Is it easy to remove the baby from this highchair? Some reviews say it is not easy and the chair looks like baby's feet/limbs could get tangled.

I haven't had a problem with that, but I've only used it a handful of times.

It took two of us to get my grandson out. I still love the chair. It is so convenient.

It is difficult. It would be good if you could make the straddle where it would snap for small babies and unsnap as the baby gets a little larger. I think the straddle piece is the problem. I have to have a second person to help me a fish him out. He is at a weight that i don't think he need the straddle piece. He is about 28 pounds now and 18 months old. Don't see it a hazard removing the straddle at this weight and age. I don't use everyday being that I am the grandparent but it would be a hassle used everyday by myself.

We've not used it since she's grown older. There is no adjustment so that might be true.

I personally did not have any trouble, although I can see how this may be an issue. We honestly love this high chair! Wish we would have had it with our first daughter.

The seat spins pretty easily. It's just a matter of your baby figuring it out that it spins.

It won't quite slide under our table, so it sits a little bit out from the table. I definitely don't like it as much as real high chair for a baby or young toddler, but for our older toddler, it's not too bad. And for general flexibility, it's OK. No one's ever slipped out from under the bar yet, and it leaves plenty or room to fit legs between the table, but I could see a kid being able to squeeze out without too much a problem, so keeping them strapped in is definitely worth the effort, in my opinion.

It's quite easy to remove the seat. My 5 yr old can do it himself. He does need assistance to plug the cord to the battery though.

If you have the insert (which you need unless your kid is really big or 2+) then yeah you have to take it off. It's very easy, even if you have a baby in one hand. We love it.

Personally, I do not choose to use it. I know my baby isnt going to jump out of the rocker, I feel safe just placing her in it. Plus I can pick her up quickly, I do not need to unbuckle anything.

Absolutely! I have had mine for 4 years. My 3rd little is currently using it and will be doing so for the next year. The only thing I did was replace the seat cover and straps after 3 years of use. I wanted baby #3 to have new, clean highchair accessories. I love that the joovy site offers replacement parts for purchase if you need them. This chair is well worth the money.

The harness is only compatible if you are able to secure the middle bottom harness to the bottom of the seat. I bought this harness recently and was only able to secure the shoulder straps and two side straps. The high chair itself has a wide middle divider between the baby's legs so I feel that the baby is safe.

Love it for my baby ... we had a bit highchair (that I hated) - but did recline a bit, which is good for under 6 mo. But you can feed in the bouncy chair and then start using this for your everyday and everywhere chair. Seriously amazed at how much nicer it is to not have a simple booster over one of the expensive highchairs.

You have to be gentle with baby when you take him/her out this way. I have been able to at times when her feet aren't squirming around,but for the most part you do,still easy I can do it with one hand.

It would make a really tight fit for the baby if you tried to put it on a high chair. It is wonderful for a shopping cart though. The big puffy sides keep the baby from swaying back and forth or falling over onto the side of the cart if he/she can't sit up good yet. Now my son is 15 months and can sit up but we still use it to keep him from biting on the handle of the cart where other people have touched it. It also has two velcro tabs to keep his toys from falling on the ground. Shopping cart, YES - Highchair, NOT REALLY.

To remove the whole tray you need two hands, one on each side of the tray. We got the high chair when she was 14 months old (we are grandparents) and left the tray in place and slid her into the seat. I hope this answers your question.

You have to judge if your baby has enough upper body strength to sit in a high chair at 4 months. The belt system will keep him in the chair, but he may not be able to keep upright comfortably. Buy it and try it--if he is too little right now, he will grow into it so fast! It's a very nice high chair.

I jiggled and wiggled it this AM and feel that a baby/toddler of 25lbs. and under would not probably be able to pull it over. There is a curved section on the lower level and it is not super strong, so if a baby pulled on that area, they might break it off, but not pull it over. I am presuming they are talking about a crawling child trying to pull itself up to standing. If they are talking about a child tall enough to pull on the scratching post part (it's wrapped in hemp rope or something similar); that area is about mid height and if they pulled from there, they might pull it over.

Just a mesh on a seat. Baby wont get out from it easily due to its shape contoured to body shape. i didn't use the mesh, given soap might get into it during the bath time. i know we can clean it, but i don't know we can clean 100% between the baths.

This is a sturdy high chair. We like it much. My toddler girl has strong kicks as well. She sometimes tries to kick on the legs of our dining table but we did not want to risk a chance of her falling so we just move the chair slightly away from it. But overall, it is the nicest, wooden and sturdy chair that I have seen among my friends who have infant/ toddler.

The part with the toys hanging from it removes (I remove it sometimes when I give my daughter a bath I place on towel on the seat and lay her there for minute while I set up her bath). It snaps into brackets on the sides. The cushion/seat comes completely off so it can be washed and believe me if your baby has a blowout you'll need to wash it and it comes clean great. The frame will fold flat so you could travel with it. It's simple to put together you just need to screw the feet onto the bottom. I remember it being pretty easy. I did it myself. It's worth the money. If you have a multilevel house I'd get two of them. I wish we had another one.
