Chicco Polly Highchairs

Chicco Polly never again!! – Honestly I thought spending top dollar would mean top quality.. I couldn’t be more wrong.. I bought the chicco Polly for $320 plus postage I have used it for about 6 months with my daughter who is now 15 months old .. the chair is soo difficult to clean plus the cover is by far the worst design, you can wipe one side which is fine although you can… Read more

not wash the cover at all and the other side of the cover is completely mouldy and stained !! It runs a huge health risk for my daughter! Food and liquid gets under the cover due to poor design, as I said you can’t wash it due to the material .. I contacted chicco asking to send me 2 replacement covers.. they responded with a No as it’s wear and tear and that I have to buy a cover for $95!!! How can it be wear and tear when they designed it so it CANT be cleaned!!!! So I spend $320 plus postage for the high chair and now they expect me to spend $95 every 6 months for a new cover?!!! I could not be more unhappy and have learnt to NEVER spend top dollar as it does not mean quality! Plus their curstomer service is awful. Very unhappy

I hate this thing – Should have done my research! Lots and lots of reviews out there outlining how hard this thing is to clean!!! Nightmare!! I hate it soo much the food gets stuck everywhere! The stupid tray doesn't go in close enough so all dropped food goes straight down the sides. I'm so glad I brought this secondhand I would be mega sad if I paid full price. Do yourself a favour and get a full plastic seat that you can add your own padding to.

I Hate Cleaning This Comfortable Chair – Great padding and comfort for baby, love the tray insert but too many areas food get stuck it, the padding stitching is deep so food gets stuck in there, food gets stuck on side of chair, good gets under padding - did I mention there are two layers of padding. I take the damn chair outside to hose it down cause I spend so much time getting food out of it. Do yourself a favor and buy an easy to clean chair.

Great highchair – I have used this with my bub since 3 months due to the wonderful 3 position incline, as he loves to be up at our level when we're preparing dinner or sitting at the table, especially as I was not keen on placing the bumbo on the table. Good also in case your little one falls asleep at dinner time! Height adjustability is also a godsend with… Read more

this chair- doesnt matter if we're standing up, at the dinner table, on the lounge, of even on the floor, it suits all purposes.

Parent tray to keep items/food out of the destruction zone and the child tray has two tops on it -easy to clean the main course off one while bubs eats finger food for dessert of the other :-)

Good quality 5point harness and when tray is locked in also, theres no way to escape.

Just a hint, if you got a light coloured harness with the chair, another $30. Spent on a navy replacement will save your sanity!

I do wonder about crotch room for the not so little boys however, there seems to be three adjustment points to how close the tray is, but I wonder if then the older child would need to be awkwardly postured to eat from the tray?

Love the bright colourful range, cushiony padding (no joke, my bubba did sleep in it - it also helped with staying inclined after a feed for his reflux!), and wipe clean fabric..

Height adjustablecand angle adjustable (up-down) adds the baby's comfort.

Handy mesh bag at back to keep the bits and pieces in.

Honestly, i love it!

Expensive investment

Not worth the money – After reading a number of bad reviews of this product, I was convinced it was the best on the market by the shop assistant and the price (still thinking you get what you pay for....). Unfortunately, despite a number of good points, the bad far outweigh the good and after 6 months of use, I wish I could return it and get my money back. Height… Read more

adjustable, sturdy design, good customer support (which is important as Ive already had 2 warranty claims in 6 months), appropriate safety straps, supportive cushion for when baby younger Far too hard to clean (something I convinced myself I could cope with despite the many bad reviews about this but its just way way too hard!) - so many nooks and crannies and creases in the tray where food can get caught, poor fabric on seating which split after only 4 months of use (I was told by customer service my baby must be too heavy for the seating), small bolts hanging out of legs which are a risk to little hands/mouths, poor brakes despite being on all four wheels can still move the chair when they're on, expensive,

Love this highchair!!! – We have been using this lovely high chair since we bought it. My daughter seems very happy with this chair. She can rest her little feet on the foot rest. Love the fact of this chair has been comfortable padded. Cleaning does not bother me, I'd clean as soon as she finish her meal, it is just a matter or qucik wipe down before the food get dried… Read more

and do a good clean after she is down for the night. It does get a bit hot for her during summer to sit in the chair.

