The 2 Best Fisher Price High Chairs on the Market!

Fisher Price Space Saver High Chair
The Space-Saver High Chair is designed to provide a full-size feeding experience for a small-size home. It has all of the features of a full-size high chair without taking up the space. Simply strap it to any standard kitchen or dining room chair and adjust it to meet your baby’s needs. It has 3 height adjustments, a 3-position recline, plus a full-size one-hand removable dishwasher-safe tray. The full-size pad is machine washable and has a 3-point restraint for additional security. When your baby is older, simply remove the pad and back to make the chair a toddler booster seat. This chair’s efficient size makes it easy to store when not in use.

The chair was exactly what we were looking for. Our dining area is fairly small so using our existing dining chair does save space. The booster chair feels secure as it secures both behind and under the dining chair with buckle straps. It also has non-skid rubber feet on the bottom of all four corners. The 3-point to 5-point harness is helpful for keeping the baby in place. We were using one of those cheapy plastic block booster chairs and our 7-month old kept slouching underneath the tray. The contoured seat in the Space Saver High Chair helps to prevent that.
The adjustable height was useful for raising the tray to just above our table level so we could slide the whole chair underneath when not in use. I’m not sure when we’d recline the seat, but I guess it’s a nice option to have.
The chair reminds me of a car seat, and as such, keeps our baby in place while feeding. The one-handed release of the tray and the highly adjustable settings are convenient options. I don’t think I could ask for anything more out of a booster chair. Perhaps a built-in iPod adapter with speakers built into the tray or something. Just kidding 
The model I purchased is the J5933, but there is another model, L1907. According to a couple of customers who researched them, the differences are basically color. Kudos to them for researching them and clearing that up.

After 7 kids in a sturdy Perego high chair (which I replaced the seat pad once & found a whole chair replacement another time on ebay), I was disapointed it would need to be replaced again for my 8th child. Since they no longer make the pads and I was not happy with the new style – or spending $200. I came here first to see what other options were out there.
Anyway – the first alternative I saw was this cute Rainforest chair! I was sold right away from the picture, the price, and the reviews! I quickly checked out some other chairs – but, nothing else came close. The Perego we had was sturdy, basic looking, white & chrome.
This time around we are going for cheap and fun! It is definitly more light weight – but it actually seems ok – sturdy enough! The seat could use some more padding – I’m going to take the extra little pillow rest from the car seat and stick it under the seat and that should work. We do not have the tray problem that others have mentioned – it is snug and secure. One reason, though, I did not give 5 stars is that there is no place to hang the tray when the toy is in use! Really irritating. What is funny, though, is that you can hang the toy on the back of the chair – the whole thing sticks out horizontally . . . Everyone loves helping in the entertainment department with the toy. The harness was a great idea! Our previous chair did not recline so we are looking forward to this feature . . . In my opinion wheels are essential – 16 years ago Perego was about the only one with this feature – they really come in handy.
As far as clean-up goes all looks well except the piping – why did they have to use fabric? And looks – well it’s very attractive, but – even my husband frowned at the beige instead of white. So, these two little things in addition to the lack of a tray hanger got it only 4 stars.
Overall – this is my favorite new baby thing! Now – I think we’ll also try the jumperoo!
7/20/09: UPDATE: Now that we have been using this highchair for a few months I have found that the self-locking wheels are driving me crazy! No one ever goes to the trouble to actually lock them – but, several times a day I find myself fighting the chair across the kitchen floor only to inspect each wheel and then unlock which ever ones have locked themselves, AND we did get the Jumperoo which the baby enjoys – especially now that she is a little older.
