Phil & Teds Poppy

Love it – Lovely high chair, easy to pull apart and clean, light when moving around, I love that it can convert into a little chair when kids are older and aren’t using a high chair anymore Show details

Do not buy this high chair – The liner/cover for the high chair has come off on one side after only one month of use with a small 6 month old baby. The liner/cover is very difficult to clean as it is roughened enough for the food to stick in and not come out. The straps are flimsy and hard to work and clean. There are many other more affordable and better options. Show details

Definitely better and cheaper highchairs – Pro's- looks good, comfy for baby to sit in, the tray is really easy to clean. Cons- legs are major trip hazard, Hard to clean- the seat material has little pattern mean food gets stuck and in the front section there is a hole for food to fall in and never be seen again unless you pull it apart and hose it down outside which you unfortunately… Read more

have to do regularly. Straps are useless and get in the way and hard to clean, so we don't use them.

Some of these would be so easy to fix if Phil and Ted's made a fabric/plastic washable seat cover for it that covered the hole. But alas i have only seen my friend make one herself- none to be purchased.

Definitely should have listened to others advice and just bought the cheap IKEA chair...

Do not buy this product – I would not recommend this high chair at all. Pros Looks good Cons 1. Dangerous - everyone trips over the legs they stick out really badly. My mother in law actually hurt herself Christmas Day tripping over it. 2. Hard to clean - the straps get covered in food and food gets caught all throughout the seat and almost impossible to… Read more

get it all out

3. The straps do not work at all. They are at the tightest setting and they just fall off. Does not seem secure at all.

4. Uncomfortable - my daughter seems very uncomfortable in this chair. She arches her back and cries. At my mothers house she has the ikea high chair and my daughter will happily sit in it for ages playing watching us eat and laughing

5. Really hard to get in and out - my mother can not get her in and out of this high chair if the table is still on. If my mother is over at mine looking after her she has to feed her in the pram.

This is my personal view. We actually bought it because my sister in law had it for her son and could not say a bad word about it so I guess it really depends on the individual. I do love most of the Phil and Ted brand and feel like they can make some amazing products. This high chair is not ideal for my daughter and I. The main thing that really gets me is the tripping over you just don’t see how stuck out the legs are and I just keep tripping. In a constant tired state it is so easy to do lol!

Mostly good, but safety issue and tray could be better – Overall I find the chair pretty good, and I'd probably buy one again. It's moderately easy to clean, but the textured surface makes it a bit more difficult. The straps are somewhat difficult to clean, usually they have to go into the sink for a good wash and dry. The shoulder straps are next to useless. They're anchored at the base, they… Read more

slip off as soon as they're put on. You might as well not bother with them. The leg straps are fine, but a really energetic baby can get out of them. Between the tray and leg straps most babys won't be able to escape easily, but as they get a bit older I suspect some or many will be able to get out.

They tray's good, but because it's curved across almost its entire surface it's difficult to get suction things to attach. You can get a bowl to suck down in the middle, but near the edges where we wanted to put a suction toy it just wouldn't stay on.

wish I hadn't wasted my money – So I got this chair because it looked easy to clean and had a nice look to it...... boy was I wrong. Where do I start! .The straps never stay on my babies shoulders .the chair has a pattern through the foam meaning if you don't wipe it straight away everything sticks to it . Straps are a nightmare to remove and clean. Baby's arms can get… Read more

trapped between the chair and tray when putting the tray on

. Legs are a tripping hazard

.food gets caught in the gap for the tray/leg strap

Seriously save yourself some dollars and get the $30 high chair from IKEA, It is 100 times better than this high chair if you want somethig user friendly and easy to clean.

Good product but it could be better – We have two of these for our twins. Not the best high chair to start introducing solids but, it is easy to clean on the spot and its design is simple. Its legs are a tripping hazard though. If you really want to get it clean, removing its cover and straps can a be a pain. Other than that, is a high chair that would last as it can be use as a chair later on.

