Chicco Polly Highchair Review


This was a requested post and I also had decided to start doing lots of reviews because when I am looking to buy new things for Mia I often find myself hunting for independent reviews. 

We bought this highchair after seeing it at The Baby Show. The thing that first attracted me was the seat because it looked so comfortable and I liked the patterns available in the range.

This highchair retails at around £100 but if you wait for deals like we did you can pick it up for less. We paid £70 for ours and I had always expected to spend around £100 so we were happy with the price.

The highchair itself comes with removable seat covers which are plastic material and really easy to just wipe clean. You can remove the top cover as baby grows to make more room within the chair. It also has 7 seat height adjusters so you can use it as a low chair or attach it to your table. The tray has a top plastic cover which you can also easily remove to clean in the sink. The tray itself can be moved towards and away from baby and can be removed completely. The foot rest has different height settings which was perfect for us as Mia is quite small she needs to have it on the highest setting and lots of highchairs don't come with that function. You can also lean the seat back if you like to 3 different positions. It also has a very secure harness which goes over the babies shoulders, around the waist and between the legs. I feel Mia is very safe in the highchair leaving me free to do what I need to do in the kitchen.

It has a small basket at the back which you can keep bibs and sippy cups inside. At the moment we keep the tray that hooks onto the side of the chair legs as it keeps getting knocked off with it being in a small kitchen. The tray that attaches to the side is really good as you can put your drink or babies sippy cup on there safely while you're feeding baby. It also has wheels so you can easily move it around.

The imagine below shows the chair set up with the tray attached and seat upright.


This picture shows the highchair folded down. You can see we have the legs in two halves - one attached to the seat and the second part of the legs has been removed from the main frame and is standing up against the chair. This makes the chair really good for storage.


For our use this highchair is perfect. It folds away small enough and when it's fully assembled it doesn't take up masses of room. What I would comment on though is even though it is not big for a highchair when its assembled it can be a little bulky if you are using it in a small kitchen area. 

So far I have found it easy to clean, easy to feed Mia and she seems to love being in there.
