Lalo High Chair

56 / 100 SRI

The Lalo high chair has serious ergonomic drawbacks that real parents keep running into: the footrest is often unreachable for babies, the tray sits too high, and the straps are difficult to use and clean. Parents with smaller infants feel it especially hard — the chair's fixed dimensions don't fit many body types well.

Bumbo Multi Seat - owner feedback

The Best Parts

Easy to set up and clean, with a removable tray parents appreciate
Kids seem to genuinely enjoy sitting in it — one child mentioned 'loves riding in it'
Buckle strap adds safety and parents specifically flagged it as a must-use feature
Adjustable height makes it usable across a range of ages and chair sizes

Potential Dealbreakers

Real concerns raised about posture support — one parent researched whether the original Bumbo design properly supports the infant spine, and found conflicting information
A safety warning stood out clearly: never leave a child unstrapped, as they can easily climb out and fall
Questions remain about ergonomic suitability for very young babies just starting solids (3–4 months), with parents unsure when it's truly safe to begin supported sitting
Manufacturer's own instructions were described as unclear — one owner had to find a third-party video just to detach the base

Lalo High Chair - owner feedback

The Best Parts

Appealing, modern design that looks great in a home
Some parents find it suitable for counter-height or hook-on table use
Footrest exists (unlike many hook-on chairs), which matters for BLW feeding posture
Appreciated by parents who specifically need a hook-on or compact option

Potential Dealbreakers

Footrest is often unreachable for many babies due to fixed seat geometry — the crotch bar prevents knees from bending properly
Tray sits too high, making it hard for babies to see or comfortably reach their food
Straps are difficult to adjust, tend to slip off shoulders, and are hard to clean
Wide leg splay creates a tripping hazard, and Lalo's suction plates reportedly don't stick to the tray
