Baby Products Reviews of The First Years Swing Tray - Portable Booster Seat Blue & Aqua
Customer Review: Love this seat!
Summary: 5 Stars
We love this seat. Our son is almost 10 months old and we have been using it since he was 4 months old!! I was going to go buy a highchair when we needed one- but we never needed one!! I love this chair. You can adjust the height as he grows; the whole thing goes in the dishwasher; the swing out tray is wonderful. He is very safe and secure when buckled in. We have never had a problem with him kicking off the tray and he's a very active baby. I would highly recommend this seat- especially if you do not have a very big kitchen and a highchair would be so cumbersome. Just make sure it is securely attached to your kitchen chair!!Customer Review: OK for smaller children maybe

We bought this booster when my son was 18 months old as he loved to sit like his parents. However, he is a very large boy (35" and 34 lbs) and the tray could not fit over his legs comfortably. So we took off the tray so he could sit at the table, and he uses the holes where the tray attaches to stick food. We went back to the high chair without the tray - and he is perfectly happy. We use this seat when visiting relatives which is nice it is so portable, but then spend time afterwards cleaning up the food underneath the seat where he stuck the food.Customer Review: Adequately designed - room for improvement
Summary: 4 Stars
The basic idea is great and the ease of assembly is nice - no tools needed. We have used it with all the grandchildren (6) and one nephew.
I think it needs some design improvements:
(1) the straps which are used to hold it to a chair would be better if there were a strap which went from front to back, not just around the back of the seat. One of the grandkids seems unable to sit still and I keep expecting him to tip over the chair because it tends to slide sideways in the front.
(2) the tray is designed for a slim child. On one side, the tray fits a finger like protusion into a hole. On the other side, there are 2 places to attach the tray in slots. Only when the tray is in the innermost position, is it aligned directly in front of the child and there isn't a great deal of tummy room. If you move the tray to the outer position (available on one side only), the tray is cocked at an angle and it still probably wouldn't accomodate a child with a larger stomach.
(3) the belts to hold the child need to be longer.
Fortunately for us, all the grandkids and nephew are slim. At least so far.Customer Review: Great chair!
Summary: 4 Stars
Assuming you are not expecting some type of miracle chair that makes your child sit still and behave, this chair will do what it is meant to do. My daughter has been using it for a year, from 12 months to 2 years, and she still loves it. It folds neatly, travels light, straps on securely and cleans up like a dream. When the straps get stained it goes in the diswasher and comes out sparkling. My daughter has never kicked off the tray or seemed unsafe in any way during a year of use. Naturally, she's buckled in, and we never leave her unattended. The tray takes a little getting used to to be sure it is securely attached, but reading the instructions tends to solve this problem, I think... just banging around without taking a moment to figure out the mechanics of the tray could be frustrating but would also just be silly. Washable crayons wipe right off the white tray, so my daughter creates new artwork every day while (thanksfully!) staying put. It is our only high chair and I have had no problems with it... love the swingout design. For the price, a fantastic product. I would definately purchase it again, and I recommend it to all my friends looking for a simple, easy to use, safe portable booster feeding chair.Customer Review: Grows with Child
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a MUST HAVE! I bought this when my girl was about 8 months old for travel/visits to friends house. She is now 2 years old and we use it everyday for meals. There are adjustments for height that allow it to grow with the child. I read reviews about kicking the tray off and it just hasn't happened with ours. Once it clicks into place, it stays put. The safety buckle definitely makes it secure. My girl now enjoys buckling herself in it. We always bring it to grandma's and it even packs in a suitcase for trips. Nice for drawing/art projects as well. It wipes down easy. Even spagetti sauce magically disappears. Probably one of the best most useful baby purchases we have made.
