Babies come with a lot of gear, and while there are tons of decisions to make, I know I can always rely on Graco® (we have tons of items from when Red was little. The “bump” and I attended a little party last week to learn more about the Swivi Seat™ Highchair, which I took home and am readying for baby #2! Our host had the highchair all set up for a demo, hands-on exploration, and even a few attendees from the party “modeled” the product. The new Graco® Swivi Seat™ Highchair swivels 360 degrees not only to give baby an awesome view, but to allow baby to switch between caregivers and allow more versatile access during mealtimes and more.
While exploring the highchair, I discovered that there are two pads – a full cover seat cushion and a baby insert, which removes easily in one piece and allows for easy cleaning. Make sure to check out my video below for a full clip on how to clean and remove the seat cushions – it’s a snap! The foot rest easily slides out to be moved (unlike my old Graco highchair!) and the swivel feature is by far the neatest thing about the highchair. Simply lift the large “Graco” handle on either side of the chair, and rotate the secure seat. When the handle is not lifted, the seat locks every 90 degrees. If the handle is held up, you can have a continuous 360 degree turn while baby safely rides in the Graco Swivi Seat Highchair.
When you have a little baby, ease and accessibility are key. The 4 position full recline caters to the littlest of diners as well as larger toddlers, which are extremely comfortable (our eldest toddler “model” didn’t want to leave the chair at all!) The legrest props up to support a little baby’s legs, too! The ONE HAND tray removal is awesome! Hold baby with one arm and with a single hand, squeeze the lever under the tray to remove and slide out. For those messy, squirmy babies (mine included…), the five point harness in the seat clips in easily and the belts are machine washable. Along with all of these fantastic features, there’s also a stand-alone FOLD option and a seat height adjust (5 positions).
The only thing I’m really missing in this model are the wheels and brakes. I have a wide kitchen, with a master on the main. I love being able to bring baby with me as I scoot around the house, and when I’m cleaning and cooking, baby-wearing isn’t always an option. But, if you’re looking to give baby a view and allow versatile access between caregivers with the safety of a five point harness, this highchair really covers it all. Below is the video I mentioned earlier – it shows the Graco Swivi Seat Highchair in action, as well as a few cute “models” and vantage points I didn’t cover here. Take a peek, and be sure to leave me a comment!

I didn’t think about the wheels and brakes, but I’ve never moved the high chair around much. We just drag it around the kitchen to change the direction…which this fixes!
Stephanie says
It seems that they always come up with the good baby gear once my kids are too old to use it! This looks like a great high chair option. Wish it was around a couple of years ago!
Sara P. (@SensiblySara) says
I think the Swivi Seat is AWESOME!!! And one-hand tray removal is a MUST!
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
Now THAT is a great high chair. I love the look of it, and it makes things much more convenient.
Colleen says
Shopping for a highchair is like shopping for a car finding the one with the right features LOL. One day I will do this again when I have grandbabies.
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
That sounds like an awesome high chair. I always loved Graco products when my kids were little.
Catherine S says
That looks like a really nice highchair. They sure have done a lot of upgrades since my son was little.
Liz Mays says
Wow, now that is a nice high chair. I love all the table space and the sections!
Pam says
This looks like a great high chair. I love that it can be used in five different positions!
Christie says
We had a very similar Graco seat and loved ours! The super recline is awesome, especially when baby passes out after a full meal
Crystal says
Highchairs have come such a long way. One of the features I look for is how easy it is to clean. This looks like it is easy to clean, but still comfortable to sit in.
Jeanine says
Wow! This looks great. We need a new one and I haven’t seen this one before, I’ll have to check it out!
Mary O'Malley says
That is a pretty neat highchair. I’ve never had the need for a highchair (yet) but if I do I will definitely keep this one in mind. I like that it reclines, that’s cool!
Debbie Denny says
That is an awesome chair. Love the swivel action.
Veronica says
that is a great feature of teh high chair. I wish those existed when my kids were little
Joyce Brewer (@MommyTalkShow) says
Why oh why, wasn’t this around when our son was younger?
I’m sure you’ll get a lot of use out of this when the bump arrives!
Redhead Baby Mama says
right?! There are already so many new things around in the last 4 years, I feel like a newbie!
Estelle says
We only used Graco when my daughter was a baby. I love that this one swivels–so helpful.
valerie g says
that chair looks awesome! One of my friends is looking for a new highchair i will have to forward her this!
Kristin says
This high chair looks awesome! I love that the seat swivels which allows for parents to use the high chair in different places and tight corners.
Marina @ Mommy Snippets says
This highchair looks amazing and uber convenient! Thanks for sharing!
Rosey says
I like that the insert comes out so easily for cleaning. This chair has a lot of consideration put into the design. It’s easy to see why you like it!
Raijean says
I love Graco, that’s all my baby had when he was growing up. They make great products.
Camesha says
Baby #2?! Where have I been? Congrats!
The Swivi seat sounds awesome.
Redhead Baby Mama says
Thank you! Due in July… so it’s coming soon! 🙂
Meghan Cooper says
I forgot about the wheels. Mine used to drive be crazy though because the kids would lock all of them when I wanted it to move freely. We only used them when we were cleaning though. I love the rotation!
Redhead Baby Mama says
yeah, if it had wheels, the swivi part wouldn’t be relevant, but the mobility gets me.
Ann Bacciaglia says
Highchairs have come such a long way since i had to use them. I love the style Graco has.
Danielle @ We Have It All says
That is an awesome chair! I love technology!
