Baby Trend High Chair Palm Tree

Comment: We tried this with two kids and it didn't work out for either. Even though our kids are tall for their age - very tall - they sat so low that the tray was up to their armpits. It's easy to clean and store, and quite sturdy, but useless given the fit.

Comment: The size of the chair is very odd. Our 8 month old is swimming in it. He sits very low and far back. We had to "add" padding by putting towels under the cover. Its an odd work around, but we didn't feel like taking it back. Our friends purchased a FisherPrice - Easy Fold and that seems to be more appropriately sized. Also, the cover says not to machine wash... obviously a stupid restriction for a baby high chair cover.

Comment: I'm disappointed in this chair because I think Baby Trend usually makes good products. While it is easy to use, it seems geared toward bigger kids. My 10-month old always falls to the side of the chair and the tray is too high on her chest (she's average height and has been sitting up for months).

I have been able to get food stains out of the fabric by washing the entire cover on Delicate cycle and then air-drying. However, the cushion on the bottom has bunched up inside the fabric and I have not been able to flatten it out.

My nephew has a Graco Contempo, which my daughter has used, and I like it much better because she sits up higher and the tray comes right to her at the appropriate height. When my daughter is done with this chair, I think I'll sell it in a garage sale and get a Graco for the next kid.

Comment: This chair has lasted through my two kids with flying colors. I originally thought- ick, the fabric is going to be so much harder to keep clean over the plastic chairs, but not so. You just whip off the cover and throw it in the wash once a week and no more scrubbing caked-on spaghetti sauce by hand. The fabric holds up beautifully in the wash- no staining, ripping, and in this light color- no noticable fading. The straps can be tricky to thread through the little holes in the cover, but with a little practice, it's not bad at all. This chair was so comfy and even great for infants when you just needed to set them down somewhere. Just tip the seat back, strap them in and they can hang out with you while you're in the kitchen. The tray is pretty high for them at this age, but just fine when they grow a bit bigger.

I like how the tray comes off easily and hooks on the back for storage. The clip on extra tray is a godsend and fits just fine in my dishwasher. It also folds up easily when you need a little extra kitchen space. The adjustable height allowed my kids to sit at the table with us (without the tray) when they started wanting to be more "grown up". We all know how much fun THAT is.

I have absolutely no regrets over purchasing this chair. It's well built, durable, easy to use, comfy for baby, and looks great in this particular pattern and not all disgustingly cutesy.

Comment: I liked this chair at first, but I was a new mom and really didn't know what else was out there. The biggest problem for me is that the straps have never been snug enough to keep my daughter seated. As soon as she learned how to stand up, she was always climbing out of it (even when you make the straps as tight as possible). Even now, at 2 1/2 years old, she still gets right out of the 5-point harness without unbuckling it. Very dangerous and I can never take my eyes off of her. I do agree with the other reviewers that it is very hard to clean and you have to wash the tray by hand because it is so big. I took the pad off months ago and it's ugly but at least I can just wipe it. I am now pregnant with my 2nd and will be looking for a different chair. This one is just too annoying. The wheels are its best feature and that's not saying much. You think you need a recliner, but you really don't.
