The verdict
The Polly hits the sweet spot between the barebones IKEA seat and pricey convertibles: you get a multi-position recline for younger babies, seven height settings, wheels to roll it around, and a fold-flat frame for storage. The removable, dishwasher-safe tray insert pops off one-handed, which you'll appreciate with a wiggly baby on your hip. The seat pad has some seams and folds that trap food, and the chair is fairly wide when open, so skip it if counter space is precious. For most kitchens, it's a lot of chair for the money.
What we love
- ✓Multiple recline positions work for younger babies before they sit up
- ✓One-hand removable, dishwasher-safe tray insert
- ✓Seven height positions plus wheels for easy repositioning
- ✓Folds relatively compact and stands on its own
Keep in mind
- –Padded seat has seams and folds that trap crumbs
- –Fairly wide footprint when open
