Graco Meal Time Highchair, Betsey

I got this high chair about a month ago as a second highchair when my twins began eating solids. I already had the BabyTrend and was looking for a few key improvements that this chair provided. Overall, I've been pretty happy with it with a few disappointments. Considering the price, though, I can live with the shortfalls.

Pros:
1. Vinyl seat cover. The seat cover can be wiped down, yet does not feel plastic-y. This is a major improvement over the fabric cover on my old highchair which, though machine washable, is so difficult to remove and replace, it hardly gets washed.

2. Removable tray insert. This makes cleanup easy -- just stick in the dishwasher or rinse in the sink.

The various height levels of this high chair are great..... but the front does not open up all the way. The tray comes off, but underneath the gray tray is a molded piece that does not open up.

I just bought this highchair a couple of days ago for my 10 month old daughter, but in the Meridian print and I absolutely love it!! It was very easy to put together and she loves sitting in it, she tends to yell when we try to take her out! It adjusts to different heights great for in the dining room or the living room while you are sitting on the couch! The tray comes off and slips right into the bottom of the dishwasher so very easy to clean. I loved it because the seat is able to just be wiped off but isn't that nasty slippery rubbery kind of material which is all that I was finding before. I definately recommend this!!