Had to mention the little toys comes with the highchair, my daughter's absolute favorite is the little whale which make water bubbling sound when pressed, she can spend hours playing with it alone. She tries to bite it as hard as she can to make the sound comes out and get excited about it. A separate try on top, easy to wipe clean. Bright buttons for all functioning parts. Has lovely toys come with the high chair, keep the baby entertained during meal time. The tray is a bit too big to wash over sink or in dishwasher. The cover of the chair is not breathable, baby can get overheated in hot Summer days.

Love my Polly! – Bought from Amazon and imported to New Zealand, I absolutely love this high chair. The current rage in NZ are the mocka wooden high chairs but I find my polly is so adaptable, I've used it for 2 years now. My daughter used it from solid till sitting at the table with us. She would still be using it had her brother not come along. He now has his… Read more

solids next to us at the table, I can click a button and he then can recline for a top up of his bottle. Because of the angel he holds his own bottle (5 months old).

Cleaning can be difficult, but I have a steam mop with detachable nozzle which keeps the chair spotless and chemical free. :)

Highly recommend! :)

Great swing for outdoors – The swing has a shade cover which is great- means you can put bubs in the swing and they can watch you do the gardening/hanging out clothes without being in direct sunlight. There are four different swing speeds. There are 5 different sounds/music- have only used two of the options though. You can fold the legs to kept out of the way when not in… Read more

use. Battery lasts a long time. Swinging action, shade cover and music swinging action turns off after about 20 mins

Wonderful high chair that is great from little baby to toddler – We have had a Chicco Polly High Chair for 4 years now and loved it. It still looks and works perfectly and has been used every day. It has been a great and very colorful addition to our dining room and we have had lots of compliments about how great it looks. It is very easy to use and our two children have both been very comfortable and happy… Read more

using it. The double layered seat cover is great too as it makes the chair very easy to transition from baby to toddler. I would recommend it to anyone. Great looking with many features. Tray is very easy to remove with just one hand. Can be fiddly to clean but the straps are removable as is everything else, so when you give it an all over clean it is easy to do.

Expensive and not designed well – Chair padding cracks easily, tray is bulky and food and water can enter the tray. You have to unscrew the top and bottom of the tray to give it a good clean. Crutch plate (which is attached to the tray) doesn't let you put the tray down flat, very annoying as have to remove everything off the tray. Wheels cratch wooden floors easily. Frame is highly adjustable Padding cracks over time so unhygienic, tray not designed well

Great Colours!! – I bought this high chair for my daughter as I fell in love with the colours. At $299.00 from Baby Bunting I do regret buying it as I don't use any of its features. The parent tray was annoying so we never used it, we only use it in upright position and have never used the full recline. Our daughter is not one to fall asleep in her high chair as… Read more

I have heard of other babies doing. The high chair has lots of crevices to clean and it can be a little annoying. I am always scared of scrubbing it in case I damage it! Folds well and it does look great. I regret the purchase over all as we could have done with an Ikea chair for about $25 that would have done the job! Love the colours Expensive, hard to clean

Terrible...waste of money! – I have the matching Polly Highchair to this swing which I love and have had no problems with but the swing is terrible the set position is too high and I have never put my daughter in because he head flops forward. Considering the price of the swing pretty poor! The look and colours! The position of the seat!

Great for little ones with hip dysplasia – I love this highchair. Its cushioned seat is comfy for bub and easily removed to be washed. It functions really well but it was also the only highchair that our son could fit in as he has hip dysplasia and had a brace and then plaster. We couldnt put the table top on while he was in the brace/plaster but at least he fit in it Comfy, easily cleaned and height adjustable. Wheels are not the best.

