Graco Duo Diner Highchair Review


Today, Graco continues its tradition of innovation, with products like the imonitor™ Digital Baby Monitor and the compact folding Contempo™ Highchair. In 1998, Graco proudly acquired Century Car Seats, combining two of the most respected brand names in baby products, and leading to innovative products like the TurboBooster® SafeSeat™ (Step 3) youth booster car seat. Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid™ company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, the dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products—products that inspire parents and babies alike—remains, and continues on.
Graco is a top trusted brand that is known in almost every household. They have products for all your baby needs!



Duo Diner High Chair


Our Thoughts

I usually leave everything up to my husband to put together, but I gave this high chair a go myself, and it took me 15-20 minutes to put together. It was very easy, did require looking at the pictures, but not really reading any instructions in the booklet. Also, and best of all, it didn't require any tools for me to put it together!

Behind the high chair there is a little pouch in back for toy storage. Technically it's not for storage, it is so that you can lean the top part back to recline a bit. Not sure why that would be a good idea with food though so I keep it upright and store little toys behind him. This is incredibly convenient, and probably my favorite feature.

There are two trays for easy cleanup. The top one (as you can see in the pictures) is separated into three sections with a drink holder. This easily pops off so that you can wash it down. The underneath is also the same, smooth plastic for easy cleanup.

As for the style, it really reminds me of something futuristic and there are a lot of straps to make sure your baby isn't going anywhere. Looks kind of funny, but at least they're safe! The high chair is heavy, and a bit bulky but it does fold up easily. It also glides over the floor so well, which is convenient for moving it around to clean, but be careful with your littles trying to move it around or crawl around and push on it.

The fabric is also that plastic stuff so you can wash it down too with a washrag of soap and water if it gets all icky. All in all, this thing is going to make my life easy.



As you can see in the picture below, my son's feet barely touch the foot rest and he is considered tall for his age at six months old. Clearly there is plenty of room for him to grow and utilize this high chair for the next few years even if he continues to be on the tall end of the scale. The foot rest is easy to pop in and out for us adults, but not so that the kids can kick it out of place or be dangerous.

Graco Argos 80 Elite--Review



 The Argos™ 80 Elite Car Seat (Available at Babies “R” Us, buybuy Baby, and specialty stores) is an advanced 3-in-1 car seat, featuring the Simply Safe Adjust™ Harness System, will keep your child harnessed for up to 80 lbs. and coverts to a booster seat up to 120 lbs. for years of use.

The world of baby gear has changed drastically over the last few years.  Parents want convenience, functionality and economically priced products that will last. That's where Graco comes in.
Graco had been around for decades and they manage to evolved and stay with the times seamlessly.  When my oldest was born most everything we had was Graco. The catch was none years ago the industry was just exploring the newest and best.  

From convertible car seats that allow extended rear facing and forward facing to the Graco Argos 80 that is a three in one forward facing booster parents have more options to fit their needs.

The Argos 80 is by far my favorite forward facing seat.  It only requires one step for set up, simply snap the back into place,  and it's ready for installation. Using the seat belt or Latch system you can easily and quickly have this in and ready in just about ten minutes. You can adjust the built in harness more efficiently thanks to the button betting on the top of the seat.  A push of the red button and all that's left is to pull up on the back to raise the shoulder straps.

The five point harness is easily adjustable and holds children safely from twenty to eighty pounds,  twenty-seven to fifty-two inches tall,  and at least one year of age. When using the vehicle seat belt child misery be thirty to one hundred pounds, thirty-eight to fifty-seven inches tall and between the ages of three to ten. The last way to use this particular model is by removing the back.  Being just a booster seat your child can use this up to one hundred and twenty pounds,  fifty-seven inches tall and ages four to ten. 


The removal of the built in harness and back are easy.  The instructions are clear and simple to follow. Please remember when using any car seat to have it installed properly and to follow all requirements. 

The downside to the seat is that it's heavier than I anticipated. This isn't a deal breaker,  just cumbersome. The only other thing I noticed is that to get a child in and out is a chore if said child wants to be ornery. 
There are several compartments to put things and the cup holder is nice and big. This is fantastic as you can accommodate almost any size cup. 

My daughter despises riding in the vehicle.  We have another seat in my husband's truck and after using the Graco Argos 80, it's clear that she prefers it over the other one. There's enough cushion that she isn't screaming to get out within ten minutes. 

Graco has many more great products, like high chairs, strollers, play yards and more! Be sure to consider them for all your baby gear needs!
