When my wife and I registered for our baby, we didn't put a highchair on our registry because it was something we didn't need. However, 3.5 months later, we realized we probably would need to start looking around. We had a gift card for our local Babies R Us and decided to see what kind of selection they had. Out of the 20 or so high chairs, this one was one that appealed most to us. It looked nice, had great functions listed, and would grow as our baby grows. The color we originally wanted was Oasis, but anyone who has shopped at Babies R Us/Toys R Us can tell you that the markup on their items is a bit more than other places. We decided to wait to shop around. Then a couple weeks later, Amazon had SAME highchair on a Lightning Deal but in the Metropolis color (black & gray). We decided that for $50 cheaper than Babies R Us, it was worth purchasing despite being a different color. After a few weeks of ownership, my wife and I couldn't be happier. From beginning to end, putting this highchair together requires NO TOOLS and only took me about 15-20 minutes to put together. Our infant (she's a little over 3 months old, was born a preemie) LOVES LOVES this seat. For some reason after she eats, she likes sitting up and doesn't like being laid back down. The problem is, she tends to feed right before our dinner time. What this allows us to do as parents is actually EAT & ENJOY our meal while our daughter is right next to us. I can't tell you how many times before we got this chair that one of us had to hold her while the other eats their dinner at our dinner table. Then when that person is done, the person holding her (usually me) ends up eating a cold dinner. This chair solved all our problems. It's important to note that this chair is a 3-in-1, rather than a 4-in-1. The difference between 3-in-1 highchair systems and 4-in-1s are that the 4-in-1s usually accommodate children that have surpassed the toddler stage. Meaning they can sit directly into the chair without the booster. - Easy to put together. - Easy to clean (fabric is easy to wipe and can be washed, tray comes with insert to make it easier when washing) - Adjustable reclining, height, & footrest positions can accommodate a growing baby - 5 point harness - Has wheels on front 2 legs so that you can roll it around the house. - Our daughter looks around, coos, and laughs while in the seat. She just likes being around us and has not fussed at all while in her seat during our mealtimes! - According to other reviews, there are reports that if you have wood floors, this can scratch them up. While it hasn't (yet), I took the initiative of researching more. It seems that this will scratch up your floors from the back legs. The plastic will wear down over time and that's when the damage starts. I took the initiative and purchased some furniture pads (adhesive) and taped them up to the back of the chair. No chance for this chair to scratch up my wood floors! - No wheel lock. I know this isn't a stroller, but I would have appreciated a wheel lock. While my daughter is too small to wiggle with enough force to get the chair to scoot, I anticipate it will eventually happen. Not sure if it would have been a safety hazard, but I think it would have been a great feature. Overall, my wife and I love this chair and couldn't be happier. Thanks Amazon!
