Extremely functional – Easy to manoeuvre and I don’t not find it a problem to clean. However, I do have trouble finding the adjustment mechanism for the 3 position tray. So far it’s roomy enough that the 9mth old can be lifted out. The waist strap doesn’t tighten without being attached to the harness which isn’t ideal when a harness isn’t always needed. I still highly… Read more
recommend this high chair as it’s very comfort for our grand daughter. So, at this stage I can only review as an occasional use high chair.
Terrible – Very hard to clean in crevices after a month it stinks. Seat is so low and tray is so high baby can’t use arms properly. Legs are so unnecessarily bulky, foot rest is far too low. Overpriced piece of junk, definitely wouldn’t recommend it. Only good feature is that it is on wheels and has a good size tray for eating.

Good – We have been using this highchair for about a year. It is easy to use on a regular basis and easy to store, but it does take up a bit of room. Cleaning is ok, straps get dirty and some food falls down crevices that are hard to get to, but not impossible. The seat just wipes clean with a damp cloth. One side of the storage basket will often… Read more
detach, but nothing falls out. We only use the storage basket for bibs and the occasional toy. It would probably hold a few bowls/plates etc.
Wheels work, but don't lock particularly well on hardwood floors. i.e. my daughter can still push the highchair around when the wheels are locked, but it would require an adult to move it when she is seated in it and the wheels are locked.
Haven't really used the recline positions as we bought the highchair after my daughter could sit up. She occasionally falls asleep while feeding and we recline her then. The full recline is maybe 45 degrees. Leg rest does not adjust.
Various heights are useful. I can stand and feed her without too much bending over on the highest setting (I'm 174cm tall). We can also lower the chair to sit directly at the table.
The dual trays are good, easy to clean, easily snap on and off. We push the tray in beyond the "3 positions", which are all very closely spaced. I have dropped them several times on tiles and hardwood floors and they are yet to crack and/or break.
Generally a good purchase for the price. It does its job as a highchair. Worth the money. Easy to use and clean. Takes up a lot of storage room, straps get dirty easily.
Great product – I'm really pleased I bought this chair. It's sooo convenient, having most (all?) features that you're likely to want in a high chair. The biggest bonus for me is that it is very high when at its full height - they say the "highest on the market" - and as we have a bench style kitchen table it's perfect because baby can sit in it and the 'table'… Read more
part of the high chair is at the exact height as the bench table so it's just as though he is sitting with us at the table.
For those with an island bench or bench that you sit at, I would suggest this particular high chair would be ideal also. When at it's lowest height it's perfect for sitting on the floor or couch to feed and I've even put baby in it to sit at my keyboard and piano for a fun activity and I know he is safe.
For this purpose, it's great that the arms of the chair can be easily raised to fit under the piano and keyboard and for those with a table which you'd like your baby to sit at properly, you could raise the arms of the high chair but lower the seat so he/she just fits under the table and it would just be like a normal dining chair (albeit a little wider at the base). I find it easy to clean, easy to wipe, nothing has stained so far and it looks nice, crisp and clean white/grey and relatively stylish... well, at least not too daggy!!.
The harness is easy to use, both to put on and take off quickly and has little twisty parts to it so you can't get the shoulder strap twisted (why don't other harnesses have this feature??!!). I'm pleased it has castors on the legs and wouldn't bother with a chair that doesn't as there's many a time when I need to pull him close to me or move him out of the way slightly and it would be very difficult with them.
It also means that when I'm preparing meals or cleaning up in the kitchen I can maneuver him so he can be near me or within eye sight to keep him happy or engage him in what I'm doing. The table is very easy to remove with one hand (central release device underneath) and the basket is easy to access (although it would be great if it was more accessible from the front - currently only from the rear).
A few minor complaints - the swivel on the castors have locked a couple of times particularly when trying to turn on too sharp an angle and this has resulted in scratches in my nice new Jarrah floorboards (not happy!!).
The base is quite wide so with our small bench table it takes up a little too much room to fit other chairs close by, but I'm sure the width is partly for safety. It's very difficult to adjust the height with the baby sitting in the chair (though I think the instructions say not to do this so perhaps I'm just trying to take shortcuts that I shouldn't).
