Good morning everyone!
Cath,
I've got the Peg Perego Prima Pappa and it's been an absolute pleasure to use.
Comfy cushion, flexible 3 and 5 point harness, 4 position recline, 7 height positions, removable tray and wheels.
It folds compactly and is self-standing, we don't actually put ours away but it's a nice feature to have.
We haven't found a need for the tray yet, that'll come later when Ethan is ready to feed himself.
The wheels are at the moment, the best feature! It's great to be able to wheel Ethan from room to room, or 'drive' him around the house when he's bored and I don't want to carry him
In my opinion, the recline feature is essential. Ethan can hold his sippy cup and attempt to feed himself, the recline goes far back enough for him to only tilt the cup and he gets juice (this of course depends on how much juice you have in the cup).
I didn't view the Merenda but we eliminated it cuz there was no height adjustment. You can view it at Baby Hyperstore at Kaki Bukit.
The Chicco Polly was too bulky and I don't think it was able to stand on its own. Frankly, I thought it looked like a monstrosity.
View the actual item before you decide. I thought the Polly sounded good until I saw it.
I like the Prima Pappa's streamline look, no regrets whatsoever!
I plan to use it for all my kids (hopefully!) and it really does seem like a sturdy, good quality high chair that will be able to last for years
I agree with some mummies that a simple high chair will suffice as baby will move on to a dining chair eventually.
But I feel that since baby is going to use it albeit for a short time, get something you are very happy with, be it a high chair or booster.
If you're gonna spend money, it might as well be on something you like
Good luck!
