The Ingenuity SmartClean Trio 3-in-1 is a high chair, booster seat and toddler seat in one. The SmartClean element of this high chair is because the tray and seat pad are dishwasher-safe, and the straps can go in the washing machine. But will this help budge the bolognese, apple sauce and crumbs that we put on high chairs to test how easy they are to clean? Read the full review to find out.

Stability

How we test stability

It is not the result of the safety assessment conducted by our laboratory which did not reveal any problems to cause concern. It is a consensus opinion, not a guarantee that the product is safe or not safe. Parents considered aspects such as how well their child was enclosed and held in the seat, whether they could lever themselves to stand up or slide about, if they could wriggle out of parts of the harness, or trap fingers or other parts of their body in the mechanisms.A 3-star rating indicates that the perceived safety of the high chair is acceptable. 4-stars indicate that is the product is perceived to have good stability. A 5-star rating means that parents perceived and would have described the stability of the high chair as very good/excellent/the best/far above average.
