Is there too much space between baby and tray compared to standard high chair?

I think it depends on the size of the child. it really is about the same as a standard high chair.

We found there was a larger gap. But removing the shoulder straps so you don't use them was easy and allows the child to sit forward solving the problem completely.

I would say this is the only complaint that I would have about this chair. The tray is fixed so you cannot move it to fit to your child. My daughter is actually able to pull her legs up and put her feet on top of the tray. Personally, this isn't a big deal to me. But I can see this being a problem for some.

Not really. The seat straps are secure and the tray distance is accommodating to all ages

The seat is adjustable with 3 different positions for your baby as she/he grows so you shouldnt have a problem. We love our highchair (much more of a low chair actually as it slides perfectly under our dining table so baby can sit with us).

I have an average size 16 month old who has been using the seat since he was 6 months old. There seems to be plenty of room to grow. The tray has 3 positions and I can still use the tightest/smallest for him.

May be too high for that. I would go to a local furniture store with kid in tow and test a counter height chair which these are with a standard table.

It really depends on the height of your kitchen island. Mine is unusually high, however the tray sits approx 34". It's total height is 43". This THE BEST high chair that I have ever seen!! Easy to fold and unfold. Getting the child in and out is a breeze. Easy to clean and can travel with you anywhere!

You need the double tray. The regular one is wider. It's a great stroller!!

I didn't buy the dinning tray, but I think the tray has been designed for this chair, by the way, this chair is amazing is by far the best product I have bought for the baby.

We could not get ours to fit either. There is a yellow high chair with a bird on it that comes with a kitchen set. The babies will fit in there! :)

Its adjustable, and I noticed you mentioned being concerned about your dogs. We have 2 dogs. One is very determined to get on the dining table to search for leftovers so we are vigilant about any food left on the table. The highchair is a different matter: in the 3.5 years we've been using our chair (2 babies) neither dog has tried to get food off the tray. What falls on the floor is fair game, however.

I'dgo for the younger one in the back. The tray set up is more conducive to the older in the front. I have twins so they alternate!

It won't quite slide under our table, so it sits a little bit out from the table. I definitely don't like it as much as real high chair for a baby or young toddler, but for our older toddler, it's not too bad. And for general flexibility, it's OK. No one's ever slipped out from under the bar yet, and it leaves plenty or room to fit legs between the table, but I could see a kid being able to squeeze out without too much a problem, so keeping them strapped in is definitely worth the effort, in my opinion.

Not an issue at all, it's a great high chair! The tray is very easy to clean too!

If you are asking about under the tray, then I would say there is sufficient room on the middle slot for my 22 month old grandson who is big boy at 35 lbs. The seat actually has 3 slots for you to use. On the bottom slot, it increases the room by another inch. I do take the tray off when putting him in it. Also, when pulled up to a table, with the tray off there is more than enough room for older kids even. I have no regrets buying this as it will grow with our needs.

sort of, not quite. It is fine if you just want to pull it up to the table so the baby can be near the family. But, it isn't tall enough to remove the tray and let the baby sit at the table. Maybe when they are older and bigger, they might be able to sit up high enough. But if I remove the tray, my 5 month old's nose is about level with the table.

I had no trouble with the tray. I wasn't trying to use it as a level but there were no issues with it. Good sturdy high chair. Maybe a user issue.

Actually the seat could be raised or lowered as I best remember it and we did so at the time but it quickly went to the home of her parents. She was quite taken with the keyboard and easily moved it around. I could recommend it and unless the baby in question is unusually tall then it should be fine.
