highly recommended

Looking for a way to keep baby entertained while you're preparing his meal or cleaning up? How about giving baby a rainforest of his very own to play in' The Rainforest Healthy Care High Chair has a toy that gives baby just that. Snap it into the high chair tray, and baby can play with different rainforest animals in lots of different ways, including activating music, lights and sounds. There's also a tethered toy that stays with the tray.

While baby's enjoying the rainforest, you'll enjoy conveniences like a one-handed tray removal, 7 chair height adjustments, a dishwasher-safe insert tray and more. Toy requires 3 "AA" batteries. Look for more wonders from the Fisher-Price Rainforest collection. Holds up to 50 lbs. Measures 16.87" x 13.37" x 23.6".

really well designed

I was given two of these as baby shower presents for my twins. I'm so glad I was because I'm not sure I would have sprung for the cost of them myself but they are totally worth it. They are really well designed. The tray toy keeps the babies happy while I prepare their food, and they continue to play with the tethered toy while they're eating. Assembly and adjustment are quick and smooth. They're very easy to clean which I really appreciate now that the babies are eating three times a day! Even the straps clean off well with a sponge and vinegar. I use the segmented areas of the snap-in tray for their food rather than putting it in bowls - it lets them play with the food and practice feeding themselves while avoiding having the bowl flung to floor and spilling all the food.

I wanted wooden but ended up loving this plastic contraption.

I searched and searched and searched for an alternative to a big, plastic, cartoon-themed high chair but kept coming back to the supreme quality and functionality of the Fisher Price Rainforest Highchair. And, you can't beat the price for something that will be plastered with mushed food.

I pined away for a Tripp Trapp or Svan wooden high chairs because of their lovely design qualities but kept coming back to the reality that my 6-month old needed a tray and more support than those chairs could offer. Plus, I wasn't really ready to spend $300 just so it would look good in my dining room.

So, I told myself to just suck it up and buy the ugly one. It was an easier decision when I vowed to myself that I would upgrade to a European wooden chair when she was more ready to eat at a table with us. I was burned before on a infant bouncer/rocker that had high design and a high price but proved to be useless in the end. It looked damn good, but our baby hated it.

What sold me on the FP Rainforest model was:
-Baby Bargain's review
-5 point harness
-Crotch bar so they can't slide out when you're unbuckling them
-Tray can be nestled up close when they are sitting so the food doesn't slide into their lap
-Tray liner that can be put in dishwasher
-Straps that can be put in dishwasher
-Seat cover that can be pretty much hosed down

The only thing that bugs me about the chair is that the brakes on each wheel are always getting bumped and thus put into the locked position accidentally. But, all in all, it's not a big deal at all.

And, as for the cartoon theme and colors I dreaded? It's really not that bad. honestly, and it could be worse. I could be numb to these things now though ... I do have an exersaucer in my living room, so what was I worried about?

[...]

Other chairs I seriously considered:
-Stokke Tripp Trapp
-Chicco Polly

BUY this high chair and stop worrying about the style. Think function, function, function when it comes to something you will be using several times a day, every day for many, many days to come.

Fabulous-- up until about 18 mo!

We have loved this high chair. The center toy had a problem after 3 months and FP sent me a new one right away for free. Easy to clean, great features and I felt totally safe using it. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars, is that once the toddler can grasp the sides of the tray, they can unlatch it and knock it (and all their food) to the floor. A better design would have made sure the kids cannot unlatch their own tray. But from 6 mo to 18 mo, it was the cat's meow and I certainly do recommend it. It would have been useful for another 6 mo if it had a different design, but frankly my toddler is happier in a booster seat anyway.

Good, but BUSY

This is a nice high chair. I picked it because it was one of the best recommendations from Baby Bargains and the reviews were good. I've been very pleased. So far my son enjoys the toy (don't buy because of that). The only down side, it is very BUSY. It doesn't blend in at all. I know they had a higher end and lower end with less busy patterns, but they didn't have the features we were after. Yes I've noticed the wheels locking up, but not a big deal on my hard woods. I don't move it around more than 6 inches at a time.

Great Highchair

I purchased this high chair for all the features, especially the wheels. My little one does not like to be out of my site and love to "help" me cook but you can only do so much with one hand. So this chair was great to be able to have her in it in the kitchen with me while we cook, she eats and plays. Then we can just wheel her right over to the table to enjoy dinner with the rest of the family. It is very easy to clean up; I only would have liked the little head insert to be made of the same material as the larger section. It's a bit harder to clean without having to launder it constantly. The toy has been a fun item as well. My daughter plays with it more on the floor than on the chair though. It does help to measure how she's grown since she wasn't able to reach the spinning part when we first got it but now can reach it just fine. It helps to have the tray out a bit so she can lean forward as well. This chair is definitely worth the money!!!
