The Contempo folds up for easy storage but is still full-featured. View larger. | Compact, Flat Fold
When you have a child, space is often at a premium. Between toys and playmates and strollers, the last thing most parents want or need is another thing to add to the clutter. The Contempo, however, is specially designed to serve all your child's needs at feeding time, but then fold down for quick and easy storage. When closed, this chair is truly compact and fits directly in a standing position in your pantry or laundry room, or next to the refrigerator. And there's never any need for assembly because it comes to you already put together, and neither folding it down nor setting it back up again require tools or hardware. Cushioned, Adjustable Comfort
Good, solid feeding habits at an early age help set the groundwork for healthy eating as your child grows. The Contempo gives your baby a safe, sturdy and comfortable place to sit and eat, and also provides parents with perks that make clean-up a snap--all which help to ensure that feeding time is pleasant for everyone. First, the cushioned, vinyl coated seat pad offers soft support and easily wipes clean. Three seat positions recline with one hand to help keep infants in a secure and comfortable position, and six seat heights put baby at table or your level so she'll feel like she's part of the action. Baby's done eating but you and your family are still enjoying your meal? Not a problem, thanks to the tray slots, which hold Mix 'n Match toys (sold separately) or other fun objects. Once baby's ready to move on to his next adventure, simply pull out the ergonomic tray with one hand, and either wipe it with a sponge or place it in the dishwasher for a more thorough cleaning. Safe Design Grows With Your Child
The Contempo has a safe, sturdy design that's made for use as soon as your child can hold her head up--up to 36 months and/or a maximum weight of 40 pounds. This highchair also comes complete with a convertible 3- and 5-point harness system that adjusts to accommodate your growing child. The innovative feet with rollers let you properly position the chair close to you and/or the table, so you can help feed baby or simply keep a close eye on him or her. The Contempo measures 23.0 x 42 x 32 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 20 pounds. About Graco
In 1942, Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products, in Philadelphia, PA. For 11 years, the firm fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953, Gray left the firm, leaving Cone as sole owner. Cone decided to manufacture his own line of products, but had trouble coming up with ideas. Enter David Saint, an engineer, tinkerer, and stained glass artisan who worked for Graco. Saint, himself a father of nine, was intrigued when an associate told him how his wife would soothe their tired and cranky baby while swinging in a backyard glider swing. Acting on this inspiration, he went to the drawing board and 18 months of hard work later, the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic, was born. Graco sold millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process. Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, their dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products remains, and continues on.

We bought this high chair because it was top rated on Consumer Reports. We love most of its features. It really is easy to assemble. Everything is very easy to do one handed. The tray slides on and snaps into place very easily. It's easy to clean. I love the choice between 5-point and 3-point harnessing. Our 9-month old doesn't need the shoulder straps, so it's nice to be able to only strap her waist in.
My main complaint is the dishwasher-safe tray insert. I thought it was a great idea, and in theory it is - until you use it. Anytime my husband or I put our arms on the tray of the highchair (say as we're reaching across it to feed our daughter), it rips out our arm hair. I thought it was just a strong static shock at first until I noticed a bald patch.
Without the tray insert, it's the best highchair we've ever used. You just have to choose between having pain-filled, easy cleaning, or having to work a bit harder to get the tray clean.
 Cute and functional! February 8, 2008

Reasons we chose this highchair:
1. Folds up
2. Color/design
3. Extra seat cover
This purchase was a truly pleasant surprise among the many not so pleasant surprises when it comes to baby gear! The reasons we chose this highchair lived up to our expectations and beyond.
The Contempo models (we bought the Birkshire color which doesn't seem to be available but was brown like the Kasbah one) fold surprisingly flat. And they fold easily. I was worried folding would be a chore and therefore wouldn't happen, but it's easy enough that it happens after every use at our house. It is not a one-handed process, but it is quick and easy. In its folded position, this highchair would slide along side a fridge or into a pantry or broom closet. We keep ours in a small space next to our pantry cabinet.
We liked the colors and designs of the Contempo models because they weren't cutesy and bright and fit better into our kitchen and dining room and didn't stand out like the uninvited elephant in the room.
I loved the idea of having an extra seat cover when I read about the Contempo and I have found it very convenient to always have a clean one ready, since you KNOW they are gonna get messy. I was a little dismayed the first time I tried to switch the covers but after doing it a couple of times, it is plenty easy and convenient. I guess I should note that I strayed from the recommendations of only wiping these covers and spot cleaning and I have been throwing them in the washer on a cool/gentle cycle. They seem to come out great! I just hang them to dry and it doesn't seem to take long because of what they're made of. I also admit that I didn't really read the instructions for removing the seat cover the first time and so I probably could have had an easier time.
My ONE complaint about this chair is the tray insert....ours came with an insert that goes on the main tray which is smaller and easier to put in the dishwasher or sink than washing the main one, BUT my baby figured out the first time in the chair (at 10 months) that she could lift it off and throw it on the floor. I thought it would get forgotten and she would get used to it staying there but she didn't and after a month or so I gave up and put the insert away.
I haven't had any staining problems some people mentioned in reviews of the Graco chairs - the tray being easily stained by colored food - but I also wipe or rinse the tray immediately after a meal and don't let food sit on it at all.
As a side note, for cleaning baby items like this with a lot of spots where food and stuff get stuck and hidden, I have a steam cleaner with a little power nozzle that focuses the steam and it works great! Plus, the steam sanitizes surfaces - although I still use a germ spray for in between major cleaning.
One concern we've had as parents is the possibility of a baby pulling the folded chair over on top of themself. It is skinny in its folded position and could topple over if left in the open or unprotected on one side.
Overall, we are very happy with our Graco Contempo highchair!

We really love this high chair. We have a small kitchen and it folds up nicely to slip between our refrigerator and cabinet. Only three minor annoyances. First, the locks on the front wheels lock themselves randomly. I could be rolling it across the floor and one or both will lock. Second minor annoyance is that the attached small tray is just that: attached. It does not come off, which at times makes getting my kiddo into the seat a bit difficult. Finally, to collapse the same tray is somewhat tedious. We felt that despite these things, we would definitely buy this chair again. Great quality and value.
Perfect highchair with tons of features! January 30, 2008

We purchased this chair for our 4 month old. I have tested and looked at many highchairs and this one was best for us. I love the recline feature as my baby can have her bottle reclined. I like the compact design as it folds very slim. It is constructed very well and does not wobble. The seat can be lowered to any height so you can pull it up to the table and have your child eat with the rest of the family. The vinyl cover pattern is dark so it hides any stains and blends perfectly with our kitchen decor.
It comes with a built in smaller tray underneath the larger removable tray and both are great and easy to use. I like that there is a divider attached to the smaller tray so that my baby will never slide out of the chair. The restraint system is very easy to use and can be undone with one hand. You have a choice whether to use the shoulder straps or not. I have purchased a couple of graco removable toys at Babies R Us that I insert into the two holes on the small or large tray. This keeps my baby occupied during her feedings.
The only possible drawback (not an issue for us) is if you have a very large/chubby baby. It might be a tight fit so check it out at the store first. Other than that it's the perfect chair and looks very stylish. I would definitely buy this one again.
Space saver! September 12, 2007
