5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this chair!, December 15, 2002

This review is from: Peg Perego Prima Pappa Multi-Position Dual Fabric High Chair - Chesapeake (Baby Product)

I've read some of the negative reviews, and to tell you the truth I don't understand them...we love this high chair. My daughter is now 14 months old, and we have been using this chair since she was about 6 months old and have loved it all the way through (especially when I compare it with the other high chairs I see friends trying to use.)

Some of the features I love the most:

1) The double tray. It is great being able to lift off the top, lightweight tray after mealtime (with one hand) and carry it into the kitchen. I can pop a couple of toys on the main tray (which is of course completely clean) and my daughter will amuse herself for a long period of time while I get on with clean up and dishes or whatever. I've had no problems whatsoever fitting it into my standard-size sink for clean up.

2) The removable cloth seat cover is great! Unlike most high chair seats that are vinyl and padded, food doesn't get way down into crevices you can only reach with a knife or something like it. I found it very easy to remove and clean (mine didn't shrink at all, but I'm sure it's important to follow the washing instructions, which are to wash in cold and hang dry.) While the cover is in the wash, we just use the seat without it (it's vinyl or something like it, wipes clean.)

3) The 5-point harness. I was bewildered by the comments that this was hard to use or adjust...the shoulder straps unhook on the back of the chair, and there are different height holes to thread them through (like a carseat.) Once my daughter was sitting up well on her own, we just removed them altogether, which leaves a 3-point lap belt. And the straps adjust at the sides and at the crotch, which makes it easy to find the right fit as baby grows.

4) This seat collapses down very well, so much so that we have collapsed it and thrown it in the back seat of our car (just a sedan, nothing big like an SUV or minivan) and taken it with us to the grandparents' houses.

All in all, I really couldn't be happier with this chair, and it is the ONE item we spent more money on than other things cost that I would definitely do over again!

4.0 out of 5 stars Yes, it's difficult to clean...but it's still a great chair!, June 5, 2002

This review is from: Peg Perego Prima Pappa Multi-Position Dual Fabric High Chair - Chesapeake (Baby Product)

If you look across the reviews of the entire Peg Perego line, you'll find lots of differing opinion on this highchair. I don't think I'll convince anyone to buy it or not buy it. So, here are our favorite features and biggest annoyances. For the record, we (my wife and I) like it a lot. You make up your own mind.

What's good about it:
- The one-handed release is very smooth and the tray is pretty light
- The wheels make it very convenient to pull the chair up to the table or push it into a corner when you're done
- The seat cover comes off without much trouble so you can clean it
- The seat reclines easily, which came in handy when our son was 4-6 months old (he couldn't sit totally upright, but we wanted to start feeding him real food)

What's not so good about it:
- Food gets caught everywhere: in the crack around the tray's edge, in the corners of the seat, and in the various nooks and crannies of the arms and straps
- The straps are especially difficult to clean, although I would say the chair has held up very well in the 18 months we've used it

The Peg Perego is definitely high end (from its quality to its price). But it is durable and generally user-friendly. Regardless, we would buy it again, and we think you'll probably be satisfied with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars pleased parent and baby, May 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Peg Perego Prima Pappa Multi-Position Dual Fabric High Chair - Chesapeake (Baby Product)

When we began looking for a highchair for our daughter we gathered as much info as possible and we were still confused! It seemed we read alot of conflicting info on what was good or bad about different models and brands. We were happy with a PegPerego stoller we had purchased and felt pretty confident about staying with the same line. We then read the reviews and started to have doubts. What finally sold us was looking in the store. Anyone who walked buy us and had a PegPerego highchair, gave it a glowing recommendation. After several similar comments we bought this chair. Now, having used it for several months we are very pleased with our decision. It looks great and has met every expectation we've had. The best feature is the double tray. It has made cleanup so easy. I can not understand the complaints of the brand being difficult to keep clean? My husband and I decided we will give this advis to any confused people either in the aisle looking at highchairs or online!
