Bad points: I like the grippy hippos but find that food gets stuck under the hippo grips and in the creases of the hippos - not a huge deal but it does mean that I have to losen the chair and wash it after each use. Also there is a space between the chair and the table which has become a favorite space for our daughter to "drop" food and practice her favorite word "Oht-oh!". I think that both of these "bad points" could be remedied with a plastic type placemat with perfect placement. Good points: We have traveled with this chair and although a little bulky (with all the other baby gear you need to carry along) it was a nice way to visit friends and not be juggling an infant on our laps. This chair also allows your baby to sit at the table and therefore interact more during mealtime - a huge bonus for social skills and family time. The compact size of this chair (compared to...Read more 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By KNSudha (Saratoga, CA USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Chicco TravelSeat Hook On Chair (Baby Product) I saw that a new model the 360 is available, and would go for that instead of this -- This is almost perfect -- I loved travelling with it, and its awesome. The cons are that it takes a lot of wiping down to clean up, with quite a bit of elbow grease and the gap between the seat and the counter/table is quite significant. So lots of food does get dropped down that gap. For everyday use, I found that its really messy compared to my prima pappa chairs with the removable tray, and vinyl seats. You have to wipe down with a damp/wet cloth to clean up and since it is made of cloth itself, it gets wet and needs drying time before the next use. So breakfast to snack time 1-2 hrs is not sufficient drying time sometimes for a really gooey breakfast mess that I had to wet wipe. Once a week or sometimes more often, I take it off, take out the arm pieces and cardboard seat foam, and wash it in our laundry sink.

This review is from: Chicco Hippo Travel Seat - Atmosphere (Baby Product) We bought this so we didn't have to use the highchair all the time in our house. We also bring it with us out to eat and to friends houses. It is super easy to travel with, but takes a few minutes to set up because you have to take it completely apart to fit in the bag. Overall though we are very pleased with it and how it is standing up to all the meal times. |
