We purchased this highchair 3 months ago and are really dissapointed with it. It looks fabulous and the seat looks nice and comfortable however . . . . it's big and bulky, getting the tray on and off is not the easiest thing to do. The tray has a joint in it which traps food and lets water in when you wash it, the only way to clean it properly is to unscrew it and take it apart!
Food gets stuck in the creases of the chair - after each meal, I literally have to take the whole chair apart to clean it.
My little one doesn't like being strapped in using the shoulder straps so we have to use the chair with just the waist straps and have ended up having to prop the seat pad up to make it high enough for her to be able to reach the tray comfortably - she's nearly 10 months old and 9kg so she's not particularly small!
I wouldn't recomend this chair to anyone and have considered buying a new one and either sending this one back to chicco or trying to sell it.
I wish that I had been a bit more savvy before making this purchase!
