Advantages: Good to look at, ease of use, folds away.
Disadvantages: Possibly the price

...One tip I can give for purchasing a highchair is to wait until your baby is born. I never realised that I would be weaning my daughter so early. Due to the fact that she couldn't sit unaided when I started to feed her solids, a wooden fixed seat (which is what I originally wanted) would not have been any good. The Chicco Polly Double Phase highchair is brilliant. Not only is it a delight to look at (although my mother disagrees!), it is easy to use and fold away.

Unlike the xbox 360 the ps3 comes with built in wireless and internet gaming is free, which to me is a massive advantage for the ps3. the extra features on ps3 are vast, theres the blu ray player which gives outstanding picture quality with a 1080p tv, not only that but the ps3 slim is also a dvd upscaler, brilliant if like me you have a vast dvd collection that you can't afford to upgrade to blu ray. One of the most recent firmware updates gives you the ability to watch bbc iplayer through the ps3, no more having to watch to missed episodes of top gear on a tiny laptop screen. In my opinion the small things make such a difference in putting the PS3 above... Read review
