Very happy
I bought this high chair for my 6 month old with EOFY sales. I am very happy with this high chair.
The one major fault which is why I gave it 4 stars is the shoulder straps are too loose. I do only have a small baby however even having them on the tightest length is too loose. this is something that needs to be redesigned.
The chair itself is easy to wipe clean and easy to move around the kitchen on tiles. The tray having the 2 pull out settings is good as well. The tray does feel a bit clunky when doing this but it may be because it’s a brand new chair ? Having the tray store on the back legs of the high chair is fantastic.
Overall the high chair is very easy to use and change the height settings etc.
Purchased in June 2020 at Baby Kingdom Physical store for $199.00.

I don't recommend this high chair
We got given this high chair second hand. I wouldn't recommend it. The tray is too high and the seat is too low, so my one year old can not get his arms high enough to feed himself in a comfortable position. Such a crucial design fault. Also, there is no solid piece of plastic to go between their legs so he can slip under quite easily if I forget to do the safety harness up. It's also hard to clean, the food gets into the folds of the seat cover.
It does roll around the kitchen quite easily though, and thats great.
The seat tilts backward...
Read mores which is great when you've got a newborn baby who can not support themselves yet. I'd recommend you buy a Fisher-Price Rainforest Healthy Care or something similar. My friend has one and its great. How easily it rolls around the kitchen and how the seat tilts backways The seat is too low and the tray is too high for the baby to feed itself properly.OK
A very good chair bar this massive problem.
I think there should have been some design addition to stop the loop (potential noose) being pulled out of the back of the chair.
The strap loop problem could possibly be solved by somehow tying the straps together on the sitting side of the chair – IMHO this is something that should be done to all chairs sold and future chairs of this model manufactured.
Easy to use good looking design.
IMHO a massive oversight in safety within the design has been made (the instructions do say not to let child...

Good
I'm glad we have this high chair, it is sturdy and stable not like some of the flimsy ones and I can be sure it wont tip over, especially like using it as a little chair for playing and watching TV.
The adjustable height is really handy for me, low is like a little chair and high for feeding at the table. It is easy to clean and the tray comes off, so you can wash the lot in the sink and the whole seat pad can be washed as well.
The wheels are not great, they don't move well on our flooring.

Bad
Total waste of money as a feeding chair. Ok for strapping a kid in layback mode for a nap or to watch a movie etc. That's about all. Useless for eating at unless you are feeding them until they are at least two. They can not feed themselves earlier with ease as the tray is too high and too far away. Disgusting to clean.
the harness is safe
All padded chairs are really hard to clean (food gets trapped in crannies you don't even know are there!....quite yucky. and is it really necessary to have all that padding for a meal?) It is huge. Tak...

I loved this highchair, it has gone through 2 children and have had no problems with it. To clean it I would remove the tray and give the tray and chair a wipe over with disinfectant, and for meals like spaghetti or rice (which we all know that kids love) I would take it outside and hose it down - thats right I would hose it down with the garden hose. Then get a old cotton nappy and wipe it over to dry!! Done!! And I have been doing this to the same highchair for 5 1/2 years then recently sold it at a garage sale as I no longer needed it. Perfect High Chair.
Everything!! oh except. . .
Very bulky and expensive for a high chair!!

Terrible
This highchair has lots of great features without being too expensive. Just the one minor problem, but you can booste the bub up with a folded towel under the cover of the chair
This chair has many great features including adjustable hight making it easy to help feed baby whether I'm sitting on the floor or at the table. Five point adjustable harness to keep baby safe, drink holder to stop drink from spilling, easy to clean stylish and padded cover that is removable. Lockable castors. the tray can be attached to the back of chair when not in use. folds down well for storage
the tray sits too high up making it hard for him to get his little arms up enough to feed himself.

We bought this for our daughter who used it from the age of six months until she no longer needed a high chair - it served her well for the duration. The tray has a spring-loaded handle for releasing it from the chair. This rusted through and snapped but was replaced under warranty. Thereafter, I didn't immerse the tray in water when washing it. We kept it fastidiously clean which took some care as there are flaps, straps, creases and crevices that trap food. It folds flat but is still quite bulky - not suited for travelling.
Safe, sturdy, height-adjustable
Tray locking mechanism broke (replaced under warranty), bulky

Overall this is an excellant highchair. I also like the adjustable tray and adjustable height which is good if I want to sit on the floor with my bub. Also when he falls asleeps eating I can just tilt the seat backwards until he wakes up. You can also fold the footrest up when it gets in the way.
Easy to clean, nicely padded for bub, nice big tray with drink holder which I thought was a bit usless at first until my son was old enough to reach it. Now his drink is only allowed in the cup holder!
Castor wheels lock too easily

I love this highchair!! It is very similar to some Peg perego chairs but more affordable. The tray is easy to clean and the seat is comfortable for the child. I use it for both my children (ages 22 months and 4 months)and it is still in really good condition after almost 2 years of use. We've even taken it camping! The seat is great too, as with a lot of cheaper models a young child will topple over in the seat, with this one the baby has support on the sides which makes all the difference to feeding a 5 month old!

Great highchair for an affordable price. It is easy to clean (and keep clean) as the whole padding/cover comes off to get to the crumbs that get underneath the padding/cover. Really easy to adjust height and to adjust recline position. Very stable tray when positioned at front and clicks into place so child cannot remove the tray. Safety harness to stop the little escapists standing up and falling out. Good quality castors that move around easily both on solid floor and carpets. Suitable for a child first eating solids to a 2 year old (as possibly beyond).
Safe, easy to clean, reclines & height adjustable, top quality but affordable, durable.
tray does not always sit when stored on the hooks at the back when not in use

Kurt Lehmannasked
We just bought the chair second hand. The safety straps to put over the baby's shoulders are missing. Can they be bought from you?

I think it's removable though. We took it off to clean it.
