Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
We bought this chair used from [$] for it. With my first child, we had a high chair with a regular cloth seat cover which was fine with an infant but terrible for a toddler since they get food everywhere -- so I was so happy to have a seat with the leatherette cover like this one -- so easy to clean. However, now I've discovered the reason for using regular cloth -- this is so hot! It makes our daughter sweat. It sounds like the newer ones have regular cloth behind baby's head to prevent this. Two other problems with it -- we had no manual and the previous owner was a smoker -- the cover stunk -- we didn't realize we shouldn't wash the cover, so we washed it in the washer with vinegar, but now I have discovered it has ruined the finish, which is cracking in several places and hurts baby's skin. Second, the issue with baby's arm getting stuck as many others have mentioned.We don't use the tray yet as we are still feeding her, but I like that the top part can go in the dishwasher. This chair can fold up nicely, but that doesn't matter so much to us.I think we will order a replacement chair cover and send this chair to Grandma's for a spare.

We bought this one because of how it folded up and the design matched out dining room colors. I loved it so much we bought a 2nd one to have when we found out we were expecting again a year later. I have had the first one for 2 years and love it, it is still clean and nice. Easy to fold, stores nicely next to our fridge. Would highly recommend!

I love this product it came out of the box ready to use. I do not enjoy putting products together and this was awesome!!! I also love the fact that it folds up for storge. I have a small house and didn't have a place to store a big high chair!!!The color was very pretty as well I really like the product and would suggest it to anyone!!!!

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
This is a decent high chair. Love the fact that it folds up and collapses very easy! We have taken it with us on trips and it fits in our car underneath our stroller. Now that our son is almost 8 months old, it is a must have if we are going to be feeding him (at friends, on vacation etc). They tray is easy enough to clean - you constantly are wiping it down after each meal, but would be with any high chair - so not sure why others complained. I don't care for the flowers - seems like a silly place to have something like that (since it just gets food on and around it). I wish there was less fabric around the head area (or none at all) because there is no real way to wash that except spot cleaning by hand). The rest is easy to wipe down but the plastic like fabric does make my son sweat (especially if he isn't wearting a shirt - although I am sure that most seats would do this). Overall, pretty happy with it.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
This chair is fine - FOR AN INFANT ONLY. I liked the 5-point harnass and the head support. Worked great when our daughter was just starting to use it.

BUT.... now that she's a toddler, she quickly figured out how to unhook the safety belt (you simply just press the button, and the entire safety belt pops right off!!). And, she can easily reach the sides of the tray to unhook it. She dumps the entire tray over and spills everything on the floor. FRUSTRATING!

I think the people who designed this really need to observe a toddler in action and go back to the drawing board. Releasing the safety harnass is way too easy for a toddler to figure out (I think my daughter figured it out when she was only 15 months old... and of course she immediately tried climbing out of the chair!) and the way the tray fastens to the chair is way too easy to unhook.

Also, this chair is very hard to clean. You can't take all of the seating off and just wash the entire thing down very easily.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
I am a Mom of twins. I bought this chair 2 1/2 years ago as other styles were too big to store easily. I love it! I wiped it down after each use and it cleaned up easily. The chair is stable, even when my kids bounced up and down. They fold up easily and are a pleasure to store. A big plus when you have more than one highchair in use. As I have twins, I kept the kids in the high chair for meals and snacks well past their first birthday as it was easier to manage them. The chairs held up well. I am now selling these to a friend who has triplets. And yes, I put them both in my van and brought them to her house for a visit. My kids happily ate lunch in their chairs at my friends house. And then so could I! : )

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
To remove the cover: (1) un-snap all of the snaps on the cover; (2)collapse the dining tray by pressing the red buttons on the side of the tray and by sliding the the supports back toward the seat(hardest part to figure out at first); and (3) pull the cover straight up. It looks like it is sewn into the sides of the tray holder, but it just slides in and out.
If you didn't figure this out on your own, you are not the only one. It took me a few minutes to see what I had to do, but once you learn, it's an easy process.

Tray cleans and wipes easily. Cover on back can be hard to clean without removal and a wash with some foods.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
This high chair is a complete nightmare to use. The cover does not wipe down easily. The outer layer of the cover is impossible to replace properly, and the underlayer isn't even washable. Food instantly cements onto the frame, and there are so many nooks & crannies to clean, I feel like I can never get the thing clean.

