Chicco Polly Double Pad Fabric Highchair, Adventure

I was going to buy a wooden high chair for my baby, but after seeing one in person, decided on this one instead. I am SO glad I did! I can't rave enough about this high chair. Here are all the things I love about the chair:

1. Two chair covers! One can get thrown in the wash and still have a pad on the chair. I don't have to rush to clean it. However, unless it's a real mess, it is easy enough to clean with a cloth. Nice cushioning, too. My baby is comfy in it.

2. Removable tray liners! The high chair comes with 2 removable tray liners.

Whoever designed this tray system should have a severance package waiting for them on their desk in the morning.

I registered for the Polly because several of my friends recommended it and said it was the best chair on the market. I chose a color that looked good in our kitchen without realizing that some of the styles have FABRIC padded covers and some have VINYL. Apparently my friends have the Discovery - which is vinyl. The Adventure is fabric. The fabric is impossible to clean - you can't put it in the washing machine and it leaves watermarks when you spot clean it. It is an annoying cleaning process every night.
