Multiply 6in1 Highchair

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.
