Pros

Cons

The Amaati Orla Hi-Lo Highchair is a modern, multi-position highchair designed to adapt from babyhood through to toddler mealtimes. Suitable from birth up to 15kg, it has a reclining seat, 5-point harness, 6 height positions and a wipe-clean faux leather-style seat.

At £99.95, it sits at the value end of the highchair market, while still offering features more commonly found on higher-priced models, including a recline function, adjustable height, foldable frame and removable tray insert.

About our parent tester Pippa tested the Amaati Orla with her 7-month-old baby during bottle feeds, first tastes and supervised time in the kitchen, as well as with her 2.5-year-old toddler during mealtimes.

How easy is the Amaati Orla Hi-Lo highchair to set up?

The highchair was really easy to set up. The chair unit arrived as one piece with the fabric already inside. All that was required was slotting the legs into place, putting in the footplate and adding on the tray. It really didn’t take more than five minutes, a bonus for time-strapped parents!

The instructions were very clear, allowing for a straightforward setup. The only thing that was challenging was adding the footrest. It turned out I had to be a bit more forceful than I was brave enough to be!

Did it feel sturdy and secure once assembled?

The highchair feels very secure and sturdy on both hard and soft flooring. The legs have non-slip corners, so it doesn’t move around when in use.

How well does the Amaati Orla work for babies?

My baby seemed very comfortable in the Amaati Orla. The seat is cushioned, the straps are padded, and the adjustable 5-point harness felt secure and supportive.

The recline is easy to adjust using the lever on the back of the seat, with 2 recline options. Neither position is completely flat, so I didn’t feel comfortable using it for naps, but it worked well for supervised awake time, occasional feeds and keeping my baby up high in the kitchen away from our dog.

My baby is primarily breastfed so we didn’t use it much for milk feeds, but she did have the occasional feed in it. The recline option felt relaxing for her, and it was useful as a supervised place to put her while I helped my toddler.

How well does the Amaati Orla work for toddlers?

My toddler fitted well in the seat, although she is on the smaller side compared with her peers. Her legs were already getting a bit long for the footrest, so some toddlers may outgrow this feature around the age of 2.

She found it easy to sit in the highchair and ate comfortably using either the tray or the table. The footrest is removable, so the chair could still be used for longer without it.

How easy is it to adjust the highchair?

Changing the height setting is very easy, but it does require 2 hands as there is a lever on each side. I found it helped to anchor the chair down with my knee because it is fairly lightweight, which is a plus overall.

My toddler enjoyed the chair in the upright position with the footplate towards the floor, whereas my baby preferred the chair upright or slightly reclined with the footplate straight out.

How practical is it at the dining table?

My toddler wanted to sit in it for every mealtime and snack, and could climb in and out herself.

The 6 height settings meant we could adjust it to suit our dining table, so she could join us at mealtimes while still using a wipe-clean highchair rather than our dining chairs. She used it both with the tray in the kitchen and without the tray in the dining room, which made it feel like a useful transition between a traditional highchair and eating at the family table.

When using it up against the table without the tray, the 2 arms that the tray sits on were a bit in the way. They can be lifted up, but they still sat close to my toddler’s elbows.

We used it both at the table and standalone in the dining room and kitchen. It isn’t a space-saving highchair, but it isn’t excessively bulky either.

How easy is the Amaati Orla to use day to day?

The tray is quite easy to attach once you get the hang of lining it up at the right angle.

The footrest is very stiff to slot in but easy to remove, and there are 2 height options. The footrest plate is also adjustable, so it can be flat or angled down towards the floor.

My biggest hesitation would be the need for 2 hands for many functions, such as putting it up and away, putting the tray on and off, and adjusting the height. As a mum of a baby and a toddler, I very rarely have both hands free at once.

How easy is the Amaati Orla to clean?

The seat and tray are both very easy to wipe down. The tray is hard plastic and the actual top of the tray itself comes off, which is ideal for a particularly messy meal.

Underneath the coloured ‘top tray’ is a large black plastic tray without the cup holder. This could be useful for doing messy activities. The seat is leather-effect fabric, which is very easy to wipe clean.

I have not yet had to remove the cover or straps, however the straps and cover both appear easy to remove, the seat cover removes via poppers and the straps thread through.

The main places food gets stuck are down the sides of the seat (has happened in every highchair we’ve tried!) or in the cover for the buckle. The strap covers stay in place well, but the buckle cover does not. It falls down a lot, and food ends up inside it.

Does the Amaati Orla fold for storage?

Yes — the highchair folds away quickly and easily, simply pressing two buttons at the side of the seat unit and pushing the legs together. The tray slots on the back of the highchair for easy storage too.

The highchair can fold completely flat, so in that respect it could be suitable for smaller homes if they wanted a full highchair option rather than one which fixes onto a dining chair. I store it against the wall in the kitchen. If stored on the lowest height position it would fit in a larger cupboard such as under the stairs.

It does stand independently, although I wouldn’t leave it out because my toddler might try to climb it and knock it onto herself.

When on the lowest height position it is sturdier, however I store it on the height I use it at to save me adjusting it each time.

What is the design and build quality like?

It is stylish and sleek, one of the more aesthetically pleasing baby items we have! The black and sage colourway feels modern and would suit most interiors.

The seat padding is faux leather and wipes down easily. It feels high quality and very comfortable for both my baby and toddler. The metal frame is sturdy and easy to clean.

What’s in the box?

How sustainable is the Amaati Orla highchair?

The packaging is minimal. The outer box is recyclable cardboard, although each item is wrapped in plastic, which may be recyclable at larger supermarkets with soft-plastic recycling points.

The highchair has stood up well to heavy usage so far, and I believe it would be durable enough to use for multiple children or to pass on after use.

Is the Amaati Orla worth the money?

We have used 2 other full-size highchairs and the Mamas & Papas Bug seat attached to our dining chair for our toddler. Compared with these, the Amaati Orla feels more luxurious in its fabric and finishings. It also folds flat, unlike the Ikea highchair we tried, and offers a good level of support thanks to the recline function.

I would recommend it as I do think it is a good-value highchair which could be used for either babies or toddlers. However, my toddler wanted to use it every time her baby sister did, so we might need to get a second one!

It is definitely a long-term use item, and at £99.95 it feels more like a long-term bargain than an investment.

Where can I buy the Amaati Orla Hi-Lo highchair?

MadeForMums verdict:

I would definitely recommend the Amaati Orla as a good, cost-effective highchair that looks sleek and feels high quality. Both my baby and toddler were very comfortable in it, and I found it very easy to keep clean.

Its biggest strengths are the supportive seat, multiple height options and ability to be used at the dining table. For me, the main drawback is that several functions — including attaching the tray, folding the highchair and reopening it — require 2 hands.
