Ease of Storage: How easy will it be to store this high chair when not in use, and where can you stash it? |
One of the highlights of this high chair is that it is a super space saver. It is very compact, stands upright on its own (no need to lay against a wall), and fits where other highchairs don't. According to reviews it folds remarkably flat and when folded, can easily fit in a pantry or broom closet of even be slid next to the fridge. |
Although easy to fold, this high chair does not fold completely flat, and the legs do not lock into place. There is a storage option on the back of the highchair for the tray & the clip-on toy, but according to reviews this isn't very practical because the toy sticks out. |
|
Ease of Clean: After every good meal comes the cleaning-up. With mashed food, spilled drinks and grubby hands everywhere within your child's reach and beyond, cleaning can be a dreadful chore, or a piece-of-cake. How easy will it be to get this high chair clean of the post-meal mess? |
The Graco Contempo is easy to clean, with features like a dishwasher-safe pull-out tray insert (some versions come with 2 insert trays), and easy to wipe-off base tray, quality machine-washable upholstery and a spare seat cover. According to reviews, the removable seat pad is easily wiped clean and can be machine-washed separately. Some parents commented that it is a bit difficult to get the cover off for washing and to put it back on again. Also, the extra seat cover provided is fabric, rather than vinyl. Food can sometimes get caught between the trays, which means the base tray needs to be wiped-clean because it doesn't fit in standard dishwashers. The straps are not removable and cannot be washed in a dishwasher or washing machine, just wiped clean. |
With dishwasher-safe insert tray, Health Care? chair vinyl pad and removable, washable straps, the Fisher-Price Rainforest is an overall easy to clean high chair. The removable vinyl seat cover can be wiped off very easily, and some people have even tossed it in the washing machine. Some reviewers mentioned that since the piping and frills on the seat are fabric they cannot be wiped off as well as the vinyl seat, and need to be washed. Tomato sauce leaves stains on the vinyl, and some parents had problems with food and liquids getting into the seams and creases of the seat and under the seat cushion, and then cannot be washed. The tray insert is dishwasher safe, but sometimes food gets all over the rest of the tray, which cannot go in the dishwasher and has to be wiped clean. The straps are easy to release and are dishwasher-safe. The toy is also dishwasher-safe, although some parents mentioned that it doesn't fit in a standard dishwasher and has to be washed by hand. |

Ease of Use: As parents, we don't only wish to make mealtime an enjoyable experience for our children, but also to minimize the hassle and mealtime madness. An easy-to-use high chair can help us achieve that. |
This high chair gets very good reviews on its ease of use. The 6 height levels allow you to have your baby at table height or at your level. The easy to use recline provides body support for infants and a comfortable position for feeding or an after-meal bottle or nap. There is also a soft infant head support, for extra comfort. The double tray is an advantage. You can use both the snap-on top tray and the bottom one. The 5-point harness is also very easy to use and designed for quick removal of the baby when the harness is unsnapped. There are excellent reviews from parents on the recline feature, the height adjustment mechanism, and the overall ease of use of the Graco Contempo. According to reviews the wheels are easy to roll, although may be squeaky sometimes. Very few reviews mentioned any problem with the castors (wheels) locking system. Some reviewers mentioned that it may be too easy for toddlers to pull up the top tray and spill food. Also the un-adjustable footrest is not very functional. |
This is overall a very easy to use chair. The various height levels mean that you can bring the baby to table height when having a family dinner, lower her down to near-floor level when watching TV or having a snack, and other height levels in between to suit your needs. The back recline can support infants who still cannot sit very well on their own, especially with the extra newborn pillow provided with the chair. The seat recline is also used by parents to put child in a more relaxed position for drinking their bottle or having a nap. Reviews from parents say that the back recline and height adjustments systems are easy, intuitive and work well. There have been some negative reviews from parents on the Fisher-Price Rainforest's performance. Many reviewers have reported on having had problems with the wheels (castors) brakes system, which makes them lock down randomly with even the slightest touch - something that can be rather annoying when you move the chair around. Some people also mentioned that the tray was a bit loose and it was too easy for toddlers to unlatch the tray themselves, and knock it to the floor. The cup holder sections on the tray are too far away and may be hard to reach for younger or smaller babies. Another point mentioned by reviewers is that the footrest is not adjustable, and therefore not very useful. |