In fact adjusting the height generally (with or without baby in the chair) is actually quite awkward as its a two handed maneuver and if raising from the lowest height you need to get on the floor, use two hands but also put weight on the base to lift up the seat part without lifting the whole chair - a tricky move!!
Apart from these minor points, it's a great chair and for the price (I think very, very reasonable at approximately $150 I paid at Baby Bunting) you can't go wrong - a very, very similar Steelcraft chair cost an additional $100 or more and didn't raise nearly as high as the Techno. Good height - ideal for benches. Easy to use, easy to clean. Lots of features. Fantastic value as one of the less expensive chairs on the market but has more features than most. Castors lock occasionally. Can be awkward to adjust height. Wide at the base. There are classier chairs out there (but I'm sure they have less practical features).
Have I Missed Something? – I purchased this product based on the reviews on this website, which may I add have never given me the wrong advice thus far, except for this particular product. I have obviously missed something as I cannot see after using this highchair for two weeks why people would rave about it. Maybe my chair before this one was just so good I didn't… Read more
realize how good it was (however my daughter outgrew it!).
So here we are with this chair which cost approx. $220. The tray table is a pain to get on and off and for some reason you have to take the whole thing off every time you put your child in and take them out of the chair (i don't know why but she just cannot swing her legs into it correctly. This problem is complicated by the fact that the tray is heavy, especially when you have both trays.
The straps do not fit correctly with the smaller insert (you need the smaller insert because the material on the chair is very, very hot (especially if you live in Darwin!) When you go to adjust the straps the adjuster gets stuck in the slot opening of the smaller insert and makes adjusting the straps impossible. We have had to keep lifting our daughter up to adjust them.
The brakes on the chair do not stop the chair from moving at all. Indeed my 15 month old is able to push her legs against me and move the chair backwards so i have to then grab the tray to stop the chair moving backwards... it is very annoying and frustrating, My annoyance and frustration has been exacerbated also by the fact that the people who sold it to me don't seem to understand how unsafe this product is!
Everything. Find something else and test your child in it first before purchasing!
Positive reviews
Worth it – I m a first time mom and I bought it when my baby was 6 months old and she has been using it since then . No bigger issue just sometime she wasn't comfortable with the harness but she isn't comfortable in car seat too so , I don't think it's chair problem . Overall it's a really good stuff for us and I would like to buy again for my other child
Great and easy to use – This high chair is one of the best I've had mainly because of the well thought out design that has allowed for a basket underneath (Perfect for bibs), hanging hooks on back for tray storage, wheels and it has a soft and wipe able cushion seat. Great functionality due to those features but also has high low function and lie back seat settings. Long wearing as I got mine secondhand and it looks and feels like new
Great high chair – I bought that chair for my third child because old one was broken and happy with that brand.Yes cleaning is not easy,but all chairs needed clean and its not easier.Good price ,good levels.However,I used it just for one year from child age 1-2,because my child decide to seating with us on the table:)
Negative reviews
Pandora love and care high chair – We bought the pandora love and care hoghchair for our 6m old. The chair's back legs extend too far back and pose a tripping hazard. They are easily missed on the floor. The chair is too big in its design for little bubs with tray table sitting at bubs chin level. When supplier and shop were contacted about these issues they were rude and refused… Read more
to offer any solutions or help. Please do not waste your $$ on this poor customer service and poor chair.
Difficult to clean – Breaks dont work. Too big for a 6 month old. Almost imposible to clean. Expensive and too big and chunky. Good things are : easy to assamble, it has weels an it has a big tray and storage basket. The plastic cover stains very easily. If you are after a good chair look somewhere else
Falls apart – My 3.5-year-old chair has disintegrated. The plastic that holds the frame together has fallen apart. This is the last straw for a chair that has always been impossible to clean and my child also got her arms caught in the frame as other reviewers have mentioned. Would not recommend.

Wheels are great, okay to clean. Seat angle not great – I love the fact this can be wheeled around and is comfortable for bub. The seat is very oversized for him (9mo) though and the seat angle is not adjustable enough in my opinion. There are some nooks and crannies making cleaning annoying too, but I was given this product for free so can't complain! Tbh I would consider a cheaper model though, especially as it retails for around $200 in some places which is definitely overpriced.
