Great, comfortable, simple chair,

I did extensive research for a chair that could grow with our daughter. She wouldn't sit long in many chairs that were hand-me-downs or borrowed. She would arch her back, squirm and otherwise get fussy in less than 15 minutes. Now, maybe I didn't adjust these other chairs correctly. They were the plastic types that you see all over they place. I wanted a wood chair, with a smaller foot-print and one that would be adjustable as she grows. That wasn't too hard to find, but I also didn't want to blow $400. Especially if she wasn't going to be comfortable.
Pull the trigger on this one, just on a hunch for a promotion price on their website. There were only a handful of reviews, but I LOVED the fact that it was fully returnable.. even if I put it together and tried it for a few days. So, I got the chair, with a free tray and then purchased the new comfort cushions in chocolate.
OK, easy to put together, nice simple design and the cushions are firm by very...Read more

While I don't know that this chair would work for infants, it is wonderful for toddlers and preschoolers. It provide just enough support for a child who sits well on his/her own. My children are able to get in and out themselves by crawling up the foot rest. This chair is the same design as the "Special Tomato" chair for children with mild to moderate physical disabilities. My son with Spina Bifida, who uses a wheelchair but sits independently and can stand with support, uses this chair. The Keekaroo is actually a little sturdier than the Special Tomato which costs twice as much. (I have one of each.) I highly recommend this for anyone searching for an alternative to a booster seat or for an adapted chair for a child with disabilities. However, please note that it is not appropriate for a child who does a lot of rocking as it can be tipped over. The base is as sturdy as a high chair but a large child vigorously rocking back and forth will tip it over.

We recently purchased this high chair for our 7-month-old as a replacement for the gigantic plastic/metal high chair we had used with our older child. I love this chair - it is easy to set up, looks wonderful (it matches our table perfectly) and is a great value, especially when compared to the other comparably styled adjustable height chairs (Stokke, tripp trapp, etc.). I'm sure we'll get years of use out of this chair. I'd recommend purchasing directly from Keekaroo to take advantage of the specials they often have.