Not safe – Even with the straps firmly fastened, my 16 month old can slip off the shoulder straps and stand up in the chair! It would be safer if the shoulder straps were located above the shoulders. Very disappointing considering the price. Straps aren't easy to clean either. I would not recommend this chair.

Great chair with some flaws – Great design for my petite daughter. She looks comfortable sitting in an upright position and the chair has an attractive sleek look with a large tray. It is easy to wipe over but food gets under the seat skin and I need to wash the chair in the dishwasher once a week. In comparison, I found that other high chairs with padding were also difficult… Read more

to clean and many were far too large for my daughter and still quite bulky.

The over shoulder straps are useless but the lap straps are ok. The chair legs are wide and best situated in low traffic areas to avoid tripping over them, however the wide legs prevent the chair from tipping (my daughter pushes her feet against the dining table). I also like that the chair can convert to a small chair when the high chair is no longer needed. I recommend this chair but consider the pros and cons to ensure it meets your needs as it did mine.

Great high chair – This is a very good high chair. I like the design (we have the green one), I think it's quite elegant in its simplicity. It is really easy to clean. The only con I can think of are the legs - they are really wide. If your space is not huge, you may end up tripping over it.

stylish but flawed – My main problem with this chair is that if you put the baby in the seat and then put the plastic tray on, it is possible to trap their hands or arms between the seat and the tray if they have their arms hanging down the sides of the chair. I have done this on several occasions. I have also pinched my baby's legs once when pushing the tray on to… Read more

the white part that projects from the middle of the chair. Now we put the tray on first then put the baby in to avoid these issues.

In addition, the legs are splayed out at such an angle that they are a trip hazard.

Like other reviewers I purchased this chair over other chairs with soft covers thinking that it would be easier to clean, like the plastic Ikea ones that are so popular. Unfortunately food tends to fall into the holes that the straps come out of and gets stuck under the silicone cover where it then festers until you have time to remove the cover to clean it.

I was seduced by this chair's good looks, but in hindsight I should have just gone with something like the Ikea chair.

I would not buy this seat again or recommend it to a friend! – I purchased this seat when my Bub was 6 months old, so I didn't need all the bells and whistles of a fully reclining, thickly padded, multi tray, can almost wash the dishes for you high/low chair that would take up the space of 2 regular chairs. I opted for the (more expensive!) Phil & Teds Poppy because it was promoted as 'easy use, easy care… Read more

and easy clean' and of course it didn't look as 'baby' like and it would last my child much longer because it converts to a small chair...

Boy was I mislead! This chair is terrible and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! The shoulder straps come up from the child's bottom and cross over the back (so they aren't attached to the back of the chair to hold the child back). They're always twisted and the wrong length (so they are an absolute pain in the rear to put on in the first place) and then they have to be extremely tight to prevent them sliding off the child's shoulders. I ended up removing mine completely and only use the 3 point lap belt.

Of course the legs are a draw back too (didn't notice them in the shop, and don't notice them at home until I trip over them!). The chair itself takes up about 30cm of space, but the legs stick out over 70+cm square! Even my 3yo asked why the legs stick out so far lol

But the biggest issue I have is keeping it clean. Every meal little crumbs/slithers of cheese/chunks of meat/pieces of cereal/fruit/vegetables are dropped and always slip down under the silicon cover and into a maze of small crevasses that is virtually impossible to clean without a high pressure washer! (I keep a squirt bottle handy because running tap water and/or a cloth just can't clean it out).

If your still thinking of purchasing, make sure you have an extensive look at the shop. Put your baby in, take your baby out, go for a walk and put Bub in again. Take off the meal tray and the silicone cover and have a look at what you are going to have to clean after each meal and have a think about what happens if Bub spills a cup of milk or a bowl of spaghetti Bol all over the straps.

