Baby Jogger City Bistro High Chair

About $360Checked Oct 17, 20262 sources

Our take

Folds small and has a comfortable cushion and adjustable footrest, but it felt wobbly in BabyGearLab's test and costs a lot for what it does.

Folds compactAdjustable footrest

Consider instead: Munchkin Float for an easier-to-clean folding chair.
