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.

Our Thoughts:

Everyone wants a high chair that works for any baby, anywhere, any time. Let's face it, not always are there high chairs available. However, there usually are plenty of chairs! Svan has come up with an awesome and portable solution to so many mom-on-the-go's problem!

I was super excited to review this item! I am always worried about places having a high chair, and so many times a portable one would have came in handy. The Totseat is an innovative solution, with a trendy twist! Fitting on almost any chair, the Totseat folds up into it's personal draw string pouch and goes nicely right into the diaper bag!

This is a great item for any trendy mom on the go, or a fabulous gift for a soon to be mom. I will definitely be using this a LOT and will be an item that stays in the diaper bag permanently.
