Boon Flair Pedestal Highchair | Review and Giveaway

When I had when I had the Twins, I thought I had a firm grasp on what must-haves I needed {since I had experience with my oldest daughter}. Yet, one new adjustment was having to fit double of everything into our house. I’ve had to fine-tune my organizational skills when it came to closet space and room for toys – yet having two of the bigger baby essentials was {and still is} almost maddening. Anyone who has had a baby knows hows how a swing, bouncer, exersaucer, play gym, and toys can take over any room. Now imagine multiples… yikes, is right! We hadn’t even considered house space for multiples when we purchased our home, so I’m very thankful that there is just enough room for us all. I had the opportunity to review the Flair Pedestal Highchair from Boon, and and it made me realize just how much one should consider design when comparing brands, before purchasing.

The Flair Pedestal Highchair comes in a box of 5 pieces, plus the instruction book. There are a few color choices available, yet I chose the orange and white one. I put the highchair together myself, in a matter of 10-15 minutes. The instructions were clear, simple and very easy to follow. Keep in mind though, the box is heavy, so you might need help in moving it to the desired assembly space {I had to wait until Hubby was home in order to get it up the stairs}. In approximately 5 easy steps, you’ll have your Flair assembled, requiring just a screwdriver. Compared to the assembly and parts included with our other highchairs, this was a simple breeze!

The Flair Pedestal Highchair has one very trendy and cool design, at first my Husband compared it to a Barbers’ chair. True, but that is what makes it so special – the simple, clean look and the compact design. As you can see, instead of having bulky legs that extend beyond other highchairs, this one has one solid and heavy round base. You don’t have to get on all fours and maneuver all around the chair on order to wipe it down. The Flair chair does have some sway to it, when compared to others {especially when kids really get moving in the chair}. Yet, in my daily use, and trying it with 2 rambunctious Twin Toddlers – it is indeed very sturdy, safe and solid. One other aspect I adore, is that there is no fabric/plastic covering on the chair. You see, I have a loathing for those fabric/plastic chair coverings – they are a major pain to wash. And they are terrible for collecting food and crumbs underneath them, from sneaky leftovers making their way down the sides. Yes, they are huge peaves for me! The colored padding is easy to wipe down and is contoured so that crumbs aren’t likely to make their way under it. Best of all, when you take the padding off, there are no holes and spaces for food to hide in! It’s one seamless design – literally, once simple wipe and it’s clean!

The Flair Pedestal Highchair is a top choice for those with limited spaces, or those who just don’t want a highchair to overtake a room. I am able to compare the Boon Flair with 2 different brands of chairs that we own, and the Flair takes up significantly less space than the others. As you can see from this photo, all 3 brands are right up against the wall – and the Flair beats them all when it comes to space-saving abilities. One other little blessing I see in the design of the Flair base is that there are no sharp edges or corners.
One brand of highchair I own has rough edges on each wheel. This has caused many tears when the kids have caught their toes on it, but as also scraped and dig into my baseboards too. For toes and my walls, I have cursed this brand a few times, which is why I appreciate the smooth and contoured base of the Boon Flair!

The boon flair features a pneumatic lift, and raises up and down to your desired height {plus, it can go higher than my other 2 brands as well}. As well, the Flair has six casters that move in any direction hidden under the base – so it moves effortlessly in all directions. These casters can be locked or unlocked by depressing the brake on the outside of the base, with your foot. Easy-peesy.

The Boon Flair comes with a two compact tray liners that snap onto the main feeding tray {they fit so nicely in the dishwasher!}. You will notice that the Flair feeding tray is significantly smaller than a tray on other brands, yet my girls do have all the space they do need at meals, without plates falling off. The Flair comes with a 5 point harness seat belt system for safety, which makes this chair great for babies to toddlers.

Using the Boon Flair in my home has been wonderful. I very much like the design and operation and the ease to clean. Yet, I have to admit that my favorite feature is the fact that it’s not babyish – it doesn’t scream ‘look out, there’s a baby in this house!!’. It has a clean, simple and modern design that is very trendy and chic! And, having just one Flair in my kitchen has given me so much more room to move! As an organized Mom, I often daydream about all the room I’d have to dance with my girls in the kitchen with 2 Flair highchairs….ahhh, I am slowly reclaiming my house again!!