Pretty Good – We brought this highchair for our 6mth old almost 2yrs ago and are now using it with our 5mth old. I love how diverse it is with the lay down and the height adjustable seat. With the toy bar it's great to sit the baby in while cooking dinner and a large tray means it catches most food flicked by a toddler. It is quiet expensive and food often… Read more

falls down the sides hard to clean, but overall I'm happy with this highchair. Versatile Can be difficult to clean, expensive.

Hard to clean – Compared with other high chairs which are much cheaper in price I find the Chicco highchairs hard to clean. So much food gets stuck down the sides and underneath its really is unhygienic no matter how clean you are. It was fantastic as a chair until bub actually started to eat food in it. Also the tray is up very high so it was not until my bub… Read more

was 12 months old that he sat comfortably in the chair to eat. Nice chair for bubs before they are old enough to sit up Too difficult to clean, tray to high.

Comfortable and safe but hard to clean – I bought this high chair because I saw some online reviews and videos demonstrating the features of the chairs. I liked the idea that you could use if from a young age (recline mechanism means that you can use if from less than 6 months), that you could put the tray in the dishwasher, the tray can be pushed right up to the child to minimise mess,… Read more

it could be folded away and that there are a number of different heights you can use for the highchair.

The reality is:

I didn't use the recline mechanism as my son had very good head control when he started solids at 4 months.

I don't use the different heights

The tray is very large and difficult to get in the dishwasher

Pushing the tray into the child makes him uncomfortable Seems reasonably comfortable. The five point harness is effective in keeping the child in the highchair safely. It can be moved around the house easily, The chair is foldable. The chair can be pushed right into the table when the tray is removed. The highchair is quite expensive. The padding is very difficult to clean as it has quite a lot of nooks and crannies - you can't just hose it down like other cheaper chairs. The tray is very large and difficult to put in the dishwasher, you can't really have much more on the dishwasher shelf. I didn't find a need for many of the features that the highchair has (e.g. recline, different heights).

Not for us – My baby really doesn't like this swing. Think the seat is positioned wrong. It sits too upright and cannot be adjusted. It plays music and flashes lights but that is fixed onto the base of the swing so baby can't actually see the lights. Wouldn't recommend this to anybody wanting to buy a swing. Colors are bright Seat not adjustable

Good – I love this chair... It's practical, good quality and not too bulky!!! Its big enough to fit a very large 3 year old without a problem, and most importantly its REALLY easy to clean!!! I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a good quality highchair. I bought this chair before my son was born and i stsrted using it the day I… Read more

we came from the hospital!

All buttons and levers on the chair, that control moving parts, are orange making it user friendly.

Once folded, the chair stands unsupported making it really easy to store the chair in a corner when not being used.

The chair is light weight making it easy to move around, and also has various recling and height positions which make the chair really practical. Even though the chair has wheels it doesn't roll around very easily.

The chair is a bit expensive (I paid $329)

Excellent – Even though it is expensive, it is worth it. It's safe and sturdy. You can use it from newborn to 3 years. Takes up a small amount of space. I love the fact I can use it at the table. Quality workmanship, nothing on this chair is lose, rattly or can be wobbled. I am very happy that I paid what I did for this chair. Compact. You can use from… Read more

newborn up. Lightweight. Looks awfully comfy. Really easy to clean. Looks good! Sturdy. So easy to operate any part of the chair. When folded, stands without help, even on squishy carpet. Height adjustable. Reclines all the way back. Cover for the insert. The toy bar is easily pulled onto the baby, my daughter is 5 months old however so it would be fine for smaller babies. Expensive.

Good – This highchair has a lot of features that make it fun to use. It is suitable for a wide age range and has several different adjustment setting to accommodate this. Given the choice, I would buy this highchair again. I love this highchair! It has brakes on all 4 wheels and having just a couple of the brakes on is enough to stop my kids from pushing… Read more

baby around.

The two layers of padding on the seat, both of which are removable, allow you to still use the highchair if you are soaking the outer padding. You could also use it without the padding if you didn't want to clean little nooks and crannies.

