Chicco Polly Double Pad Vinyl High Chair, Miro

I would not buy this high chair again at any price. Most significantly, the tray is 2 pieces of plastic screwed together. My daughter is so messy that I need to thoroughly clean the high chair tray after every meal - just wiping with a damp cloth is not sufficient. (The tray covers don't help, she messes up the surfaces that the tray covers don't protect - especially the side of the tray closest to her tummy.)

Anyway, because the tray is 2 pieces screwed together, it fills up with water every time, but the water doesn't drain out quickly. Thus, the tray is often full of water! Also, my daughter gets the "seam" all full of crud and food. One time, my husband unscrewed the two pieces to thoroughly clean the tray, and we were disgusted by all the grime and crud inside!

Both the chair and the cushions are loaded with seams, cracks, and crevices that simply trap food and grime. They're always disgusting, and they're very hard to clean, unless you're...Read more

I am a mother of 3 and I purchased this high chair about 2 years ago.I would not purchase it again. While it was a decent price and nice looking, it has some major drawbacks. First, the crotch bar is attached to the tray. Very inconvenient if you are trying to manage the baby and the tray. You cannot set it down on a table. Second the vinyl seat is not well made. Food gets caught everywhere even underneath the seat. A milk spill caused a horrible smell that could not be cleaned even with taking the seat cover completely off and washing it. It saturated underneath the seat and smells like rotten milk. The seat also has cracked and torn after only about a year and a half of use. That just does not seem like a reasonable amount of time to me considering your child is supposed to grow with the chair. Another thing that is very gross is that the tray has a ridge around it (where top and bottom half come together) that gets deposited with food and dirt. I have tried to clean it with a...Read more

This high chair looks great in the store -- it looks well designed, it folds up, and, unlike many, it isn't hideously ugly -- but then you get it home and quickly realize that whoever designed it must not have had kids.

The design flaws:

1. The tray is about 25 inches wide. Your dishwasher is only about 20 inches wide and deep. Which means that it won't fit in your dishwasher. (If I were to design a high chair, the first thing I'd do is figure out how big a normal dishwasher is and design a tray that fits!)

2. The tray liner doesn't have a lip that goes completely over the front of the tray, so as your kid smears food around, he's smearing on the front of the tray. Which is made worse by the fact that the tray ...

3. ... is made of two pieces, resulting in a crevice -- perfect for a toddler to smash food into -- in the front of the tray where the two pieces come together.

4. So now not only are you handwashing the tray...Read more
