Joie
Multiply 6in1 Highchair
7.6/10 overall£100.00
A budget-friendly multi-stage highchair that converts through six configurations including a booster seat.
The verdict
The Joie Multiply 6in1, priced at £100, converts through six configurations including a detachable booster seat, at a noticeably lower price than the Chicco Polly Progres5. It's a sensible middle ground for budget-conscious parents wanting multi-stage flexibility, but the seat is less padded and the fabric and plastic feel less durable after a year or two of daily use.
The Multiply 6in1 is Joie's answer to the multi-stage highchair category at a noticeably lower price point than Chicco or Stokke equivalents, covering a newborn recline, highchair, toddler chair, booster seat, and youth stool configurations from a single frame.
Against the Chicco Polly Progres5, the Multiply is lighter, cheaper, and includes a detachable booster seat mode the Chicco doesn't offer in the same way — useful once your toddler is ready to sit at the table on a normal chair. The trade-off is a less padded seat and a slightly less premium feel to the plastic and fabric, which shows after a year or two of daily use and washing.
For budget-conscious parents who still want the flexibility of a multi-stage chair rather than a basic fixed highchair, this is a sensible middle ground — you get most of the practical benefits of the pricier multi-stage chairs without the premium cost, at the expense of some long-term durability and seat comfort.
