I purchased this one and let me tell you I just Love It!!! It is absolutely wonderful. It has everything a highchair should have, perfect padding, nice and easy to clean vinyl(just like leather), recline, height adjustments, tray, basically everything, and most important my baby has plenty of room to grow. It even turns into a youth chair. I would recommend it to anyone. If you don't want to spend the big bucks, look for coupons and sales. My husband about had a heart attack when I showed him the price, but even he agrees that it is worth every penny. It comes already assembled right out of the box. The other one took almost an hour to put together, and was very flimmsey, this one is sturdy as can be!! Perfect for any baby, big or small, the recline is so simple and smooth. Another plus is that you do not have to use the full T-strap harness, you can take off the shoulder straps and just use the bottom straps across the belly and thighs, I'll use the other ones when he gets a bit more mobile. I know, I am going on and on, but truthfully it is great, I wish there was chairs like this when I had my 1st son. Hope all this helped, good luck shopping!!

I love my 2003 Prima Pappa tan leatherette! We've had no problems with it what so ever! Cleaning is easy!--I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about! It's so easy to use! It looks and feels like it's quality made-unlike most of the other high chairs out there!. My baby loves it!

I looked at almost every high chair's reviews and ratings. Several had recommended and rated the Fisher Price Healthy Care very highly. The Baby Bargains book 5th Edition gave the Fisher Price Healthy Care and A and the Peg Perego Prima Pappa I think it was a B. We went out and looked at all the high chairs at BabiesRUs, The Baby's Room, L'il Deb-n-h=Heir etc.. Of course I dragged my loving husband with who whined and groaned every time! I like to research everything and test everything before I buy. It drives my husband crazy! I liked the Prima Pappa, but the Fisher Price Healthy Care Deluxe had more bells and whistles, better ratings and was half the price. It came with toys and extra side basket and bottle holders. We bought it. It lasted in our home for about 3 days!
The Healthy Care is ok, but it felt very cheaply made. I had problems with the recliner, it was very jerky to move. It would sometimes get stuck while trying to recline. I use this feature all the time to put my baby in or to take him out.
The wheels did not move smoothly. The locks on the wheels would fall to the lock position by itself? The tray could be removed very easily by the baby himself in the future. I did like the height of the tray better though. The seat pad had ruffles and crevices! I only had it for 3 days, but I could see that the ruffles would be hard to clean and the crumbs did fall in all the crevices. Well enough about the Fisher Price Healthy Care Deluxe Plus.

Why I love my Peg Perego Prima Pappa tan leatherette high chair:

1. It comes fully assembled! Unlike the Fisher Price that had so many parts and pieces to assemble! It was easy enough to follow the instructions, but who has all that time and energy!

2. The reclining feature works so smoothly! It moves up and down with one hand - even with the baby in it!

3. The height adjustment is so easy also! With my baby in it I will lower it so that I could feed him sitting down. Sometimes I will raise the chair and roll it into the family room to watch his favorite video.(Baby Einstein video- the only tape he owns)

4. It is very easy to clean! I've read some of the other reviews which gave me some doubts about purchasing this chair!
Try it yourself! I have the tan leatherette and it cleans with no problem! I wipe it down after every meal with a Lysol cleaning wipe or a sponge. (The Lysol Wipes are great by the way!) Yes it does have crevices, but the Fisher Price had more crevices plus ruffles! I just use my handy Shark vacuum when needed. No problems with food getting stuck anywhere! VERY EASY TO CLEAN! The chair pad can be removed and reinstalled very easily also. I don't know why some of the other reviewers had problems.

5. Folds easily and very, very compact for storage. The tray even folds up. Great feature!

6. I like the color. It blends in very well in my kitchen. It's like a piece of furniture. It does not stand out like some of the others which looks like another toy sitting in the room.

7. The wheels or casters work great! I sometimes move my baby around in the kitchen with me when I am cooking. The locking mechanism is on the back wheels only. Who needs them on all four wheels?

8. It is very sturdy! I wanted something that would last for at least a few years! I don't think that the Fisher Price I returned or any of the other brands would last very long. This chair was made to last through many children!

Other reviewers had problems with the height of the tray and the space between the baby and the tray. I don't know if they changed anything, but my seat moves all the way up and the distance between my baby and the tray is perfect! The tray is higher than most of the others. I even thought that it may have been a problem. After looking at the other high chairs and this one more thoroughly I came to the conclusion that after a few months he would be at the perfect height. Where as the other high chair trays would become too low when the baby gets taller. It was very easy to just fold up a towel and have my baby sit on it at first.

You would think that I worked for Peg Perego! Well, I don't! This is my first review of any kind. I just felt compelled to write about this high chair since after reading the other reviews I still wasn't sure about buying it. I am so glad I did! You will love it too! Believe me, I looked at all of them!

