Kiskadee 360 Rotating Highchair

WOWWWW is all I can say. The Maxi-Cosi Kiskadee 360° Rotating High Chair has become my FAVORITE high chair and will be my recommendation to friends. I was a little hesitant when I first saw a picture because it just doesn't look like a typical highchair at first glance but wow does it deliver! I assembled it alone in 5 minutes and it was very straightforward with pictures. When building it you can just tell it uses good quality material and solid wood. It is very sleek yet still holds up to 40lbs on the highchair and 50lbs on the booster/stool. I am beyond impressed with how many modes it offers and different options to maximize comfort but also make meals/ cleanup exceptionally easy. My absolute FAVORITE thing is the 360 rotation it is a game changer for sure!!! It's like the rotating carseats once you have the convenience you can't go back. It's is so nice to buckle them in and swivel them under the table or different sides depending on who is available to feed the baby. It is super easy to clean I just spot clean the fabric and wash it when necessary. I love there isnt a million crevices to dig food out of. The tray has a topper on it that clicks off and can be put in the dishwasher if necessary. The tray has different adjustments to give a growing baby more space between the tray and belly (I've never seen that before and for a mom with chunky babies I love this). For a younger baby you can use the straps and lock the tray closer to help them sit up or even easily recline the chair but as the baby gets bigger you can have him sit up straight and adjust the tray for belly size. The straps are amazing they are magnetic and the easiest I've ever tried to adjust because all of them can click out and adjust without having to rethread in the back. It takes seconds to click the straps out and remove the padding to be cleaned. Very easy one handed maneuver to adjust the chair into a recline, remove the tray, or even remove the chair to turn it into a booster seat. Even grandparents have used it and commented how easy it is to use IYKYK. There is so many functions I feel like you really get the bang for the buck. I've tried it as a highchair, booster seat (with or without a tray) and a stand alone stool. You are essentially getting 3 chairs in one and can even have 2 kids using it at once (booster and stool). Personally, this feels like a piece of furniture than a giant multicolor blob sitting in my kitchen screaming kids live here, which I can appreciate. Lastly, I thought seeing the legs it would take up more space but honestly even with my round table it fits nicely above it and can easily be pushed in. I personally love the height and think it's perfect when I'm running around and feeding the baby I'm not bending over, dogs can't reach the tray as easily, and it sits above my table with a tray on top and can be tucked in (unless I rotate the chair to the side). I like when highchairs sit higher so they can scoot in more and not take up more space. The fact the main seat is clear just makes it seem less cumbersome and bulky in appearance alone, which if you have a smaller space looks nice and blends in.

The booster seat is very easy to attach to a chair. I love there is a compartment underneath to store the straps so they aren't dangling on the sides when not in use. If you have trouble connecting the chair to the base, just make sure the straps are inside the compartment and it is flush when closed. The chair should easily glide onto the base and click in. The booster can be used with or without a tray.

Lastly, the stool. I like the fact this highchair can grow with the kids and can be used in so many ways. The stool fits nicely under the table when used. I like I can have a stool and a booster seat at the same time when needed. It has been helpful with playdates with multiple kids at the house all different ages and needing more seats. My only negative is I wish the stool had one more lower step for kids to use. But if your child is anything like mine they climb up no problems anyways haha. Overall, I would 100% recommend this highchair to all my friends and family, we absolutely love the function of it!!

*I was given this high chair to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.*

I received this high chair as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and have been using it for a little over a week. It has been a great high chair for my 15 month old, with a few relatively minor inconveniences.

The chair did require assembly, but it was easy to put together by myself and did not require any extra tools (it only needed a hex key, which was included). Once assembled, it is lightweight and quite easy to move around as needed. The four legs provide a pretty wide base so that the chair remains stable, and because of the rotating feature, once we put the chair where we wanted it, we only had to rotate the seat to help with where our daughter was facing and to get her in and out, instead of moving the entire chair, which we appreciated. The straps were easy to adjust, and buckling her in was also very simple once we learned how the magnetic clasp worked (we hadn't used this particular style before). I also really liked that the chair is *very* easy to clean because of its design -- no hard to reach places!

The minor inconveniences?
- My family is CONSTANTLY tripping over the legs because they extend out into our space to keep the chair stable. I expect we'll get used to it the longer we have the chair and eventually the tripping will stop.
- The chair is not height adjustable and the tray is higher than table height (see photo), so if you're looking for a high chair where you can remove the tray and then just use the chair at your table, this is not the chair for you. It does convert to a booster seat that you can attach to your own dining chairs, but we have not used it in this form yet.
- The footrest is not reachable for a toddler sitting in the high chair. I think it might be the right height for when it's used in stool form, but again, we haven't used it like that yet.
- The clear plastic back makes it easy to see food that has fallen into the chair (but this is maybe also a good thing, so you know where to clean?).

