MOST EXCELLENT FOR BABY OR CHILD:
A remote Denmark co-worker OF MINE told me that much of Europe uses this chair. I've purchased 2 Stokke's for my grandboys - both grands love these chairs. I love these chairs. First, I love the sleek Euro style of the chair. Next, I love that this chair allows seating&foot support adjustments so baby/child can sit close to a dinner table and use dinnerware(baby or regular) on the table like the rest of the child's family (this is a good thing). Child is close to family while sitting at table, while observing how dinner happens with family. The adjustable seat & foot rests are made to work with the height of your child, providing ergonomic support for little body parts. The chairs are stackable and can be moved to a corner or can remain at the dinner table. There are optional seat covers (or make your own for your dinning décor), an optional attachable eating tray for those who can't get USED TO NOT having a highchair tray- but i would not purchase this if i were u. My older grandson uses his chair at the computer for proper sitting. and the adjustable seat&foot rests allows proper seating at any desk or work table for child activities. This was absolutely an excellent purchase for my grands which can be used up to ELEVEN years old - or by recommended top height- which ever comes first. This Euro design is superior to US baby highchairs and you continue to use this chair for many years to come. It will be the only baby/child chair you will purchase, the good quality wood will allow this chair to be passed down to many little family members in the future. A MOST EXCELLENT PURCHASE. Get away from the old US baby highchair concept. It will be WELL WORTH IT!!!

I recently purchased this "booster seat" for my now 19 month old.

I have a "funny" story into how I wound up with a KinderZeat in my kitchen. I origionally purchased a cooshie booster soley on reccomenation, and it wound up ruining the finish on one of my brand new wooden kitchen chairs! I was devistated, I had to buy another chair, and a booster. My friend told me she saw this chair at BRU and thought I should check it out. I wound up purchasing it, and its probablly the most used item in our house.

My son can get onto it himself, using the footrest as a step, like a ladder. He sits right up at the table, and doesnt use the harness. The seat adjusts for different ages/sizes, and even I love sitting on it. We made him a SpiderMan cushion for it, and he loves it even more. Its super easy to clean, and you can take it apart for easy storage.

So, I wouldnt really have spent all that money for a booster seat, but now that I DO own one, I fully anticipate purchasing one after my now 6 week old uses and outgrows the Eddie Bauer chair we own. Ohh yea, this is NOT a highchair, and I think 12-18 months is a good estimate of when a child should begin to use one. Even with padding and a seatbelt, theres no sides, no tray, no full back. If money is an issue (we do not have the money to purchase another one really) then I have some solutions
(1) Buy a highchair and then sell it on Ebay when your done, use the money to buy the KinderZeat (we will probably do this, but you still will need to add in money for it)
(2) Borrow a friends highchair and then buy the KinderZeat
(3) Purchase a cheap booster (like the healthy care) and then buy a KinderZeat
(4) Register for the KinderZeat, and buy a cheap highchair!
(5) Refrain giving your child solids until 18 months old (thats a joke)

All in all some how we are going to purchase a second kinderzeat in a year or so, and put a kitchen chair into storage. Boy, if I was rich my whole house (and the houses of everyone I know!) would be furnished with these chairs, they match my decor, and are easy to clean. Kids love them, and they are timeless. A perfect booster for decades.

We purchased one for our son when he was two and just ordered one for our 18 month old daughter. We have another kid on the way and plan to order another when he/she is around that age. No messing with booster seats, phone books, or sitting on his knees. Reduces spills and wiggling because he is at the proper height. VERY easy to clean - sponge, cloth, or dust buster and voila, all clean! We even took our kinderzeat to my parents when we visited.

We bought a kinderzeat for our son about a year ago. I had been thinking of getting one since he would never sit at the table long enough to finish a meal. With this seat he ASKS to sit at the table (instead of child size picnic table) for meals, crafts, etc. He even uses this chair at the computer. We love it so much that we are going to buy a second one for our younger daughter. Assembly is very easy as is adjusting the seat and foot rest. It's very sturdy and something we will have forever. My only complaint is that I wish I had bought it sooner!

I bought this chair for my now 10 mos old son, and though it recommends not using it until the child is 18 mos old, we added a feature that allows it to be used by a younger child. We wanted our child to sit at the table from the very beginning, like a "big boy" and not be pushed to the corner because of a big bulky tray. To encourage good table manners. So we bought a pommel that we drilled into the bottom of the seat, this helps him not slide down. We used it up until yeserday, actually, because now he can sit better on his own. Again, I know this is only meant to be a chair for 18 mos and older, but we did make some changes that we felt were incredibly safe and easy to do. You of course will make your own choices for your child.

I am quite picky about baby items, and I LOVE this. I got tired of the space a regular high chair used up, so I got this. It was easy to assemble (I had it put together before my husband changed into his "toy assembly clothes.") My eighteen month old daughter can climb into it herself, and she loves it, too. I wish I could afford to buy my 6 and 8 year olds this chair. I think we will use this chair for a long time.

I purchased one on sale for $150 for my three year old, since he wouldnt sit in a highchair, or a booster seat.

(1) This chair allows him to get up on his own, and contours to his size (adjustable seat and footrest)
(2) It matches my kitchen decor, and even I want to sit in it!
(3) With the cushion and buckle and even a tray it would make a great highchair later on for my now 7 week old, but I already have a nice wooden chair that I used for my 3 year old
(4) Its very easy for a toddler to climb into by themselves!
(5) The seat can be used for ages, longer than 11 years as I can sit in it myself.
(6) Its very durable and easy to store when not needed (although I cannot see WHY it wouldnt be needed!)
(7) The seat will ruin wooden floors, but after going to homedepot and purchasing those felt circles, its not a problem.

All in all I am defiantly planning on using this chair for ages, and if you wanted to you could even use it as a highchair!

Although on the pricey side, this chair adjust to my kids at every age. There are knock-offs that should be similar, but I could not resist buying a second chair when I had my second child. I've had the traditional high chairs in the past and they do not compare in having my kids at the right height with the right footing and the clean-up a thousand times easier.

I love this chair & it's overall design! My husband & I purchased this seat for our daughter in 2001 & another one in 2003 for our son. They both love them! We actually used them at around 12 months instead of the labeled recommendation for 18 months for both kids. They are easy to move & fit beautifully at our kitchen table and also the snack bar.

This is a solid, sturdy seat with a beautiful finish. We ordered the Teak, now called Cherry & though we ordered 2 years apart--the finish matched perfectly.

This is a chair that I plan to keep for the grandkids...it is a good find!

This is a great chair. I have friends from Europe who had two and they were very satisfied with them. I purchased one for my son when he was 18 months old and he loves his big boy chair. He does great sitting at the table. My husband thought I was crazy when he saw the price but now he wants to get a second one for my daughter who is 15 months. It is really a practical chair because they can use it later at their desks in their rooms.
