Dream on Me Bistro High Chair Unsafe

Fall/Strangulation Hazard

Consumer Reports warn that the above folding metal-framed high chair lacks key safety features that would prevent a small child from sliding out of the seat or possibly being caught and strangled during a fall. 

During testing, the Dream on Me Bistro failed to provide a fixed “passive crotch restraint,” which would prevent the child from slipping under the tray or getting its head caught between the tray and seat, which can result in strangulation. 

The chair also has openings between the chair arms and seat wide enough for a child’s leg or torso to slip through, posing a risk of injury.

Other minor safety hazards were highlighted.  Consumers are therefore advised to dispose of the chair immediately.  

Dream on Me can be contacted via their website or by calling toll free 1-877-768-5500.
