Ingenuity designed the SmartClean Trio Elite around cleanup, and the vendor page backs that up with specifics. The EasyClean tray itself is dishwasher safe, attaches and detaches with one hand, and holds plates up to 19 inches wide. Instead of a fabric pad, the seat has a removable EVA foam insert that wipes clean along with the frame. The seat reclines with the push of a button, and the 5-point harness has 3 shoulder heights. As the child grows, the seat straps onto an adult dining chair as a booster, or becomes a toddler chair, and the booster and toddler chair can seat two siblings at once. The frame has wheels. Limits are 50 pounds and 6 to 60 months, so it will not follow a child into school age. It is also bulky at 43.31 x 35.04 x 22.44 in. At $119.99 on Kids2's own store, it is the cheapest chair here with a reclining seat.
