Maybe more so than a regular high chair, but we hve had no problems changing it through the stages. Is it difficult to clean? We have a second cheaper high chair (summer infant Bentwood) and yes that one is easier, but it would NOT look good in our modern home. I have personally had no issues keeping our high chair clean. That said, I am anal about cleaning. I clean it right after my child has finished eating, and I use a special organic high chair cleaner by dapple. My child has made HUGE messes and covered the thing in everything from diarrhea to peanut butter, but with diligence and a little elbow grease, you can get it clean. My only complaint is that the base of ours has gotten quite scratched from our dogs running over it. We have the limited edition one in silver (so the base is a shiny silver as opposed to an opaque colored plastic.). I'm not sure if the limited edition is made better (we paid $800 CAD for ours), but like I said, I have no complaints and would buy it again if we had a second child close in age to our first.

What's the point in buying spare parts only to have them smashed to bits again? It is possible to keep the chair clean despite what you read but you must be extra uber vigilant to do so. <br />Is it worth the $900 it costs here in Australia; no way in the world.(but it looks great)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954164004088523382.post-80981315027021354322015-10-30T14:31:34.283-06:002015-10-30T14:31:34.283-06:00So wish we had done more research before buying ou...So wish we had done more research before buying our chair. Looking at some of the instruction videos on YouTube funny how they just put the nest straight onto the chair and clip it in without showing the fight you have trying to balance it whilst securing the back clips!!!!<br />Clearly their development team do not have children. Like you say why would you have the extra clips behind the child for goodness sake and the faff you have taking the whole chair apart to clean the straps - which after one meal need cleaning again!<br />Having said that I also like you loath/like this chair because of the cradle to four years options.<br />But why oh why do they not make it more user friendly!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954164004088523382.post-5670316140403429932013-12-12T11:57:59.578-07:002013-12-12T11:57:59.578-07:00Can anyone explain to me how to disassemble the bl...Can anyone explain to me how to disassemble the bloom fresco Highchair?

And for only $40, you can allow yourself the satisfaction of setting it on fire when it pisses you off; just make sure to take it out of the house first. [wink] Also, $40 isn't a bad price for a supercool bassinet, which the Bloom Fresco definitely is.

Now, with a second littlie ready to sit up for meals and the chance discovery of a Bloom Fresco for $40 in a local charity shop I can't resist taking the plunge! The Op Shop find is SOOOO clean, I can only imagine it's never been used by previous owners due to all the frustrations above! As you say... it looks so cool!

I have this chair so truly appreciated your rant... <br />I have broken it in frustration, lost parts as I couldn't be bothered removing cover to store them, and yes, it is a nightmare to clean! <br />I bought a new liner recently for baby number 2 as I damaged the original liner trying to clean it... (may I add ~ the cost of the liner is probably the same as 2 brand new high chairs at target...)<br /><br />Trying to find a "comfort nest" on ebay now.<br /><br />Its a nightmare to use, not particularly comfy for the kids... But hey ~ It looks cool.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954164004088523382.post-40336654307328097742012-09-04T10:36:56.370-06:002012-09-04T10:36:56.370-06:00Nokilissa, I am so sorry that you too must deal wi...Nokilissa, I am so sorry that you too must deal with the terror that is the Bloom Fresco high chair. Like so many pretty things, it is SO difficult!<br /><br />For what it's worth, our giant 1 year old (98th percentile in height) still uses the "nest" and likely will for quite a while.<br /><br />As mentioned in the post, the chair cannot be tilted with the safety bar attached without chopping off your baby's legs. You *can* tilt to the first setting (just slightly back) without removing the safety bar but it's kind of a gamble.<br /><br />Hopefully some of the other things posted will help you figure out the functions of the chair.<br /><br />Mostly though, I hope my post serves you by functioning as a good "misery loves company."

I am laughing so hard I almost cried :)<br /><br />I actually googled Bloom Fresco with a curse word and found your rant because I haven't been able to find anything on line that helps to explain this god awful chair - with exception of those infuriating "demonstration" videos that make it look like a cake walk.<br /><br />I am FURIOUS with it. The biggest challenge, frankly, has been even figuring out what f*cking setting he belongs in at any particular age/weight! Is the "comfort nest" up to 36 months or 6? And why at 9 months was he scootching around in it like a cue ball in a bath tub (I had taken out the plastic nest cause I thought I was supposed to at 6 months, but now I'm not so sure)? Can't figure out the straps, the "safety bar", how to tilt the thing while keeping the tray on and the hooks SECURED without cutting off his legs! <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the good laugh.<br />I really don't know how to use it, but this helped me to realize it's not just me!
