The main reason I bought this highchair was because of the way it folded up--it will fit in the tiny space between our fridge and kitchen cabinets so it's out of the way most of the time. The other good thing about this high chair is that it is very sturdy. I don't ever worry that it will topple over when expanded. The biggest drawbacks for me 1) the tray is too large to fit inside the dishwasher, so I have to hand wash it every time. 2) there are a lot of crevices in the fabric of the seat where food gets stuck. The brown fabric has a texture that grabs food-- cleaning up avocado or eggs is a nightmare! If I were making a highchair purchase again, I would choose one that is all solid plastic so I could do a better job of sponge cleaning it after every meal. I wish I could put the whole thing in the shower or under the hose to deep clean it. Yes, you can remove the cover for laundering, and you do get an extra cover, but it's a five minute operation with a zillion snaps. Too much work for a busy mom!

I LOVE this high chair. My in-laws bought this for us and I haven't been happier with any other baby gear we have. I had a Tripp Trapp that I wasn't thrilled with and so we got this instead. Here are the things I love: The tray has an insert that you can take out so essentially you have two trays to use, but the tray insert snaps on in such a way that my daughter can't figure out how to get it out, and her nickname is Destructo. There are two ways to put the tray on and and take it off. There are two handles on the side that you push simultaneously or if you're one handed there's a push lever in the front that moves it forward or backwards. Also it comes with two covers for the chair so when one is dirty you can change it. It took me a bit to figure out how to change them the first time (I didn't want to pull out the instruction book), but I look at that as a good thing. They certainly won't slip off with her in the chair. All in all I love this high chair.