I'm sure this chair suits some people. But it's not for me. I wish I got a different chair, especially for the price.

Terrible - I got rid of it and bought a $30 Ikea one instead! – I bought this highchair as I thought it would be easy to clean, but a bit more comfy and stylish than the cheap Ikea one. The tray is very easy to wipe over, but the texture of the seat means that food really needs to be scrubbed to get it off. However the big issue is that food and water easily gets down the crevice where the between the legs… Read more

part of the seat belt and the seat post are. To get into this area you need to remove the silicone seat and underneath this there is all sorts of ridiculous moulding which is a festy breeding ground for ick. Please do yourself a favour and if you are thinking of buying this chair, pull the silicone seat up in the shop and have a look at where you are going to be scrubbing food out of. We've relegated this chair to infrequent use at Nanna's and bought the $30 Ikea one for use at home now. Should have just bought the cheapie in the first place!

Otherwise, yes the legs stick out quite a bit, but this hasn't bothered us much. The shoulder straps of the seatbelt are fairly useless as they don't actually pass through the seat back, so don't hold your baby into or against the seat. Because of this we've only been using the belt in three point mode. But seriously, the difficulties in cleaning this seat adequately are ridiculous for a seat which I think appeals to lots of people because of it's seemingly easy to clean design!! DONT BUY IT!!!

Good HOWEVER – I love this chair; I really do but I have two issues. One: the seat belt is entirely useless. Two: How wide the legs are on the floor. I read the reviews and thought, 'how bad can it really be?' But I'm here to tell you that it can be pretty unpleasant watching your four year old trip over it multiple times a day. Then you do it yourself. The your… Read more

hubby does it. The you get annoyed and go to IKEA and buy the cheap restaurant style one. (we actually converted it to a toddler seat early and threw away the table top and legs in frustration and I must admit I feel stupid now. The seat was great - I just got so tired of tripping over all the time plus you couldn't place it up close to a wall because of the legs). It's probably great for a big dining room or wide kitchen but in small spaces I wouldn't recommend it.

Practical and beautiful! – practicality is very important to us so I love that this high chair converts to a normal chair and the material of the chair is easy to clean as is the tray. Initially I could not remove the tray with one hand but have now gotten the hang of it. Baby is now 1yo and I can easily get her in and out without having to remove the tray table.

Love it! – after much searching to find a chair that suited my daughters needs, our space, budget and style I stumbled upon the poppy high chair. I have had the poppy for a while now and my daughter and I absolutely love it. its stylish, functional and budget friendly. easy to clean and use and unlike alot of other chairs, its able to grow with my… Read more

Daughter by converting into the my chair.

the tray is a great large size as my daughter loves to moosh and swoosh food around the tray, it cleans very easy, just a wipe down with a cloth or pop it in the dish washer.

the legs are easily removed and fit nicely into the seat for storage in my kitchen cupboard.

very happy with my purchase.

Stylish high chair, not easy to clean – ** Review update - having had this chair for quite a while now I would have to say that the seat is not as easy to clean as I first thought. Over time more and more food gets stuck in the texture of the seat piece and it's so difficult to get out. A smooth surface would be much better. ** Love this highchair! The seat is just one piece… Read more

and so easy to clean, as is the large tray. I particularly wanted a chair that didn't have cushions or any places for food to get stuck. It looks great too and actually matches our other dining chairs which are a red molded plastic! I don't bother using the shoulder harness straps, and in fact I can't see how a baby could get out with the table in place. We are often tripping over the legs however, and I don't think that they are wider than other high chairs, but compared to the top the legs stick out wider than you expect. stylish, easy to clean, converts to a chair when not required as a high chair any more, baby looks comfortable and secure, excellent price often tripping over legs

