Don't waste your money
This is the worst chair to buy for your baby. I bought this chair when my daughter was 4 months old (she is 16 months today) and I have been using it the entire time since she started solids. The only nice thing about it is the style is funky and people ask me about it all the time. I bought it because I thought it would be useful as a table and chair as well as a highchair. She is about 32 inches tall and still too short to use it as a table and chair. Assembly was easy and quick with plastic "screws" that you can use a quarter to tighten it up. I have found that the screws loosen all the time and have had to tighten them up at least six times since I have bought it. Secondly, there are two slots in the back for the safety straps, but only one opening in the seat cover, so the upper slot is pretty much useless since the cover openings are only positioned for the lower slots. Also, threading it through the slots and the cover was really difficult. The seat cover is not machine washable, but can be wiped clean. After a year of using it, I noticed that the plastic layer on the cover was separating by the leg area and has since ripped off (like plastic wrap). The absolute worse part about this chair is the huge space between the tray and the back of the seat, both in the innermost/upright position, there is about 11 inches of space there. Unless you have a super chubby huge baby, most of the food will end up in the baby's lap. I use a Bibbity, and the food still falls past it and into her lap. Also, there is a safety "stump" looking thing attached to the seat that prevents your baby from slipping underneath the tray. The strap that goes between the legs comes through an opening right in front of this "stump". So, you can imagine the kind of food bits that end up around the strap and inside the seat bottom. This part is not easy to clean, and if something liquidy goes in there, you'll have to take it apart with a screwdriver. My baby had a lot of trouble with her gag reflex and would often throw up in the chair. Many times (at least 50 times that I remember), some of the throw up would go in that space, and under the "stump" and I would have to take it apart to clean it. It was a pain, but then I got smarter and had a plastic bowl handy during mealtimes to try to catch it before it went into her lap. Of course, anyone who has a baby with this problem, knows that it isn't easy to anticipate or catch it in time. There are also two colored "buttons" on the tray which seem to have no purpose other than to collect bits of food under it. The safety clip is very snug and I have pinched my fingers and my daughter's tummy in it many times while securing it. I always got a bruise that would last a few days, it is that sore! This chair would be great if the seat cover was more durable and had openings for the upper slots, and if the tray could slide in closer to your baby. I wish I had bought the Fisher Price Healthy Care highchair instead. It is a bulky chair that takes up a lot of room. It is hardly portable in its assembled state, although I do admit to taking the "chair" part with the tray to visit relatives since it fits in the back of my SUV.
I now use the Fisher Price Healthly Care booster chair during visits instead. I also have a Combi stroller and have used the Connection infant carrier which I loved, so I was very disappointed that Combi put out such a poorly designed highchair.

Great Idea
I like this high chair so much that I bought two! It is easy to clean and my children seem to like it. I love toys and baby gear that serve multi- purposes. The idea that this will convert into a table and chair later on is great. The only downfall is that you have to constantly check the plastic screws that hold it together to make sure that they stay tight. We can even have picnics outside by using just the chair part. It converts with just the push of a button and since it is mostly plastic we can hose it off on pasta night.

Poor design and quality.
I'll just ADD to the other reviews, but I must complain about the harness buckles.

1. Safety harness/belt buckles - my wife's finger was bleeding recently - that's how hard they are. Extremely hard to open and close.

2. Reclining back rest. There are three positions and you need to pull up a locking handle behind the back rest, then recline. Almost impossible to adjust - it gets stuck, you need to use force, it then "snaps" into the new position. Don't even try to change the angle with baby in the seat - you may hurt the baby when it snaps.

3. The removable plastic food tray. It arrived slightly deformed. It's not completely flat, so it wobbles in its base and makes noise.

4. Static. Because the chair is entirely made of hollow plastic parts - it's like a static dust and hair magnet.