It reclines, which I have used several times when baby has fallen asleep during dinner (because it really is that cushy and comfortable!). It has a little pocket at the back which I keep spare nappies, wipes and bibs in. Also, the serving tray has a removable insert which makes it really easy to clean! I have a model with a light colour strap - it only takes one bolognaise and then you have to scrub and soak the straps to try to get the stains out.If I were going to purchase again I would buy one with darker straps.

Hard on batterys and complete with own ghost – As a first time mother i saw all the baby swings out there and then saw what i thought was the queen of baby swings The Chicco Polly Swing Up. i liked the fact it was up high so i could have it in the kitchen while cooking and had a remote so i could turn on music ect from the counter without having to drop what i was doing every 5 minutes. So… Read more

the swing arrives my prayers have been answered but alas something that looked so perfect is not. To run the swing you need 1 D battery for the vibration function. 4 C batterys to run the swing and music. 2 AAA batterys for the remote. Add this to every other battery run childrens toy and i think we need to by stocks in duracell.

Baby likes the swing but the funny thing is even when we have turned it off, every 30 minutes or so the swing turns itself on again either the swinging motion or the music now its not really practical to remove the battery every time it is not in use. At a RRP of $279 i would like a product that stays off not comes back on. not at floor level, lots of sound variety takes up alot of room, mind of its own (turns on at random), Harness set up tricky to adjust

A really well thought out product that's really well made too! – We read reviews of this high chair here before buying one second hand on eBay. It is a seriously good high chair and I wouldn't fail to recommend it to anyone. The removable tray has a cover which makes it easy to clean, the seat has a really nice padding which is also really easy to clean. The colours are gorgeous and we bought replacement straps… Read more

easily from Chicco Aust. Our main reason for buying this chair was that we didn't want our daughter in a Bumbo on the table as it didn't feel stable enough and we were nervous about having her in a bouncer on the table while we ate dinner as well once she got a bit older, so we bought this chair so she could sit up and watch us while we ate dinner which made dinner time easier. The seat also nearly full reclines so we could have used it from about 3 months onwards. The other really good thing with it is that our 9 month old isn't standing up on her own yet and the tray design is such that it has a piece in the middle below which means for now we don't have to strap her in and she can just sit there (less hassle but still safe). Lastly, the harness is a proper 5-point one so she was always secure which was really good. It also has wheels that roll easily (all 4 and all of them lock) which means my husband wheels her around in the morning and she watches him get ready for work (time for Mum to eat breakfast!) Really easy to clean, lovely padded material, lots of flexibility, very stable, easy to buy replacement parts (e.g. straps) Price - yes, it is more costly than some but if you can find a good quality second hand one from eBay or on sale, go for it

Love it! – We loved this high chair - folds up nicely, tray stores on the rear legs when not in use and has two liners. It also has a great harness system that my daughter was never able to "escape" from and the seat itself reclines to different positions which was great for bottle feeds. The height adjustment settings meant we could sit her at the table… Read more

with us at meal times too. After sales service from Chicco Polly was also excellent. One of the liners split and was replaced via our place of puchase with verification. Good colours available too. see description A bit tricky to clean all the nooks and crannies at times.

Wish I had have bought one of these first! – The BEST high chair on the market! It has two lots of padding in it so it suits a littler baby and a toddler! I love that it can go up to the table at many differnt heights and the tray arms fold away to be able to put it right in close to the table. The footrest has lots of different options too that are really good, the height of the foot rest… Read more

can be ulterd and so can the angle! It is everything thyou will ever need in a highchair! I am so glad that I found it! has two liners, completely adjustable, can take the straps off to be cleaned completely. Hard to clean in all the little nooks and crannys, food hides under the liner and can be easily missed.

Good – Love it, love it, love it. I did a lot of research before buying this chair and both my daughter and I love it and find it easy to use. Lightweight and easy to move around. Height settings are great as it allows my daughter to sit up at bench level to watch me work in the kitchen. Nice big tray to keep food and drinks at a safe distance and… Read more

also big enough for plenty of toys and blocks to slap around while she is watching me work. Not to sure what the parent tray is really for...seems to be a bit of a gimmick. I use the useless bib holder / mesh bag to store the parent tray in...seems to be custom built for it. The other con is that my daughter loves to kick out the tray when I adjust the tray table to get her out of the chair. If I am not careful the tray will go flying! The only thing that I would change would be having a fixed hob (like F&P) onto the seat of the chair to stop her kicking out the tray. Other than that, the chair is definitely worth the money.