Disappointed – It recommends the high chair from 6 months plus but i wouldnt recommend it. The harness dosent go tight enough around the child. The adjustable bits on the harness are far to easy to move- my 6 month old can loosen the straps by wriggling! It is a pain to clean- most chairs are though. The tray dosent sit close enough to the child and seems quite… Read more
high in comparison. Would be nice if you could adjust the foot rest... wish i had my old high chair from my 1st child.

Not worth the price tag – Purchased this chair as first time parents for our boy, while he was a bub it was fine, then he started wanting to feed himself etc and quickly discovered that the chain is a pain to clean properly, you basically have to pull it all apart to clean it properly.. and now just over a year after purchase the plastic that holds the legs in place has cracked! thank god our little guy was not in the chair at the time this happened!
Worst highchair, don't buy! – After having to go through dept of fair trading I am getting a refund on this chair. My child's arm gets stuck in it and after trying to get a refund with lovencare I had to take it further. Not only that but the tray is too far away for finger foods and the top bit that comes off(so you can wash it) doesn't clip down tight enough as my child just… Read more
pulls it off! It's also hard to keep clean as there is too many spots for food to hide. Would not recommend this to anyone.
Unsafe, unpractical, badly designed
Wouldn't recommended – We really like this chair when our son was 4mos old. However, now that he likes to feed himself, its not so great. I feel like this purchase was a problem of being a first time mom. The tray is way too far away. Not only does food get all over our son, but I think its deterring him from using forks and spoons. He can hardly reach his plate and… Read more
thus grabbing with his hands is probably a lot easier. great for really young babies. Insert allows the babies to be nice and snug. Not great for toddlers over 1yr who want to feed themself.
Awful! – I did not like this high chair. Have been using this high chair since my son was 4 months by 7 months I wanted to start finger food so my son could play and learn to use his fingers but could not do this as the tray is too high he can't even see over it, he is now 9 months and still can't see over and have his arms on the table so I have… Read more
purchased a new high chair.
The tray did not slide in very far so sliding down and slouching was able for my son which did not help with his posture. The tray is very bulky.
It is very hard to clean too many nooks and wheels don't work very well nor the breaks!
Would not recommend! Only the storage basket Everything listed above
handy high chair – Just got this high chair after being skeptical about buying an expensive highchair. The tray comes out easily but is difficult to fit in a standard size sink to wash. The basket at the bottom is handy to store wipes as my boy is a very messy eater. It's easy to roll around the house as I have him sitting on it while I prepare dinner.… Read more
Unfortunately the seaay isn't high enough so wet had to buy some foam to boost him up so that he can get his and above the tray. Easy to remove tray. basket is very handy to store wipes etc. adjustable height tray is a bit bulky. even when wheels are locked it skips around on the tiles. seat to low.
Excellent – We love this chair! It's so easy to use. Folds up, reclines, adjustable height (great for bench top as it goes quite high), easy to clean, easy to move around, lockable wheels, stylish look, the list goes on. Bub seems quite comfortable and even enjoys sitting in it when it's not meal time. Can't fault it. Easy to adjust and keep clean.
Really pleased! – I'm loving this high chair!! Just started our 4mth old princess on solids and its been amazing! She loves the chair! I love the adjustable height because she can sit up at the table with us or if we're being lazy we can lower it and she's in the lounge with us! And loving the recline options as bub is almost sitting on her own the recline… Read more
position allows her to sit up but not topple forward!
Love the double tray! And ease of use to remove!!!!
Only complaint is the wheels jam heaps seems to be only able to move one direction!
Got it on sale so can't complain about price! Excellent value for money! Double tray, height and recline options Wheels jam!
Not for people without air conditioning – I have found the chair good to use, and easy to put together. Some food does stain the vinyl. The biggest problem I have with the chair is that my daughter overheats in it. She can't finish her meal without getting very upset and ending up getting fed sitting on my lap. Defeats the whole purpose. Easy to put together. Good adjustment with height,… Read more
reclining. The castors stick. Way too hot for bub, even without the infant pad. Not the easiest thing to clean.
Very happy with this chair – Bought this chair in desperation when bub 3 months old. He didn't like his swing, pram or lying on the floor for long periods due to reflux & it was difficult to get anything done when having to hold him all the time. Found he loves this chair & one of his favourite things is to watch us preparing dinner of an evening. he sits in the chair &… Read more
laughs as we cook dinner.