Beautiful look but terrible design – I bought this highchair because it looked so easy to clean. I thought with a smooth seat like that the sponge would just glide over and if worst comes to worst it should survive a good hose down reasonably well. Boy was I wrong. Sure it looks beautiful but that cover has just the right amount of texture to store a lil of last nights bolognese. Not… Read more

only that, but the only way to remove the lower harness straps for washing is with a screwdriver. Then, if you have a child who is inclined to create an impressionist masterpiece with this mornings oatmeal, and decide "yes, I think it is time for a good ol' hose down", you will find that the chair leaks fluero orange juice for weeks, because under the beautiful minimalist facade is a freakin labyrinth of plastic to catch water/food/disgusting goop. Also the spot where you click the hollow metal legs into is wide open so all of that water makes it's way down to the feet and waits until you go to store the chair away, removing the legs and whoooosh big rusty puddles across your floor. Don't bother....go to ikea, at least they're cheap.

Not that great – I found that for a young baby this was no good as it would position bub too far forward. No recline. My friends 1 year old sat in it and he looked like a giant in it. I don't think it would last very long. The back could also be a be higher for better back support. legs are wide and yep I also tripped in them. I ended up taking it back

Great! – I just received this chair today after purchasing on sale from Toys'r'Us and I have to say I think it's love at first sight! I bought this chair to replace our big padded Steelcraft highchair which has great for our daughter for the past 12 months however I m grew tired of having to clean out the padding and lining so thoroughly after each use as… Read more

food would get into every nook and cranny! This Poppy highchair though was a breeze to clean! And I dont think it even got as messy to start with as my daughter was able to sit more upright and closer to the tray than she was in her previous highchair. So I think it's brilliant! The legs are nice and sturdy so I have no concerns of safety at all. Some people have complained of the leg span however I have measured it and it is exactly the same as our old traditional highchair, so no issues for me there. I also love the look of this chair, it blends in nicely with our decor. Oh and I see no issue with the harness straps which other people seem to. So no complaints from me! Very happy with this purchase!

I tried to like it, but could not every time I tripped over the legs. Aaagh – Looks great but such a hazard, the legs are way out there that its not funny any more. Specially when carrying your child and tripping. Would not recommend in small spaces.

best so far but buckle could be improved – Just bought today and have trialed for a Couple of meals. I LOVE the easy wipe down and compared to others does not have crevaces for food to get in. It does have the wide legs but being at the end of the table is no concern for us atm. I love the ease of removing the tray, the plastic to sit between the legs to stop from sliding. My little miss… Read more

is quite petite id imagine as she gets bigger I wont be able to slide her in whilst the tray there. I like how the tray goes around so she can reach her whole arms on it. (We have also used a bumboo and tray and its not big enough). I like that we will be able to change it to a child seat when little kiss is older but wish it was a little bit shorter so that it could be sat up at our table without squishing her legs. Also it would be a 5 star if the buckle was easier to use. I feel the same way about prams and car seats. I feel I spend about 20 minutes of a busy day buckeling and unbuckeling into seats

Really Happy with this purchase – I Purchased the poppy high chair about 2 months ago and absolutely love it!! It's very easy to clean (no huge padded cushion for the food to get stuck in) and it also has a large tray the wraps around the front. It's also very reasonably priced. I price matched at baby bunting, so got it for $129. My daughters looks very comfortable in it and I… Read more

love the cranberry colour!

Would highly recommend this chair. Looks stylish and can be lowered to a child chair in the future. Really easy to clean. Legs are a tad wide on the bottom, have tripped over them a couple of times.

Great high chair! – Came across this high chair in store and loved the look and design of the chair as well as the bright colours available. Such a clever design - easy to clean, comfortable for my baby, great large tray, lightweight and easy to manoeuvre around the house and pack away and best of all - it's a great looking chair! Easy to assemble and convert to a toddler chair. Really happy with my purchase and think the price was very reasonable. Everything!

