The seat surface is rubberized like the inside of a baby bathtub, making it less slippery and easier to clean, and the corners are all rounded so crumbs and liquids don't get trapped and smelly. If you need to adjust the seat tightness, you can do so using the adjustments found underneath the seat. If your baby kicks against the edge of your dining room table you want the high chair to roll back or do nothing, not tip backward. Speaking of the tray, it also has a long center piece that sticks down between the legs, which means that it can't simply be placed on the counter and stand on its own.

Just like a great pair of shoes, you want to find the perfect balance between something that will look great and what you actually will want to use. It uses a 5-point safety harness with 3 shoulder height adjustments, and the tray includes a crotch bar (safety post) to prevent babies from sliding down (though the seat belt helps with that too). Some chairs start as stand-alone high chairs that you pull right up to the dinner table, then the seat/booster portion pops off and straps to your dining room chair, first with the tray attached and then without the tray (using your table instead of the tray). Starting around 4-5 months, your baby will begin spending a few hours a day in their high chair to enjoy meals and snack time, watch you prepare meals in the kitchen, and explore first foods.The more upright your baby the easier to swallow and the less likely they will get indigestion and gas during or after eating.

Speaking of the tray, it also swings out so you don't need to lift it off and put it somewhere just to get the baby out.We never publish any content related to the health or well-being of your child without first consulting with expert pediatricians, midwives, therapists, OB/GYNs, and other specialists as appropriate.

It uses a 5-point harness that can be unbuckled with one hand, which is a nice touch, and a passive crotch bar that keeps the baby from sliding down too low. A little more about the tray - it is not adjustable at all, so you can't move it closer or farther away from your baby.

The last thing you want is a chair that doesn't make cleaning convenient - if it's hard to clean, you'll find yourself cursing your purchase decision on a weekly basis! The Ingenuity trio is first-rate for young children who are needing a little more space and don't have any other chairs, the high chair gives a ridgedale fabric that is designed to reduce injury and keep children safe. And as your family expands, this convenient 3-in-1 high chair includes all the grow-with-me features your family needs.

In our testing, we found the high chair to be pretty simple to assemble, sturdy and safe, and versatile in its adjustments. The age range is a bit restricted relative to other options because you can only begin using the Antilop once your child can sit on their own unsupported, and then the maximum weight is 33 pounds (or 3 years old). There is another little convenience feature that lets you attach the tray to the back of the seat for storage, but we didn't find that very useful since the back is up against the chair when attached. The foot-rest also adjusts by swinging up and down, and all of the adjustments were very easy to use and intuitive, and we loved the fact that you can fold up the entire high chair to be about the size of a stroller, allowing you to quickly throw it in the closet or trunk.Like the Graco, this design allows you to use the high chair seat attached to a dining room chair and the booster at the same time (in case you have 2 kids about 1-2 years apart from each other in age).
