"Versatile and practical product"
We bought this when our son was just 4 months old and we're still using it without the cover on now. For us to be able to eat at all he had to be involved, so to put him at the table with us was the best solution. With limited space we easily popped this onto one of our existing dining chairs. It went everywhere we went as it enabled him to be at a similar height to us and therefore much happier. The tray got used whenever we were out, at resterants, friends parties and especially grandparents. It felt very safe and secure right up to the time when he became an escape artist, then we had to use a set of reins clipped on as this chair only has a three point harness. We never bothered to buy a highchair as this did exactly what we needed and when not required in the evening unclipped easily and folded away. The seat cover is not wipe clean so we could have done with a spare. But the seat cover goes through the wash easily and comes up beautifully and dries surprisingly quickly. Overall a slick bit of fabulously designed kit.

"Fab for out and about"
Isabella really enjoyed being in this chair and I've found it so handy.
The chair is very comfy and well padded. The covers remove and wash easily. The harness would be better if it was a 5 point one but was sufficent.
It is really secure when strapped to any dining chair although the adjusters are quite fiddly to adjust.
Isabella was sat at just the right height for the table in this. I didn't like the tray as I found it flimsy and not big enough. Handy to have though.
The travel bag makes it easy to carry over your shoulder or hung over the pushchair. It's strong and wellmade so could see this lasting well.
I wouldn't have this in place of a 'real' highchair although in the booster/travel category this is by far the best I've seen/tried.
I got loads of postive comments from other mums using this out and about.
The only improvements I could suggest would be a 5 point harness and different adjusters on the straps that go round the chair.

"Sleek and Smart"
This is a very expensive and sleek looking chair! All my friends loved the look of it and people have asked me whilst using it out where I got it from. I thought the best way to review is to list the postives and negatives myself and my friends who also tried it found.
First the postives!
+ It looks fantastic! Far better than the plastic multicoloured ones or cloth ones.
+ It folds down really compact.
+ It comes with a fab bag to hold it in and carry.
+ The frame is robust and if attached to the chair proparly, is very safe.
+ Comes with a tray yu can have on or off so an older child could sit at a table and a younger could use the tray.
+ With the tray on, it offers support to babies who are still a bit wobbly!
+ It is very wipeable and easy to take apart to clean.
+ It has a cup holder in the tray, so it helps when babies are swipping, the bottle/cup doesn't go flying!
Now the negative:
- It can be expensive if just used as a travel chair.
- You MUST put this on probarly to a big chair. My friend thought it would be okay to use as a chair on the floor (?!), but of course her wee one swang back in it and baged his head!
- The tray is quite flimsey at the front, couldn't put any weight on it etc.
- None of the kiddies 18 months plus could sit comfortably in the chair, so it's only really use for 6 months to 18 months.
- The harness is only 3 point, ie on the lap, so babies that are standing could try and escape!
All in all, this chair is a fantastic product if you eat out a lot or need a very portable highchair. It has been fab for us with the twins as family and friends often only have 1 highchair, so we keep the chair in the car so we always have another to hand! Although at the moment we are staying at my parents whilst we renovate our house, so it is up in the dining room as mum has another highchair for Esme. Archie is very happy in it and it does make it feel he is sat at the table other than Esme who has to go in the corner in her big highchair (bless her!).
So, I would pay that little bit extra if you need a portable chair, booster seat and buy this instead of a cheap plastic/cloth one.

To continue on my voyage of discovery through Ford’s newest range I was to spend some time with the latest Kuga Titanium in its 2.0-litre diesel guise.
