Baby Products Reviews of Chicco 360 Degree Rotating Hook On Chair, MiroCustomer Review: Worst. Hook-On. Booster. EVER. Summary: 1 Stars
We received this the Chicco 360 as a(n un-asked for) gift once our youngest turned a year and our trusty and easy Graco (after surviving 3 other children plus friends' kids) finally gave up. The ONLY thing good I have to say about it is that thank goodness it was a gift. If I had actually dropped cash I'd busted my butt to earn on this thing, flames would be coming out of my ears and Chicco would be dealing with my incessant complaining until they returned my funds.
I'm still tempted to insist Chicco return the money, if only so that I can return it to my well-meaning wonderful mom-in-law.
The 360 feature is useless. We've never bothered to use it. The only thing it serves to do, IMO, is add yet another skinny crevice for food and liquids and other who-knows-what gunk to hide. In fact, I think the only time we bothered to "swivel" it was in the hopes of releasing some of the crud in that seam during the horrendous cleaning effort.
Which leads me to the cleaning effort.
What. A. Pain. In. The. Donkey.
I'd use other language, but it isn't permitted. (Thus I am the one writing the review and not my husband. He cusses like a sailor each and every time he struggles with releasing the multiple hooks (strategically placed to pinch your fingers every time) to release the NASTY encrusted fabric from the hoop. There is no true "wiping down" after meals with this chair. We've attempted just that because it simply isn't feasible to completely undo the chair each time one's kid eats and through the icky mess into the washer. The bright side: You don't (necessarily) have to unhook it from the table to remove the cloth (CLOTH!!!) seat. Of course, if you want to get ANY of the disgusting gunk that naturally fell between the crack of the tray (which *is* dishwasherable, big whoop) and the plastic rim of the chair and of course the blech from under the arms where they clamp to the table surface. Oh, yeah, and under the rim that also rests on top of the table. Unbelievable really, how many seams this chair has for crud collecting.
The seat itself washes fabulous. Good ol' Oxiclean. Miracle worker.
Then, of course, you have to reinsert the vinyl-covered pad into the fabric for the seat and struggle with re-hooking the seat to the hoop.
I. Hate. This. Chair.
Let me say that again: I. HATE. This. Chair.
My husband loathes it too.
We haven't replaced it because we keep thinking of how expensive it was, but I am so over being reminded how much I hate this chair every time my son eats (after a year) that I think I can let go of the guilt. So I'm back shopping on Amazon for a replacement. Give it to our daycare or something.
Oh, there are straps too. One up the legs and 2 that wrap around baby and clip to the waist strap. Not very impressed with it for keeping baby contained, but whatever. It'll do. Of course, they get super disgusting too.
Wish they still had that fantastic Graco available. (Graco Travel Lite Table Chair - We had it in the navy.) Now that was a fantastic chair for older babies. Literally wipe clean, fold flat, with minimal crusties around the arm clamps.
Perhaps the regular Chicco chair is better. Haven't tried it. But I say run screaming in the opposite direction from this 360 version.
