Baby Products Reviews of Hippo Hookon High Chair - Nature
Customer Review: Useless!
Summary: 1 Stars
I attempted to use this seat on 4 different tables and it only successfully hooked onto one of them -- ironically the one in my home!!!
Two of the tables I tried were dining room tables that had a wooden piece running underneath the length of the table for insertion of table leaves. This interfered with the seat's attachment and the seat could not be used.
The third table we tried was a booth at a pizza place. The seat was able to attach at the end of the table, however once in place the adult diners were not able to sit down because the seat's attachment rods did not allow enough room between the booth seat and the table for an adult leg to slide through and sit down. Even if the adult slid in first the attachment rods interferred with the adult's leg room. Again the seat could not be used.
Also beware that this seat will not hook onto tables with at tablecloth. It doesn't tell you this on the box so I didn't find out until I read the enclosed booklet.
Needless to say I am returning this ASAP!
Customer Review: a moms dream come true
Summary: 5 Stars
this product is the best thing i have ever bought for my daughter she is 11 months old. my daughter is very small for her age and has always had troubles fitting in restraunt provided high chairs. i am also a HUGE GERM-A-PHOBE and i hate always having to clean and disinfect a highchair before putting my daughter in one. my final straw came when she was in a highchair at the end of our booth and a server put a hot pot of coffee right over her head. i started just putting her in my lap which is not a fun way to eat. then my dreams came true. i found this seat while searching for a highchair for my in-laws house. the seat is so amazing she fits in it so well and has plenty of room to grow. i never have to worry about germs because she is the only child who uses it and the seat can be thrown in the washing machine. one of the greatest things is the seat fits in the booth so no more hot items being served over her. and an added bonus is it folds up into its own carrying case smaller than my diaper bag. this item is worth ten times its price.Customer Review: The BEST Highchair ever
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using the Hippo Hook On Chair for over a year now and I love it! Whenever people come over to our house they always comment on how great it is. We originally had a conventional highchair which was great. However it took up so much room. This highchair lets our son be right at the table with us which he loves. I also love the Hippo style because it has more cushion than the cheaper Chicco chair. It's worth spending the extra money on the Hippo model. My only complaint about this chair: IT IS HARD TO CLEAN! The first time I had to take the material off the bars it was so frustrating. And same thing to get the fabric back on after! However, I do have to say that it has gotten much easier to remove the fabric after time. I don't know if it's because we got use to it or because it stretched a little. Overall, I do not regret getting this chair and would recommend it to everyone. And believe me I am extremely picky. Because of the "cleaning" issues I give this product 4 1/2 stars vs. 5.Customer Review: Handy in awkward situations

This item was designed to be used in locations other that your own kitchen/home. So the portablility of the seat should be a concern. In this regard it is not optimal. To collapse the chair, you need to push in little chrome nubs. Not the most ergonomic thing for your fingers -- even for a guitar player/ninja. Also the "nubs" are somewhere beneath the fabric of the seat -- and I always forget where. How about an "X marks the spot" Chicco!
When I do manage to collapse the chair it is still about as cumbersome as carrying a tote bag (in addition to the numerous other things you will be carrying, no doubt).
Once the chair is in use though, it is GREAT. I don't worry about finding a sanitary highchair. Also if you dine at a booth, the baby doesn't have to be in an aisle. In short, it is usable in various seating arrangements. It seems comforable for baby so I imagine it extends the amount of time you have before meltdowns.
Also fyi, people always ask where you got it.
Customer Review: Best High Chair EVER!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I absolutely love this product!!
We had a Graco that had the cushion fall apart within the first month of use, and it was such a pain to clean!
My wife stumbled across this one at the store and was skeptical at first but decided to risk it.
My 9 month old loves it. She is now at the table with us and can join in. While she has been able to climb out of her swing, bouncer chair and nearly anything else she cannot figure out how to get out of this, which I am grateful for.
I like that the design is rather plain. It stays on our table at all times and it blends in rather well.
We have yet to find a table it doesn't work with.
It is super easy to clean and way sturdier than I imagined. My wife is 107 pounds and sat in it to ensure that my daughter would be well supported.
The design is amazing and we am grateful to have it!
