3.0 out of 5 stars
good, but a few annoying design errors, November 21, 2007
This review is from: Chicco Polly Double Pad Fabric Highchair, Adventure (Baby Product)
We bought this chair for my 6mos old son after having him sit in a few at the store. We also have the Chicco stroller/car seat travel system which we love.
All the high chairs we tried had some little minor annoying feature/flaw. You just have to decide which problem you can live with. On this Chicco high chair the main problem is the tray attach/detach mechanism. Try holding your baby on one arm and taking the tray off with the other, then putting the baby in the seat and putting the tray back on while holding your child back. The tray attaches to the arms via a set of small bolts controlled by a lever on the front of the tray. The arms have to be perfectly parallel and straight for the bolts to find the right holes in the arms, or you have to struggle with it by moving tray back and forth until it clicks in. Whoever designed this tray system should have a severance package waiting for them on their desk in the morning.
The yoke or hump that goes between the child's legs is attached to the tray, not the seat, unlike most other chairs. Not a big deal, but it definitely means you have to strap the kid in when the tray isn't in place. The removable trays are huge and dont fit in my dishwasher, though its not that big of a deal to wipe them down in the sink.
Other than these things its a fine chair, though expensive given the problems above. I'd probably get another type if I had to do it again, but this one works fine enough to leave it alone for now. js

5.0 out of 5 stars
Would give 6 stars if I could! Love it!!, July 12, 2008
This review is from: Chicco Polly Double Pad Fabric Highchair, Adventure (Baby Product)
I was going to buy a wooden high chair for my baby, but after seeing one in person, decided on this one instead. I am SO glad I did! I can't rave enough about this high chair. Here are all the things I love about the chair:
1. Two chair covers! One can get thrown in the wash and still have a pad on the chair. I don't have to rush to clean it. However, unless it's a real mess, it is easy enough to clean with a cloth. Nice cushioning, too. My baby is comfy in it.
2. Removable tray liners! The high chair comes with 2 removable tray liners. I've never had to use both, but I guess if I didn't have a chance to wash the one before needing it again, it would be handy. I like that I can remove the whole thing and walk it to the trash can and then the sink. It's fantastic and easy to clean!
3. The tray has holders for storage on the back legs of the chair. I always put the tray on those holders when my baby is not in the chair. This makes it so easy to put my baby in, strap her in, and then grab the tray to put on. (one other reviewer didn't use this storage spot and noted it was difficult to remove the tray with the baby in her arms.) Storing it here eliminates this problem.
4. The leg separator is attached to the bottom of the tray instead of the seat. I love this feature. I don't have to worry about getting her legs around that thing while she is squirming in my arms. Instead, once she is strapped in I can worry about it. Plus, this means the chair will literally grow with her. When she is big enough and doesn't need this feature, it converts to a regular chair at the table.
5. Height adjustment is great. Without the tray on, she can sit at the table like a big girl. She thinks that is great! Adjustable foot rest also grows with her.
6. There are brakes on each wheel. So it is easy to roll everywhere and then keep it secure when baby is in it.
7. It has multiple reclining positions which are easy to adjust.
8. It folds up easily.
9. This nice green color isn't like all the loud, colorful baby products you find. It fits nicely with our decor and doesn't scream 'baby in the house'! (though there are other color options like that if you like the colorful products).
As you can see, I absolutely love this product and without a doubt think it was worth every penny. I'm so glad I spent the money and didn't settle for a cheaper product!

Impossible to Clean - Choose a vinyl cover!, April 23, 2009
This review is from: Chicco Polly Double Pad Fabric Highchair, Adventure (Baby Product)
I registered for the Polly because several of my friends recommended it and said it was the best chair on the market. I chose a color that looked good in our kitchen without realizing that some of the styles have FABRIC padded covers and some have VINYL. Apparently my friends have the Discovery - which is vinyl. The Adventure is fabric. The fabric is impossible to clean - you can't put it in the washing machine and it leaves watermarks when you spot clean it. It is an annoying cleaning process every night.