Like the fact that its height adjustable so we can also sit him in chair in the lounge & he can join in whatever we are doing.
The recline is good as well & we were hoping bub might fall asleep in the chair but he doesn't.
Getting use as a high chair for feeding now & I could see that it could become filthy quite easily but i've been giving it a quick wipedown after each use. haven't had to wash the liner yet but looks like it would wash well. Bub loves it. Height & reclione adjustable. Ok from 3 months onwards

Really happy with this high chair – I love how versatile this chair is with the 3 recline positions and the adjustable height. We can sit bub at the dining table, the kitchen bench, or next to the couch with us. It's really comfortable for him with the soft infant insert. I love the four castor wheels (the two back ones have brakes) which makes it a breeze to drag around. The two… Read more
removable trays also makes for an easy clean up. Very versatile The tray, while adjustable, does not come in close enough or low enough yet for my 5 month old
Great home chair – Love how easy it s to adjust and also how can adjust high and chair tilt. Straps are loose as dd is on the tiny side. Friends has the same chair and also loves it. Would be nice to get covers for this chair as well. was a pain to assemble. Chair tilt, seat height Wheels stick! Tray doesn't adjust easily, pain to assemble.
Great chair! – I bought this because of it was the highest chair in the store! It also adjust to couch height if your sitting in the lounge room. I wish the tray will move in towards the baby as I am putting a pIllow behind my 6 mths old so food falls on the tray and not her lap. Two trays is great! All in all a great seat for the price.. Very happy with it!… Read more
The adjustable height Tray only sits in one spot would be better if it moved towards your baby as it grew
Would recommend to everyone! – We bought this in 2008 and have used it for more than one baby, so it is durable. The adjustable height is fantastic for when you feed baby while you sit in different areas (dining table, sofa, on the floor). The removable tray is good in that you can take it off as soon as baby has finished eating and voila you have an instant (clean) play… Read more
table/tray underneath. The recline function is probably the best feature for when baby falls asleep after (or during) eating. The wheels are good too, making it easy to move around so you can pull it right up in front of you.
The cover is fully removable tor cleaning (for which i just scrubbed down with a scourer sponge and soap, and i hosed down the actual chair in the backyard. The storage basket is good for keeping a splash mat/picnic rug, bibs and facewashers. It folds up to push up against the wall to save space when stored.
Only issue might be if you have limited space, its a little bulky. But if you want something with good cushioning (especially good for a young baby) then the bulkiness is hard to avoid. I would recommend this to anyone. Recline function, removable tray, adjustable height, storage basket
Brilliant! – This highchair is amazing. It has height adjustment and recline adjustment. Its easy to keep clean and can be disassembled for a major cleanup. I usually just wipe clean with a Dettol wipe. Daughter seems to be quite comfortable. Also the tray has a double layer with easy storage behind the chair. Best bit is how easy it is to keep clean. Straps… Read more
could be designed to fit more firmly. My child is slim, but at its tightest its still loose for my 20 mth old. Also tray could be closer to her.
Very Hard to clean don't waste your money – is extremly hard to clean, i have to pull it apart completely to clean it, and who has time to hand wash!! i put mine on the gentle cycle and the cuchion inside has folded up, and stared to disintergate, the stiching has come undone and i had to buy a grubby bubby cover to replace it as there is barelay any cushion left. the table is hard to… Read more
click in with ons sidev working first then trying to get the other in with out the other side comming out and for some reason it will only go into one slot.
If it was't such a pain in the butt to clean the high would be pretty good
as in theory it does every thing you need The heigh adjustable Very hard to clean insert is poor qulity
Good quality and practical – Does everything a highchair needs to do plus more! I liked the adjustable height - it was the only one that could go up to the height of the kitchen bench. Also reclines to three different settings but we didn't use that function much. Love the fact that you can take the tray off and push the arms up so you can push the highchair up against the… Read more
kitchen table when bubs starts wanting to eat at the table with Mum and Dad!
The tray is large and has a cup holder which is handy. And unlike some cheaper highchairs, the tray is really easy to put on and take off. The harness is easy for adults to use but hard for little fingers to release. Can also be wheeled around easily which is good.
