Perfect for a small kitchen and a busy mom!

The Bottom Line: This is a great product that will fit the need of babies from 3 months to three years!
We bought this high chair/booster seat when our son was 3 months old. We bought it early since it was on sale (about $50 at Walmart) and we knew it was the one we wanted. In the beginning, he used the chair to sit in and play with toys whenever we needed to be fixing meals. Now that he is six months old and starting solids, it's working out great for our needs.
It really is a "space saver" both in the kitchen and when in storage. However, in contrast to many others, it has all the features of a full sized model. The seat has several reclining positions for any age baby, eliminating the need to feed those first meals in a bouncy chair or on your lap. The tray adjusts to sit level, no matter what the baby's recline position. The tray is easy to remove both with two hands or with the one handed release. It is very easy to wipe down and is also dishwasher safe. The seat is well cushioned and soft but covered with an easily sponged material-not sloth that would stain. It is also machine washable. The pattern is fairly neutral and goes well in most kitchens (we have a sage green with tan circles--there is another pattern in BRIGHT greens-yuck!) The straps are also nice--a five point harness that my husband calls his jet-fighter seat! They do keep him nice and secure and are easy to lock and unlock with one hand. As for the future, the top part of the seat removes to create a toddler booster seat. I'm a sucker for multi-use products, and can see us using it for many years. A great product!
Also FYI--Fisher-Price is FANTASTIC for customer service! We had a swing that was not working and our son didn't like much and they easily refunded our money with a voucher even though we had no receipt or anything! They can't be beat!
