Highchair Review - Cosatto Hiccup Highchair (Lime Zing) RRP £60.

We finally got to the point, a few weeks ago, where feeding Riley in his bouncy chair or Bumbo was just no longer working ... it was time to buy a highchair. We chose the Cosatto Hiccup highchair in Lime Zing which has a rrp of £60.

The Cosatto Hiccup in Lime Zing. 

In typical "Rachel" style, I picked this based on how it looked; modern and minimalistic/non-fussy. I did not think to consider any other factors such as, size, comfort, ease of use etc. When the highchair was delivered, it arrived in a smallish box and took no longer than about ten minutes for James to put together; everything just clicks into place. 

We were a little surprised when the highchair was up, at how small it looked in comparison to how we had envisaged it from the pictures online and on the box. This prompted a massive wave of indecision as to whether we should keep it or not. There was also the fact the Cosatto Hiccup is a non-folding highchair to consider. However, after putting Riley in the highchair and attempting to convince ourselves that we should keep it, we began to see the positives this highchair has. 

The Cosatto Hiccup is small in comparison to other highchairs on the market, however Riley fits snugly into the highchair as the seat cocoons him. Though it looks small, there is plenty of room meaning Riley won't outgrow the highchair too quickly; the box also had older children advertising the Cosatto Hiccup, which was reassuring when we were trying to decide whether it was worth keeping. Without the tray attached, the highchair fits around the dinner table as a normal chair would, meaning it doesn't matter that it doesn't fold down as it really doesn't take up a lot of space. It also means that Riley can sit at the table (when the tray is off) with the rest of the family, properly, which he absolutely loves ... though we have to be careful he doesn't grab food off our plates. Its modern and simplistic design also means that we don't mind keeping it up as it looks good.

Though it doesn't look as comfortable as other highchairs, the plastic seat just wipes clean and therefore cannot be stained with baby food, drinks or dribble. I also think the fact this highchair doesn't fold up and down means that it will last longer than the average highchair as mechanisms cannot break and parts cannot come loose. I would definitely recommend the Cosatto Hiccup and I am glad that we didn't send it back based on our initial reactions to it.
