still being used by my almost-3-year-olds!
I got two of these as shower gifts when I was pregnant with my boy/girl twins. Now they are almost three, and they are STILL using them almost daily. (I never expected that by the time my next baby came along, I'd have to get a third chair because the other two would still be in use!) We use them for lots of messy activities, from finger painting to play-doh. Sometimes all 3 kids sit in these chairs to play with toys with small pieces so the pieces are less likely to be lost. Tip: Get colors you like, because you're going to be taking tons of "first time" pictures in these chairs!

When the twins were little and were still building up their head support, we used the backs and pads, and we put the seats in the semi-reclined position. (The handles that hold the trays are adjustable, so the tray can be positioned straight - horizontally to the floor - no matter what position the seat is in.) We used the 5-point harness to hold them in when they were little, too. They seemed very comfortable just hanging out, propped up in the chairs. Now we use them in "booster seat" mode, with no backs or pads. There is a 3-point buckle for the booster seat, but since we always leave the chairs on the floor, we don't buckle the kids anymore. At this age, they can slip in and out themselves as long as the trays aren't pushed too close to their bellies. They can even wipe their own trays clean, which makes this busy mama happy!

As far as safety goes, the big straps & buckles do seem to keep the high chairs secure on a kitchen chair. If your kitchen chairs don't have a space between the seat and the back, I'm not sure how well these high chairs will work for you, since there is a back piece that sticks out just a little. That back piece slides into the space between your kitchen chair's seat and back, to add extra security - but you might be able to make it work on a chair without that space. We always thought it was most convenient to use the high chairs on the floor, anyway. With that back piece sticking out for balance, we've never had them tip over, at least not backwards.

As far as the "space saver" aspect - I'd say no, they don't really save space, unless you count the fact that they can sit on an existing chair in your house. It doesn't bother us when we're at home, but when we're traveling, it does take up some room when we load all three of these chairs into the van! They're probably easier to move around than a big high chair would be, though - not heavy or bulky at all. It is WELL worth it to have them along at the grandparents' houses.

I think the instructions claim that the trays are dishwasher safe, but they're just a little too big to slide down into the spaces in a normal-sized dishwasher, without hitting the top rack. On the top rack, you'd have to lay them down totally flat, of course. It's best to just expect that you'll have to hand-wash them. Minor hassle.

Long story short, this has probably been the most most-used, longest-lasting gift that I received at any of my showers. They have withstood daily use for nearly three years now, and the kids don't show any signs of wanting to give them up yet. I highly recommend them to any new mom. Well worth the money.

Wonderful Highchair!!
I have nothing but positive things to say about this highchair. It is such a great alternative to a full sized highchair. Since it sits right on one of our kitchen chairs, it isn't taking up any additional space, and our baby is right at the table with us! It is very easy to get a baby in and out of. Additionally, all of the straps are easily removable for cleaning. I wish I had this chair when my older son was a baby, it would have saved me many a stubbed toe!!

Great Buy That Gives You Options
I love this high chair because it's easy to use and store. I didn't want a huge high chair in the corner of my kitchen all the time, especially since we were in the middle of house hunting and had no idea what our future kitchen/dining area was going to look like. With this chair, I can either keep it attached to a chair at our table, or if we have company coming over, I can take it off and store it in our pantry. Reattaching it is as simple as snapping two buckles. Also if my baby is going to spend the day over at grandma's (who does not have a high chair), I can easily take it along. The rest of the features seem pretty much standard on a high chair, and I haven't found anything I don't like about it. I have recommended this too many people and will continue to do so.

The Perfect High Chair
I started looking for a high chair with an open mind. After searching and looking at old fashion and modern styles and all types of chairs this one is the best. Not only for space saving but also for the support it gave my 4 month baby girl who still needed help seating up. We can use it at the kitchen table, dining table and it is very light to carry from one place to another. We all love it!

Happy with high chair
This high chair was just what i needed. It's compact,sturdy,easy to carry,versatile,& easy to clean. I'm very happy with this product. I would buy another one.

