Submitted By: Julie Tucker   Date: 05/25/2007 We bought the Svan chair when we first introduced our son to solids, at 5 months of age. We originally were going to go with the Stokke Tripp Trapp chair, but found that the harness couldn't support our son. We found the Svan chair to have a better harness than the Tripp Trapp chair. Although the Svan company says not to put a child in the chair who can't support him/herself, our son is able to sit in this chair with ease (and loves it). But to be safe, we never leave our son in the ciar unttended.
Also, after borrowing a friend's high chair, we found the removeable tray to come in quite handy. I can put my son in the chair and give him some toys to play with while I make dinner. My son happily keeps me company in the kitchen.
The plastic tray cover that comes with the chair is wonderful! It is such a breeze to keep clean.
And lastly, we bought the padding for the Svan chair. It's machine washable and dryable, which is key when you have a baby. Plus, the cushions give your baby's tush some traction, so that he/she can sit up. We found the slick wood to be a bit slippery. Our son kept slouching without the cushion.
