XP: FP Space Saver High Chair

We are renting a small condo and would really prefer not to have a big bulky chair so I really wanted to get this chair.  The negative reviews I've read about this were 1) the older models do not slide underneath the table as booster seats because of the arms and 2) too many nooks and crannies to keep clean.

So for those who have it, what year is your seat and does it slide underneath the table as a booster (I read somewhere that the 2012 model has removable arms to it can slide under the table?) AND is it really that difficult to clean?  It would be really nice if I could use this as a high chair and as a booster that can slide under a regular table later.

 TIA!!

I got mine in 2011... I love it... the arms come off and the seat fits fine under my table.  I think it is super easy to clean.

I got mine in 2011 but it's a 2010 model I think.

It doesn't fit under my particular table due to the arms but it does fit under other dining tables I've seen.

I don't think it's hard to clean at all.  The fabric cover and straps come off really easily and the rest of it is just curved plastic. I can clean it in 2 minutes easily while I throw the cover/straps in the wash.  I can't imagine what nooks and crannies people are having trouble keeping clean...I have a regular Chicco high chair that's way more annoying to clean up.  THAT thing has nooks and crannies.

We got ours in 2011 and it's really easy to clean.  We throw the covers and straps into the washing machine and they're easy to take off/put on.  I actually stopped using the cover around 9 months because I was tired of washing it every other day and teh plastic seats were super easy to wipe off.  I just recently discovered that you can adjust the height of the chair so the arms can go above your table if they don't fit under.

This. I got mine in 2007 and while the arms did not fit under our table, it was never an issue because the height was adjustable to three positions, so we just found the one that worked.

I got this chair for my second baby, for the first we had a traditional stand alone and I hated it. DS used this till he was about three and I have no reservations about using it again for #3. I had a consignment store for awhile and when people would ask for advice, or a good seat for the Grand's house, this is what I would recommend to them as well.

Mine is a 2008 model, so it does have the arms that aren't removable and doesn't fit under the table as a booster. That was annoying, but I fixed the problem by buying a $15 booster seat when my Dd was old enough to not need the high chair. As a high chair, I think it's great. I didn't find it any harder to clean than any of my other baby gear. With them arms redesign, I would whole heartedly recommend the high chair.

I don't know if the arms come off, but it slides under our table with the arms attached, so I haven't tried.  We got it in 2011.  I think it's easy to clean as things wipe right off of it.

I got mine on Black Friday 2012, the arms are not removable but I can raise and lower it to get it under my tables if I want. For now I am using it with the tray. I seems easy enough to keep clean.
