is great for holding bibs and washcloths for clean up and I love the locking wheels. Do yourself a favor and don't spend more than you have to! Get this high chair and you'll love it too!

I love this high chair. It's reasonably priced, easy to clean, and has a cute pattern on the chair pad. What else do you need? I don't need it to make my toast in the morning or anything so I didn't see a need in spending $100 or so on a more expensive one.

People in other reviews have complained that the straps are too big. I would say they're a little bulky, but I wouldn't call them big. It's a high chair. The baby is going to be in there a few times a day for 30 minutes or so at a time so it's not like he has to live in it.

I bought this chair for my9mo old son and I really like it. I like the fact that the whole seat reclines as oppsoed to just the back reclining..as my graco high chair did. My only real complaint was assembly...i swear i had to take it a part 3 time before i got it right lol..but that may have just been my error. Would deff reccomend this chair to any new mom. The straps are not really an issue for me..they are not to loose but not real tight either..i doubt he wld fall out...theres a leg bar and the tray that keeps him from faling foward and the side straps are good enugh to where he wont fall out on the side.
all in all its a great buy!!

This chair isn't the best I've seen, but it's not too bad for the price. One of my biggest complaints is, like other reviewers noted, the shoulder straps are WAY too long. The waist belt fits fine (even on my very skinny little 14 month old), but the shoulder belts, when tightened all the way, still have several inches of slack. You can only adjust so far before the little adjustment slider buckles reach the chest buckle. It would have been better if you could adjust from the back of the seat. I have solved this problem by attaching a clip on each strap on the back, so I can pull the slack out the back and then keep it there. My other major complaint is that while the tray is supposed to be one-handed, I find that it doesn't move smoothly at all compared to every other high chair I've used. I have to jiggle it back and forth a lot before it finally clicks into one of the three settings, and sometimes I have to use both hands to pull it out. I agree with the other reviewer that the snack tray is a little inconvenient for putting the child in and taking them out, but it doesn't bother me too much. Otherwise, the chair isn't bad. The pad is all vinyl on the front (but not the back), and is easy to clean. The 7 height adjustments and 3-position seat recline are nice to have and I haven't had an issue with them locking in place. It folds up fairly slim, and stands upright. And I find the design very cute and simple, which I like. If you need an inexpensive chair with features like height adjustments, folding for storage, dishwasher-safe tray insert, etc. it's not a bad choice.

For all intensive purposes, it does the job. The belts are huge though. The waist belt is fine, but he shoulder belts can not be adjusted small enough for my baby who just started on solids and I can't imagine them fitting any time soon. I'm very disapointed. The main tray is easily removable..not sure what the posts about that are all about.

I recently bought this for my 8 month old. My husband started to put it together but the adjusting seat pegs would not lock and it kept sliding down. No way I was putting my son in that. I returned it.

I just got my chair delivered today, it was very easy to put together, I looooooove the print, the colors are awesome, nice soft earth tones, the chair pad is plush and looks very comfortable, it is wipeable and machine washable; the chair is sturdy, definitely looks like it can hold a 50 lb child, which puts me at ease... (don't want the chair coming down on my baby) love the extra storage, love how it cradles my baby when completely reclined. I'd say it's a great buy!

I am taking it back right now. There are supposed to be a right and a left height adjuster part. I have two left parts and no right. Nice. If the company cannot get the right parts into the box, I am hardly putting my confidence into the entire products manufacturing.
