5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what we needed. March 9, 2010

By kmcjd72

Amazon Verified Purchase

I liked the idea of the Space Saver for our 4 month old daughter because 1) we didn't have to purchase another piece of "furniture" to clutter up our already tight eating spaces, 2) it was dishwasher safe, and 3) it had reclining features and the tray adjusts to her size as she grows older (and chubbier, I suppose!). Needless to say, this product satisfied all our needs. AND, by far this is the cutest design Fisher Price came up with - gender neutral as well. Things I discovered: it is VERY easy to "install" (if you call snapping a fastener to the back and under the chair "installing"). It is sturdy. The cover is machine washable and can be removed/wiped easily. The tray is very roomy for toys or keeping prying hands away from bowls filled with food. Needless to say, we are 100% satisfied with this product: highly recommend.

3.0 out of 5 stars not upright enough March 23, 2012

By anon

Color Name:Scatterbug

I purchased this at a BBrU and at first was thrilled. Its got a nice wide base. It fit fine onto a dining room chair. Was easy to assemble, install, and adjust to fit my LO. But within a couple of uses it has lost its charm. Granted its the first highchair/booster I've ever dealt with with my own baby, so maybe these will be issues I come up against when I look to replace this.

Here are the problems I have:

1. The seat back in its upright position does not come close enough to vertical, so my baby, who is completely capable of sitting up on her own, is forced to recline. And than her butt slides forward toward the saddle horn (what's that called, anyway?) So she kind of looks slouchy in it. I want her to be able to sit on her butt and be upright, not sit on her lower back and lean back.

2. The seat under the butt is not smooth AT ALL. There's a cut out right under the butt that's about an inch and a half wide and a couple inches long. I wouldn't want to sit in it. Maybe it wouldnt be a problem if the seat cover was more padded. But its a pretty thin (read easy wash/quick dry) seat cover.

3. The last thing, I suspect is universal among trays, but I don't like it. The underside of the tray is like a honey comb; tons and tons of little crevices, probably necessary for pouring and molding plastic trays, I don't know. But my baby, who's hands are covered in moosh, touches the underside of the tray, which makes for a less quick clean up. Think of it as potentially being like the underside of a table at a diner.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT a space-saver! A nanny's perspective. . . May 23, 2012

By Anna L. Pleitt

Color Name:Scatterbug

The purpose of this chair is to save the space a conventional chair would take up, but in my opinion, all it does it take away one of your regular chairs from your table & eat up space where the normal high chair would've gone. . .Once attached to a chair (& I've seen/used it on different types of chairs) it won't slide under the table, defeating the purpose of it NOT being a high chair.

The reclining option is well, stupid. Babies shouldn't learn to eat in a reclined position unless they have a physical delvelopmental delay that requires a little extra aid. The "bucket-seat" style is more like a carseat & restricts arm movement in older babies. Also, the idea of a cloth cover on a childs chair just means more to clean, you have to clean the cover & underneath. Then there are tons of cracks & crevices for food to get stuck in.

The Tray is HUGE, I have yet to find a dishwasher that it fits in.

So if you're looking for an actual space-saver, try one of the Fisher-Price Healthy Care Booster Seat, Green/Blue options. I bought that one for my own after the trial-and-errors of using this one as a nanny. The tray fits nicely in the sink for a quick hand-wash OR the dishwasher, The seat is simple, compact, & fits under the table. It cleans nicely & it folds up if you need to take it with you. A MUCH better option!

3.0 out of 5 stars I like it, but I don't love it. June 10, 2012

By AMG

Color Name:Scatterbug

This high chair is good. Being a first-time mom, I didn't really know what I wanted in a high chair other than it needed to fit in our small kitchen. So in that aspect--it fits. It was easy to assemble and easily attaches to a regular dining room/kitchen chair (although I question whether it would fit on to a chair that doesn't have openings in the back, like if it were a solid chair back, does that make sense?). It appears to be sturdy--my son is constantly leaning forward and trying to crawl out of it and it hasn't tipped over (thank god). It has a 5-point harness that can be converted to a 3-point harness. The seat and tray recline and move forward independently of each other (in order to get a good fit). The tray is large and is supposedly able to be put in the dishwasher (I have yet to try this because it's rather large and would take up valuable real estate in my dishwasher). It's also able to be converted into a booster seat for older children to be able to eat at the table (our son is too young for this, so we haven't used that option yet either). Plus, it was a reasonable price compared to full-size high chairs.

Here are things that I dislike about this chair that could be improved upon:
1. Like previous posters have mentioned, for whatever reason, my son who is perfectly capable of sitting up independently slouches in this chair. In every configuration of the seat tilted forward and the tray tilted back, I have yet to find an option where he doesn't look like he's lounging in this chair.

2. The padding is just for show. I really, really like the pattern on this chair (scatterbug) and it's even cuter in person than in the pictures, but it does not cover the entire seat (on the seat bottom there is room on both sides for food to fall through).... Therefore you get surprise treats stuck underneath the padding--gross. Yes, the padding is machine washable, but that doesn't even begin to remedy the grossness factor (unless you plan to wash it daily and really? Who has time for that?). We have resorted to removing the padding altogether and just having our son sit on the bare plastic seat which makes me resentful that my high chair is not the cute one that I originally purchased.

3. The tray is big (which is a positive and a negative). Yes, you can remove it and wipe it down/wash it in the sink (although this is a pain) or put in the dishwasher (if you have room), but it has so many tiny nooks and crannies on the underside that I don't even want to know what's growing underneath there. It would have been great if it came with a small, thin, removable tray that sits on top of this one.

All in all, I'm not sure that I would purchase this chair again if given the chance. Read more ›