GREAT SALE!
Easy to order and had original ship date of 3 weeks after product ordered, but received a week early!! Very happy with transaction!

Very nice looking, but a pain
This chair is Very nice looking, not an eye sore like most high chairs. But dishwasher tray on top comes off with barely a tap. My son throws it on the floor constantly with food on it. It's a poor design in that respect. I am over cleaning the floor at every meal time, so I am getting rid of it. I would not recommend this chair at all. It also gets food stuck in all the cracks and crevices.

Great chair for any child that eats food.
Pros:
-Feels well designed and built, wooden stabilizers add extra weight at the bottom and feels less likely to tip over.
-Easily wipable backing and straps that remove for laundry.
-Upper eating surface separates from tray for easy cleaning, and is dishwasher safe.
-Good height, can be pushed up to the kitchen table (without tray) and baby is part of the family.
-More attractive design than fisher price animal prints.
-Seat back can recline and seat height is adjustable.
-Wheels roll easily for zooming around the kitchen, feels very stable.
-Straps are easier to use than Graco high chairs.
-Wooden foot rest for adult when feeding and baby gets his own foot rest as well.

Cons:
-Directions for assembly take guesswork. Seems uncomplicated until it's mostly assembled, then you realize half the legs are in the wrong slots.
-Wheel locks are effective and easy to lock with your foot, but not so easy to unlock without bending over.
-Tray tilts away from baby so dropped food or bottles can roll out of reach.

Overall we like this high chair a lot and would buy it again. Seems like, as with so many things in life, you get what you pay for.

loving it!
Just purchased this high chair for my 8 month old son. It was super easy to put together. The colors are so pretty & go perfectly with my decor. It's easy to wipe clean & the tray comes off easily with one hand. The brown headrest is useless, but other than that, I love this chair & so does my little monkey!

LOVE this chair
We have been so happy with this chair, I feel obligated to write a review (since I always use them but hardly ever write them myself!). First of all, it's gorgeous and blends with other furniture nicely. I found it super easy to clean (especially if you don't use the brown headrest which is cute but not worth it). Also, so easy to adjust - not that we needed to because my daughter was pretty big from the get go, but still a nice feature. Very easy to move around (and the wheels lock easily to stay in place). And one of the best features as time passed was that the chair pulled up easily to the dining room table (with the tray off) so my daughter could eat with us at the table (European style). Definitely not small though - don't buy for a tiny kitchen. Enjoy!

Great chair, but too big of a toy
This is an excellent chair! I love the bright colors and my son seems to be very comfortable. My only issue with the chair is the toy that comes with it. It's just too big and my 10 month old keeps pulling it apart and throwing it around. I ended up throwing it into the playpen with his other toys.

Awesome for the price
very good . Great High chair for the price. The toy that comes with it is good as well. I got it with free shipping. Cant beat the price. Had a small concern on the assembly. The manual is not very user friendly. But I did manage to assemble it after a bit of struggle. THis was particularly with the foot rest assembly. Other than that GO FOR IT!!! Great High Chair.

Nice high chair but needs some more design changes
This chair works for my 7 mth old and he sits there while i feed him. The toy is very colorful and he loves it but it does not attach well to the tray. Fisher Price should make a more fixable toy that will attach well and is child safe. Otherwise, all in all this is a good product.

Perfect High Chair
The Fisher Price Rainforest High Chair is an awesome high chair. It's comfy for my baby, and he loves the toys it comes with. They keep him occupied while I get our food ready. The chair is easy to manuver, the tray can come off with one hand, the height and recline are easy to adjust. We leave ours unfolded all the time, since we have the space, but it does fold nicely to save space too. The seat pad is easy to wipe clean, and the straps are machine washable. All around a perfect high chair!

High Chair
Great High chair, my dad bought this for us for my daughter. So far it's great, the toys are wonderful and my daughter loves them. The only thing i wish it would have is a basket on the bottom to hold bibs, and wash cloths... Overall great product.
