UPPAbaby Ciro V2 High Chair Review

Between spills, squirmy toddlers, and a high chair that still doesn't quite fit at the table, mealtime gear can be one of the most frustrating parts of the first few years.

The UPPAbaby Ciro V2 high chair is built to cut down on that frustration: a sleek, four-legged design from UPPAbaby that brings your child right up to the family table. It's the newest version of UPPAbaby's popular Ciro high chair, with a few genuine upgrades worth knowing.

Below, we break down what the Ciro V2 actually offers, what's changed from the original Ciro, and who it makes the most sense for.

TL;DR

The Ciro V2 is a four-legged high chair built from sustainably sourced, FSC-certified wood, suitable from approximately 4 months (once your child can sit upright unassisted) through age 3. It uses a patent-pending 5-point harness with soft, removable silicone straps that transitions to a 3-point buckle as your toddler grows, paired with a smooth, seam-free seat designed to keep crumbs and spills from settling into hard-to-reach gaps.

It's a strong fit for parents who want a high chair that genuinely adapts through several years of daily mealtimes, and for anyone who'd rather not replace their high chair partway through the toddler stage.

What's New on the Ciro V2

The Ciro V2 builds on the original Ciro with a few real changes, not just a fresh coat of paint.

• New patent-pending harness system, moving from a standard adjustable harness to one built specifically to transition from a 5-point harness in the early feeding stage to a 3-point buckle once your toddler is ready for less restraint
• Soft, removable, water-repellent silicone harness straps in place of a fabric harness, so straps no longer absorb spills or hold onto stains and odours the same way
• A more explicitly seam-free, crevice-free seat construction, aimed squarely at making daily cleanup easier
• Sustainably sourced, FSC-certified wood specifically called out in the V2's construction
• A refreshed lineup of colourways, distinct from the original Ciro's Caleb, Chloe, Emrick, and Jake options

The trade-off is that this is a refinement rather than a full redesign; if you already own the original Ciro, the V2's changes may not be dramatic enough to justify replacing a chair that's still working well. We cover both sides of that trade-off in the Considerations section below.

A High Chair Built to Grow With Your Child

At its core, the Ciro V2 is meant to be the only high chair a family needs from first solid foods through the preschool years.

• Patent-pending harness transitions from 5-point to 3-point as your toddler grows, rather than relying on one harness configuration throughout
• 3-position adjustable tray moves closer or farther from your child over time, helping reduce gaps where food and mess can fall through
• Tool-free, dual-position footrest rotates 180 degrees to support proper posture as your child gets taller
• Tray designed to fit over standard dining tables, bringing your child directly into family mealtimes rather than seating them off to the side

It's designed to go from those earliest, messiest first bites right through the toddler years, without needing to buy a second high chair partway through.

Standout Features

A few details set the Ciro V2 apart from a basic high chair.

• Smooth, seam-free seat that keeps crumbs and spills from settling into hidden pockets
• Soft, removable, water-repellent silicone harness straps that clean up easily and don't stiffen over repeated washing
• One-hand tray release for quicker seating and removal
• Integrated bib hook on the back of the chair, holding up to two bibs within reach
• Dishwasher-safe tray liner for a genuinely thorough clean beyond a quick wipe-down

Together, these details make the Ciro V2 feel like a considered piece of dining furniture rather than a stripped-down plastic high chair.

Ease of Use for Parents and Caregivers

The Ciro V2 is designed with busy mealtimes in mind.

• Tool-free assembly gets it ready to use shortly after unboxing
• One-hand tray release simplifies getting your child in and out, especially with a hand already full
• Seam-free, crevice-free design throughout cuts down on the corners and gaps that usually need a toothbrush and real effort to clean
• Harness, tray, and footrest all adjust over time, so this is realistically a one-time purchase for most families rather than something to replace partway through

Pros & Considerations

Pros

• Genuinely adapts from early feeding through age 3, minimizing the chance you'll need a second high chair
• Soft, removable, water-repellent silicone harness straps are a real upgrade over standard fabric harnesses
• Seam-free, crevice-free seat design makes cleanup meaningfully easier than a high chair with more nooks and crannies
• Sustainably sourced, FSC-certified wood construction
• Tool-free assembly and a one-hand tray release simplify daily use

Considerations

• A premium price point compared to basic plastic high chairs
• As a four-legged wood chair, it's less portable than a fold-flat or travel high chair
• Families who already own the original Ciro won't find a dramatic redesign; the V2's improvements are refinements rather than a full overhaul

Final Thoughts

The Ciro V2 takes a high chair that was already popular for its clean, modern look and quietly improves the parts that matter most over years of actual use, the harness, the cleanup, the growing fit.

It's an update to the original Ciro with a genuine trade-off, real refinements rather than a full redesign, but for most families buying new, the harness and cleaning improvements make it the stronger pick.

If you want a high chair that genuinely lasts from the first solid food through the preschool years, without needing a second purchase along the way, the Ciro V2 is a strong, well-rounded pick.
