The birth of a little man is undoubtedly a joy for parents. The manifestation of care is expressed not only in attention and constant care for him, but also in the arrangement of the space around. It should be comfortable for both the baby and the adult who is constantly with him. The highchair is the second most important item after the crib. It is worthwhile to separately consider the very popular recently model Peg Perego Tatamia. Why is he and what are its advantages, are there any disadvantages and what are the reviews of parents? About this in the article below.
Dimensions
Starting the review, I want to immediately decide what the real sizes of the highchair Peg Perego Tatamia are. Reviews of many parents agree that it will not be suitable for a small apartment. On paper, everything seems not so serious (87 x 59 x 103 cm). But if you put it next to you, for a person of average height, the stool will be approximately waist-high. This is convenient for controlling the baby’s movements and caring for him. Before making such a large purchase, it is necessary to imagine how mom or any other adult will handle the chair during the day. If in assembled form it is quite compact (34 x 59 x 94.5 cm), do not lose sight of the presence of a lower base that holds the structure. She can cause inconvenience, since her legs will cling to her every now and then.
Since during the day it is necessary to perform many different actions, movements, I want the child to be always under control. Therefore, the dimensions of this piece of furniture should allow it to freely move around the apartment. Most of the positive reviews about Peg Perego Tatamia were noted among the owners of spacious rooms, it will fit well into the interior of a country house. However, those who have a smaller square area of the apartment find a place to position and move the chair, since it has much more advantages than disadvantages.
Wheels
The weight of the Peg Perego Tatamia chair is 14 kg, so you won’t want to lift it again. It was here that the manufacturer provided wheels to spin in all directions to help an adult. They are equipped with special clips that provide security. Thanks to this function, the parent can not worry about the fact that the baby will roll over during outdoor activities with a chair. Also, users note that even with an uneven floor in the apartment, you can not worry about the stability of the structure.
In total, the stool has six wheels, two from the front of the base, two on the sides (where the holding posts are attached, are slightly larger in diameter, since the whole structure is supported on them) and two on the rear.
Main functions
The manufacturer offers to use the Peg Perego Tatamia feeding chair from birth to up to three years. In order not to injure the children's spine, experienced parents suggest folding several diapers in the recess of the seat, so that as a result the baby's position is horizontal, without kinks in the back. This is the easiest and most affordable life hack that will allow you to purchase a highchair from birth.
Up to six to eight months, according to the instructions for Tatamia Peg Perego, it is supposed to be used as a deck chair-swing. In total, he has 9 levels that regulate the height of the seat. The back leans back in horizontal position. To do this, just use the small lever located on the outside of the seat. The kid will not feel a change in his position, as the adjustment is smooth, without sharp jerks. According to the instructions, a total of four fixing options are provided. In fact, this turns out to be quite enough for the baby to be comfortable in the stool.
When the child makes the first attempts to sit down or already knows how to do it, a stopper-separator for legs is provided as protection against slipping. There are two of them in the kit, which allows you to use the chair at different stages of development. The anatomical divider reliably holds the baby inside, preventing it from slipping out of the seat, no matter how it spins. The second stopper is put on over a support.
When the baby will confidently sit and try to get up, the parent can use the footboard. The manufacturer has provided for a rather long life (up to 36 months, the maximum weight of the child is 15 kg), taking into account the growth of the child. Buttons are provided on both sides of the steps, with which, depending on the height of the baby, you can adjust the size. Management is intuitive and very convenient. It is necessary to simultaneously hold the buttons on the sides of the steps and stretch down to the next notch. There are three of them, which will allow you to use the chair for as long as possible.
There are two steps in this model:
- The first is located at the edge of the cradle-seat, it reclines and can be used if necessary as a limiter.
- The second is slightly lower, adjustable in length.
Both steps are folded in and do not interfere while the child is in the chair. Due to the presence of an insert-separator for the legs, it will not roll off it. This becomes especially relevant, starting from the four months of the baby's life, when the period of wakefulness and activity becomes more and more. The kid can learn to stand up, leaning on the footboard, and the handles on the divider will provide additional support. The limiter is securely attached, but leave the child unattended.
Security
Each parent in the case of the purchase of furniture for the baby worries about its safety. During infancy (from birth to 3 months), his mobility cannot cause him any harm. He still does not know how to turn over, but still not worth ignoring. Therefore, at this stage of development, the need to fasten additional belts is not necessary. The five-point fastening system reliably fixes the position of the child in the seat. In the reviews of Peg Perego Tatamia you can find a comment that the material is soft, durable, but the fastening system (slots on the back of the chair) is a little flimsy. But this does not greatly spoil the picture, since you should carefully gently insert the belt and then you can not touch it until the first washing of the cover.
To move the chair around the house, you must simultaneously press two oblong buttons, which are located on both sides of the seat on the side pillars. Once they are released, the protective function of fixation will work and the chair will stop in place. Not every manufacturer can boast of such a braking system.
Swing
For parents whose children are not demanding of frequent carrying on their hands, falling asleep only together in bed, the swing function will help with the issue of motion sickness. On the inside of the support there are special red round buttons that you must press and pull up to the next recess highlighted in red. In this position, the seat is removed from the fixation and the cradle can be shaken until the baby falls asleep. For older children (from four to five months), this convenient option will come in handy during the wakeful period, as many babies love swings.
