Advantages: affordable, good net bag, 5 point harness

Disadvantages: seat too low,head sweats due to plastic seat

I recently purchased the Mothercare Teddybear highchair to have as a spare one at my parents house. We have a Chicco Polly 70 highchair in our house so it is easy to compaire them. I found the Mothercare highchair design neutral and very cute however my son struggles to reach the tray to play with his toys - 8 months at the moment - whereas he easily reaches in the Chicco highchair. Also we have resorted to placing a towel over the back of the seat as it seems to make the back of his head all clamy in the hot weather due to the plastic surface. I can imagine it will become quite stained as the straps are already tinged although it has only been used for 2 months. The net bad however is very sturdy and is much easier to access than the Chicco chair. I would recommed as a second chair at a grandparents for example but not as an everyday chair as it just doesnt match the comfort of the Chicco.

Summary: overall a good chair to have at grandparents but not as main one everyday