Here I am shopping for yet another Peg Perego product when I decide I'll read some reviews on my daughters high chair. I have 5 dogs and 4 cats and live as far into the wilderness as it may seem possible (Approx. 17 miles from civilization). I have read the complaints about the chair and I feel most have no substance and generally are petty gripes. I purchased my daughters chair just after she turned 3 months old...she has just turned 1 year. We all (my wife, myself and our daughter)all absolutely love this piece. We find it VERY easy to clean and KEEP clean. Mild to absolutely messy, it all cleans up easily. I find the straps are very easy to remove and clean with one hand and the chair is VERY well made. When my wife was pregnant I started studying on what products we were going to purchase for my daughter. I have put over a hundred hours and a few hundred miles into studying every product I could from car seats to high chairs to cribs, I chose this for the high chair. I have special needs with every product we purchase because I have limited use of my left hand from an accident. The only issue that I have encountered that held any merit was the height when she was young. I went to Wal-Mart and purchased a foam pad for $1.67, cut it to fit behind her back and under her but, took me 15 minutes inclusive of putting away the scissors. A month later I removed it and threw it away. The straps are not rocket science! One thing I have noticed is people forget why the straps are there in the first place, for the safety of your child. It is difficult enough that your (upwards of 2 year old) child can't undo the straps themselves but not so difficult that they can't be undone with one hand. I can do a full strip down of the high chair with my daughter in my other arm. The only way this could be easier is if someone else does it for you. Customer service has been top notch with them as well on all of our products, thus far of course. I have found over the years that people have a tendency to embellish a bit when it comes to poor customer service, and trust me I have more than enough experience with it over the years. Bottom line is, this is worth its weight in gold and is by far the best on the market.

We purcahsed this for our 22 month old. we have been using a booster seat and it WAS NOT working. She was shaking it and could get the tray off. After several scares, we went to Babies r us, and tested her in MANY! Most were frilly & ugly(ok, they were less money). Until we came to THIS ONE!! I love the Tan leather, easy to wipe, the 5 pt harness, and double trays. WE LOVE THIS CHAIR and can't believe we waited so long to buy it! It folds up also, so if you have a smaller kitchen like us.. It also come ready to use! all I did was unfold it, put on the rollers and was ready to use, no tools req! and worth the money(we paid 169.99)
5 STARS!!

I gave this highchair as a gift. It is stylish and functional. The plain leatherette is a welcome relief when your house is littered with baby stuff all with thier own patterns! The double tray comes in handy for removing the mess and leaving a tray for your little one to play. Leatherette cleans nicely with a damp cloth. Harness is adjustable enough to hold an infant starting solids. Height adjustments are easily made. I would reccommend this product to anyone, and feel it is well worth the money. Peg Perego makes quality products that you can count on with classic looks. I own the roller version of this highchair the only differences being it does not fold and has a basket. I would not hesitate to give this chair as a gift again!

For my second child, I used my high chair experience from my first to help me select this chair. First, it looks great! Secondly, the sleek style of this chair makes it a snap to clean (no ruffles and you can just wipe it down). Read some other reviews regarding the Prima Pappa and people indicated this chair would be hard to clean. I have to disagree. This chair can fold easily for storage and the five point harness makes it seem safe for even a small infant. The lift off tray is a nice touch and can easily be cleaned off in the sink. Most of all this chair seems to be really comfortable for my little one! My daughter loves sitting in her big girl chair!

Although this chair seems a little pricey, it has all the bells and whistles you need and looks great around the table. If you can spend the extra money, this chair will last you through the toddler stage!

We purchased this highchair after a recommendation from a relative and could not be happier. It is very well-made and comes completely assembled. Very sturdy!! Highly recommend spending the extra money as this is a product that will last and eventually can be used as a toddler chair.

This high chair is not only great looking, but very comfortable for baby and functional for me. Easy cleaning, the cover comes off or it can simply be wiped down. You can lower the chair for comfortable feedings and effortlessly roll it anywhere you need. This chair is one of my best picks for baby in function and value!

I have this chair in white leatherette. It was given to us as a gift. I had not registered for it and in fact had never seen it before. My first reaction was to be very alarmed of a WHITE cover on a chair for an infant/toddler. However, the leatherette wipes off beautifully and it has not been an issue.

But I hate the straps. As others have said, they are nearly impossible to get off. And the tray; it's so big! We started using it when my son was 5 months old and he could barely see over the top of it. My son is now 8 months. We've been using the chair for 3 months and I just wanted to give my honest opinion of it. The thing that I hate the most is the fact that the straps are so hard to get off to clean.

It LOOKS great, but I honestly think it works better for a toddler-age child (12-24 months) than for a small baby. Because of the size of the tray and the straps being nearly impossible to remove (who wants to get out a screwdriver just to do routine cleaning?), I gave it 2 stars. I think you can find good high chairs out there at a much better price!

I have never written a review before, but felt compelled to write this one. While I do like that fact that this highchair folds so compactly, I do find it quite cumbersome when open. With so many great boosters out there, this is a really pricey way to go. The one MAJOR drawback..the one that makes me regret having this chair, is the tray. It is just WAY too far away from my baby. When he starts to self feed, the food will drop right onto his lap. While this chair has a lot of versatility, the tray makes it too impracticle. It's way too pricey to have such a big drawback. If you haven't purchased yours yet..keep looking.
