Bloom High Chair Review

Troy: Welcome back to Due Daddy, I am your host Daddy Troy. Today I am with Simon Bloom, and he is going to tell us all about this high chair, it's called the Fresco Loft, very stylish, well engineered. Tel me all about this product. Simon: Yeah, this one is a Fresco Loft, and this first model that we are looking at here is the cradle model, that's one of the unique things about Fresco, is that it goes from new born to 80 pounds of weight. All of the other high chairs in the market start at six months, and go to about 3 years, this got a start at new born. Troy: Because something special happens around six months. Simon: Baby's neck muscle get strong enough and they can hold their head up. Troy: Does that really happens around six months? Simon: It depends, four, five or six months. Troy: Okay, great. Simon: So the cool thing about the cradle model is that, your mother or father can be working in the kitchen and the baby can be off of the ground, and he is now going to sleep here. It's got a five point harness with anchor here by this point here. This is a liveried material. It actually comes in nine different colors. Troy: Easy to cleaning? Simon: Yeah, with water it's really easy to clean. This guy here is a little snug, it's 100% bamboo,which would develop full Fresco a coco and a nano. It's interchangeable. You can put in the washing machine. Troy: That's good. Simon: The guy as you see rotates Troy: So if your over here working and then you want to see over here, you -- okay. Simon: The one thing we would suggest then is you put this guy on. Obviously so the baby is secured and not moving around. Troy: Okay, right. So you turn it and then tighten it up. Simon: Yeah tighten it in the position you want. Troy: Okay, great. Simon: The next thing is the up and down obviously, and the reason we call it Fresco is that it actually goes to American breakfast bar height. Troy: Great, super. Simon: Alright, so once you have done the sort of the cradle mode, let us talk about the feeding mode. The first feeding mode is sort of a Euro style up to the breakfast bar, up to the dinner table. Really don't need a tray, you have got you know the five point harness, baby is completely secure, and at this point you probably would stop so you can use the footrest. In the first position, so the footrest, it has actually got three positions, so it grows with the baby. Troy: So both when you change this as well as when you change that everything is done with one hand, really quick and easy, isn't that? Simon: Yeah really it is, off and on. The second feeding mode is this guy which is same thing, five point harness, but you have got an additional safety bar here, that sort of provides little of security and comfort for the mother and baby in this position. Then you go to what I guess is a little more traditional. It's a feeding mode with trays, that's what we call the third feeding mode. At this point you put on what we call the mini-tray, and by the way all the plastic on the surface tray is lead free, that's why it's very hard food grade plastic. And it is also dish washer safe. This guys is like mini-tray, white-tray, and we have got sort of synthesize deep lipped, you know if there is anything more than one, they have got a lots of stuff down on here other than just the food. Troy: Sure. Simon: One other things that parents really like is the sort of the middle require, so that after the babies have had some food, just pull the trigger Troy: That's great. Simon: So back they go and do the snooze. Troy: Well, that's great. That's superb. Simon: And the next thing is, you know because this a piece of furniture, but you know on the top floor or wooden floor, one of the great things is you can actually move it around. Right, so lower it down. Close the side wheel latch. And there are two wheels onto the top. Troy: Oh! That's great. It makes it so easy to move around. Simon: And finally I think you remember I said, it goes to 80 pounds of fair weight. Once the baby gets through that three feeding modes, they are not going to want to use the harness anyway, so take off the harness and this well crowed pieces here and here, underneath to keep the seat without the five point harness. We get lots of pictures from Europe and other places where kids are using it as a little chair for their desk in their room, because it holds the weight of 80 pounds. So it's one of the cool things. It's really useful to newborn, up to 80 pounds, that makes it, it's sort of investment, you know that goes over through time. Troy: Right and so you can -- and Simon, you are telling me that you guys are, Bloom is a dad based company. Is that right? Simon: It's For Dad. Aussie, Kiwi, Mexican and American. Troy: When you guys design, is style pretty important obviously, or modern? Simon: Yeah, style we looked at the high chair category and we felt that there was room for improving in the sense of aesthetic, so style was a big grade of thinking force, but it is not good having a look good but not without any function. So I think we built a quite a number of features in, for the features as well as the look. Troy: Well, thanks Simon so much. And that's all on Gear Daddy, we will see you next time on Gear Daddy, as well as all week long on Dadlabs.com.
