Detailed Test Results

Very Good overall and in Safety. Very Good in Ease of Cleaning. Just barely Good in Ease of Use. Due to the way the shoulder straps are configured, getting our "baby" (test dummy) into the 5-point harness was challenging. It almost needed a second person to hold up the straps while the first slipped the baby's arms through. The nervous parent in us worried about the "baby" falling out before we were able to get the harness on and fastened.

About

The Joovy HiLo is part of the High chairs test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, High chairs models like the HiLo are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Safety: Safety for each high chair was assessed by our testing, which is based on the federal safety standard, which references ASTM F404-21. Tests include evaluations of the restraint system, stability of the high chair, and static load assessments, as well as other tests.

Ease of use: Ease of use is based on a trained panel's assessments of harness adjustment and use, folding and unfolding, removing and replacing the tray and tray insert (if any), adjusting seat back and height where applicable, removing and replacing the seat cover.

Ease of cleaning: Ease of cleaning reflects how easy or difficult it was to clean the high chair, taking into account the configuration and materials used in the chair frame, seat, seat pad, tray and tray insert, if any. Easiest-to-clean surfaces should be smooth with minimal seams or crevices to collect gunk. Seat pads, if present, should be machine washable and/or easy to clean effectively with a damp cloth or sponge.
