Not recommended – It's a really comfortable chair, well cushioned and back support, nice look, adjustable height, reclined seat to lie down position, lock unlock legs, removable tray for cleaning. But, it's difficult to clean, lots of nooks and area that crumbs or sauce could possibly get stucked into especially if bub is doing blw. The straight up position is… Read more

still abit reclined back so bub can't sit up right for eating. Also the tray sits above the chest of bub and it's not adjustable so it's not comfortable for blw. Not bad for spoon fed bub and bottle fed bub. Also once bub grows bigger, they can't climb up on their own. I prefer to get Stokke or mocka timber high chair easy to clean and would last much longer as they can climb up and down themselves.

My baby loves it!! – I am quite happy with this high chair and it looks like my baby loves it too.. I wasn`t sure when I bought it, this is a quite expensive high chair, but it turned out to be very easy to clean, robust and light weight. You can incline the sit and it goes from 5 months to 3 years. WE are planning to have another baby and this is what we were looking for. Something which can last....

Dreadful to clean – My baby is 8 months old and has been sitting in this chair to eat since he was 4 months old. The smallest setting was good for him then. Initially it was not too bad because I fed him and it was reasonably clean. Now he likes to have a go at feeding himself and things get messy. This chair has so many nooks an crannies and cracks just big enough… Read more

for food to get in but not big enough to clean properly. The padded seat takes 2 days in the sun to dry if you decide to hose it down. This chair is unnecessarily complicated. Really, who needs a reclining seat at the dinner table???

The only thing I like about it is that it is on wheels so I can move baby around easy if I need to.

Really good but not perfect – The perfect high chair doesn't exist. You have to compromise. I really like my Peg Perego Prima Pappa Diner. Very, very comfortable for my children. Easy to adjust harness between my kids (the older one still uses the chair). The double tray is brilliant. Good for feeding and for some art projects, when you want your toddler to sit still. We… Read more

often do art together - I do scrapbooking at the table and my 3yo girl do her drawings on the high chair (my sharp tools are out of her reach). When I feed my baby boy I don't have to use the tray. It is a bit too high for him. I love the way the tray is stored behind the chair (very easy and neat). Cleaning is a bit of a problem esp. crevices near the mechanism that let you move the seat in more horizontal position (BTW the cover is made of vinyl. It must be wiped not washed - I've read in the other opinions that it got mouldy because of washing, well...), every month I use my husbands tools to disconnect the harness from the chair and wash the harness in the washing machine. Currently I'm looking for a replacement cover as the old one got cracked and the little one started pulling the stuffing out.

Very happy with this highchair! – This highchair is really good especially for older kids. When our DS started solids we had to put a small pillow under his bum to raise him up a little bit as he was sitting too low. It is very comfortable and with the reclining positions and adjustable hight it ment you can feed the baby at the table or you can comfortably sit at the couch or you… Read more

can recline it and your little one can have a bottle in it by themselves. The tray comes off and you can slide the highchair a little bit under the table so when your child is a little older they can comfortably sit at the table and not use the tray. Our son is 3.5 yo and on the bigger side and he easily gets in and out of the highchair and its a life saver for us because he is very content in it during meal times and he usually can't stay still for a min otherwise. We got rid of one of the chairs at the table and replaced it with his highchair. I realise none of the kids his age use the highchair anymore but I'm sure if they had this one they wouldn't want to stop using it. You can get them in 'normal' colours so they blend in with your table and chairs and you don't get sick of looking at it like all of the other kids stuff with colourful designs.

Excellent – This is a fabulous high chair that is well worth its purchase price. It is a high quality chair that is very well designed. It is the kind of high chair that you buy for a first child with the expectation that it will last an entire family (and can then be sold or passed on to another family!). The recline feature is fabulous for babies who are… Read more

ready for solids but are not able to sit up entirely on their own with confidence. The design is such that the high chair has a very stable base and fits smaller babies and bigger babies alike (I've noticed that cheaper high chairs (e.g. $200) have seats that encourage slumping in younger babies). It is easy to move around the house. I would take it outside once a week and give it a high pressure hose down so that it only ever looked like new!