It's also not easy to stow & requires two hands to unfold. Not possible with a baby in one hand.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
My husband and I use the graco contempo highchair to feed our daughter and when she still wants to sit in the chair with the buckled strap on to play with some of her toys.

Things that are great about the highchair is that it's so easy to put together and assemble and it's also really great when we go out of the house and we take it with us and it's very easy to store it our vehicle. I also like having it apart of the graco contempo collection that we already have!

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
I really liked the look of this highchair because it matched the colors in my house. I now wish that I had picked out a different chair. It isn't terrible, but the polka-dots on the back of the chair are fabric and my son likes to turn around and lick it. I clean everything when he is done eating, but it is really difficult to clean the fabric. It also has a flower on each side of the tray. He licks the flowers too and gets food under them. The flowers are removable, but it is kind of a pain to remove them after each feeding.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
My daughter (14mos) had her first Oreo tonight, I was a smart mom and made her eat it in her chair. Everything within two feet was covered in black, sticky, cookie/drool slime. After her bath I returned to tackle the chair. It cleaned perfectly with a papertowel wet with hot water. Even the fabric part behind the head, which was particularly dirty. I was so impressed.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
This high chair is very easy to clean. The only drawback is once it's opened, it is very wide (the bottom). I bought 2 of these for my twins, and they take up a lot of space. Other than that, this is not a bad high chair.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
Pros:
Folds up, super easy to clean up, removable tray insert for easy clean up, cup holder, also when you remove the whole tray there is a cup holder and little area for a snack built into the frame of the highchair, love the way it looks.

Cons:
Like other reviews baby's arm can get stuck, but hasn't been a huge issue for us, and the wheels could be a lot more flexible.

Overall, we are very happy with this highchair.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
We bought this high chair because it matched our other baby gear, and while it is nice how compact it can fold, when the high chair is actually set up the bottom is VERY wide! We bought it because we have a small house, but once its up, its huge.

---

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
I would not recommend this high chair for one major reason. My daughters arms keeps getting caught in the side of the high chair where there is a space between the seat and the legs. It is also not easy to open and close.

---

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
Love it! It's cute and our baby loves sitting in it. I love that it reclines and it's easy to wash.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
I love how this high chair folds and stores anywhere! It is nice and compact and fits in our small home. Its also neutral and easy to clean. I highly recommend!

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
This high chair has been so great! Not only does it look great but it is easy to clean, easy to move around, it can be put away easily. I love that it leans back, i give my son his haircuts in this high chair, just cover it up with a towel, it works great! i would get it again!!

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
I purchased this high chair when my daughter was 4 months old. I liked that the back was adjustable because she could sit very well in it. the problem is that bewteen the seat and the legs there is a space big enough for her arm to go into, i thought that she would grow out of that, well now she is 7 months old and her arms now get stuck in that space. I like the highchair but because of the "sticking" i do not feel it is very safe, i have to make sure the whole time she is in it that she doesnt reach over and put her arm in the space. I have had to stick towels in the side to try and protect her but sometimes that doesnt work either.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
This highchair looked wonderful in the store but once we got it home we realized it didn't even come close to the high chair we had gotten 5years ago for our daughter. This high chair has cheap wheels that do Not swivel or turn therefore making it VERY difficult to manuever. The most bothersome thing is that when it is in the reclined position my son gets his arm caught in the gaps on each side and cannot get them out. Last, the buttons that you need to press to get the chair to raise and lower are located on the underside of the chair. They are difficult to get to with both hands and is awkward to move once the buttons are pushed.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
I really like the chair - cushy, good looking, good seat height, tray can be taken off with one hand. 5 point harness is a must for mobile toddlers!

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
We love this high chair. It's easy to use,very comfortable for both of us and easy to clean...we love it...using it from 4 months...

---

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
This High chair is perfect. Installation was easy and folding is easy. In addition it can fit into tiny corners. Love it! The only problem I have is that the top tray can easily be removed by my son. Other than that the color scheme is perfect and its very easy to clean. In addition I use the bottom tray as a coloring pad. So even if my son colors on the tray its very dark so you can't see the markings.

---

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
I got this High Chair mainly beause its part of the set that goes with the stroller/car seat and play pen and I love it. Its easy to clean and my son loves it which is the most important part. Cleaning it...EASY! you can use those clorox wipes and its as good as new. The wipes dont damage the material at all. Ive owed it for almost 8 months and still looks great and it was worth the price! dont be afraid to buy something because you cant put it in the washing machine, theres always away around everything.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
This high chair has been great for us. Cleans easy and stores small, the only thing that I do not like is how the harness clips. Overall we really like it!

