while the "high chair surface is notably clear from any hidden dangers" they fail at that lovely eye-height steel "T" for the toddler's feet. And what about the total weight? unlike a 3-4 legged highchair, this has a single primary leg that must be weighted to compensate for the child and the child's movements. Sure, it looks pretty, but real world function must be taken into consideration when designing for such a market.

Totally agree with the eye-level steel T-bar eye poker!!
As for footrests, they need to be height adjustable for when the child grows. Otherwise the legs are dangling and this does not encourage good posture.
There is also the safety aspect of having a height adjustment button isn't child proof. If second child, dog or parent accidently steps on the button, down goes the chair and if in the up-to-table position the child can easily be choked against the table or sustain serious head injury. The height adjustment should be fool proof not exposed.
overall nice attempt at completely copying other highchairs that have already been on the market for years. hardly a new design.

While i think it's very attractive, it's way over-designed. So many of the details, while clever and thoughtful, seem unnecessary. And the complexity of parts and materials?? All for such a short period in a child's life. I have and LOVE the Svan chair. A beautiful bent wood chair that has serviced my child so well and has grown with him - he is now 3 1/2 and using as a chair (but conveniently able to be raised to table height). It's beautiful and simple in it's use and materials. http://www.svanusa.com/

looks like the inspiration came from a student's design from 2006. check it out. they the people that made that high chair should contact that person. and buy the design rights.
I think brothermax have already taken their cue from Boon (http://www.booninc.com/products/Flair/701)........ familiar? Boon brought this highchair out about 3 years ago. Bmax clearly need a new designer.