Table and additional options
The table can be attributed to an additional option, despite the fact that it is included. Parents, mostly mothers, in their reviews of Peg Perego Tatamia note several of its positive properties:
- There are two working surfaces at the countertop. One with a smooth surface, the second with a recess for a glass. To remove the top, it is proposed to grab the tongue from the outside of the countertop and pull up.
- The side along the entire perimeter of the main table with a cup holder will not allow spilled liquid to appear on the floor or clothes of the baby.
It would seem such trifles, but how much they facilitate the everyday life of the parent. You can set a table without using additional instructions. For ease of use, the manufacturer has provided a special pocket at the bottom of the countertop.
As a gift or an additional option, the manufacturer offers the opportunity to purchase an additional cover and an arc with toys attached to it. It should be noted separately that mothers recommend purchasing it 4-5 months after the birth of the baby. This is explained by the fact that it will be difficult for a child who is lying more or is just learning to sit down to reach for them. Those who have become the owner of a branded arc, note that it is securely attached to the base of the chair, does not hang out. The material of the toys is pleasant to the touch, the color is saturated and the child is happy to play with them.
Chair Benefits
Parents note that even when trying to swing the highchair Peg Perego Tatamia from side to side, it maintains balance and does not roll over. Side racks that hold the seat will not allow this to happen. They are quite massive in appearance, but this is in this case a big advantage. Adjusting the position of the back and its height relative to the floor is a simple click on the levers located on the sides of the seat. It will not be difficult to understand and get used to them.
In general, this way you can control any moving parts of the chair, except for the lower base. Here you will need to fold or disassemble the halves of the platform, and if the hands are busy, you can help yourself and raise them with a slight movement of the leg. If you follow the instructions, the manufacturer suggests going the other way, pulling to the side for two small levers, which are located on the side of the support posts. The platform folds automatically. To make it easier to find them, the manufacturer highlighted them in orange. In this form, the chair can be removed or hidden when not in use. Several practical uses and the assembly / disassembly of the chair will be done with one hand. It develops like a book, and in this form it is easy to remove, so as not to interfere.
Model flaws
Apart from the issue of price, there is practically no negative feedback about the Peg Perego Tatamia highchair. For those who find the issue of money more relevant, parents with experience suggest not refusing to buy such a comfortable and functional chair and get it from hand. Moreover, the condition remains the same as with the purchase.
The second drawback, which was mentioned above, is its size. However, the desire to have a comfortable and modern device for most mothers still prevails. And even a small apartment does not become an obstacle to the acquisition of a Peg Perego Tatamia chair.
The lower base also requires special attention. Since it is located at the very bottom, it is often not noticed when approaching from the front, because of the countertop. It is worth protecting your toes or being careful.
Chair Care
From a removable cover any spots are well washed off. Due to the fact that eco-leather is used as the material, any spilled drink or other liquid is washed off and leaves no residue. For those who in their reviews of the chair Peg Perego Tatamia write that crumbs are clogged in the folds, there is a simple way out - a vacuum cleaner. In extreme cases, it is enough to remove the cover and shake out small particles of solid food. This will allow not to refuse the purchase and quickly eliminate pollution. If funds allow, the manufacturer recommends purchasing an extra cover for the Peg Perego Tatamia high chair.
Removable belts are machine washable. Experienced mothers are advised to use a special mesh for linen. The plastic countertop is easily washed with the detergent for dishes that is available in the house. There are no traces even of paints, baby juice or mashed potatoes.
User reviews
Many modern moms and dads study the opinions of more experienced parents before a major purchase. Therefore, reviews about the Peg Perego Tatamia feeding chair should be given a little time. I want to note that, despite the high rating among users, it is necessary to be guided by our own needs and capabilities.
Modern parents are quite critical of the price-quality ratio. Thanks to the company's many years of experience in the market for the production of children's goods, the positive reviews about the Peg Perego Tatamia highchair are justified. This model is characterized by undoubted comfort, convenience, functionality and mobility. Separately, it is worth emphasizing that the fabric of the cover is "breathable", while in the chair the baby's skin does not fade. It's no secret that this chair is in many stellar families.
For those who are important to fit into the budget and at the same time become the happy owner of this device, parents advise not to rush to get a loan, but to look for offers on hand. Due to the fact that the manufacturer offers to take advantage of the opportunity to purchase a new Peg Perego Tatamia cover, everyone has a chance to update the previously used furniture, which at the same time will look like new. The color palette of covers contains eight colors: ice (Ice), gray, black, blue, ice cream, latte (white), red, cocoa. That is, when buying, you can not focus on any particular color, which in some cases will save on the cost of purchased goods.
The color of the removable covers is more diverse, it is two-tone, a combination of white and blue, light green, pink, chocolate, gray, orange, cream or black. Only thirteen options that will appeal to even the most demanding buyer.
It is possible that someone is worried about the trauma of the lower platform. The manufacturer here provided for its comfortable use. Firstly, parents offer to be more careful and take into account the presence of a lower base when approaching a child who is in a chair. Secondly, do not forget that it is folded in half to the side supports. When chair operation is not necessary, it is recommended to assemble them. This will reduce the occupied space in the apartment and not stumble on the platform once again.
Studying reviews of Peg Perego Tatamia, you can see interesting ways to operate it. So, moving a chair on wheels, you can use it as entertainment. Very often, parents write that moving from room to room on it imitates a car or plane well. For a kid, this is great fun, and for an adult, a quick way to cheer up your child. However, it is always worth remembering safety and being careful in moving the chair.
