4.0 out of 5 stars Chicco Splash review, May 13, 2007

This review is from: Chicco Polly Highchair Splash Pattern - 05063803260070 (Baby Product)

Overall, we are pretty satisfied with the chair. We got it for two reasons: it was more stylish than other chairs in our price range, and two, it collapses down to fit in tight spaces.
We have a small house and space is a premium. The way the chair folds down to create a small footprint is very nice. It is also very easy to clean.
Some cons: My wife says that it is difficult to adjust the chair down. It locks up sometimes. Also, we did not start using this chair until our baby was 10 months. If we started using the high chair right when our baby was born then the tray would be way too high. When we have our next kid we will probaby have to put some towels on the seat to raise up the baby. I wish the tray height could be adjusted. Maybe the chair designers designed the chair for a 1 1/2 year old as an average user.

The adjustable footrest is a nice feature. The chair can roll around nicely and for those times when you have to give the child medicine (oooohh, fun!), the chair back reclines.

In summary: for the money, this is a very good chair. We considered the Peg Perego Prima Papa Diner, but it was a little more expensive and did not have any more features than the Chicco Polly Splash. (I guess the Prima Diner has noise resistant casters.) I recommend the Chicco Polly high chair. It's a good looking chair and isn't a space hog.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big Mistake!, December 3, 2007

Buying this high chair was a big mistake. If I could give it a no star review, I would. Sure, it is cute and has lots of features ... features that you do not need. It is not necessary for a high chair you use three times a day to fold up compactly, nor is it necessary to have a reclining chair or one that has adjustable heights. What is necessary is to have a high chair that is easy to clean and that has an easy to use tray. The Chicco Polly lacks both of these requirements. The chair pads are not machine washable and get gross very quickly. It's a real pain to wipe them down every day, and I never feel like they get truly clean. The tray is also a problem. First, it is very hard to get on the highchair, even using two hands. Secondly, the tray "covers" may be dishwasher safe, but they do not fit in my average size dishwasher. Moreover, the tray "covers" actually do not cover the whole tray, so you end up having to handwash two big, cumbersome pieces at least once a day. In addition, even though my daughter is 13 months old, the tray is still too high (and not adjustable) for her to easily feed herself. Not a good product at all. An expensive mistake.

I've read lot of reviews and also loved the stylish pattern before purchasing this highchair. And I just got it yesterday! I'm really glad I did.

1st pro: it's really easy to assemble, didn't even need to read those instructions.
2nd pro: not only I love the colorful cushion, but today, on the first day use, my daughter seemed to love it and felt very comfortable in it already.
3rd pro: my daughter's only 5 months old and is weighting only 5.70 kg, and she fits in the chair very well. So for anyone who complained that this highchair is not made for small babies, that's because they don't know how to adjust it. The 5 points safety harnesses have to be adjusted at the lowest slits at the back of the chair and have to be shortened to the maximum possible. I don't use the tray yet, because for now, I'm feeding her at the lowest recline position, for both bottle and cereals feeding. So it's not useful to put the tray for now, better let her kick her legs freely. The tray storage feature is really a plus here.
4th pro: the 3 reclining positions one-hand maneuvering feature is great. Although she doesn't sit and is not able to hold her head 100% steady yet, giving her bottles in this highchair at the lowest recline position is even more convenient than holding her, because she will be always at the right angle to help better digestion, and less muscle strain for me as well. Feeding her cereals at the lowest recline and highest height position is as comfortable for her than for myself, because I can sit on a chair at her height instead of sitting on the floor (hurting my back!)

1st con: although I like the fact that the cushioned vinyl seat pads are really easy to wipe clean, it's not breathable material. My daughter's head usually sweats alot, so on vinyl it's worse, I've to put a thin absorbent towel under her head. If you don't like vinyl, Chicco has this highchair made in fabric as well, but they're plain colors only.
2nd con: the 5 points safety harnesses woven fabric material is hard to spot clean when purees are dropped on it. I had to use a damp toothbrush and soapy water to clean it through.
3rd con: the seat is the only part that I have to force it a bit to fold it up, for everything else, reclining, folding, adjusting are like a breeze.
4th con: the snap-on tray liner doesn't fit in our dishwasher. But with 2-3 times uses a day, who would clean it in dishwasher anyway? To me, be able to take it off for easy cleaning in a sink is a big plus already.

Overall my husband and I really love this highchair, and my daughter seemed enjoy it very much too! The cons here are not important enough to bother me. We recommend it to all parents who are considering to purchase a highchair. We purchased few Chicco products, like Chicco Lullaby LX Playard Pacifica with bassinet, Chicco Cortina Keyfit Travel System Stroller and Car Seat Iceberg, and love them all.
