texancowgirl75's Full Review: Fisher Price Healthy Care High Chair
I picked this chair for my baby registry a year ago based solely on the rave reviews everywhere. Since I have now used it for 6 months, I can see why it has earned those rave reviews. It has become an essential in our everyday life.
Why I love it: Most of all I love how easy it is to use and adjust. The seat back can recline to three different positions, mainly I find that the middle is just perfect. The chair itself adjusts from the bottom of the seat being 14 inches from the floor (perfect if you yourself want to sit on the floor to feed him) up to 26 inches off the floor (perfect as a booster seat when he/she gets older). The seat cover is vinyl - very useful for easy wipe off. The tray can be put on two different ways - it can either be slid on (which I find a tad more time consuming) or it can just be snapped straight down (but you gotta make sure the little one's fingers are out of the way). The tray it self also has a top part that snaps off and can be put in the dishwasher for better washing. Best of all, the whole thing fold up for storage and there is even a nice little place on the back of the chair legs to store the tray on.
What bugs me about it: They don't make it easy to take the straps out for washing. I had to use a flathead screwdriver and tape to squeeze them through the holes. Also, there is a somewhat handy little caddy that hooks on the side that is useful for a 2 jars of food. I use it a lot to make sure the little one doesn't grab the second jar when I am feeding him the first. But it is annoying when your chair is not in use and my son keeps knocking it off or pulling himself up on it. And every time I move the chair from one place to another, it inevitably falls off. My solution, put it in the dish drainer when not in use.
All in all, I am extremely happy with my choice of highchair and can't even imagine owning any other. The only real drawback is that I will have to buy another when our second child comes along because my first one will still be using this has his booster chair, but at such a low price, it will be worth it.