A worthwhile investment, as a high chair is something used daily for many years (particularly for families planning to have more than one child). stability, recline feature, ease of use, mobility, durability, design. The seat liner. This could be designed a little better. The liner split (though only after three children!) and replacements are costly and not easy to purchase. Can be a little awkward and time consuming to clean.

Excelent , high quality – I have two but disappointed can't buy one hip strap on its own , you have to buy the whole harness at very high cost which defeats the purpose of buying second hand still happy with the product. Another well known baby manufacturer supply missing parts with a simple phone call and model number and mail out to you. Very high quality well made. Can't buy one peice that's missing.

Best product on the market – Clearly the best high chair I have ever seen for sale worth the $350 I spent. Great italian made quality and also looks fantastic, great for my little girls posture as this was the main factor in my purchase i would recommend if you want the very best 100% 10/10.

I love this high chair, very easy to use and clean – I love this high chair, it is very easy to use and clean as the cover is very easy to unclip and slip off and the tray has a removeable cover. The seat tilts so my daughter can drink on her own much easier then when seated totally up right. The seat also slides up and down so I can very easily adjust the height. Tilting seat that can be moved up and down Made out of plastic rather than wood.

Many Settings But Hard To Clean – Pros: Can be used from 4 months as the seat can recline. It can be folded up and various height adjustments which is handy. Cons: a real pain to clean, awkward tight places which makes it a nightmare to clean even with a hose! The straps stained and impossible to wash off. I ended up replacing it with a very simple timber high chair that also converts to a chair.

Not the best – I like the way this chair can be adjusted to same height as our dining table, but pity that the tray isn't also adjustable as it sits far too high for a young baby. The ability to tilt the seat back was handy. I used it from 4 months old so bubs could sit comfortably in the chair near me with a couple of toys while I cook dinner. We're using… Read more

it for our 2nd child and the wheels are a real problem. When moving the chair they get stuck and don't swivel in the direction that you push the chair; they just stay stuck so have to bend down and swivel them by hand in the right direction so that the floorboards don't end up scratched.

The seat design is also not very practical as mentioned by other reviewers. There are so many nooks and crannies in the seat cover for the food to get stuck in and takes ages to clean if your bub is a messy eater!

High chair - high maintenance – I would not buy this again. The padded cover just has too many crevices for food to hide in making it hard to keep clean, and when we wash it, water gets in the cover somewhere & just leaks out onto bubba. I have replaced the cover once already (as it went mouldy inside from the water getting in) but still have the same problem. Also, the chair is… Read more

very bulky and takes up a lot of room, and you need an engineering degree to work out how to set it up. The good points are that the chair can slide up & down, which my son likes as he can climb into it himself. chair slides out & down & reclines as well hard to keep clean, cover gets food & water trapped in it, very bulky to store, difficult to set up

OK high chair – Especially enjoy how easy it is to add/remove tray for loading/unloading the bub. Was disappointed when we first put in baby that she could barely see above the tray. I know this is very common in high chairs but what a pity the tray doesn't move up and down. Food falls in the crevices in the cushion so you can't easily clean it with a wipe down… Read more

but you get used to mess with a baby. Otherwise it's been good. one hand to add/remove tray, wheels fixed tray height, food scraps catch in cushion

OK – When looking at high chairs I noticed that a lot of them have lots of sharp bits and holes under the trays which I could imagine causing a few injuries, this one looks good. The PVC is easy to clean but the restraint straps suck up dirt. It's easy to open with the footswitch but it doesn't look like it will last too long before it breaks. I like… Read more

the recline for smaller babies but most chairs have this. I think it is a bit flimsy in places considering the price. Double trays. Recline. Easy to open and close with one hand. Easy to wipe clean. Limited holes under tray to trap little fingers. Foot switch looks flimsy and I worry it will break. The wheels are not very good. Expensive.