The vinyl type fabric is so easy to wipe clean and the whole thing comes apart easily if you need to clean underneath the fabric or if food gets stuck where the harness comes through. Good colour choice and modern designs so you can choose one that suits your decor.
Good quality - we've had ours for nearly 2 years and it still looks new. Functional and practical, good quality, has wheels, cup holder, double tray, secure harness, adjustable height, can recline, easy to clean, nice colour choices The only thing I've ever disliked about it is that the brakes don't seem to work very well. It still moves around when the brakes are on.
Fantastic chair! – This chair is comfortable, easy to wheel around and operate, and great for young and old children. I love that the tray can be taken off from handles at the sides, as well as at the front. The fabric seems durable and is relatively easy to clean. I found this highchair was well worth the money. Reliable, Comfortable, Easy to Operate. On the more expensive side.
Quite Happy with the purchase – Love the features that comes with this high chair and absolutely love the color I chose (Brindle). Some people would complain about how hard it is to clean the highchair. I would just simply vacuum all the crumps once a week and just give a quick wipe on the spot if there are any food residuals. Also my husband didn't find it hard at all to… Read more
assemble it and haven't had any problems with the seat belt so far. (when I tried the seat belt on the Portebebe high chair in the store, it was very stiff!)
Overall we are really enjoying this high chair at the moment. Full of features and great design and color (Brindle) Not cheap
Good highchair but poor quality after 15 months – The highchair is very sturdy and good for a young baby but my child is now 20 months and I find he doesn't need the big sturdy highchair and a smaller one that takes up less room would be better, but it was fantastic when he was younger. Unfortunately less than 15 months after purchase the insert that he sits on has started to split and I was told… Read more
by Love N Care that it's out of warranty and a replacement would be $35. I have taken very good care of this highchair and am disappointed by their response as $35 every 15 months for the next 5-6 years to get me through my planned next 2 children is unacceptable on a highchair that was one of the more expensive ones on the market. Good basket underneath for holding bibs/wipes etc, the 2 trays is fantastic and a huge plus, height allows the seat to go very high which is great for allowing him to see what I'm doing the bench tops Very hard to clean, padded seat is splitting after only 15 months,
Pretty good – Techno highchair by lovencare is a durable and safe highchair. It offers at lease 6 different heights that you can set it at. It comes with two tables which can be easily taken off and cleaned. The highest hieght setting fits easily at a table. Easy to clean. Hard to understand manual to set it up.
Excellent – So glad we decided to get this highchair - wouldn't swap it for anything. It took hours+++ of researching but worth every minute!!! Extra high seat when in the highest position - excellent for taller people so you don't have to stoop to feed them or interact with them when you are standing. Easily adjustable seat positions - I can do this myself… Read more
without help with bubs in the seat (she is currently 7kg). Sturdy clip which bubs can't undo but easily clips together. Very easy to clean straps - minimal places for crumbs/mush to get stuck in. Removable washable insert for spills. Easily wipeable vinyl seat cover. Very stylish looking! (looks like leather!). Removable top tray so bubs can keep playing after dinner. Tray sits close to bubs so she can reach everything or further away so she can't! :) Wheels roll easily & lock for safety. Very sturdy design - feel safe even when our 20kg dog jumps up to see what our bubs is eating that day :) Extremely comfy padding & seat reclines (easily) - excellent for those that start solids early & can't yet sit up by themselves. Barrier between legs to stop wiggly bodies from sliding out underneath! When adjusting the position of the tray it doesn't click in very well in some positions. So far this hasn't been an issue though as once it is finally in place it stays there.
Good – Great chair other than the problems with clicking the tray into place. The various adjustments you can do with the chair are very handy to have in a high chair. My baby gets her food everywhere and thankfully this chair is very easy to keep clean. The tray is removable which is a bonus. This chair is good for young babies as you can lay the chair… Read more
right back. You can remove the tray and fold the arms up to then slide the chair to your dining table. The chair can be adjusted up or down so that you have your child at a comfortable height for when feeding. I have problems when clicking the tray into place. It never seems to click right in and then moves which can be very annoying. You have to give it a good yank to make sure its in place.
