Cons
Con Seat is not made for a more thorough cleaning
There will come a point when wiping the seat will not be enough that you will have to take it off and wash it in a washing machine. The seat cannot be taken off and washed unless you take off the 6 thick screws and the plywood at the base of the chair. If you wait for awhile before doing this, you will discover bits and pieces of food caked inside the seat which got there through the holes of the safety belts.
Con The back is reclined too far, causing your child to slip down
The back of the chair is too reclined, causing the child to slide down when seated. The material is also slippery, made from a tent-like material, making it difficult for a child to stay seated upright.
Con Leg holes are too small
The leg holes are too small (about 5 inches in diameter) and bigger babies with bigger legs cannot fit in them. What some parents did was turn the holes bigger by carefully cutting the fabric, still following the circle of the leg holes.
Con Not very durable
Since its legs are only made with thin aluminum, you have to be careful not to exceed the weight capacity (up to 40 lbs) because there is a risk that it might break or snap. Make sure that only children within or below this weight use the seat.
