We have been using this since my son was 6 months old and he is now over 2. The clip on plastic cover for the tray makes this incredibly easy to clean – just unclip it, tip the food in the bin, then rinse and clean. The tray is also very easy to clip on and off for cleaning. Once he didn’t need the tray anymore we removed it and he uses it as a toddler seat at the dining table so we didn’t have to buy a seperate booster seat. You can even remove the seat but keep the foot rest on and it’s a learning tower for them to stand at the kitchen counter with you. Such a great purchase that we have gotten a lot of use out of.
