I also saw the great reviews and thought for the price this would work great. It's terrible!!! My 11 month old daughter, that only weighs 18 lbs. fell right through the seat within a couple of minutes. The sides are just attached by velcro....yep velcro. Luckily, we didn't trust this product and stayed right close just in case. Ya, we gave it the benefit that it was built better than it looked but it's not. It was also extremely hard to hook to my countertop (with no lip) and it didn't sit flush on top which means little fingers could get pinched. This product is getting sent back!
