Can this be used as a toddler chair without the tray?

Yes. We have used this since our LO was about 5 months and is now 18 months and still uses it. We personally put the tray on it so that it is a bigger surface to catch messes, but it would work well without the tray as well.

When you take the large tray off there is a smaller attached snack tray that is not removable. I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for but I love having that small tray attached for when my son is just having a snack.

I would not think so... I think the chair works fine without accessories for slightly older babies If I had to guess I'd say a year plus. But we only got this when our son was almost two years old so i don't have personal experience of the chair for younger babies.

If you can't find the plastic part, you can use the wooden part without the plastic. It is more difficult to remove, but you will need to remove it to get your child in and out safely anyway. We quit using the plastic part as soon as our child became interested in removing it herself, because it snaps on very tightly to keep food out, and can pinch little fingers. The chair is designed to push under your table and can also be used without the tray, which you will not be using for the life of the chair but only for about 2 years. The original chair comes with parts that go on the sides to replace the brackets that hold the tray in. If you are buying used, be sure that you are getting these parts as well.

Yes, at the highest setting your child can sit right up to the table with the tray on. When you lower the seat the tray will be at the tables height. I love it.

I don't see why not, the tray just locks into place from the weight of the child in the seat.

I suppose you could assemble it without the tray but it is so handy I would not remove it now for any reason. The tray is attached to slider rails on the bottom by two screws on each side and can be removed easily. The desk seems to be steady enough when the tray is pulled out all the way, so I doubt that the tray is making a lot if difference. The desk is beautiful and very handy to use, I love mine just the way it is.

Yes, but the legs don't stay in place. I would not choose this tray for this reason alone.

No. It just helps with the separation of the legs with the tray so baby doesn't slip out from underneath.

I bought the seat for my grandson but based on what I see my daughter doing it probably would be fine for small plates as it does have a tray. My grandson loves the chair so far.

The tray can be put on either side of your chair so I would think that would be possible. We returned out tray because it would not go low enough to be used comfortably. So hopefully your chair has a higher seat and you are a larger person than my Dad. It came at chest height and couldn't be lowered any more. It could be raised.

Yes. I haven't used it myself. I read some comments that the tray is a little far from the child to be practical...

Yes, you can attach the tray while using as a booster seat. The tray attaches to that part of the "seat".

Yes...but not in the same way that a Stokke or Keekaroo highchair can...where the tray is removed completely and you just pull it up to the table as it's on free standing chair. No. But we pull this highchair right up to our table (it's a little bit sticking out) and our son eats dinner with us. I figure when he's older he's going to want to sit at the table like a "big boy" anyway, that he will just use a real chair with maybe a booster seat. For us, the face that it folds up so compactly is it's BEST feature. We live in a small condo in the city and don't have room to keep it out all the time. Hope this helps!

I wish I could give you a good answer but we have not used a tray. The chair is used by my 3 year old G'Son by sliding it directly up to the table. Works very good! Very good product .

I bought this chair for a 2 year old, but I can see her being able to use it until she is 5. I would consider it a toddler chair.

Yes you can put the chair together without the footrest. I eventually took the footrest off of mine since it was uncomfortably short for me.

The chair sits flat and doesn't wobble while sitting on it, but the fabric might not be supportive by itself to be acting as a table. If you put a small tray on it, it would work perfectly.
