I was so excited about this high chair. I loved the snap out 'plate' as a full tray is bulky to wash. After a week of using it full time, my 9-month old discovered that the tray snaps out like her flip/peek-a-boo books. She pulled it back and sent all of her food trying. We'll continue to use it, but without the tray. The other downside is that the back strap is not long enough to go around our wide dining room chairs. Other than those two items, it works just fine.