The best high chair on the market ! – A very lush high chair. Gold standard. It has a recline option, full padding, It is easy to convert to a low chair if you are sitting on the lounge for example. I love the way the top tray comes off for easy cleaning. has a good quality four point harness an a bar in th middle so baby will not slide out and is saf at all times. Wheels around… Read more ·  1

easily. The recline option, ease of cleaning, safety bar in crutch, and smooth wheels. Great soft pading in various designs. Bit pricey new. Food tends to get caught in the padding, need to clean after each use to keep hygenic.

Good to use from young age – I was given this highchair second hand when my son was born. It was actually handy from 2 months old as I could recline him in it and wheel it into the bathroom while I took a shower. I liked the different height settings and recline options as I could have him high while I cooked dinner and then adjust to have him at the table with us. The… Read more

harness did get twisted easily and once done up gave him too much freedom. Once he was old enough he learnt the art of escape so we had to leave it on the lower setting and eventually gave up on it altogether and changed to another easier basic highchair. It could be a pain to clean but once you got the hang of it you knew where the little bits would end up it became routine. Easy to fold and transport, good padding My houdini could escape once old enough, harness gave too much freedom, hard to clean

Excellent – I LOVE THIS CHAIR! i got this given to me from my sisters boss and he has used it for both his children (6 and 4) and is now being used for my boy and it is still in perfect condition! once i had researched it on the internet i discovered how easy it was to use and all the different functions. deffinate two thumbs up! its sturdy, love how it has two trays, one including cup holder for bub. reclines, adjustable height.

Terrible – This highchair is way overpriced. They tray sits far too high for a child under 18 months, our baby has to sit on a folded up towel! The lap straps are bolted to the chair and cannot be removed so they are impossible to clean. The tray doesnt slide in and out easily and doesnt lock into position so baby can push the tray completely off the chair.… Read more

The chair only has 2 castors so you have to tilt the chair back and drag it by the tray, not easy to achieve with a baby already in the chair. There are also a million other small design flaws, too many to list, but they basically equate to an overpriced piece of junk! Would never buy one of these again. Double tray, comfortable padded seat, leg bar stops baby slipping out when being unclipped from chair. Only has 2 wheels, difficult to clean, tray way too high for small baby, tray difficult to slide in and out one handed, foot rest doesn't adjust

Good – Great high chair, well trusted brand, I know I will get a lot of use out of it. Was a little expensive compared to the other brands such as Chicco and Steelcraft etc. Its a little flimsy when you want to recline the seat. Come in a range of nice colours and patterns. My sister has the older model (late 90's) which has four wheels and nicer… Read more

patterns, it is less flimsy than my 2009 model. I would prefer my sisters over mine. Solid high care, very easy to clean just wipe down, includes two trays one with a cup holder, has 5 height positioning and reclines back if you want it to but we dont. I have the choc brown colour so it doesnt show any stains. Easy to fold/unfold, I bought this in August 09 but Im sure it will last for my future children to come. Only has two wheels at the front, the back two are stands, very hard to move the high chair. Look into that before buying as I bought mine online and did not notice it. Other than that I am very happy with it.

OK – It has been very useful for my baby and toddler and still in use after 3 years. It is easy to manouvre around house and is easy to clean. I wasn't too happy that the Peg Perego name rubbed out entirely in only 6 months without use of abrasive detergents and the seat cover has started to break apart towards the back corners and it hasnt even been… Read more

tampered with. Disappointed that the seat covering does not last but the sturdiness of the actual chair frame has over 3 years.I would recommend to others for durability and comfort but not happy with the flaws of the plastic seat covering. fantastic colour and design The plastic seat covering doesnt last long

OK – Not a bad high-lo chair if you have carpet (no good if you have floor boards or tiles)alot of little nooks and crannies for bub to put their fingers in when tray is off. I have seen better designed high chairs but then again i have also seen worse. To replace the padded seat cushion costs another approx $90.00. A bit rich. Folds easy and looks… Read more

good love the reclining back rest and option on height. The price.if i didnt get one second hand i wouldnt be able to afford it.

