Perfect solution with an EZ-fix for the "gap"

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2019

Item just arrived so I'll return to this review if my opinion changes but I am very impressed with the quality and comfort of this item. One reviewer complained about the crumb-catcher gap between the table and the seat. This is easily solved using a cheap cutting board sheet (About $6 for a pack of 4). I simply cut two small notches approx 1" wide X 2" deep so the cutting board would fit around the side bars and slid the cutting board/placemat right up to the edge of the seat. (My cutting boards have been heavily used and subjected to dishwasher so they are a little warped.) Now my table surface is protected from the clamps, I have an easy-to-clean placemat for the little one, and have eliminated the ready-made crumb slot. Top it off with a crumb-catching silicone bib.

Fell off the table with baby in it.

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2017

Worked great at first. Then one day the chair just fell off the side of the table with the baby in it.

good concept but material and design flaws make it a terrible burden to clean

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2017

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

the idea of this chair is good. i love baby sitting up to table with us but there are some major flaws to consider. If your baby does not make any messes at all then this would be ok. but this is real life. the material is hard to clean. the velcro piece that covers the buckle traps food and i have to use a scrub brush and toothbrush to clean this chair. the seat traps everything and has grooves along inside edge that is impossible to get clean, plus the seat portion lifts up so that means stuff gets under it too. It says the cover is removable for washing which i thought was great, but come to find out you have to disassemble it to get it off and wash it, which i don't want to do every single day. The tray is cool, but it is curved at the front edge (by baby) so that half of the food falls right into the space between your baby and the tray- making the food falling into seat as well as a small space on the table even worse and more clean up. half of the time i just leave it off because i will have to clean the table so much anyway. Id like to take this chair and make some modifications and then it would be a great idea!

The material S U C K S

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2020

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

For the reviewers that said they "LOVE" this highchair... you're outta your mind. I used this for the first time on a 4 day vacation and then for 2 months (ever day) at Grandma's and it sucked. The material alone is worth 0 stars. My baby is 1 yr old and is eating solids. Food gets stuck in every single crevice in the seat and smushed into the material on the arms. I'm used to a plastic chair that is easy to wipe so the fabric was different to deal with. I would wipe it down with a scrub sponge and soap after every use and it still had food trapped in it. It began to smell too. Washing it daily isn't an option. Taking it apart is also not an easy thing. I feel like I'm wrestling with it. I searched high and low for a cleanable cover for this and did find an etsy seller but she couldn't get me the cover until I was back home with my plastic chair. As far as a 'travel' highchair, sure... it's fine. But for every day...hell no. If any product designers from Inglesina are reading this, please make a vinyl cover that is easy to clean.

I decided on this one b/c it seemed the most compact and easy to travel with

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2016

Color: NavyVerified Purchase

We were going on a trip and decided to get a "high chair" to travel with when we went to visit family who didn't have any babies or kids. I decided on this one b/c it seemed the most compact and easy to travel with. It folds relatively flat and fits in our suit case nicely. It is easy to attach to the table once you get the hang of it and easy to take it down and fold back in the included carry bag. What I like about this style of chair is that it puts baby and a good height to the table to sit and eat comfortably. The restaurant high chairs often sit too short compared to the table which usually falls around shoulder height for my 8 month old. When we got it home it wouldn't fit on our dining room table b/c our table had a lip underneath. And to our disappointment, some of the restaurants that we went to also had lips under the table and we could not use this chair. This has happened maybe 1 out of every 5 restaurants that we went to. What I like about this style of chair is that it puts baby and a good height to the table to sit and eat comfortably. The restaurant high chairs often sit too short compared to the table which usually falls around shoulder height for my 8 month old. If I were to change one thing about this chair, it would be to allow maybe just another 1/2 inch more of "give" to fit tables with that lip underneath the table.

Thinking of Baby Led Weaning? This high chair isn't for you.

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2020

Color: Dark GreenVerified Purchase

The chair is attractive and it's so nice to have baby at the kitchen island with us. However, I don't think a parent designed this, and if they did, they didn't do baby-led weaning (BLW). First, the chair is fabric and it's not easy to get the fabric free of the base, so it's not convenient to wash. Second, there is a gap between the chair and the table, so when baby grabs food and brings it to his/her mouth, it most often falls through the gap (I've had to duct tape that gap closed so all baby's food doesn't end up on the floor). Third, the parts/arms that attach to the table have a ridged gap where all food gets caught between the handles and the table, and this causes a gross crust to form. You'll need to detach and clean underneath it after every meal unless you get creative like I have and cover it with duct tape. It's just not a good chair if you're doing BLW. Get something made entirely of wood or plastic so that you can clean it. If you are spoon-feeding your child purees and plan on only doing that, then have at it! This chair would be fine for that, I suppose. If you're BLW, DON'T GET THIS CHAIR.

