Chicco Polly Highchair

A padded folding high chair with 7 heights and a slim fold.

  • Weight limit: Up to 40 lb
  • Height / recline: 7 heights, 3 reclines

Our recommendation

Buy the Eat & Grow if budget and conversion modes lead your decision. Buy the Polly if you need padding, recline, height range, and a fold that frees the kitchen between meals.

Cleaning

The Eat & Grow relies on a machine-washable pad and a removable tray. The Polly's padded seat is comfortable but its seams and straps demand more work after every meal.

Adjustability and fold

The Polly offers 7 heights and 3 reclines and folds compactly. The Eat & Grow instead converts through four modes, from high chair to a table and chair set, without folding.

Limits and price

The Eat & Grow reaches 50 lb against the Polly's 40 lb and costs far less; the Polly premium buys padding, recline, and the fold.

Choose Evenflo Eat & Grow 4-in-1 Convertible High Chair if…

  • Budget is decisive
  • You want modes that grow to a table and chair
  • You prefer a machine-washable pad

Choose Chicco Polly Highchair if…

  • You need the chair to fold away
  • You want recline and height adjustment
  • Padding matters for a smaller baby

Questions, answered

Which lasts longer?

By weight limit, the Eat & Grow (50 lb) outlasts the Polly (40 lb), and its final mode is a table and chair set rather than a high chair.

Which is safer?

Both meet ASTM F404 with a 5-point harness and crotch post. The Polly adds recline positions for younger babies; the Eat & Grow relies on its four fixed modes.

Can the trays go in the dishwasher?

The Polly tray liner and the Eat & Grow removable tray are sized for sinks first; check your dishwasher lower rack before relying on it.