Excellent – I have used this for 2 babies now. My daughter went into it at 4 months old - before she was holding her head completely steady. I found she was really comfortable just laying there in the fully reclined position. I love the multi-height feature so you can adjust it to the right height depending on what type of chair you are sitting on to feed, or… Read more

slide it under the dining table when they get a bit older so as they can eat at the table with the rest of the family. I find this highchair really good and solid and would buy it again for all the great features. The multiple height and recline adjustments are great. It folds up pretty much one handed and is quite compact when folded, even with the tray still on. Being Peg Perego, it is excellent quality and so everything works solidly and smoothly. The wheels push along nicely. The 5 point harness is very secure and bub is doubly secure with the peg that goes between the legs. All comes apart pretty easily to wipe it down and keep it clean. The chair is really padded and comfortable. It would be good if the tray had a designated drink holder, like some others do. Would also be good to have a "parent tray" down the leg like some do, which gives you somewhere to rest things when you need to, without putting them on the tray for bub to knock off onto the floor. One of the most (if not THE most) to buy.

Excellent – After two children (boys) it was given to us, this is one tuff high chair. My son at 3yr has given it the will it break test the list is to long to write. I take outside scrub it, hose it down and let it dry off we go again. I don't known if they still make it this strong It has all the height adjustments you need and it reclines (we don't recline… Read more

ours )Australia approved harness. Remove table with one hand and slides in again with ease, not like our other chair. Not much, their is a update on arm rest,it is only a problem when you recline seat.

Good – I love the look of this chair, but really, that's not what buying one is all about!. I chose this model as it was given a good rating by Choice. It has good cushioning and wanted one that had a 5 point harness and leg divider so no chance of bub slipping underneath tray. The tray is good, there are actually 2 trays for it - one has a cup holder.… Read more

The downside of the chair is that is one of the more expensive chairs and is a bit awkward to move around - easier just to pick up and carry than use the back leg wheels. Cleaning it is a bit of a pain, there are a few areas that are very hard to get to and probably don't get as good a clean as they should. The chair cover is PVC and can be removed for easy cleaning. It is easy to fold down and just fits in the boot of my small car. Overall I am very happy with purchase, just not looking forward to when bub feeds himself and makes more mess! Sturdy. Leg divider and 5 point harness. Chair is height adjustable and reclinable seat. Given good rating by Choice. Expensive and can be a pain to clean. Awkward to move around.

Excellent – I have used this high chair for my baby from 6 months old and she is now 2 years. The chair is easy to clean if you wipe it each time it is used, the two trays are very convenient if you can't be bothered washing after each use. My child loves sitting in her chair and I even put her in it to do craft activities, like drawing, to contain the… Read more

mess. I have had no issues with padding cracking or difficulty keeping clean. I find it easy to use and my child finds it comfortable. I also like the fact that it had a high safety rating from Choice. It is a sturdy, safe high chair and I think it is worth the money. (We bought new on ebay from an overseas supplier and it was cheaper than buying here even including postage) Two trays that are easy to clean. PVC padding is comfortable and easy to wipe clean. Easy to get baby in and out,easy to get trays off and on, height adjustable. Like the colours! No major issues.

Bad – Ok Ill start with likes: I love the double trays, I have used this alot. The chair has lots of padding and cushioning - it looks really comfortable (I'd like to eat dinner in it) It is sturdy with a wide wheel base however this also makes it really bulky and it always feels like its in the way. And unfortunately the dislikes far outway the likes.… Read more

This is the worst thing in the world to keep clean!!! So many crevices, nooks and crannys for food to get caught in and food smooshed into - I hate cleaning it and no matter how hard I try it always looks a little gross. As with the other reviews the padded cushion pvc material has split and is just another place for food to gather. It would be good if the footstool adjusted up and down. The height adjustment sometimes fails to click in properly on one side when baby is seated in the chair. I think its pretty overpriced for the item you get and the lack of forethought when they designed it. I wouldn't buy another one if I had another child. Double trays, looks like a comfortable chair, sturdy. Footstool, cleaning, height adjustment, bulky, lining, a tad on the expensive side.

