It’s been designed to work without a safety harness or other straps – your baby is kept firmly in place by the shaped seat and the play tray.

The Brother Max Scoop can be adjusted through several heights, making it suitable to sit up to any table, breakfast bar or for storing beneath the table and it moves smoothly on its built-in castors. It rotates through 360° so if space is tight, pop baby in from the side, then turn it to face the table.

The seat is nicely padded and has a great shape to offer good support for your baby’s spine and hips and it is easy to keep clean with just a quick wipe.

The two position tray can be completely removed, and its separate inner tray which can be taken off to get it really clean.
