My daughter, who is 1, would not like to have her legs shoved in those two holes. Can't say I blame her, though, I don't think I'd like it either. But it is a much better highchair than the one we have sitting by our table! I completely agree with Jennifer. My daughter, who is 1, would not like to have her legs shoved in those two holes.

The fact that the kid's legs are jammed into those holes, so he can't move at all, would send my boys howling in protest. The toilet seat is also pretty, but no child would sit and lounge on the toilet and make use of the backrest. They are too eager to lean forward and witness the result of their activity! I would say, for both these items, it's form WAY before function.

This brought a smile to my day, I think it's clever. The kid seat is pretty cute. Imagine if you have a nice "grown up" dining table it would be nice to have a designer kid seat that didn't take away from the look of your dining area.
