Great chair!, July 17, 2004
This review is from: Harmony High Chair - Colby (Baby Product)
I actually have the Winnie the Pooh pattern, but it is still a really great chair. I have never had another, so I don't have too much to compare it to except reviews I have read on this site on other chairs. I have a 9 month old daughter and she seems to like it just fine. The one handed release for the tray is great, as well as the removable top layer in the tray. I didn't get the play bar ( I actually bought mine at Walmart) but I am sure that would be really great for your kid. The snack tray area under the main food tray is nice too. I LOVE the 5 strap harnes. And the great thing about it is that it can just be a lap belt if you (or your baby) prefers. It makes me so nervous when we go out to eat and they only have those dinky high chairs with the weak straps. I love that the height is adjustable so she can eat at the table with us too, and for the height difference between my husband and myself. The seat being made of plastic is great for clean up, the only problem is that my girl tends to get hot and sweaty in it, especially if she is only wearing her diaper. The little bar on the back is nice too. The assembly was pretty easy, I did it all by myself. I would enthusiasticly recommend this high chair

good, the best one availible, May 22, 2005
This review is from: Harmony High Chair - Colby (Baby Product)
I knew that I wanted (and needed) many of the newer features availble on highchairs, but not ALL the extras. I have twins, B/G and we own two of these Colby Chairs (they come in many colors, colby was our favorite) and have had them since the twins were about 4 months old, that was 5 months ago!
PROS->
* The chair is VERY easy to clean, its all plastic and vinyl, there arent too many mystery crevises for those rouge cheerios and strained carrots, and it only takes me about 5-10 minutes to clean one whole chair (my friends aquarium takes her about 45 minutes a day, for one!!!)
* The tray is big, it can hold a good sized plate (although we dont use plates too much). The trays size is also nice to prevent food from ending up on the floor, and to keep some food away from baby, to eat only a little bit at a time. Its pretty lightweight so I dont strain my arm taking it off, yes ARM, I can take it off wiht one hand, unlike MANY of the other "one handed-release trays". Its easy to clean, even without the dishwasher insert (we dont use that too much, just a wipe or a sponge, but the inserts nice on occasions). The cup holder is useful, and it keeps the drinks away when you want baby to eat.
* The chair reqlines all the way for bottle feeding, and it sits ALL THE WAY UP for baby when they are eating, this is greatly appreciated to disencourage slouching and uncomfort.
* The chair adjusts to all different heights, I cant imagine it not fitting at the top of someones table, we keep the twins close to make feeding easier...
* The wheels actually move, they dont get stuck and they are easy to lock, and unlock with your feet.
* The harness is a 5-pt. this keeps the babies safe and secure, but you could use it as a lap belt if you wanted as well.
* The seat is very comfortable, its nice to be able to know that the twins wont be fidgeting through-out the whole meal.
CONS->
* Its a little tough to take the twins out, and put into, the seats, but thats no big deal for us, but it could be.
* The chair is very warm, the twins always seem a little stuck to it or sweaty, especially when they are only in diapers, but that again is not a terrible problem for us.
* Its a little on the big side, so if you have a small kitchen it may not be ideal
THINGS WE COULD LIVE WITHOUT->
* Price
* The toy bar is entriging for the twins, they love it and its not in the way
* The basket is great for bibsters and utensils
* The chair can fold over for minimal space saving, but its not too compact.
* There is a little snack tray under the big tray, for snacks! Easy to clean and to maintain
So we are still waiting for the chair with all the positives listed above, but without the unessasary things and the negitaves. But out of other chairs I have used at friends and families, the harmony highchair is very reliable and secure. I am not worried about saftey and the twins are always fine at the table. We all love this chair and recomend it for anyone with a baby.