The Maxi-Cosi Kiskadee 360 high chair was a great addition to our dining room. The rotating seat makes it easy to get our little guy in and out of the chair without moving the base and it is simple to rotate one-handed. And the tray is easily removed with one hand too which is great when holding a wiggly toddler! The magnetic buckle harness is very secure but much easier to use than fiddling with actual buckles. The tray is smaller than some other high chairs but we considered this a great feature as it helps contain the mess!

We especially love how easy the high chair is to clean. The tray insert being dishwasher safe is a game changer for cleaning up. The seat pad can be easily brushed off and is simple to take off and put back together.

We definitely recommend this high chair for any home and especially for busy families who want to spend mealtime focused on being together and not worry about a complicated and stressful cleanup afterwards. Plus the design is upscale and doesn’t seem out of place in a well designed room.

We received this high chair as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Thanks Stellar panel and Maxi-Cosi!

I received this high chair from Stellar Product Testing Panel and I am so grateful. I have a 15 month old and a 3 1/2 year old and both have enjoyed this seat! We have it in the booster seat and stool set up at the moment. My daughter used to hate being in her high chair and now in the booster seat LOVES meal time! The 360 rotating design is helpful for quickly moving our daughter around during dinner time. The design of this chair has really elevated our dining room. It is so sleek, stylish, and sophisticated. The seat and tray are very easy to clean, there are no crevices for food to fall into. So, all in all, this seat has stayed much cleaner than our previous high chair. Also, I really love the harness system that keeps my child safely buckled in. I 100% recommend this chair, especially for growing kiddos and toddlers! Both of my kids have loved this so far!

received the Maxi Cosi Kiskadee 360 Rotating High Chair from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have two children, aged five and one, and was eager to test it out—particularly with my younger child, who currently uses a high chair with a tray.

Visually, the high chair is quite attractive. We received the “Onyx Heritage” color, which fits perfectly into our neutral-toned home decor. The chair features wicker caning embedded inside the clear plastic back and bottom of the seat. This design makes for easy cleaning while maintaining its classic aesthetic. The legs are made of wood and come with built-in anti-scratch caps on the feet to protect the floor. While the base design is aesthetically pleasing, it's worth noting that the legs are tapered and extend out quite a bit, increasing the overall footprint of the chair.

The chair boasts seven modes of use. It is possible to remove the legs and rest the seat on top of a regular chair, though we only used it with the legs attached, both with and without the tray. Our daughter sat comfortably in the chair next to our dining table, and we found that the height was also suitable for our island counter, allowing for versatile use in both seating areas. Additionally, the seat can be reclined for lounging, though we didn’t use that feature often since the seat was primarily used at the table.

The 360-degree rotating design proved very convenient at mealtime, allowing us to easily turn her to face the person feeding her. Rotating the chair is as simple as pressing a button on the base. I do want to note that the chair locks in place at 90-degree intervals, so the rotation isn’t fully customizable. It would have been nice if the chair allowed for more flexible rotation.

Cleaning the high chair was very easy. The tray includes a dishwasher-safe insert, and the fabric on the seat is machine washable and simple to remove and reattach.

Overall, the Maxi Cosi Kiskadee is one of the best high chairs I’ve ever seen or used. With the exception of the space needed for the legs, I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience with this chair. I would happily recommend it to any of our friends or family who are in the market for a new high chair.

I got this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and it does not disappoint! My 2 favorite features of this product are the removable tray and the 360 degree turning. It is a life saver to be able to easily remove the tray while still keeping my baby in the high chair. The packaging was cute and the assembly was extremely easy! I didn’t need any additional tools and took me all of 5 minutes to assemble. The legs do stick out a bit, which has been an adjustment for me, but things like a foot rest, 5 point harness, and versatility definitely outweigh that! This is all around a fantastic high chair and I will be recommending this to all of my mom friends!

I haven't had much luck with high chairs, so I was really excited to try out this one as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. When I opened the box, I was surprised at how pretty it was. It matched my home decor perfectly. The can details were gorgeous, and the materials were really high quality. It was easy to put together and didn't stick out like a sore thumb, which was nice.

