A high chair that actually grows with your child

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: safe, highly customizable based on child’s age, and easy to clean. Con: can't be taken apart completely for easy storage
My four-year-old son has been using a regular dining chair for quite a long time now, but he still gets super wiggly or distracted, which has resulted in quite a few head bumps and tears. Still, I was a bit hesitant to try him in a high chair. I thought he was too old and wouldn't fit or like it. Boy, was I surprised. First of all, this is a solid chair; the front legs are metal and have some heft. There was no doubt that it would support his weight. The legs extend out quite a bit from the back, and despite that making the chair take up more space, it gave me peace of mind that he wasn't going to tip it over. Next was the level of customization. I was able to quickly and completely remove pieces that weren't necessary for him, including the tray, harness, and crotch post. The manual even has simple to understand recommendations about which features to use depending on your child’s age, so for a four-year-old, on top of removing those pieces, they also recommend not using the recline feature of the seat and adjusting the height of the chair to the lowest setting. All of this combined for a comfortable and safe chair that my son actually wanted to sit in. Some features that aren't specific to my son’s use of the chair but as a parent of two with one on the way that I love are the simple look of the chair and the removable tray cover, both of which make it super easy to clean. The sleek and modern appearance would fit in with any decor, and also eliminates hard-to-clean areas that are typical to high chairs. This thoughtfulness for parents extends to the genius addition of a removable, washable tray cover. There is nothing worse than trying to fit a giant tray in your sink to wash it, so let's face it, most parents, myself included, just do a quick wipe down on the tray, which doesn't exactly “clean” it. I can't wait to take advantage of having an easy-to-clean tray with my next baby. And I can attest that it fits securely on the tray until a parent removes it because I had my four-year-old try to take it off, and he couldn't. My one complaint is once the high chair is assembled, there’s no way to remove the seat from the base. We are a military family who has to move often and lives in base housing, so breaking down items for travel or storage is a must. I'm disappointed that so much of the high chair can be removed or taken apart easily, except the two biggest parts of the chair. Between when my son stops using the chair and when our baby is born, I will have to find ample space to store it because although the tray and legs will fit back in the box, the rest will most certainly not.
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this high chair.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This high chair is great and incredibly easy to wipe down. I have been using it with my three year old at the dining table without the tray or straps and she loves it. At this stage it seems that the back should be able to go a little more upright. It is adjustable to recline and straighten but I do wish it straightened slightly more. She is able to get in and out on her own which was surprising to me because it does not have a foot bar. This is the biggest thing about this product that I wish it had. A foot rest would be good for support while eating though she hasn't complained about it at all.
I also have a newly turned two month old and haven't had a chance to use it with him yet. I did give it a try and he was not a fan but perhaps a more chill baby would like it. I think very soon he will like to join us at dinner in the reclined position and to watch me while I cook.
The high chair I used with my first two children was more cushioned and comfortable but was super gross and hard to keep clean. I'm excited to use this one without the frustration of crusty purees and squished in foods getting stuck. I'll take cleanability over cushioned any day. The one handed tray removal will also be wonderful.
I love how this high chair looks in my home. Overall we love it so far and while there are some things I would change I still love it more than my previous high chair!
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this high chair.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who finds it super important to have meals together, this chair is amazing. Our current 3 month old can sit at the table with us during meals and be part of our family and our hands are free while he is safely in the chair! This is huge and I wish we had it with our first! I can also use it in the kitchen while cooking and he sits right near the counter. The design is modern but sleek, and it feels very sturdy - especially when our toddler is running around the dining area. I do wish there was a head support for newborns but our baby was comfortable as he filled out a bit more in his second month. We have not used the chair as a high chair for feeding yet but i did try the tray and it is super easy to attach and remove. I am surprised with how great this chair is and how much we use it. The chair will be a great place for your young baby to feel part of the table and it grows with your child and needs. Thank you to Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this product to test.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this high chair from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I’m so glad I did! As a mom of 4, I’ve tried out many high chairs and haven’t found one that checks ALL the boxes- easy to clean, adjustable, has a tray that doesn’t get stuck or fall off, and a non-bulky design. The 4 moms connect high chair meets these needs and more! First, I love the modern design. It is simple and clean looking and doesn’t take up a ton of space. More importantly, the fact that it is adjustable and can grow with baby is a huge plus. Many parents end up buying multiple seats as baby grows which can really add up. The recline on this chair allows baby to be comfortable at any age, even if they’re not eating solid foods yet. I have very young twins and they can sit and watch while I make dinner. Then I can easily switch the high chair to fit my older toddler. That’s one of the reasons that the one handed tray attach is so useful! Such a great idea and probably my favorite feature of the connect high chair. I’ve had trays on other high chairs that are seemingly impossible to connect and then later take off. Not the case here! I’d definitely recommend this high chair to other moms who enjoy baby products that are easy to use and easy to clean!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was grateful to have received this high chair from the Stellar Product Testing Panel! First, it was quite easy to put together, which is a huge plus for busy families. I immediately liked the look of the high chair and it fit right into our home. When we received the chair our son was only 4 months so we appreciated the newborn stage which tilted him back in the chair. We loved being able to have him at the table with us for family dinner, even though he wasn't quite ready for eating yet. Since then, he has transitioned to the second stage and he seems quite content and comfortable. Now, by far the best feature of this chair is the one handed tray removal. Truly a game changer and makes getting baby into and out of the seat a breeze. The removable tray liner made for easy cleanup and the straps add to the safety of the chair. Overall this is a great highchair, but one thing I think is missing is a foot rest. Especially as baby grows, they're legs will just be hanging down, which may become uncomfortable, hence 4/5 stars.
My little guy loves sitting up high at the table and it is so nice this high chair makes that possible since it reclines. I wish the seat were a little softer but overall I love it. Also very light weight and easy to move around.
The quality of 4Moms has gone downhill. I have the original highchair and needed a second and hate it. So cheaply made and doesn’t have the same great features as the original, like the ladder to climb up for toddlers. Hoping to return.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re glad we could connect with you, off-line, to get some additional feedback and to reach a favorable outcome.
I am in love with the new connect high chair! I have a 14 month old and this chair is a dream. I had a Peg Perego and it was so difficult to keep clean with all of the nooks and crannies! I would dread feeding my child. Every parent needs this chair! So easy to keep clean, just wipe it! It’s not too bulky and the color combination is pretty!
I would recommend this to a friend!
