I love that this is a 3 in 1 and that it doesn’t break the bank like a lot of high chairs on the market. It’s a good size and is also aesthetically pleasing for the price. 10/10!

I really like how this isn’t liquid but is gel instead. Both my kids gagged on the liquid and this is perfect and way more practical when using with tiny babies.