Very satisfied with this one! – I did lots and lots of research, read lots of reviews and debated over what high chair to purchase. I am very fussy and can honestly say that I am very happy with this chair. It is so easy to use, all adjustments are highlighted in orange. It is quite comfortable, the tray has several adjustments so you can get they tray nice and close to baby.… Read more

It has four wheels which make moving it around so easy. It is height adjustable and you can recline the chair so I was able to put my 4 month old in it. Easy to use, folds compactly, great size tray, very functional It is one of the more expensive high chairs but if you shop around you can save $$$

A Cleaning Nightmare – I have had this chair since bub was 4 months old, and she is now 12 months. I curse it every day. It must have been designed by people who never actually have to clean up after a baby's/toddler's mealtime. Its many features certainly make it versatile, but at the end of the day I just want a chair that is easy to use and clean. Food gets caught… Read more

everywhere, we have even had fruit flies hanging around it in Summer, even though I wipe it over after every use (i.e. five times a day). To clean it properly takes a good 5-10 minutes to take out the cushions, track down and dig out all the stray food, and put it back together. It is very good as a daytime dumping spot for young babies, but when it comes to its primary role as a feeding chair, I would not recommend it at all. We are going to buy a simple Ikea one instead, but we will keep this one for when the next baby is young. Folds away well and stands upright on its own. Good for very young babies as an infant seat. Many crevices for food to become caught in, hard to find and remove the food. Harness difficult to adjust quickly. Gets very hot for bub in warmer weather, non-breathable fabric. Tricky to put tray away at rear of chair. Difficult for baby to sit fully upright when tray in position, tends to put baby in semi-reclined position making it difficult to drink from a cup. Food gets caught in the join on the baby's side of the tray and you need a screwdriver and a spare 30 minutes to clean it out completely.

Excellent – I researched my choice and believe I picked the best high chair for my needs. It looks in tip top shape with my very first seem tear in the top padding just about a month ago. It has done my three children, full time for five years and all I would do is replace that top padding to pass on a great chair. Everything needs cleaning with kids. A… Read more

regular quarterly going over with a cloth. Straps through the washing machine and pullout and wipe down the padding. It is clean and hygenic all the time with just a little effort. It owes me nothing, so has been money well spent. Would recommend 100% I love my chicco polly! Even now after five years and three kids the same polly has done them all. The 'take off' tray is such a great feature. It makes it so much easies to wipe the kids down if you can wisk the food away first. The reclining positions were wonderful, especially with a new baby, being able to strap them in and lie them back for a bottle off the ground away from toddlers. It certainly has standed the test of time. I agree, with the previous review, that I hardly used the parent tray and too, kept it in the very handy mesh bag with all my bibs. I also agree that the tray can be kicked out when you are trying to adjust them, when they get that little bit older.

Excellent – I love this highchair and tell everyone who will listen! Eventhough it costs more than other highchairs, it can be used from the day they are born and saves you having to buy additional baby items. The only highchair I am aware of that can be used from birth. My 11 week old has been in it every day since birth. We have a 2 storey house and it is… Read more

more convenient than taking him upstairs to sleep during the day. It is very easy to clean and adjust. My son loves the toys! A bit more expensive at over $300 (I paid $325)...but worth it.

great from day one! – i absolutely love this chair! had a good play with it in the baby shop & read heaps of reviews before we decided on it. our little boy was only little, but wanted to be up higher so he could see things. this chair was perfect! he would lie in it & was very content that he could see faces instead of legs as he was usually on the floor on his… Read more

play mat. now that he is a older (almost 5 months) we have removed the infant insert & now are using it as a high chair. he sits quite nicely in it as it has plenty of padding. i also did buy 2nd hand a chicco double phase for the grandparents' house, but find it not as good. the polly magic is great coz you can use it from word go & it is very supportive with all it's padding. cover is completely upholstered in plastic waterproof material, toy bar was handy when he was little, ability to use from newborn, easy to use (recline, adjust height, etc.) nothing really, only thing i'm not completely keen on is the lack of decent wheels. it does have 2 on the back "foot", but they don't do much. but this is far overshadowed by all it's good qualities!!!

