2.0 out of 5 stars Plastic, plastic, and more plastic, February 24, 2011

By

This review is from: Peg-Perego 2011 Tatamia High Chair, White Latte (Baby Product)

I can see why there are so many good reviews on this high chair. The design looks great, the seat covering is easy to clean, the base folds up, and it can be used as a swing for infants. I felt this was a great purchase too when we first brought it home. 6 months later, my opinion on this chair has changed quite a bit.

The first thing I noticed right out of the box was that the entire thing is made of plastic. The only metal parts on this chair are the screws and a few internal cables and rods. As long as the plastic is sturdy enough, it should be fine however, there are a few stress points on the chair that I feel should have used a different material or at least a stronger piece of plastic. After 6 months of use, I've noticed that the tray is beginning to sag noticeably from its own weight. Any round object will roll to the far end of the tray. For a $300 chair, one would expect the use of better materials.

The base is folded up by lifting a plastic lever on each side of the chair. About 3 months after purchase, the cable that is attached to one of levers popped off. We rarely folded up the base so I figured it wasn't a major problem since at least the side that we push against the wall still worked. Then about 5 months after the purchase, the other side popped off. Now both sides of the base cannot be folded up. As hard as I tried, the cables could not be reattached. I also noticed that the lever on the back of the chair that allows you to recline the seat is very hard to pull. It feels like the plastic lever is bending and ready to snap from the tension of the cable. Unless the lever is pulled all the way, the seat will not recline.

I would not recommend using the swing feature to anyone unless your baby is very young and cannot move their arms around. My baby was just beginning to learn how to move his arms to touch things by the time we purchased this chair. He was still well within the recommended weight limit for the swing so we gave it a try. As he was swinging, he tried touching one of the arms that was attached to the seat and got his fingers pinched. The arms that are attached to the chair crosses very closely to the arms that are attached to the base. As the chair swings, there is a very strong possibility that a child will get their fingers pinched or even seriously crushed between the two arms. The clearance between the two arms as they cross is very small. Its almost like a scissor action with two arms crossing back and forth well within reach of the child. Needless to say, we never used the swing after the first try.

I finally called the Peg-Perego customer service line regarding the broken levers and was told they would be sending me replacement arms for the chair but I would have to dissemble the chair myself to replace them. There are no repair locations in my area so I have no choice. They also informed me that they would have to get back to me on the total shipping and handling charge for the replacement parts. Yes, they even charge you for handling. I can't wait to find out how much this warranty fix is going to cost me.

UPDATE
Its been a week and I still haven't heard back from the Peg-Perego customer service dept on the shipping & handling charge for the replacement parts. Just this morning, the plastic cover on the piece that the t-bar attaches to fell off while we were placing our baby in the chair. We were not using the t-bar and rarely do. It took me several minutes to find the small metal spring that was underneath the button on the cover. The small metal spring is a choking hazard and had my wife not noticed the cover falling off, our baby could have found it before us. I just emailed them again to follow up on the first call and to report this new issue.

2ND UPDATE
After another email and a follow up call, I spoke their customer service and was told the shipping and handling would be $30. I asked if the arms would come with instructions on how to disassemble and reassemble the chair and was told that the instructions that came with the chair should show me how. After I hung up, I looked through the manual and could not find any instructions on this. I guess I will have to see if I can figure it out on my own when the parts arrive.

3RD UPDATE
I received the replacement part about a week and a half after they charged my credit card. They ended up sending the entire base and arms so no major disassembling was required. The seat and wheels were easily removed from the old chair and attached to the new base. The customer service rep said the part they were sending would also address the other two issues of the sagging tray and the t-bar base cover falling off but it does not. The slots that the tray is inserted into and the t-bar base cover are totally separate from the base they sent to me. I decided to just live with the sagging tray and wrapped the cover back on with strong tape after removing the button and spring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally Found What I Was Looking For..., September 4, 2009

By 

Kelly "Mom to Aidan (7/05), Owen (4/07) & Eth... (Melbourne, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Peg Perego 2011 Tatamia High Chair (Baby Product)

I had a very difficult time finding the "perfect" highchair (which I've decided doesn't exist), but this comes pretty close. I had been watching the reviews and reading about this chair long before it came out, and since I didn't think it would be released in time to use with my youngest, I went ahead and bought the Chicco Polly highchair. I hate it. I know most people love it, but I hate it for many reasons - the main one being because the T-bar is attached to the tray. So, we bought the less expensive and more cute-sy Fisher-Price Rainforest highchair. Definite cute, nice toy, but flimsy, cheap, and bad fabric. So, my search continued. I ran across this highchair online and realized that it would, in fact, be released right around when I would need it. I pre-ordered it, and finally received in on Tuesday. Right out of the box, I was impressed! What I like about it: (1) the seat material is very soft, leather-like, and easy to clean, (2) I was able to make all adjustments without ever opening the manual (all levels and buttons are red), (3) the t-bar is attached to the seat (although there is a protrusion on the bottom of the tray so it doesn't sit flat on a counter), (4) the snap-on tray top covers the entire top of the tray, with no exposed edges or gaps to get food under, (5) it makes a great swing/recliner, (6) it folds easily and compactly, (7) the seat and footrest recline together, (8) it's just plain cool looking! What I don't like: (1) the swinging radius isn't very big - it's more of a rock than a swing, (2) the tray, when pushed as far towards the child as possible, still leaves a couple inches where food can fall onto baby, and (3) there is a protrusion on the underside of the tray that prevents it from laying flat on a table. For the functionality and coolness factor, I can live with the three things I dislike, and I still think it's a 5-star highchair/baby swing(rocker)/recliner. My son loves it and seems very comfortable in it and 5 months and 16 lbs, and that's what really matters. I think I'm going to splurge and buy the 2009 Tatamia Accessory Pack in Orange, but all I really want is the toy bar - I don't "need" the soft cover or sunshade. All in all, I highly recommend. I'll post more pictures once my camera battery is charged...

1.0 out of 5 stars Not sturdy at all, July 20, 2011

By

This review is from: Peg-Perego 2011 Tatamia High Chair, White Latte (Baby Product)

It's unbelievable I'm so disappointed in this high chair and peg perego customer service. My baby is 9 months old and we started using this high chair when he was 4 months old. In 5 months it's recline mechanism broke down. I called peg perego and they told me it's under limited warranty because it hasn't been a year since I purchased. They sent me a chair (not the whole thing, but just the chair part without the fabric and harness), and they charged me $14.99 for shipping. Apparently shipping was not under warranty. The new chair came but it was impossible to take out the right side harness from the old chair. We tried everything. When I called the customer service they told me I should purchase a new harness and pay additional shipping. It's ridiculous. For a high chair this expensive I would expect it to be sturdy and I would expect high end customer service. Especially because the high chair broke down in such a short time.
