Hippo Hookon High Chair - Nature

My wife and I saw this while browsing for items before our daughter was born. We were really pleased when we received it as a gift, as it was something we wouldn't have necessarily bought on our own.

This seat is fantastic if all of the conditions are right. Yes, it is sturdy, holds up to 37 pounds, looks cute, and washable (but you have to really tug to free it from the metal ribbing holding it together). But, there are some things that are annoying. I have yet to figure out how to collapse it down for easy carrying in the bag, and usually just disassemble it. The tabs that lock the legs seem to catch against it, so folding it down to fit in the bag just hasn't worked. The biggest issue is finding a table it'll work with when you go out. You have to have a table without a central pillar support, but rather four legs on the edge, or else the weight of the child will cause the table to tip.

My baby is 6 months old and no longer uses his infant car seat. When we go out to eat he has nowhere to sit because he is still too small for the resturant high chairs. I bought this a couple of weeks ago and it is Perfect! It fits on any table. It is small enough for him (15lbs) and will be big enough when he is 36lbs. I recommend this to all parents, even those who don't go out that often because when you do you will wish you had it.

We got this item as a late shower gift and we love it. Our daughter is in a bigger carseat now so we no longer have the luxery of the carrier seat when we go out to dinner. But she also lacks the abilty to sit up totally on her own. She needed more support than the typical public highchair. This item gives her that! It gives her the back support to sit up during dinner and she loves it. She will sit there and play and look around the whole time! It is also making her more confident as she is learneing to sit up on her own.

Another big plus for us it that it is always clean! The public ones can be so dirty and gross sometimes, but we never have to worry now! Another great feature for us was that it folds and stores easliy in any car and attaches in a stap to any table.

This seat really is a great idea and a toatl must hvae when your child is out of the carrier.
