What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—fit for larger babies—directly echoes video reviewers' concern about the chair's limited weight and height capacity for above-average-percentile infants.
In their words
“Thank goddess LALO exists! This high chair was my first purchase of the brand and we absolutely LOVE it, is safe, comfortable and easy to clean. Not to mention it looks SO GOOD - I love the green. We use it EVERYDAY for the past idk, 7 months now. So high quality!”
Beatriz · verified purchase · Crate and Barrel
“I absolutely loathe this chair. The feet stick out so I’m always tripping over it. It says it’s easy to clean but there are many crevices that the food catches in and underneath the tray. I’m not sure if I got the version before the silicone straps were available because the chair I purchased has cloth straps that do not come off and are brown and stained.”
