We were given this product at a baby shower and were thrilled to get it. There are four basic features that we love.

1. It reclines. Our baby loves taking naps after meals in this chair. She cries when we take her out of it. When she had colic, my husband would put her in it and rock her back and forth. It was a great short-term substitute for a swing. The locks on the wheels do lock too easily, though.

2. It has a machine washable, reversible cover with a cute color scheme. We just throw it in the washer, and it's good as new. Most baby gear items on the market are very masculine looking, but this is suitable for either a boy or a girl. My child tries to turn around to look at the cartoon bears at the top of the headrest.

3. The seat lowers down to the ground. We didn't think we would use this feature, but it has come in handy a few times. It also folds flat by two buttons on each side, but we haven't tried this out. We use the chair at each meal, so there is never a reason to store it. But, it's good to know that it has that option. As thick as the chair is I doubt the folding would allow it to fit in a small closet or other small storage area anyway. The fold buttons and seat lowering buttons are not labeled, so it's best to set the height of the chair before placing the child in it. There is no resistance when you hit the lower buttons, so if a child was in it, the seat would probably plummet quickly.

4. The two-part tray is removable. It does stick sometimes when we are trying to put it on, but I think the side of ours might be off a bit. It has an easy release button hidden under the middle of the tray, but then you have to slide it off it's track. It's not a quick removal, but it's not that difficult to do. I was surprised how heavy the tray was, and that it's not flat on the bottom. It can easily slide off of a kitchen table if placed right side up.

This high-chair is very durable, and my baby seems very comfortable in it.

I wish the straps were designed better. They are hard to get just tight enough. I have pinched my finger several times trying to get the straps buckled.

Also, my baby was about 4 months old before she could sit well in it. But, we didn't start her on solids till after then, so she didn't need to sit in it before then. She likes to play with the vertical bar under the tray, and when the tray isn't on she sucks on the bar. Without the tray in place, I don't think the bar and seat belts would keep a toddler with a will to do so from climbing out using the fold-up footrest. As of now, her little legs (she is normal height for an 8-month-old) don't come anywhere near that footrest, and I'm unsure how tall she is going to have to be before it gets any use from her.

We think it is certainly worth the money spent for the daily use we get out of it.