Good Idea, A Couple Problems

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2017

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I love the concept of these chairs, but there are a couple issues.

1. Despite the name, this is not one of the faster chairs to install at a restaurant. See Guzzie+Gus for a faster alternative. If you imagine the thickness of some table edges - that's how far you have to basically screw and unscrew the clamp. It's a little tedious, but not the end of the world I guess.
2. When the baby sits in this chair, it kind of tilts them forward, so they wind up at the front of the chair - with their legs dangling essentially. Instead of sitting back in the chair, with their back against the back and their upper legs on the seat - if that makes any sense. I will say that this chair has a much better butt base than the G+G one, but for some reason it still has that same problem. I remember doing all the research on baby carriers and leg/hip positions, so this didn't seem ideal if you're going to be at a meal for any big length of time.

Otherwise, the quality seemed good. It was very safe and sturdy (we definitely tested that). It's a good chair, but we opted for a booster seat because of the reasons listed.

Some design flaws

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2021

Color: Dark GreenVerified Purchase

On my third kid here, and tried this one for the last round. Tons of good reviews, company has been making this seat for awhile, must be amazing.. nah not really.

It’s comfortable. Padding everywhere, no cold metal bars if the baby’s shirtless. Material is durable. It looks great.

But - the plastic tray is essential and not included. You have to buy it and use it every time, or food will get pushed under the top bars holding it to the counter and get really gross. Plus, it takes crazy force just to snap into place.

When the baby was really small she smashed food into all the unnecessary crevices this chair has. It’s like the designed it like you have to take it off the counter and pressure wash it weekly. Why does the bottom cushion fold up only to completely trap food under it? You have to vacuum it here unless you wanna take it off. And there are crevices next to the leg holes with 3 month old grains of rice stuck in them. Make this thing wipe able where you can remove all food when it’s installed without a vacuum.

I guess all in all it’s just over comforted and thus, hard to clean. And the food under the counter bars is ridic. Nobody wants to uninstall this frequently.

But hey, it looks great!

Great product at first!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2020

Color: Dark GreenVerified Purchase

We owned a previous chair this style and it lasted through many kids, and we only got rid of it because the plastic started to crack . So when the grandbaby came I wanted another one. Couldn’t find the one I had before so I tried this one.
Like the compactness! Washed up nice. My only concern is I have to move it daily. I would have given 5 stars but im starting to feel like the tightening system feels like its stripping out so it gets a 3 for useful life.
If the screw up tightening clamps get any worse, then this was only a 8 month purchase and we will have to throw it away. Can’t t use it if it will not secure enough to keep the grandbaby safe from pushing himself off of the counter or table right!

Gets incredibly dirty and is very hard to clean

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2016

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

This is another first time mom purchase that in 20/20 hindsight I wish I'd not made.
The Pros: I just love the style, love having my son at the table with us. This "value" was super important to me before my son was eating.
The Cons: Now the "value" of not having a stinky, dirty, difficult to clean, fruit-fly attracting chair as the place that my son sits three times a day is a more important "value" to me. This is not the only hook on chair that is really hard to keep clean, most of the competitors are all made of materials that are very hard to clean, can't be removed, can't be washed in the machine or dishwasher. You have to take a heavy duty brush to this, and even then the seams are still dirty. It takes about five minutes to take off the table, so food gets stuck in the crevices between the arms and the table which is impossible to thoroughly clean out without removing the chair, which you obviously can't do 3 times a day with a baby. This mess helped maintain a HORRIBLE fruit fly situation in our house over the summer. We recently bought the clip on tray (that didn't seem to be available 10mo ago when we got the chair) and that would have helped a lot with the arm crevice situation since it covers the arms. If I were to do it again I'd get one of the high chairs where both the tray and the seat cover can be wiped down easily and also put in the dishwasher.

A pain to take on and off

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2017

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I have a love/hate relationship with this chair:
Pros:
- Well made, nice fabrics, feels very secure when attached properly
- Baby likes sitting in it and it puts him at a good height to eat off the table
- It looks nice and sleek, and not clunky or babyish

Cons:
- To attach/detach the table you have to twist the two poles on the sides to tighten or loosen. This process takes FOREVER. It's extremely frustrating when you are holding a grumpy baby. It might work well if you don't move it often, but it's not great for traveling because of this.
- It doesn't seem to fit 1/3 of the tables we come across at restaurants, etc. I've seen other clip on chairs that can accommodate thicker tables or those with a lip.

Works with very few tables

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2021

Color: Light BlueVerified Purchase

We bought this for a high chair, hut it doesn’t work on 5 different tables and counters we tried. It looked great, but it had to be returned. It doesn’t work on most round tables, tables or counters with a crossbeam near the edge, tables with a non flat edge, etc.
