The quality has gone down extremely. I have the previous grey model for my son and just thought I was buying a white version. This new model is cheap. Completely made of plastic, not sturdy and feels like my kids can tip it over at any moment.
I love that it tilts so I can use it prior to baby sitting. Very unfortunate that there is no foot rest (I thought the cross bar acted as one and it does not). It also seems just slightly off the ideal 90-90-90 positioning. I think I can use a blanket to make the back/hip angle closer to 90 degrees
My toddler is now 2, and we started her in this highchair around 6 months. I like the look of it, find it easy to clean and like the functionality. We don’t use the magnetic tray to our advantage but it’s an interesting feature nonetheless.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this chair due to so many good reviews but the problem is the tray is hard to remove and I cannot do it with one hand. When I am removing the tray when I pull the bottom notch it makes a very loud noise like a gun shot….the other thing is that my daughter is 24 months and she is 26 lbs, she keeps sliding from the chair she keeps adjusting herself in the chair and the other draw back is that there is no foot rest…. With the price for this chair I expected more and would not recommend for anyone…
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The tray is suppose to have some magnets that help serving plates stay on. But it does not.

The 4moms® connect high chair™ features a one-handed tray attach, which uses magnets to smoothly guide the tray into place. The table top portion of the tray is not magnetic.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This highchair was actually not my favorite 4mom’s product. Unfortunately there are some design flaws that really make it something I would not recommend to others.
The first issue I have with this highchair is how incredibly heavy it is. When trying to push it in and out from the table it is very hard to do. In addition to that, it also takes up a very large footprint because of the large back legs. I like that it has a safe base and won’t tip, but it just seems to be so huge.
Another issue that I have with this high chair is the food tray. The white pull out tray is incredibly easy for children eating to flip off and create a huge mess. The other issue is the under portion of the tray. I had to be very careful when cleaning it to make sure no water got into the mechanisms because I don’t think it would ever come out once it gets in.
I did like all three modes of the high chair from newborn to toddler. That was definitely my favorite feature. No other chair has the ability to have a newborn at the table like this one does. I also like the general look and simple, modern lines and colors of this chair.
Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me the opportunity to review this product.
