We just got this wonderful chair and already love and trust it! My husband assembled with our 16mo helping. :) He said it was an easy assembly. He is a hard judge and he said this was the best high chair he’s ever seen. Our little one was eager to test it out. He is also a hard judge. We had recently gotten a Ingenuity high chair and he was miserable in it and cried and cried in it. With this keekaroo chair he sits upright and comfortable at the dining room table. We were just testing it out but he was reached for some fruit and happily ate it all and even sat and hung out with dad and colored some. He hasn’t been eating well for a while and it seemed to do with his old chair (an ikea antilop) being uncomfortable without a foot bar and bars at his elbows and in between his legs. We are very impressed and happy we decided to take the plunge on this higher priced high chair. The facts that it assembled easy, changes positions easily, very sturdy, lightweight and grows with the child all make it well worth the price. Highly recommend. -hard to please family
