 Finally, style and function at the same time August 14, 2007

Finally a highchair made by folks who not only have a great sense of design but also must actually have kids!
1) The fact that there are no crevices or corners to trap food should've been the most obvious concept in highchairs, but no other manufacturer has bothered to implement that idea until now. I no longer have to bring a highchair outside to hose down with a pressure washer and a toothbrush - I can clean the Flair with babywipes and one hand!
2) The pedestal base is a welcome change from the A-frames of other highchairs that were not only trip hazards but also a pain to clean. The smooth pedestal easily wipes clean with the aforementioned baby wipes (or Lysol wipes for the tough stuff). The pneumatic lift is to other highchairs' height adjustment as power seats in your car are to non-powered seats. It's not only more fun to use, but makes for a better fit, too.
3) The waterproof seat pad (a closed-cell-type foam cushion of the type seen on some boats) is another simple concept that until now hadn't been implemented by other highchair makers. I no longer have to throw a highchair seat in the laundry after every meal because some manufacturer thought it was a bright idea to make it out of cloth so it could have ruffles. This one wipes clean with little effort, and it's removable so you can get around the edges.
4) The fact that the harness is removable for cleaning is yet another genius move that would've been obvious to any parent but seems to have been lost on other highchair manufacturers. Bravo, I say. It's also comfortable for my daughter, and really strong. She definitely puts it to the test, and it's never even given me a scare.
5) The design is simply beautiful, but at a price point that competes with highchairs that are far less practical and much more ugly. Finally, you don't have to shell out $600+ for something beautiful, and you don't have to sacrifice function for style (or vice versa).
6) The tray liners are a great concept, but I only wish a) there were 3 of them included (instead of only 2) so I can do just one dishwasher load at the end of the day, and b) the liners covered the whole surface of the tray. As they're made now, the tray's outer rim is partially exposed, so that you end up having to wash the tray by hand anyway (it's not dishwasher safe for some reason) which seems to defeat the purpose of the liners. It's a small issue which only comes to light because the chair is so outstanding in so many other ways, and I'd still buy this chair if I had to do it over again.
7) How many other companies give 10% of their profits to children's charities? I loved this chair so much I also bought Boon's Frog Pod and Flo faucet cover for the bath. What a great company. They deserve success.
 Does not work as designed!! December 25, 2007

This chair would get a 5 star rating for design and use (both aesthetically, and mechanically). However, even after receiving a new pneumatic lift from Boon, the chair still will NOT lift up without my holding down the "orange button", and pulling up with both hands.
And now, after only 3 months or so, the wheels from the bottom are popping off (I use my high chair on carpet). Before finding an actual wheel, I had found small metal balls on my carpet; and was clueless as to where they were coming from. Now I realize that they where ball bearings from the wheels.
The quality and functionally of this chair makes me give it one star. It simply doesn't work. Next on my list is getting it fixed, or getting my money back. It pains me to write this review, because Boon is one of the few companies I normally buy products blindly from.
LOVE it July 27, 2007

I searched to find the perfect high-chair for the longest time. I am so happy that I found my dream high-chair. I bought this chair for the following reasons
1. It is very easy to clean unlike other high chairs.
2. It looks very fahsionable and the color is great
3. It can let you adjust to any height that you wish...
4. It is super easy to install (I found out that afterward of course)

This high chair looks cool, but that is about the best part of it. It is horribly uncomfortable because it doesnt recline, my child screamed when I put her in it. The idea is terrific, the whole easy to clean and push a button to raise it but not comfortable at all. Returned it right after i put it together.

I bought this high chair after much research, and after owning a Baby Trend model.
Pros: Easy to clean, much more sanitary, cool looking design, comes with two snap-on tray liners.
Cons: Brakes don't work very well, tray is too small, shoulder straps are too easy to get out of, snap-in "buckle" falls right where tray rests against baby's belly, main tray is not dishwasher safe, tray liners do not cover entire tray (so you have to wash it every time anyway).
Neutral: Though the pneumatic lift is a cool idea, as a mother who doesn't adjust the height of her high chair, I found it kind of silly and useless.
Even though it appears from my review that the "cons" outweigh the "pros", I still give this chair 4 out of 5 stars simply because of how clean you can get it! You can take even the straps off and throw them in the washer. Plus, when your kid is in it, he looks like he's piloting a spaceship!
