Good High Chair

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Birkshire:
I ordered this high chair after looking at lots of other high chairs and the consumer reviews. [...] My son has been using it for a few weeks now. He is five months old, and we had been using a Bumbo seat/tray until this came.The thing I love about this chair is that there is no assembly required, and the fact that it folds up so slim! This was really important to me as we don't have a lot of space in our small home. It is lightweight, yet sturdy and super easy to fold up...takes about 10 seconds! I also love that it came with an extra cover. My son seems comfortable in it, and the headrest has alot of cushion for comfort. I haven't had to wash the cover yet, so I am not sure how easy it is to remove and replace with the extra cover. One drawback to this chair is the size of the seat. It seems a little too small. It is fine now for my son, but I am thinking that as he gets bigger, the seat may not be big enough. I talmost seems as if he can't scoot back into the chair because it is too short. The other drawback is the footrest....it is too far back and too small to be of any use. Overall, I am pleased wth this chair so far despite its drawbacks. We may have to purchase a different style/model down the road as my son gets bigger but, for now, this works for us. I'd recommend this chair.
I don't know who designed this!!

I ordered this seat because I loved the print. I have the matching stroller and car seat and love them. HOWEVER, I could not have been more disappointed in the high chair. The seat for the baby was only 6 inches long. It was big enough for my newborn, but that was about it. I also could see how it was impossible to clean but I never got that far as I promptly return this.
Space Saver to the max!

This high chair has been easy to store, use and adjust to feeding position very efficiently. The pattern is beautiful and matched the decor of the rest of the dining room. It came with a second seat cover for messy feedings. So far I have not had any staining issue and the trays clean well. I would recommend this chair to anyone who needs to save space! This chair requires no assembly!!
Impossible to clean!

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Birkshire:
I really don't understand all the reviews that praise this chair. First and foremost, a highchair should be easy to clean above all else in my opinion. That would be the LAST thing this chair is. To clean the pad, you have to remove it completely. It is fabric on the back, bottom and half of back is vinyl. Why didn't they extend the vinyl up to the top?! Daily my son turns and wipes his face on the fabric, meaning daily I have to remove the seat and clean it under the kitchen sink (NOT machine washable!). It is a pain to remove the pad from the seat. I have started to cover the chair with a blanket each feeding to reduce my clean-up, but this also creates more laundry! I hate this seat, he is nine months old and I have stuck it out as long as I can, going to get a new seat today that is ALL vinyl.
Best Highchair!

This came out of the box and was put to use in less than 10 minutes. The head support is perfect for the younger babies and the toy snap-in feature (we have the coordinating swing, so we use those toys) is really great. Fits in between my fridge and the wall to get it out of the way quickly. The pattern is so pretty, I get compliments on it all the time.
better than expected

I love that it rolls easily, and had brakes for safety. the tray is super handy, easy to move and I love that I can wash the first and still feed baby with the second. Also, its not a big deal, but I was really happy with the pattern and color of the seat cover.
The 5 point harness and reclining chair are a plus, though we dont recline the baby, he didnt use the chair until he could sit up on his own.
the adjustable height is great too, we feed him in two separate rooms with different height tables, its nice to just move it up and down.
it does fold up slim, though the tray fold is a little more difficult than i expected. I haven't had to change/wash the cover yet so we'll see if that works alright...overall its a super product for the price. I'm wishing I had ordered it sooner. baby loves to hang out in the kitchen while i'm working, he's ejoying the view from up there
Oh, and it comes assembled, what a great feature!
Love this High Chiar

I love this high chair. It folds easily, high quality, and comes with an extra cushion. It's easy to clean too. The best part is that it is no assembly--just pull it out of the box and use!

This highchair can adjust to just the right level, tray is very easy to remove, and cleaning is not bad at all. My daughter can sit comfortably in it and there are no problems with getting her in, unlike the one this has replaced. Love that it folds up if we need some extra space.
Great High Chair

Very attractive high chair! I've already had to wash the seat, and it was easy to change. It folds up nice and small, and it's tucked away. I wish the wheels let it roll in any direction though.
Compact design! I didnt think possible!

It doesnt get any better. My friends who are moms wish they had this when they were new moms. It is a great chair. Folds compact and can be hidden away in the kitchen between appliances or against a wall. It is great for feeding a baby where you sit low to ground like a couch or if at a table with high chair feature. you can size this chair at any height. I like that it comes with extra cover for washing so you dont have to wait to wash and use again. I love the safety features and the headrests for newborn and older. Love the design and its quite stylish. definitely improvements from other high chairs! For those that are organization freaks like me, you will LOVE this one. It also has wheels that roll backward/forward and SIDEWAYS for storing. Love it, love it!
Like it

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Birkshire:
This product seemed like a great item at first, but it is such a pain to clean!! And the feature it brags most about is that it is compact to put away, but you never really put it away anyway if you use it 3x a day. Even though there are 2 covers, the hassle of removing the cover with all its snaps is not worth it. We have a Graco Easy Recline Chair at my inlaws and it is great.[...] It wipes down easy and is hassle free plus it has a nice large tray and parent feeding tray too.
Great High Chair

We use this high chair to feed our twins. I like the ease of adjusting it and of cleaning. The straps are just o.k., but it does the trick. I just wish it were easier to remove the headpiece covering for cleaning.....
Overall, it folds up super slim and super easy and looks great.
practical, convenient, comfortable

Purchased this for my 6-month grandson. He loves to bounce around a lot, and I wanted something sturdy for him to sit in to eat. He seems to love being in it -- very comfy. The chair feet are very solid on the floor. Easy to use, folds up nicely for storage and traveling.
Must buy!

We bought this high chair based on the prior reviews and am so pleased with this high chair! It's lightweight, sturdy and easy to put in the back of our SUV to take to grandma's house! I highly recommend this product and love Graco products overall. I had a problem with a Graco pack-n-play, called Graco and they gladly took the product back and gave me a refund so I could buy the same product. Graco is a great company as well!
The worst to clean

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Birkshire:
I bought this product after extensive time reviewing other high chairs. I bought it b/c of all the hype about necessary features such as recline, height adjustment, removable cover etc.. Despite all of these (unnecessary) features, I have come to HATE this high chair. It is such a pain to clean that I dread feeding time and have since bought another highchair that I can easily wipe down. Even though it comes with two covers for washing it, it ends up getting so soiled with daily use that I would have to wash it every day. This high chair does not wipe down well! Save your money and purchase a product that may not have all the frills, but wipes down easily for less daily headache. Also, the brake system does not work on tile floor and it easily slides all over.
Overall great high chair!

I love love love the design of this product. The fabric is of high quality and very nice to the touch. So glad that it comes with 2 covers. It was very easy to assemble. I like that it reclines to three different levels. My daughter actually fell asleep twice in her high chair. The only issue I have with this high chair is there is a gap from the back and where you attach the tray. My daughters arm always rest in between the space. I went to adjust the recline and forgot her arm was there and it squeezed her arm. I should have known this was bound to happen because since I got the high chair it was my only concern. Overall I would suggest this high chair to everyone.
