Chicco Polly Double Pad Highchair Review

We bought this chair for my 6mos old son after having him sit in a few at the store.We also have the Chicco stroller/car seat travel system which we love.
All the high chairs we tried had some little minor annoying feature/flaw. You just have to decide which problem you can live with.On this Chicco high chair the main problem is the tray attach/detach mechanism.Try holding your baby on one arm and taking the tray off with the other, then putting the baby in the seat and putting the tray back on while holding your child back. The tray attaches to the arms via a set of small bolts controlled by a lever on the front of the tray. The arms have to be perfectly parallel and straight for the bolts to find the right holes in the arms, or you have to struggle with it by moving tray back and forth until it clicks in.Whoever designed this tray system should have a severance package waiting for them on their desk in the morning.

The yoke or hump that goes between the child's legs is attached to the tray, not the seat, unlike most other chairs.Not a big deal, but it definitely means you have to strap the kid in when the tray isn't in place.The removable trays are huge and dont fit in my dishwasher, though its not that big of a deal to wipe them down in the sink.
Other than these things its a fine chair, though expensive given the problems above.I'd probably get another type if I had to do it again, but this one works fine enough to leave it alone for now. js

Stokke Tripp Trapp High Chair - Trend Collection Review

I'd have given this chair 5 stars if it weren't so darned impossible to clean. We have a 6 month old, and this is his highchair. He's incredibly messy when he eats (that's how babies are at that age), and cleaning dried baby food off the wood chair isn't the easiest thing in the world to do, especially as excessive moisture will damage the wood.

What's worse is the safety strap that's built into the seat back. Cleaning the strap is extremely difficult. Want to remove the strap and wash it? Be prepapred to not only unscrew the harness attachment from the chair back, but you also have to disassemble the chair to slide the strap off.

Doing that every now and then I suppose would be ok, but after using the chair for just 3 week, the strap is vile and reeks. Having to clean it on a regular basis makes taking the chair apart a major headache.

I'd hold off on buying this chair for babies, wait until the kids are older.

If they would only make the cleaning aspect easier.... sigh.
------------------------------------

Update, 1 year later. My son is now 18 months old, and the chair is much more age appropriate for him. Sure he's still messy, and the strap is kinda gross, but we no longer use the upper body straps, instead we just use the 3 point strap that goes around his legs and waist.It's nice bringing him to the table to eat with us, and as he's grown adjusting the chair has been easy to do.The poor strap design is still unacceptable in my opinion, but otherwise we're really happy we bought the chair now. Gonna change my rating from 3 to 4 stars. Again, for slightly older kids only. If we have a 2nd kid in the future, we wouldn't get a second chair until they're older.

Stokke Tripp Trapp Baby Set Review

Okay, I was hesitant to buy this for our Tripp Trapp, but as we wanted to use it with our then-5 month old, we didn't have any choices as the old baby rail is discontinued and doesn't fit with the new model Tripp Trapps anyway.

We took the plunge. I have no idea what all the problems described in other reviews are about, because this set works great for us. We have no problems putting our 7 1/2 month old into this chair and baby rail set. We don't have any cushions installed because he makes a mess when he eats and would just get the cushions all dirty. But, we got a good deal and free cushions with the set so I just put them away for later. We don't usually use the seat belt presently because he likes sitting in the chair and doesn't try to escape. He just sits on top of the seat belt for now.

My son is about 27 inches tall and weighs at least 19 pounds. He's a very long and lean little guy. He sits up very well on his own now, but even before he was sitting well without help, he could sit in the Tripp Trapp with the baby rail and eat at the dinner table with us. The rail doesn't make him too far away from the table. In fact, I'm surprised at how far he can reach. We give him graham crackers to chew, and he can put them down on the table in front of him and pick them up as he likes.

We think he likes sitting here and eating so much better than when he had to sit on the floor in the bouncy seat to eat. Now, he's entertained sitting at our level during dinner. Thanks to the baby set which we added to the Tripp Trapp, he can do this at an earlier age. I do have to say that there is a potential for food to drip down between him and the baby rail when he leans back, but we use the Baby Bjorn bibs which have a great tray for catching food drips. Awesome combination, so our son stays mostly clean now when he eats.

UPDATE: My son is now 11 months old, weighs 21 lbs and is 28 inches tall. He still fits in the chair with the baby rail just fine and seems like he has plenty of room to grow. The chair with the rail scoots up to our table very well so he can reach for foods we put on the table in front of him for him to feed himself. I love how he can be right by us as we all eat, and not off to the side with a tray on the front of his high chair blocking him from pulling up to the family table.
