This product has been awesome! We have four kids. Our first two used a traditional high chair (Chicco), our third used something similar to this, but not as versatile (Summer brand- it was basically a booster seat with a tray). I despised the real high chair and the booster was nice, but useless until at least 6 months of age. This is by far, the best product we have tried for feeding at the table. From day one, the baby was able to be at the table with us for family meal time. The seat reclines and has the insert for an infant. She happily sat with us and was with her family but her family was also able to enjoy her company but use their hands for eating and serving. The seat swivels on a base which is super convenient for allowing the baby to face in 3 directions. The seat sits securely on a chair. We bought a new kitchen chair for our table set with the birth of our 4th and it is still in great condition. The seat has been sitting on the chair for 6 months and has not damaged it in the least. The cover is very easy to remove and it washes brilliantly. The seat recline is easily adjusted from the front and it allows for a position that is suitable for babies of all stages. The baby is now 6 months old and just beginning to eat solid foods, but the chair has transitioned nicely with her from passive observer at mealtimes to active participant. We kept the tray in the box when the baby was merely sitting in the chair. When I went to get it for use when she began eating I noticed it was warped. This made it nearly impossible to properly latch into the chair. Why the 5 stars then, you ask? Well, I emailed customer service at Graco about this and their response was fantastic. I was immediately emailed back and they sent me a new tray, no questions asked. I totally understand that things happen, but Graco certainly took care of this issue leaving me very satisfied. Additionally, if you care about this sort of thing, the seat pattern is understated and neutral.
One more possible point of interest: I know all babies are different, but our baby loves sitting in this seat. She is not so fond of her swing and would fuss shortly after being placed in it (which was not all that often). In this seat, however, she seems very content. She lasts through a 30-45 minute mealtime without any fuss at all. During the summer, we often eat on our patio and she did not last through a meal in her swing, but if we ate inside and placed her in this seat, she had no trouble at all.
Since she is still little, we have not tried the booster function of the seat yet, but even if it completely flops (which I doubt), I feel we have gotten our money’s worth out of this product.