OK – I've had it 6 months and no major issues or damages. My bubs has very low muscle tone which is why we bought something so expensive. I am able to keep him upright in this chair at 90 degrees and there is room to surround him with extra cushioning and room to grow. He does not flop to the side like you see many kids doing. All in all it is good for… Read more

us, but if your baby has normal muscle tone then something else cheaper might be just as good. Comfy, room to put good supports in for floppy kids, supportive nozzle between legs, cushion easy to wipe down. Can sits at 90 degree angle unlike many, folds away well, double tray Expensive, the tray height is a tad too high for child under 12 months (but ok), At times the hight adjust fails on one side if baby is in it while you try to adjust it, wish foot stool adjusted up, wheels only on two legs and would be good on all four, Never used straps (didn't need too as baby is locked in well)...they also look fiddly but they have never broken.

Bad – Good seat due to it's adjustability, but not overly practical due to the difficulty in cleaning it. I thought that the price of the replacement seat cushion was very excessive...surely we should be encouraging people to recycle...at this price you might as well just go out and buy a cheaper seat if the cushion did split. Will be buying a… Read more

different seat in the future. Good straps, good adjustability in height and seat position. Too many nooks and crannys to be able to clean it properly. Replacement seat cushion was quoted at $100 + $15 postage and packing...ouch!

Bad – Not worth the money. It was a good solid highchair but I think you can get others that are better value for money (especially considering the cushion replacement too). One of the features the shop assistants told me I would like was the piece of plastic that came up between the child's legs & theoretically stopped them from falling out but given… Read more

they are always strapped into a highchair this wasn't really offering anything additional. Lots of ways to adjust it (height, straps etc). Had two trays (one in theory for food & one for play). Expensive !! And after about 18mths the cushion cover cracked in numerous places & the only place I could get a replacement was from a company based on the other side of Australia & it was expensive.

OK – Whilst it has many good features, this chair is such a pain to clean that we ended up buying the ikea antilop when my daughter was older. I think it's good for younger babies if you can overlook the cleaning factor. It's comfortable for baby and especially suitable for a smaller baby with the option of reclining the seat. The seat can also be… Read more

lowered. Easy to move around the house. Removable tray makes cleaning the tray easy. Baby very safe and secure in this sturdy highchair. This was an expensive highchair compared to others. It was a nightmare to clean with so many grooves for food to get stuck in.

your momney on soemthing you think your child needs, when they really dont. comfortable for your little one the tray height is way too high for any child under 18 months - 2 years to use comfortably, horrible t oclean, so many groovs & food gets caught under the padding, too bulky and the swivel wheels don't work properly

Good – I have had this high chair for a few years now, and it still looks brand new. Top quality model and the best investment Ive made. We are getting ready to use for our second child.

harness is great, love how it reclines for smaller bubs and also being able to lower it down when feeding bub. Also love that its on wheels and is easy to move around Tray sits to far away from bub and is also big and bulky.

Excellent – Very good and safe chair to have. I have used it from when my baby started eating solids until now. However the PVC started to split open at the end, but overall it still good. Sturdy design. Can be used from 4 months onward, since it can be recline back, so still giving support for your baby to sit there, without endangering bub. Love the… Read more

harness and the thing poking in the middle (not sure what it called) to keep the baby safe in seat. Sometimes food stuck inside the chair, so a bit tricky to clean up. Also at first I am not sure how to fold / unfold the chair, but now its ok. Tray is also a little bit too big for my baby when she still small, making it harder to feed when you put the tray on, so I didn't use the tray then.