Better than the others I have had to date – This is now our 4th highchair and has been the best so far to date. It is sturdy but yet easy to move when the brakes are off. It appears very comfortable for the child. It is easy to get your child in and out of the chair. The tray is easy to get on and off and is light and easy to clean. The cover for the chair can easily be removed and… Read more

cleaned, and the straps are easy to adjust. The colours available are nice and should go with most home decor. We have not found much use for the extra cup holder but it is good to know the option is there. I must say that this chair is safe enough on tiles compared to other brands we have had. It will still move a little but nowhere near as much as other brands (such as Love n Care).

OK – When looking for a high-chair a lot of "checklists" said to look for one that reclines - which was one reason why we bought the Polly. However we have never used this function and bub hated being reclined in it anyway. The adjustable height is great and the high chair is very stable and I have never worried about bubs safety in it. Overall, if I… Read more

was buying again I'd look for something more streamlined and easier to clean - so long as it had a five point harness and a stable base. Removable top tray. Easier (not easy, but easier) to keep clean than some other high chairs I have tried. 5-point harness saftey (great for when toddler decides all of a sudden they've had enough and want to climb out right NOW). Adjustable height. Wide, stable base. Casters to wheel high-chair. Foot rest. Store bibs in the back pocket. We have limited space and I purchased this product because it folds up quite slim - however I didn't realise just how much constant use the high-chair would get (all those snacks etc) so we never fold it. We'd have been better off getting a chair that took up less room when in use, rather than folded. Light coloured straps hard to clean and fiddly to remove for more thorough cleaning. Food easily trapped in the slit that goes the whole way around the tray. Top tray easily removable by toddler (some other chairs we have used had the top tray fold over the bottom tray a lot more and were harder to remove). Parent tray nice idea but I found it to be useless and got in the way. The distance from the seat to the top of the tray is quite high and would be better if a bit lower so tray more easily accessed by baby.

Bad – Although this chair looks good in terms of functionality, I would NOT recommend buying it from a maintenance and durability perspective. The tray is easy to use, and chair height is easily adjustable, which is a great feature when it comes time for your little one to join you at the table. My daughter is 2 and a half and she is still happy to sit… Read more

in her chair. (She uses the 'footrest' as a step and can now get into it herself- I'm not sure this is what it was designed for!) I use the mesh bag to store bibs/ cloths- very handy. VERY difficult to keep clean, even when the chair is new and intact- lots of 'nooks' for food to get into. After about 18 months, the seams started to deteriorate, and we now have a very mucky crevice of exposed foam.

Excellent – Great high chair, glad I took the time to look around and also found this on sale, well worth the bargin. Very easy to use and versatile. The multi-height is great and moving the table in and out is easy. Double layer padding (for age appropriate use) can get a bit dirty.

Bad – We got this highchair because it was height adjustable and can be used at the dining table. But I really dont like it. All the patterns are ugly - there are much prettier chairs on the market. My baby is only little and has just started using the chair and the tray comes up quite high on him which i find makes it difficult to feed him. It would be… Read more

great to be able to feed him without the tray attached at the moment but the leg divider is attached to the tray, not the chair so to make sure the baby doesnt slide out you need to have the tray on the chair. This also makes it difficult when seating the baby in the chair. Sliding the tray on when his legs are in the wrong position is not easy. And being 6 months he doesnt know to keep them apart! Height adjustable. The arms fold up so it can be used at the dining table. Easy to clean Ugly. Bulky. The leg seperator is attached to the tray, not the highchair. The parents tray is a good idea but it sticks out to far. The wheels do not go well on my floorboards. The tray is not easy to slide out and back on.
