I bought this for a trip to England and used it for breakfast lunch and dinner every day for my 9 month old. When my daughter got sick of sitting in it, I'd take it off the chair and let her play with all the straps which provided a lot of entertainment. It doesn't have shoulder straps so with a young baby you do have to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't try to lean over the edge. Also Yu don't have to take the straps off every time you fold it up, it folds up fine with them still attached and you just adjust them next time.
