anyone have the fisher price ocean wonders high chair?

Dochas · February 2011

I'm shocked that we're almost ready to start solids, but I'll cry about that later. lol We liked this chair a while back and still do. Just wondering if anyone has any experience. I wany one that reclines and this one does, but I don't know how well the positions work. I don't usually like loud/zany for the dining room but for some reason I like this one. He has the bouncy seat too.

I know many love the space saver seats but we're NOT getting that. Thanks!

I have one at my moms house. I never used the recline feature (although I looked for one with it) but he was sitting up pretty well so went with the full upright position from the start.

I may be used to the one I have at my house (gracco) but I find the one from FP to be hard to unfold and fold and it kind of seems like it leans forward more then it should (again I am comparing the 2 I use regularly)

DS can take off the top tray, on both high chairs, so that thing is useless.

I have the chicco Polly and love, love it. It's easy to fold store away, wipe down, and looks great.. It matches my pack and play and isn't super tacky looking. It also does a great job holding my smallish baby. I have been thrilled w all my Chicco products they really hold up well (we have car seat, pnp and high chair)...Jake does have the FP rainforest bouncy chair that he lived in as a newborn.

Thanks! The leaning forward thing might be a problem. He's kind of small and not sitting up well so I think we need the recline to help him lean back. What kind of Graco do you have? I like Graco but with with ones I looked at it seemed like it would be hard to get him in and out. It was before we had him though, so I knew even less about babies and their gear then!

A lot of people seem to like that one and Daniel is on the small side too. Does his head fall forward in it? I'm thinking of the recline because someone said the high chair they have is annoying because the baby's head tops forward.

The fisher price is definitely on the tacky side. lol. But I don't know, I like it.

Good to know. I sound so anti-space saving. lol We have room at the table and need another chair more than we need space. Some things we've just gone "old school" with - chaging tables seem to be out of favor but we love having one.

We have one and I love it except for the toys that hook on the sides. After the first feeding in the new high chair, I took them off because they get coated with food. Its nasty. Beau puts his hands in this mouth, then they get covered with food, then he grabs the toys. Also, they are distracting when I'm trying to get him to eat.

I have the Contemporary from Gracco, not hard to get him in, but he is always looking forward to eating so doesn't put up much of a fight. The built in snack tray actually helps me keep him still now while I buckle him in.

My MIL has this one at her house. It works fine, but is HUGE and takes up a lot of space. We went with the FP Space Saver and I'm so glad we did.

Jake has good neck control, so he doesn't fall foward at all! He can sit up just fine in the chair (Can't sit up on his own on the floor). We do tilt it back sometimes to help him "learn" how to hold his own bottle.

Again, I love this chiar..I got the vinal version the cloth one seemed like it would be hard to clean to me. I really love this chair!

I have 2 of these It's the Graco Contempo like one of the PP has mentioned. It reclines and has straps that can adjust. I like the material color b/c it looks good in my dining room, its easy to wipe clean, and if you want to put it away, it folds easily.
