We were looking for something other than a traditional high chair; we wanted a space-saving solution, scalable if possible, and less infantile for our boy, while remaining safe. We originally thought about the Tripp Trapp Stokke, a well beautiful object which we could also enjoy the functionality with friends, his famous scalability is a major advantage. We were attracted up to the discovery of its price. We cease to desire to learn that the accessories, even indispensable, were all charged extra. No way for us to get into the game from the free spending "for breakfast." Our favorite merchant is offering us nothing satisfactory, we looked on the web. And we found this chair Roba, based on a principle similar to Stokke, for a fraction of the price. This is a purchase which we welcome for months, our 18 month old son climbs in itself; he uses it as a step stool to watch us cook, he claims to sit in when it is hungry and loves to stay there to play after the meal. Note that the security loop does not go under a table unless lower plate is more than 71.5 cm from the ground. The curve of the backrest is perfect (which is not very visible in the photos); it is not really necessary to add a cushion. The total size is about that of a normal chair, barely deep, which is handy. As the child grows, the safety handle can be removed and the Roba can be advanced under the table very easily after use. The construction is solid, in plywood. The few negatives would be an average finish, but without impact on the use. However the safety harness seemed poorly designed, we have removed, without this lack, since the safety handle fulfills its role very well. That may be an embarrassing point for younger children.
In summary, we definitely recommend this solution.

PS: this product has been bought on amazon, but on the German platform that I invite you to visit, the price is really interesting, with an equally fast delivery and perfectly reasonable shipping costs.

Update (May 2015)
In use, the chair proved much weaker than expected. The component parts of the two side posts eventually dissociate in less than a year, probably by insufficient bonding. We wrote to the manufacturer for an exchange, but as he was praying, we decided to repair the chair ourselves, restaurant and firmly gluing the weaklings pins. Going up the chair, we discovered, as reported by other reviewers, the wood was very soft, which erupted as a result of tightening. Annoyed, so we wrote again to the manufacturer, who, after several months, eventually we ship a replacement chair, new. In the meantime, the first chair, repaired, always made service and our second son was born, we offered him this new chair. So we have two ROB activity at home. The build quality of the second looks exactly the same that is to say mediocre, despite the label "Institut für Holztechnologie Dresden", which will, I suppose, a quality label but whose actual meaning escapes me ( perhaps environmental considerations, (bio) degradability of the chair is not in doubt).
Despite our reservations, we are very satisfied with this product and take away one star for our initial assessment. While the quality is not at a STOKKE but subject to pay the right price, this chair is still a great option. Our two boys are delighted, and it adopted immediately (no need to pay for a cushion, the chair is very comfortable as is and do not forget that the layer already provides padding).
Moreover, we recommend that you do not order it, proposed outrageous price 102 euros. You'll find it about 40 euros on the German Amazon site.
