It's sturdy, multi-functional, and helps with getting my toddler to cooperate during meals! She's a chunky girl, and the size of the chair is great, even with the added pads. The adjustable height design and ease of teardown/set up means we can bring this to any restaurant no matter if they have high booths or regular seating. Very sturdy, so she is safe to wiggle around as much as she wants. You can also turn it into a table and chair, which both have a decent weight to them so she can't knock them over or move them around too easily. Amazing value for the product.
