Maxi-Cosi Moa 8-in-1 High Chair

Maxi-Cosi gave our 20-month-old, M, the opportunity to try out their Moa 8-in-1 High Chair, and he put it through rigorous testing as only a toddler can. The directions were straightforward, it was easy to put together with no tools required, and ready to go in less than 10 minutes. The multi-tonal grey with light wood accents looks great in our modern kitchen. We initially tried it out as a traditional highchair and found the sizing well-suited for a toddler, although with the cushioning and high sides I suspect it would be fine for a younger child as well. M didn't mind the straps and they held him securely. We've been using the Cybex Lemo Chair, and one of the drawbacks is that section cup plates and bowls don't stick to the tray well, but they stuck to this tray perfectly (much to M and his dog's dismay). It was also nice to have a tray that could be easily removed with one hand to get him in strapped, unstrapped and back and out, and to pull him up to the table. The tray, seat and straps saw their fair share of fruits, veggies, hummus, etc. over our week of testing and stood up to it all. The straps could use a run through the wash, but the seat and tray come clean easily with just a wipe down. M eats most meals in his high chair in the kitchen, but when we have company we move into the dining room. Typically we'll drag his whole chair in there, but the Moa provided us the option of popping off the seat so we could use it as a booster on one of our dining chairs and have him right at the table with everyone else. The seat was simple to detach and secure to an adult chair, and it was helpful to have the option of booster legs vs. no legs to ensure we got him situated just right. M is still a bit young to try the Moa out as a stool or a desk and chair set, but we love that those options are available. We try to purchase items for our household with as much longevity as possible, and this 8-in-1 definitely fits the bill!

This is the first highchair that is not only stylish but also utilitarian. Babies grow so fast and buying different units is eliminated with this 8-in-1 device. I got compliments on the modern, Scandinavian design of the device. Also, I feel safe putting my son in this chair. The strap is safe and sturdy.