---

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
I thought the tray was too high in this chair- my son can barely use his arms! The tray overlay is not really that useful- since the main tray sticks out at the corners (where my son loves to grab it with food-covered hands) it always gets dirty as well, so it didn't save me any cleaning time.

Of the available choices, I don't think this one is any worse, but I wish I could have found something simpler- I think all the bells and whistles (multiple heights, second tray...) were useless.

---

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
The wheels don't swivel... dumb. It takes up more room than the Chicco (which has swiveling wheels), and the chair pad doesn't stay put. The tray is also very low so even my teeny toddler needs to bend down to get the spoon in her mouth without dripping (the Chicco's tray is higher).

Oh, and I am a busy mommy with six children.

Don't waste your money on this.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
Great highchair, has many height levels as well as 3 reclining positions, folds easily for storage though we rarely fold it now that we use on a more regular basis. has a large footprint but I assume this is what makes it so sturdy. My only complaint is that the removable tray doesn't stay put when highchair is folded, I don't know if this is a problem with every chair or just the I have, plus I probably won't be using the insert much anyway.

---

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
Very slim highchair, not to mention easy to fold and store. I love the height adjustment feature, big plus for me. If you don't have alot of room to store things this is the highchair that you want.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
For feeding.. I love the idea of the multiple reclining, and also lowering the seat. Harness to keep baby safe in high chair. Also extra cushion for babies head...

This chair is great, it can be low or high. Which has been handy when we have in living room or kitchen. There are 3 trays - awesome! It also looks nice.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
Don't have much experience with this as my son is only two months old, but he already loves this highchair! I love that it comes with the infant headrest. So easy to use, folds up fairly flat, and cleans really well.

---

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
We use this highchair on a daily basis. We use it to feed our baby as well as to keep her entertained while we're eating. The only tricky thing for us has been securing the tray to the chair. It takes a little finesse but once you get it it's easy. Bottom line, we've been so happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone who asked our opinion!

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
Originally I was going to keep my wood graco high chair. Then I started to think about the functionality of the chair. I am returning it. Today I got my Contempo high chair in the mail. I am so happy with it. The only thing that "bothers" me is that the foot rest seems like it is in such an odd place! I wish it adjusted. The fact that it was ready when I pulled it out of the box was amazing. My husband was really happy that he didn't have another item to put together. This high chair is so sturdy. Love the reclining and tray options. The seat looks like it is going to be easy to clean. The deco design spot is made of a "velvet" material. I think that I might scotch guard it. You need to buy this high chair!

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
I like this chair for the most part, and didn't start having a problem until recently. The removable tray is nice to have, but we sure could do without the cup holder. My 11 month old son has just learned that if he holds onto the molded cup holder, he can pull off the removable tray and throw it on the floor. Then i am making him more food because all of his food is on the floor. If the removable tray was completely flat, he would have nothing to grab onto and this wouldn't be happening. So if you get this chair, just be prepared!

Received this as a gift off of my Registry. We picked it out, but did not really look at it at the store. I was amazed when I finally took it out of the box! It came out of the box completely assembled, and folds up so small, which is a must in my TINY house! LOVE this product, so glad I picked it! Also, it has a 5 point harness so even the littlest babies can fit. And the seat lowers to be at eye level, even when sitting on the couch!

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
Was looking for a light-weight and stable highchair for my very active and rambunctious son... this has fit the bill. It is easy to clean and light weight to move around. The only thing I have to watch is when I slide the trey in, I have to make sure my son dosen't have his arm hanging over the edge... definetly not a big deal.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
This chai is GREAT! It required almost no assembly, folds up easily, and is light to maneuver. My son loves it!

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
We did a lot of research on highchairs before deciding to get a Graco. We got the Deco because it matched our other stuff and was very gender-neutral in pattern.

The highchair was easy to assemble (did on my own) and also use. We love that it raises and lowers easily making it easy to bring our daughter down on our level for feedings! The highchair is also very easy to clean. I love the recline feature too for the back of the seat. It made it easy for us to begin using around 3 1/2 months when she started on cereal. The rollers make the highchair easy to move around too. There is nothing we don't love about this highchair. We know other brands out there kids seem to run out of room pretty fast on them, but not this one! We love it and are 100% satisfied with our purchase!!!

