5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, style and function at the same time, August 14, 2007

Finally a highchair made by folks who not only have a great sense of design but also must actually have kids!

1) The fact that there are no crevices or corners to trap food should've been the most obvious concept in highchairs, but no other manufacturer has bothered to implement that idea until now. I no longer have to bring a highchair outside to hose down with a pressure washer and a toothbrush - I can clean the Flair with babywipes and one hand!

2) The pedestal base is a welcome change from the A-frames of other highchairs that were not only trip hazards but also a pain to clean. The smooth pedestal easily wipes clean with the aforementioned baby wipes (or Lysol wipes for the tough stuff). The pneumatic lift is to other highchairs' height adjustment as power seats in your car are to non-powered seats. It's not only more fun to use, but makes for a better fit, too.

3) The waterproof seat pad (a closed-cell-type foam cushion of the type seen on some boats) is another simple concept that until now hadn't been implemented by other highchair makers. I no longer have to throw a highchair seat in the laundry after every meal because some manufacturer thought it was a bright idea to make it out of cloth so it could have ruffles. This one wipes clean with little effort, and it's removable so you can get around the edges.

4) The fact that the harness is removable for cleaning is yet another genius move that would've been obvious to any parent but seems to have been lost on other highchair manufacturers. Bravo, I say. It's also comfortable for my daughter, and really strong. She definitely puts it to the test, and it's never even given me a scare.

5) The design is simply beautiful, but at a price point that competes with highchairs that are far less practical and much more ugly. Finally, you don't have to shell out $600+ for something beautiful, and you don't have to sacrifice function for style (or vice versa).

6) The tray liners are a great concept, but I only wish a) there were 3 of them included (instead of only 2) so I can do just one dishwasher load at the end of the day, and b) the liners covered the whole surface of the tray. As they're made now, the tray's outer rim is partially exposed, so that you end up having to wash the tray by hand anyway (it's not dishwasher safe for some reason) which seems to defeat the purpose of the liners. It's a small issue which only comes to light because the chair is so outstanding in so many other ways, and I'd still buy this chair if I had to do it over again.

7) How many other companies give 10% of their profits to children's charities? I loved this chair so much I also bought Boon's Frog Pod and Flo faucet cover for the bath. What a great company. They deserve success.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons, June 2, 2008

By 

Mother of one (Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Boon Flair Pneumatic Pedestal Highchair - Frosty Blue and White (Baby Product)

I've had this product for about a year now. There are definitely pros and cons. The big pro is that it is super-easy to clean. Love that.
Here are the cons:
1) Small tray -- this is not a problem when baby is little, but when you have a toddler that should be eating from a plate, it is difficult to fit a standard melanime plate plus cup on the tray.
2) Shoulder straps are worthless. Will not fit a larger baby/toddler. We just use the belt strap and leave the shoulders dangling (wish they were detachable!) I don't think it's safe to rely on the tray -- it pops out fairly easily.
3) Foot rest is useless. Although it is a good ladder for a toddler to climb into the chair.
4) Odd design choices with the tray and buckle -- the tray requires 2 hands to properly install or uninstall (why???); also the buckle really needs to be squeezed to get it into the latch (as opposed to my old peg, where the buckles slid in easily). I'm mystified why these easy fixes weren't made.
I noticed some people say the top was wobbly -- if the child is active, the bolts will loosen. You will need to periodically tighten them.
The ease of cleaning may outweigh all of this . . . Also be aware that the pneumatic lift makes this HEAVY. Not a good choice for rolling over carpet or lifting to different locations (although we do it sometimes). But the roller wheels work great on hardwood/vinyl/etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Highchair, November 18, 2007

Okay... admittedly, our prior highchair was the worst as far as cleaning (Peg Perego) but this thing is a dream to clean. It takes so little time that I find myself sitting there rubbing it with the washcloth after it's already clean becuase I'm so used to it taking 10 times as long, and never really coming clean in the cracks and crevices until you disassemble the thing.

So it's completely a joy to clean and it moves around so easily on the wheels. We move our child a lot around the kitchen while we're cooking and it's perfect because it's so simple and smooth.

I had two concerns prior to buying it: the small size of the tray (the Peg Perego tray is huge) and the fact that the chair itself seemed small and I was afraid it would be too small for an older child (our child is 16 months). Well, I love the small tray. In fact, I think it's better because the baby learns to contain his food in a smaller place, much like a plate, and not spread it everywhere. Secondly, it's so easy to clean and the tray insert that goes over the main tray is so eaesy to drop in the dishwasher (it comes with two of those). And the seat itself is plenty big. The tray is a little low, believe it or not, but it's fine and it doesn't matter if food drops down because it is SO EASY TO CLEAN.

Overall, I love the sleekness of it, it's a nice, refreshing change. I love how easily it moves around and I love, love, love how amazingly easy it is to clean. Gone are the days of scrubbing in one place to get something off the highchair. The texture of the plastic just swipes clean right away. I have never had to scrub one thing. It literally takes seconds.

So... if you want easy cleanup and a pretty neat looking highchair, this is the chair for you. It's so much better than traditional chairs, with all the crevices, etc. And don't worry about the molded seat being removable and thus there being a crevice for food, it lifts right up so you can quickly and easily swipe your washcloth underneath it and get it spotless in a matter of seconds. It's actually an ingenious design.

We'll use this chair for the next kid too, and I only wish we had it from the beginning. So much aggravation could have been avoided and so much time saved!
