anyone have this or have seen it.. looks really good for the price- and maybe not amazing for newborn (which i dont need) looks really gr8 for any age above that.. and it seems like a gr8 price... http://www.zulily.com/p/natural-cozy-tot-to-teen-chair-17537-1583056.html

Any updated info? looking around and not sure what to pick.
I ordered the Baby Bjorn, i like the fact that is was compact but its way to small for my baby so i returned it.
Any info on the Peg Perego Siesta? It'll cost me $300 but it has great ratings and i like that it folds.
The Boon doesn't fold so not sure i want it.

Any input would be appreciated.

IMO the Boon is terrible. Small tray is very inconvenient.

Heard a lot of people who advise against the boon. It's not very comfortable for the kid, has a tiny tray, and takes up a ton of floor space.
Been doing research since I'm looking to buy one too. Heard amazing things about the Siesta and the Graco Blossom (if you're looking for a cheaper alternative).

I bought the BabyBjorn for ~$90 during Jet.com Black Friday / Cyber Monday weekend sale (sale price was helpful deciding factor).

Baby is super happy in it (although that might be since it means food time ;) ) and we like the fact that it's so compact and easy to clean.

The small tray is easier to wash in the sink, FWIW
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I have the boon and don't like it as well. Also it is only really good from when the kid can sit up, many highchairs have a recline option which makes it useful around the house from an earlier age.

No need for wheels since its so small and light (11 lbs). It slides very easily and I can lift it with baby inside if needed.

the prince castle high chair (only found it locally) is extremely practical/no little crevices, great tray, fantastic wheels, option for extra trays for milchig/fleishig, and small foot print. only problem is that it doesn't recline

I have a version of this as well and I love it. You summed it up perfectly

Boon always worked well for us.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I've been very happy with mine.

Nope. I guess you'll have to mop your highchair tray!

Siesta has great reviews, expensive though!