Stylish looking and big tray – Bought this after reading the positive review about this high chair. I got the lime colour and it does look great. Really love the big tray and easy to clean. The safety strap is not great but ok to use. The legs of the chair spread out so wide and got trip over very easily. Quite happy with it at a price of $149. Nice looking. Big tray. Easy to clean. The legs of the chair spread very wide apart and need to be careful not to get trip over.

Love it – My hubby and I didn't want a highchair with lots of spots for food to get stuck in, so we settled on this chair. super happy with our purchase. Very easily put together i did it in around 5 minutes it just clicks together. my daughter loves sitting in her chair always looks comfy. So easy to clean and i love that the tray is large enough to put… Read more

finger foods out for my daughter but small enough to fit in the sink for easy cleaning. I didn't attach the shoulder harness we just use the waist harness and tray to keep her in. The legs are a bit sticky out but looking at a girlfriends highchair i don't think it takes up more space its just that the unit isn't as bulky so we sometimes trip on it. great price. easy to clean, looks very modern, inexpensive, my daughter loves it. legs get in the way.

Close to perfect – I didn't want a bulky 90's highchair and came across this one by chance. Easy to clean, easy to get bub in and out, 5 point harness is great, I like how the tray 'wraps around' but will probably have to get the bigger one at some point. The main selling point really was that it'll be a stylish little seat once it's no longer needed. A chair once… Read more

baby times over, easy to disassemble, easy to clean - no hidden food traps! Trendy looking - more for me as it's a constant feature in the dining room (selfish I know) The legs are a hazard for the husband who keeps kicking them. They stick out quite a bit compared to traditional chairs. The straps have to be wiped immediantly if dirtied as they aren't detachable in anyway (which only makes it safer though I feel)

Excellent - love this high chair – This is one of the best high chairs out there. I sold my mocka high chair as it was unsafe as my child keep falling through it. This however is great. I have a 20 month old and a 8 month old and have two of these chairs. Well done Phil and Teds for designing something that is safe, stylish and useable. If you are looking for a no nonsense high… Read more

chair that doesn't cost the earth then this is it. It is so easy to clean. The tray is positioned in the correct place for your child. The harness comes with the high chair so no extra hidden costs. It converts into a chair once you have finished with it as a high chair. Can't find anything wrong with it.

Great practical high chair – Stylish, easy to assemble & pack away, wipes down easily after feeds, tray big enough for 4-5 toys at a time, comfortable for our 6 month old who is able to sit in it, engage & play at the table. We've loved it so much, both grandparents now also have one. Also cost efficient with transition to toddler seat. Get one! Stylish, economical, easy to clean, comfortable for child, easy to disassemble & store

Sleek, stylish and no nonsense – I love this highchair. It is great if you want a fairly simple 'easy' chair. It is not bulky and there is no cushion or crevices for food and germs to get stuck in. It is easily wiped down. The tray table comes off easily for cleaning. It is stable and my 11 month old sits nice and comfortably in it AND it converts into a very cute little kiddies hair once your child outgrows the chair. It's easy to clean. It's not bulky.

Stylish and practical – We've swapped from a traditional chunky looking high chair to the cool phil&teds poppy. The bright coloured modern design really appealed to us. We also liked the fact that it can be used as a toddler chair when we've finished using it as a high chair. Going from high chair to toddler chair is easy, you just remove one of the poles from each leg… Read more

and unscrew the harness piece (you get a plug piece in the box so you don't have a hole where the harness was). The tray although not overly large is amble size for a child's meal and fits well around our child. In our old chair there was quite a big gap between the tray and our son so food was always dropping down the gap and getting his clothes not covered by the bib dirty. The harness comes up from the base of the seat but you get used to that. Being able to just wipe it down after a meal is a huge bonus. No more digging into the seams trying to get our squished food! they say the seat and tray can go into the dishwasher but we haven't tried that yet. We've found it easy enough to just wipe it down. looks stylish, easy to clean, more than just a high chair could trip over legs if not watching where you're going
