Where to Buy
 

Reviewers and parents agree that the Fisher-Price Rainforest Healthy Care High Chair offers great features and adjustability at a reasonable price. Appropriate for children from newborn to 50 pounds, the Rainforest is easy to clean with a removable tray, and it has good safety features.

Keeps baby secure from infancy to 50 pounds

The Fisher-Price Rainforest Healthy Care high chair has a safe, five-point harness that secures the child at the shoulders, between the legs and around the waist. It can convert to a three-point harness  for toddlers. Additional safety features on the chair include a wide, stable base, locking wheels and an infant insert pillow for very small babies.

Sensible design for busy care givers

Fisher-Price has paid attention to users who complained that it was difficult to clean the harness straps on previous models of the Fisher-Price Rainforest Healthy Care High Chair. The straps now have a quick release function and can be washed in the dishwasher along with the attachable toy, tray cover and tray. The seat is well padded, and the seat covers have closed seams that won't trap food bits and can be wiped clean. Parents like the  one-hand removable, snap-off tray. The  tray insert  can be  removed for cleaning while the tray is attached to the high chair.

Parents find the Fisher-Price Rainforest Healthy Care High Chair  easy to adjust, put together and store. The three-position recline mechanism can be operated one-handed and makes it possible to bottle feed babies. The seven height adjustments allow parents to match the chair height to table tops or counters and to get the chair as low as sofa height. Additional details include a towel bar on the seat back and a storage point on the chair back that holds the toy or the tray.

Keeps baby happy while parents prep food

While some parents would prefer a less childish seat theme, reviewers and parents say  babies and toddlers love the Fisher-Price Rainforest Healthy Care High Chair's bright colors. The included toy has push button lights and sound that can be turned down or off, The seat's wheels enable parents to move the chair easily between the kitchen, dining room, living room and playroom.

Basic warranty coverage

The Fisher-Price Rainforest Healthy Care High Chair is covered by an industry standard one year warranty.

The bottom line

The Fisher-Price Rainforest Healthy Care High Chair is  a great choice for families who want  a safe, reasonably-priced seat for keeping babies and toddlers fed and entertained anywhere in the house. This makes it our top pick for busy families who are looking for a high chair that will take baby from infancy to toddlerhood, and perhaps serve more than one child.