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
I like most of the features. How the chair can changes positions, go higher or lower, close for space and it cleans very nice.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
I put my son in this highchair at 2 months old since he was able to hold up his head and sit up w/o falling over, so he really hasn't used it to eat yet. I put him in it when I cook mostly. It reclines in 2 positions plus the upright one which has been good for when he dozes off and I am still occupied. I pretty much just pulled it out of the box and used it. It is great if you a lacking space. Plus since it has wheels you can wheel it around the house which is what I do when I am cleaning and don't want to move him to other seats.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
We did a lot of searching around to find a good high chair and this we thought was going to be the one. But when we actually went to the store to check it out, we found different. Now it looks really nice and the fabric feels soft. But as for what we did not like about it....
It was pretty wobbly. Where you fold down the tray kinda poked from underneath the fabric and there was not very much padding to the cover. It was pretty bulky and heavy. Yes it did come out of the package assembled and folded small but when open it was bulky. Last, the tray is the type that has the two pieces on either side that pull up when you push the front part that makes it "one-hand" removable. This design makes it very easy for a little older baby to take off the tray by themselves. It is very simple for them to do because it takes very little pressure. For some that may be fine.. not for us.
I really love Graco, they are my first choice brand in baby gear.. Almost all of our stuff is Graco brand but for the high chair, we ended up going with the Chicco Polly High chair.

We received this highchair off our registry from my work. We have been storing it until needed, and that time has come. We pulled it out a few weeks ago and it is so nice! We started just by putting our son in it while we eat. I have used it a handful of times to feed him in. The tray is easy to put on and get off one handed. The ability to fold it up is also great! We have limited space and needed a chair that we could truly put away when we are not using it, but be good quality when it was out and being used.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
We got the chair from a dear friend for our 4.5 months old girl. Chair is fully assembled, just take it out of the box, no hassle. Very slim to store. We do not store it. It's always open and ready to use. Every morning I put the baby in the chair and she enjoys playing in it for good 30 minutes while I'm making breakfast or pumping. the chair is lightly padded, very comfy. the material is easy to clean. the small non-removable tray is just the right distance from the baby, gives enough room to wiggle and put her feet up on it to rest. extremely sturdy chair, you don't have to worry about it getting knocked over. it's excellent for the baby to start developing her back strength and sit up straight or recline to rest. the removable tray is very spacious. I am very pleased with the product and definitely will recommend it to anyone. I am also very pleased with reclining adjustments for the chair. My baby girl loves it.

I brought this product for my son and his wife for their child. They love it. They live a small apartment in New York City and they really like the ablility to collapse this high chair and store when not in use. In addition they like they large tray.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
This is an awesome chair and I would recommend it to anyone. My daughter and I gave it two thumbs up for coming totally assembled. The color is perfect and the structure is sturdy. My grandson loves it! Couldn't ask for a better product.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
I bought this chair for my daughter last November. I loved that I could just take it right out of the box and use it (little setup required). My daughter is quite comfortable in it and I appreciate how easy it is to clean the seat and tray. It would be nice if it had an toy attachment, but that has not been a big deal for us. We liked it so much we purchased one as a gift for our niece. My sister-in-law has been quite happy with her's as well.

Comments about Graco Contempo High Chair Deco:
We're huge Chicco fans and were originally going to go with that one until we read all the reviews about difficult it is to clean the groove that runs on the tray against the belly.

Graco's doesn't have that, so we went with this one. While we used the straps originally (we have a kid who likes to turn everywhere) they're kind of a pain in the butt, so stopped using them. That keeps me from making this a 5 star item. I dont know if all high chairs are like this..I know some are worse . .but I'm not a fan of the strap system when dealing with a wiggly kid.

But if you don't use the straps, it's a great chair. The tray is easy to put on and off, never had to worry about hands. Easy to clean. ...although I'm waiting for something to get caught in the round flower like edges that our son puts his hands all over near his edge of the tray. That's one thing I would have made flat instead of decorative- but it hasn't been an issue at all!

It's also a fantastic looking chair, super easy to clean and while we don't close it up - it folds up super slim, which was important before our recent move. I even unfolded and folded it up once with baby in arms! It rolls sooo easy to wherever you need it, without scratching up hardwood either!

I'd definitely reccomend this chair!

Great highchair. Folds away nicely and cleans easily. Easy to use and our baby seems to love it too.
