great!
I like this highchair and so does my daughter. The only problem i have is that it can be hard to roll on thicker carpet.

Good value
Some good things about this high chair: Seat back reclines, seat height is adjustable, two tray options, can use without trays, easy to completely clean. The only negative thing we've found is the casters don't always work so well. I would recommend this purchase

Quite satisfied
I received this model from a friend was a bit nervous after reading the reviews but have been pleasantly surprised. This replace an older model Peg Pergo (PP) Prima Pappa we have been using.

What I like about the Harmony....
-Easier to clean than my PP since the crevices on the seat aren't as deep due to thicker padding of the PP. Although I could see that the ruffles being an issues if your baby likes to grab at them with dirty hands.
-The waist straps are placed slightly higher (vs. at the level where the seat meets the back). This makes it easier to locate the straps once I've set my son in the chair.
-The plastic/vinyl appears less likely to crack and less "brittle" than the vinyl of the PP.
-The tray moves in much closer to his body which eliminates much of the lap mess. I even find less food in his bib pocket.

Disadvantages over my older PP...
-Doesn't fold up as compactly although not an issue for me since I never fold it up between use.
-The PP has a larger/wider seat for baby although this one appears adequate.
-I could see the potential for baby to figure out how to remove the tray cover although I'm hoping to avoid this by keeping the tray close enough to his body. Not an issue at this point.
-The bar on the rear axle (or whatever) sits at the same level as the wheels. I guess you're intended to lift the front or back up to move the highchair? Too much of a pain when you're both seated. I prefer to be able to reach out and pull him straight towards me.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied with this highchair. Although if it weren't a hand-me-down I'd be curious to compare it with the Fisher Price Healthy Highchair which receives rave reviews by most.

easy to use, hard to clean
I've found this chair easy to use, and pretty secure. It's nice that the back can recline so if the baby falls asleep at dinner you can just lean her back, and the one-hand controls are pretty good. However, it's hard to keep the seat and straps clean. The covering has a rough-textured fabric ruffle all the way around that collects sticky food debris, and the tag says "surface clean only", which is preposterous. I periodically take the cover off and scrub it hard with a brush in the sink, then dry it over the radiator, which works okay but is more work than it should be. The straps don't remove at all, so they get pretty disgusting. If you can find a highchair with either a completely smooth wipable cover, or one you can throw in the washer and dryer (and a dublicate cover for while you're washing one), that would be better.

No Problems
I have purchased three of these high chairs and had no problem with them. We love how the extra tray comes off for easy cleaning and I am now looking to buy another high chair for my other daughter and it will be a Graco.

Great Chair
We love this chair we have been using it for about 2 years now and have not had one problem with it.

Safety Hazzard!
I am writing this review, because this highchair has broken on us, not once, but twice! Let me explain...

A few months back I noticed that one of the front legs of the chair was getting "wobbly", so I made sure that the screw that holds it in was tight, and that every time i moved the chair I straightened the leg. Well, after about a week, when putting my son into the chair I heard a pop! sound and the whole leg bent inwards, under the chair, almost toppling over. Luckily, I still had my hands on him, and I just pulled him right back out.
After turning the chair over to look at what happened, I saw that not only had the screw popped out, but it had broken the plastic socket off of the seat base and de-threaded it as well.
Since a three legged chair is pretty much useless, I contacted Graco, and through a few emails with a very nice customer service rep, found that they would send me replacement parts free of charge.
A few days later I had new front legs, but the actual seat base was back-ordered and didnt come in for several weeks. Once I had all the new parts, it wasn't too dificult to re-assemble the chair with some of the old parts and the replacement parts they sent.
End of story? right? no.
This morning, in a typical two year old tantrum, my son pushed the chair over, and fell on the leg that was in the air. Thankfully he was ok, but the exact same piece that had broken on the old seat base broke again.
Now, I know, these things have weight limits, etc, but I think that the legs should be secured with more than one little screw and into something more secure than a plastic socket that is obviously prone to breaking.
And this is in addition to all the other issues i have with it, the tray dosent secure well, it dosen't "click in" close enough to my younger son (who's sitting well, and far from tiny), the tray tilts down away from them so that things slide out of their reach, and the seat recline adjuster take two hands to squeeze and gets stuck out of position so that the back of the seat won't stay up straight.
Overall, its not worth it, and in the same price range you can find some really nice high chairs that wont give you all the headaches this one will.
