3.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy, but with flaws December 12, 2007

By P. Draeger

Color Name:Red

I have to admit that I selected two of these chairs for our twins because Phil and Ted's is known for their thoughtful, minimalist design. Perhaps these chairs are a bit too minimalist.

They are constructed of quality material, but offer no support for the children who sit in them. Their backs rest against a metal tube which is the frame of the chair. The bottom is only connected to the frame through the fabric, so the design precludes back support.

In addition, the chairs are secured with wing nuts that tighten to the underside of the table. While they are very strong, they are exceedingly difficult to remove. In our chairs, the metal pad that distributes the load of the bolt to the table often falls off when removing the chairs.

Perhaps most aggravating is the inability to properly clean the fabric since it cannot detach from the metal frame. It's no secret that babies can be messy. Soft foods and liquids seeping into the nylon fabric (and foam in the bottom) is inevitable. Spot cleaning is not sufficient for cleaning these chairs. The only success I have had so far is to completely soak them, including the foam in the seat. Because of the foam, they do not dry properly and risk developing mildew.

There isn't much they could change in the design to address these issues without virtually remaking the design. A liner would be of great benefit, especially if it offered some back support. Everything we have used to line the seats with interfere with the safety strap system. But then, the straps don't stay on babies shoulders well and either come off on their own, or are easily slipped off by a baby.

I wish I had better things to say about this product. We've owned our chairs for over a year, and whatever virtues they had when new have disappeared entirely from my memory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! May 25, 2007

By E. Johnson

Color Name:Black

This is a fantastic piece of equipment. If I could afford to, I would buy one for all of my mommy friends. I HATE high chairs because of how much space they take up, how impossible they are to clean and their bad design. This chair hold my 28 lb 1 year old now, and will hold him until he weighs 40 lbs - fantastic! He sits right at the counter while I cook or get things done, the simple, minimalistic design can be cleaned so easily and he loves swinging his feet underneath. When it's time to go, I unscrew the two grips, flatten the whole chair (flattens to the size of a 1 inch binder) and pop it into my briefcase or his baby bag. FANTASTIC!

5.0 out of 5 stars We love it! June 3, 2007

By Eve

Color Name:Black

We initially bought this highchair for a trip but it ended up being so convinient that we are using it every day. Attaching the seat to the table is super easy and takes up a couple of minutes, plus it folds up so compact that you can put it in a diaper bag. Clean up is also super convinient, you can either wash it or wipe it with a wet cloth. I just rinse the whole thing under water (specially after a teething biscuit mess:) and it dries up in no time. My daughter loves to sit on the same level as us and another friend of mine who has an older child says it is the only chair her son can not escape from! The only little flaw with this chair is that if you go to a restaurant with thicker tables, you can not attach the seat (but this is a minor flaw, since it has only happened to us once). We love this product so much that it has become my official baby shower gift.
