Chicco 360 Hook On

Pros
  • Extremely compact
  • Rotates 360 degrees
  • Child can eat at the table
Cons
  • Challenging to clean
  • Three-point harness

The Chicco 360 is a portable, hook-on feeding seat that enables parents to secure their baby directly to the table. Unlike most hook-on chairs, the 360 rotates with six lockable positions so that baby faces in different directions.

Secures well to table, but lacks a five-point harness

Parents say securing the Chicco 360 Hook On to a table is easy, and it seems to be very secure. The seat braces against the bottom of the table with rubber clamps that lock the seat in place. The Chicco 360 can negotiate tables with lips, but it is not compatible with tables that have a lower lip that is deeper than 5.5 inches. It also requires a full 12 inches of depth for secure installation and may not  attach to some counters.

Parents' biggest concern about the safety of the 360 is its lack of a five-point harness. Its three-point harness only holds the baby around the waist and between the legs, making it possible for a baby to push up and out of the chair if left unattended.

Easy to adjust

The Chicco 360 Hook On seat rotates in six lockable positions, so children  can face in multiple directions. The tray is dishwasher safe, but parents and reviewers say the fabric cover does not wipe clean easily and has to be removed for washing. The buttons for adjusting the chair are highlighted in yellow for ease of use.

Highly portable and compact

The Chicco 360 Hook On brings baby to the table for family dining . There is a clip-on tray to protect the tabletop that a baby can't easily remove. Thanks to its 360-degree swivel, parents can sit next to the child at the table while facing them for more direct feeding.  

The Chicco 360 Hook On folds flat and comes with a carry bag with a strap. Some parents say they keep the seat in the carry bag and at the ready for dining out. Others find it a great option for the grandparent's house. Families with multiple older children or limited floor space rely on the Chicco 360 as a full high chair alternative.

Standard warranty coverage

The Chicco 360 is covered by a one year manufacturer's warranty,

The bottom line

The Chicco 360 offers great convenience and more functionality than most seats in this category, thanks to its ability to rotate for feeding. However, because it lacks a five-point harness, it raises the specter of an ambitious baby climbing out while parents' backs are turned, keeping it a runner up in this category.
