I bought this after reviewing consumer reports.

I've not noted any shortcoming since we've started using it.

Seat can be easily cleaned - seat material is waterproof.
Belts can be easily adjusted
Seat height can be adjusted easily
It does not tip over with a wide footprint
Seat back angle is adjustable
I don't care for the option to fold the legs and make the unit more compact, since I never use it.

Only minor negative is that it required quite some assembling!

I am not sure if I'd get anything more by paying more - almost double for the other top rated option out there..

I got this for my 19 month old as an extra high chair in the house and it became the main one. It is very comfortable, easy to clean. I love the plastic stop in the middle since once in a while there are little crying and kicking episodes this prevents the kid from going forward and helps me sit him in the chair while he is fighting me back... come on every mom knows what I am talking about ..... It is very cheap and great quality, it took me about an hour to assemble but I am terrible at getting things together.

We, as grandparents, have purchased several Evenflo products for our home. They have all been of excellent quality. We are extremely pleased with our most recent purchase, the Expressions Plus High Chair. The ease of using the double duty tray is fabulous as is cleaning it after feeding our grandson. When we are finished using the chair, we simply fold it up and place it in the closet for easy storage.

I debated on which highchair to purchase reading several reviews on Fisher Price Rainforest and Graco, thinking that the more money I spend the better highchair I would get...wrong! This highchair was recently on sale at KMart and I decided that for the price I couldn't go wrong. It beats my previous Graco hands down! I love the removeable tray to allow for easy cleanup. The seat pad is fabric and I can easily wipe it off and also it is machine washable. The seat reclines with a one-hand release -- I wish I would have had this when she was a young baby. I can't find anything to complain about. It was very easy to put together -- I put it together in 40 minutes with the "help" from my 7 y/o son. I compared the Expression to the Expression Plus and I couldn't find anything that would entail a $10 price difference -- in fact the pink Expression Plus had a non-machine washable seat pad. Go for the Expression Safari -- you can't go wrong!

I love this high chair, it's simple, & nice to set up. its color is neutral which goes with almost any furniture or kitchen. the fabric is so easy to clean. it's so easy to move around. i put my baby in it whenever i'm working in the kitchen & put some toys for her to play & she stays there for an hour.
the only thing that disappointed me is that the drawer it has is actually useless. nothing can fit there, not even a tiny spoon. But the truth is that i don't mind, i got a great product for the amount of money i paid.

I've owned this product for about 10 months. For the price it works well but there are a few irritating quirks to deal with.

Pros:
Easy to clean the seat. It has elastic that holds the cover in place so you can just pull it off and throw it in the washer.
Easy to clean the main tray. Also, you can pull off the insert tray and throw it in the dishwasher, and still get by using the main tray until the other one is clean.
The collapsible feature works well, we use it when traveling to the in-laws since they don't have a highchair.
Fabric holds up well. We've washed it multiple times are there are still no rips, tears, or worn spots.
Height adjustment works well. We raise and lower the seat level depending on where we are. It goes so low we've fed her sitting on the couch before.
I like the safety post that comes up between her legs. When I remove the tray, she can't get over it to fall out, and it keeps her from slouching down under the tray while she's eating.

Cons:
The wheel locks are irritating because sometimes they are supposed to be disengaged and the wheel will still stick.
We move this chair out of the way when not in use. The wheels do not turn easily so sometimes you're dragging it across the floor instead of pulling it.
It will stop at any bump in the road, so don't expect an easy transition between carpets, rugs, linoleum, etc.
The locking mechanism on the tray isn't the best. We've never had a time where it wouldn't lock, but we constantly have to push and wiggle it to get it to work.
Where the insert tray locks into the main tray is hard to clean. It has a lip it fits under and our messy toddler gets food under there all the time.
She ripped the attached toy loose when she was 6 months old. Now she likes to drop food down the hole it clipped into to watch it disappear.

Like I said, for the cost, the issues aren't too bad. Are there better high chairs? Yes, but I think this one will work fine for someone on a budget.

Update: 11/16/09 - Started having small screws periodically fall out, so if your product is about 1 1/2 years old, I'd suggest retightening all of them. We leave the insert tray off all the time anymore.

We love this high chair! We purchased it about nine months ago (in a different pattern) and have had no problems with it.

One great thing about it is that it is SO adjustable - there are about seven different height settings, including very low to the ground or high enough to be above the average table height.

It is SO easy to clean, the fabric just wipes right off. The pull-out "parent organizer tray" is handy to keep baby food on as you are feeding, but is a little small for some bowls and things (if that matters to you).

It folds up super easily and is great quality for the price.

I just love this chair. I loved the price and everything it can do. I like the fact that it has fold in legs, so we can take it on trips, or to my husbands parents house for get togethers. It's easy to clean. My favorite thing about it is, that you can ajust the hight, so I can feed her while still sitting. I think it is a great high chair not like the one I had 8 years ago that did nothing. So I give it 5 *****'s Thank's Evenflo!

I was disappointed that the cover is not washable, but it is easy to wipe. I washed mine when I noticed some food had fallen down the side and dried onto the fabric backing. It came out looking as if the plastic coating had separated from the fabric in many places, looking like it was very worn and ugly.

Other than that, I think the high chair is very sturdy and safe. I love the removable tray and adjustable seat back. We use the adjustable seat height a lot and wheel it around to different rooms, too. Our son seems to like the ride through the house, out to the porch or the back deck, sometimes down the driveway and to our neighbor's house!

This is a great high chair with one flaw, and had I read the label before washing, I wouldn't have much to complain about.

This is a great chair. We are really happy with the purchase. We stuck our 3 month old in it to test it out and she fit great. Restraining straps worked nicely and easily and the seat was at just the right recline angle. Easy to adjust, a nice looking seat. I don't think you can go wrong with this chair and with the price (we bought it at Target with a $10 off coupon btw).
