Fisher Price Rainforest High Chair
Price: £99.99 (although ours was purchased in sale with 40% discount)
This Mummy Score: 7.5/10
LittleOne’s score: Thumbs UP!
The Fisher Price Rainforest High Chair is one of those rare
baby products that have stood the test of time (and the test of one boisterous
LittleOne) from the age of 3 months to 2 years old.
The Fisher Price Rainforest High Chair was a panic buy on
LittleOne’s first Christmas (which was also my first Christmas as host... to 7
people... with a three month old new baby... was I mad?! Yes I was.)
I wanted LittleOne’s first Christmas to be perfect and
subsequently I wanted her to be involved in the Christmas dinner experience and
not staring at the ceiling from the confinements of her Moses basket. Cue the
desperate hunt for a high chair suitable from birth.
After viewing the Lula Bloom and the Rainforest High Chair, TheHusband and I decided on Fisher
Price’s offerings because of its three reclines positions and padded colourful
seat, allowing it to be used from birth up to 22kgs. Other features that
attracted us included the sturdy tray with integrated tiger rattle toy, 7 seat
height settings and removable harness straps (that can be cleaned in the
dishwasher! Hurrah!)
The high chair was easy to put up, taking approximately 15
minutes. The construction itself is sturdy and strong, as is the food tray with
removable insert, that was (and still is) almost impossible for LittleOne to
remove and use as a food Frisbee.
LittleOne loved the Tiger rattle, especially as she could
dunk it into every pot of baby mush offered in the early days (thank god it is
dishwasher proof!). She also loved the bright colourful illustrations on the
chair, and still enjoys naming each and every rainforest animal that beams down
at us with the notable ‘fisher price smile’.
TheHusband and I loved the easy clean aspect of the
Rainforest high Chair. The rattle, tray insert and harness can all be removed
and thrown into the dishwasher after every meal. We did find that the harness
needed an overnight dry out time, otherwise LittleOne ended up with slightly
damp shoulders. Nevertheless, the easier to clean aspect kept ThisMummyReviewer
more calm when it got covered in pasta sauce, pureed vegetables or in this case
peanut butter:
Fast forward to the toddler years and LittleOne is still
happy in the Fisher Price Rainforest High Chair, with the help of a few
adaptations. We have removed the tray altogether, allowing her to eat with us
at the dining table. We have also removed the top part of the harness,
strapping her in only around the waist to reduce constriction.
All in all, despite the somewhat inflated price tag, the
Fisher Price Rainforest High Chair is a big hit with ThisMummyReviewer and
LittleOne!
Here’s our findings:
Pros:
·
Easy to put up
·
Harness strap, food insert and rattle toy are
all dishwasher safe
·
Three recline settings, to accommodate new born
to toddler years
·
7 height settings (perfect as many high chairs are a static height)
·
Food insert, harness and toy are all
dishwasher safe
Cons:
·
Large footprint even when folded down, making
it hard to store
·
Nooks and crannies in the seat store crumbs
galore
·
A little pricey, but worth it in my honest
opinion
(This Review is 100% unbiased and the high chair was
purchased with our own money.)
