Peg Perego Siesta, Grow with Baby Folding High Chair & Recliner, Height Adjustable, Quick Clean & Easy Push Wheels for Babies & Toddlers, Made in Italy, Ambiance Brown (White)

great high chair, great customer service
I love this high chair, and the Peg Perego customer service can’t be beat. I haven’t found the stationary front wheels to be a problem – we have a tiny kitchen and when my baby is in the high chair, I lock the casters on GO and can roll it wherever I need it. The movement is smooth and easy. I’m also impressed with how compact it folds down – since it stands on its own, we fold it up, push it up to the kitchen table as if it were a chair, lock the wheels to STOP, and that works for us for now. It’s also super stylish, and I get compliments from friends – everybody wants to know where I got this high chair. Luckily I caught a flash sale on Amazon and got it for a steal.Note that when you first get it, the arms will probably be a bit warped, and the tray table won’t line up with the holes. You have to do a bit of work to get the tray in and out, and it’s not a one-handed operation. I called Peg Perego and was told by their customer service that this is a known issue and has to do with how the frames are shipped and stored, and was advised to store the tray table in place in the arms for a week or two. So far this is working, and the arms are slowly correcting themselves. It’s not fully corrected after a week, but it’s on track to be fixed in another week or so. They did send me another frame but it had the same issue. I’ve been impressed with their level of customer service through this process, even if it was a little frustrating to get such an expensive high chair that had a warp issue.But that’s literally the only issue with this chair, and since it’s easily fixed and doesn’t really detract from the high chair I can’t knock any stars off because I love everything else about it. It’s clearly a high quality item, every component is well made and works well, it’s easy to keep clean as almost everything detaches, and my baby enjoys sitting in it. What more can you ask of a high chair?

Made in Italy and very comfy!
This is the best chair of all of the ones we tried for both of our kids! It’s made in Italy, very well built, easy to clean and seems very comfy with its padded seat.

The good and the alluring.
The good things:I agonized over which high chair to purchase for our first child. I remember the babysitting days of struggling withginormous high chairs that pinched baby’s fingers and legs, got gross baby food stains on the cloth seats and took up 10 ftin the kitchen. I determined it would be wood or something else easy to clean. We live in an apartment so a small footprint isessential to me. I didn’t want something obnoxiously baby-ish with circus animals or Pooh Bear (sorry, people). I wanted somethingsleek that would fit with our decor and not stick out like a sore thumb in our small open-concept kitchen-living-dining. Also,the chair needed to be quality, well-made, and solid.Check-check-check. Peg Perego Siesta is all of that good stuff.The minor annoying things: The doggone tray does not stay in place when stored if you have to fold up the high chair.Ours is always falling off the way-too-small tabs on the back legs. It is stupid how irritating that can be. If we did not foldup the high chair to get it out of the way we wouldn’t care about this.The “one-handed” tray situation is not really one-handed. I have to really pull hard and brace my foot against the chairso that I’m not pulling it with me. Maybe I’m doing something wrong and there’s a finesse to it. (yes, I squeeze the lever)The strangely alluring bonus things:It’s nice that the chair lays back. When you have to give medicine to a squirmy baby it is very nice to have them buckled inand laying back.The wheels. I really like the wheels. I know there are complaints, but I keep them in “go” position and we have funduring dinner with being able to wheel in closer, or push the chair away. It swivels fine.The foot rest. My kid likes it.The buckles. They are really easy. I got pretty orange pureed carrot on them and was able to remove them and clean themquickly. They look brand new.The “leather”-like seat. So. Easy. To. Clean. And, since we got the black, it looks sleek and spotless after.Raising and lowering the chair. What a crazy feature. I have used it a couple times though. I throw a couple toyson the tray and pull it into the living room, lower it, and baby can sit there while we eat in front of the TV.After all this, is it worth $300?I’m still undecided and I would like to see how it holds up over time. But, if the things that are important to avery-picky first time mom, are important to you, then you’ll fork over the change and you won’t regret it either.

Ok, I rarely leave reviews. This might be my first review on Amazon. After using this high chair for the first day, I feel compelled to leave a review for it, so that it will be easier for other parents to make a decision.My son is 2 month old, so he diesn’t need a high chair to eat yet. But he likes to interact with us, eye contact, talking, etc.. When we have dinner, we used to put him on a baby swing, which is too low, and he is not at the same level with us. He will get bored very soon and one of us has to constantly look down and talk to him. This high chair, with the adjustable seat that can be almost flat, is so comfortable for the baby and now he can comfortably sit at the table with us. And we can push him near us wherever we are.The quality of this chair is impeccable, I feel it will last forever. And, it’s so intuitive, I don’t even need to look at the manual to put it up, and make all the adjustment. It’s such an engineer wonder. You will know what I am talking about when you use it. It’s so user friendly.Some other reviews said it’s hard to clean. I really don’t know what they are talking about. The seat can be wiped clean easily, it can’t be easier than this.I strongly recommend this high chair.

Colour selection is good. Very “heavy duty” looking but styled nicely to fit in to dining household decor. I’m certain this will hold up to many grandchildren.
