My in-laws got us the Fisher Price Healthy Start in 2004 or 2005. It has lasted very well. It is very sturdy; I had very little concerns about it tipping, even when we had two to four two-year-olds over in cramped quarters for storytime. It was great when our second child was young, especially; he sometimes napped in it, and in our small apartment it was easy to keep on eye on him while he did. The straps are secure. The height adjustment is nice, allowing possibility of drawing it up to and under a table. The d/w-safe snap-in tray is nice, simplifying clean-up some.
However, the removable chair cover traps food, etc. between itself and the shell (blech!) and the shell isn't particularly attractive w/o the cover, not to mention having wells for the screws in to which food, etc. can get in easily but out of which it is dfficult to retrieve it. However, the hard plastic is generally easy to clean. Still, the d/w safe tray certainly doesn't cover the entire top, leaving clean up to still be done (though little, admittedly) after the tray is removed, including the wells that assist in removing the top [d/w-safe] tray.
Also, it is relatively heavy and the leg supports, while making it very sturdy (as mentioned), also make it relatively difficult to move around. It's fine if you have a lot of space and/or want to keep it in one place. If you have multiple uses in multiple places in mind, however, it doesn't serve those purposes very well.
