This new high chair from Peg Perego serves 3 functions: recliner, swing and high chair. The chair will lean back to allow your newborn to comfortably lounge and look lovingly at you while you get a few things done. It has a t-bar so he doesn’t slip out, even though there is also a 5-point harness on the seat. It also converts into a swing, albeit a manual swing. If you have a kicky tot, he could possibly rock himself but otherwise, you will need to put him at your feet while you give it a soft kick now and again. And when it is time for solid foods, it becomes a high chair, which is what Peg Perego is known for; they are the best selling high chairs on the market. If you are cramped for space (it folds up pretty small), this is a great option but if you want the full function of a swing, this is not going to cut it. It does not have sounds and vibration but most importantly, it does not swing automatically. The auto swing has been a life saver for my family so I cannot imagine this could replace it. It does come with an optional Accessory Pack
