Chicco 360° Hook-On Chair

You've heard us wax rhapsodic about our legless high chair, the Me Too, and we don't take back a single word, but we're still intrigued by this new hook-on chair from Italian company Chicco which is adjustable to six positions.

While it doesn't look quite as small or easy as the Me Too to tote around to restaurants or friends' houses, we must admit that the 360 degree action could have some advantages. Depending on your set-up, you may be able to rotate your child to be able to see you better while you prepare their meal. Our son needs a haircut soon and this seems like an ideal stand-in barber's chair. We also like that it comes with a detachable tray which can go in the dishwasher.

Chicco's 360° is slightly more expensive than the Me Too at $70. Anyone have one?

I have two of Chico's other clip on chairs (similar to the Me Too) and the only thing I don't like about them is that runaway food often gets lost in the gap between the table/chair OR stuck underneath the arm grips. I have often wished they had a tray. This alone might make me buy this one!
(the fact that I could swivel the kiddos to watch me cook, rather than dancing back and forth to maintain eye contact- bonus)

This looks great! I bought the Me Too b/c the Chicco clamp mechanism sadly does not work with our dining table. waaah!

This type of chair is not comfortable for the child who sits in it because her legs are dangling, without any foot support. As an assessor of early childhood classrooms, that is one thing I am mindful of with regard to children's furniture. Imagine having to have your legs dangle - after a while, your blook circulation would become cut off. Now if Chicco designed this with a foot rest, THAT would be a must buy.