That's about all this high chair is good for, unfortunately. My daughter just turned one, and when I put her in the chair, she was visibly uncomfortable, especially when I pushed the tray into place. The design is such that the tray pushes against their crotch to hold them in place, and that seemed like a very odd design to me. She's a pretty chunky girl, so she had to spread her legs out pretty wide for the tray to fit into place.

Not only that, but the seat itself is in an egg shape, and she kept sliding down as she ate. There is no footrest, so she had nothing to prop herself up on. We tried taking off the padding to see if that would help her stay in place, but that didn't work either.

I will say, the magnetic straps are awesome. I do wish there was a place to put the straps when you're putting your kid in the chair so they don't fall behind them, but the magnetic idea is genius.

The 360° mechanism worked really smoothly, but I never actually used it. I didn't see a point or a reason why I would want to turn the highchair itself or a time that would come in handy.

I did like that the chair turned into a booster and a stool. Any baby item that can be useful in later years is a bonus for sure. All in all, this high chair has some great ideas, but the overall execution just isn't quite there. It's essential for a child to be able to sit upright while eating, and that just wasn't how this chair was designed.

I am giving the Maxi-Cosi Kiskadee 360° Rotating High Chair 3/5 stars at best. I wanted to love this high chair, but after using it with my 16 month old son, I would not recommend it to most parents.

About me- Currently stay at home mom, late 30s, one child, very type A.

Pros:
- Easy assembly. Most parts snap together. One tool is needed and it is included. I assembled in 20 minutes
- Color pallet is a pretty grey with light wood contrast. This high chair could definitely blend in with home decor and looks like a piece of furniture rather than your typical highchair
- The crevice-free clear plastic seat design made cleanup very easy. I did not have to spend time scrubbing nooks and crannies getting food out.
- I really enjoyed the magnetic harness. This was so easy to clip and unclip that I was able to do it with one hand. This was my favorite feature of the chair!

Cons:
- Very wide stance. Did not work for the corner wall space where we keep our high chair (see pics). I thought a workaround would be using the 360 degree rotation, but the rotation only rotates at 90 degree intervals. If you try any different position, the seat will not lock which is obviously a safety hazard
- The back of the seat has a slight lean (see pic). I had to keep adjusting my son’s butt to the back of the seat because he would slide and slouch. This was not comfortable for him
- Legs do not have wheels, making it difficult to reposition entire unit
- My biggest qualm with this high chair was the tray. The crotch bar is attached to the tray and is not part of the seat. This was really awkward landing it just right so I wasn’t squishing my kids legs. Tray also does not have cup holders

I would recommend Maxi-Cosi Kiskadee 360° Rotating High Chair to someone who is interested in more of a furniture piece rather than a practical, everyday/multiple times per day high chair.

I was given this high chair to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

What an incredible high chair in both function and looks! I received it through the Stellar product testing panel and my only wish is that I had this for when my other son was smaller. Putting it together took five minutes and everything that was needed to assemble it came with the chair! The design has a beautiful modern look and it’s so easy to clean up after meal time because of the crevice free design. One downfall to the design is that the base of chair is wide, however with the swivel feature I was able to fit the chair perfectly in the corner and still have my baby face the table to eat with us. I have a 9 month old and a 2 year old and they both fit well in the chair, so it’s a great option for when your baby gets older too. One of the things I loved about this chair was how easy it is to fasten the straps because of the magnetic design. I can get both kids in and out of the chair quickly and my older kid hasn’t quite mastered unbuckling because it’s not your typical buckle which makes the seat for us more versatile than just for eating, but also coloring or doing crafts. The padded seat can also be taken out and is machine washable. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because of the wide base, but truly this is a 5 star exceptional high chair that bonuses with a beautiful modern design.

Assembly took me all of 5 minutes, and was very straightforward. The first thing I noticed upon unboxing this chair was the buttery soft padding material. A little difficult to spot clean, it did however perform great in the wash.
The next feature I adore is the magnetic clips. The pieces snap together with little to no effort. I wish there were more baby items with similar buckles. The 360° rotation is so convenient. I have the chair facing away from the table so my child can climb in, I buckle him, and rotate him towards us to eat. The padding, and buckles all come off easily for deeper cleaning. There’s not many areas food can get trapped. Makes clean up a breeze. Lastly, this chair can function as two separate seats at the same time, and will continuously grow with your child. My only complaint is if you have a larger child, they do seem to fit a tad snug when with the padding and tray attached. But, it’s not a deal breaker. Lovely seat, 10/10 would recommend.
