Really pleased with this chair

I bought this chair over a year ago when my son turned 6 months. He's now 19 months and is still using this chair. We chose this chair because it fit on our table (unlike the Chicco which needs a lot of clearance) and we wanted a well padded and comfortable chair (unlike P&T's which doesn't have much padding). Our son eats all meals at home in this chair.

The great things about the chair are as follows.
1. It's very secure - we've had no issues whatsover with it coming loose.
2. It's portable - it's not the smallest when folded up (think P&T's is smaller) but it does fold flat and comes with it's own bag (which is part of the chair) which makes it easy to carry around, bring to restaurants etc.
3. It's easy to clean - I usually wipe it down in the evenings, and give it a light 5 minute scrubbing in soapy water once in a while after dinner + the food comes out easily. The chair dries overnight and is good to go by breakfast time.

The reason why I didn't give the chair 5 stars is because it doesn't have a five point harness (only 3 point), and kids can stand up in the chair which can be pretty frightening. You thus have to supervise your kid in this chair constantly, which you should be doing anyhow, though I still think a 5 point harness would improve the chair significantly.

Overall, I am happy with this purchase. We've had it for over a year and I see us using it for quite some time more.

Best hook-on chair!

We use this as our main high chair and it is wonderful! Our son (6 months) loves being right at the table, it looks very comfortable, is nice looking, super easy and fast to hook-on, and VERY secure. I also love that the bag stays attached and stores under the seat, so whenever we go out to eat, it is very quick to take the chair off and flip it into the carrying bag. While shopping for this type of product, we bought and returned another chair (zooper) because it didn't fit on our counter or feel secure. The Inglesina has fit perfectly everywhere we have tried to put it! We have also yanked and pulled on the chair while secured to the kitchen counter and it does not wiggle or budge at all. Our son is also very comfortable in it now, but will easily be able to use it for years. We have this chair in brown....on our computer it looked brown, navy and cream, but it is brown, navy, and light blue IRL. Looks nice and very unobtrusive in our small home.
