The chair is beautifully made, very high quality and has a smart design that grows with the child and can eventually turn into an adult chair. The fact that this is a quality chair that could last you a lifetime somehow helps digest the high price. The only negatives are the straps that tie the baby to the seat. They are quite uncomfortable to put on and take off by one person (much easier when someone else holds the baby in place while you un/strap him/her) and they can chafe the baby's neck when touching the skin, especially when your kid starts to move in their seat. We are still debating whether it was worth $200, but we like it overall, mostly because of the easy-to-clean, quality design and the fact that it grows with the child.
