High Chairs

FTM here ... I still haven't bought DD a high chair yet.  I was going to get one for her very soon!  I know most of us registered or bought high chairs a long time ago.  Way befor we really knew what we were getting ourselves into.  LOL!

Anyway, for those of you that have actually used your high chairs already what do you like or dislike about them?  Would you buy it again?  Or go with something differant?

I was going to post this on the "Nursery and Baby Gear" board, but it seems like most of the bumpies over there are still preggo.

I was looking at the Graco Contempo.  I like that it folds really small!  But it is still a "stand alone" chair. I'm not a fan of the ones that attach to other chairs, etc.

Got pregnant on our own without Fertility Treatments - January 2016!  Thank you snow storm Jonas!
EDD 10/15/16
At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid.  Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth.  If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP.  My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!

Re: High Chairs

  • I'm in the same boat of having nothing but I'm researching! We are leaning towards a boon flair. Expensive but I'd rather pay a lot for one chair than buy a chair, hate it and buy another.

    Check out Amazon and read reviews! That's how I buy almost everything!

  • We have the fisher price space saver. It works well for our small apartment.

  • We have two, and I love both. We have a traditional wood one that I love because it's not some hideous plastic monster and generally blends with the decor in my house. Might sound silly, but sometimes having my house filled with ugly baby gear drives me nuts. Downfalls, it doesn't recline at all.

    We have this guy too and it's great because it rolls super smoothly, reclines pretty far back, is super sturdy, and is height adjustable too.

  • We have the Graco Contempo also. I like it so far, but we've only been using it for a week. The reclining is nice cuz DS still likes to slump a bit when he is sitting. I don't really care much about the folding at this point cuz it's more hassle for me to fold and unfold it each day, but it is easy to do and put together.
  • I have the graco contempo. My sister has them, loves them. Also, the gave great ratings. I think when I got mine they were rated number one for consumer reports.

  • I still have the super cheap high chair my daughter's g'ma bought her when she was a baby. It doesn't recline or have a height adjustment BUT it's sturdy and lasted through her 2's plus lots of moving.
    I'd prefer one with a recliner and will probably buy a new one next yr when he really starts eating food. Am not sure yet....

  • I do not want an ugly plastic chair so we have the Stokke Tripp Trapp with the baby accessories.

  • We have a high chair for Jacqueline and she loves it. We put some toys on the table while we are at the table and she plays away and chats with us and generally has a great time.

    The only thing I don't love about it is how wide the stance is when it's all set up. It's definitely cumbersome...but I would buy it again for sure.
    We have a pub height dinner table and the high chair is the perfect height at the top setting but can also be dropped down lower if DH or I are eating breakfast in the living room and she's in her chair.

    We've had this chair for a while now, great purchase.

  • We have this one.  https://www.amazon.com/Keekaroo-Height-Right-Chair-Mahogany/dp/B0044R7I1O/ref=sr_1_2?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1356718873&sr=1-2&keywords=wood+high+chair I like that it actually blends in with my furniture.  It sits at my kitchen table and you can't even tell it's a high chair.
  • We have this for DS and love it!

    https://www.amazon.com/Stokke-Tripp-Trapp-Highchair-Walnut/dp/B001D1505A

    Best features:

    Grows with baby

    You can pull baby right up to the dining table to eat with the rest of the family

    Matches my furniture!

    Has a small footprint

    Well built and sturdy

    Only con is that the assessories such as the baby seat and cushion are separate so the whole set adds up ($300+)

    This is totally me as well! When we were househunting, it was important to me to have an extra room to make into a playroom to contain all the baby's toys.

  • We have the Chicco Polly Magic.  DD loves it.  It reclines, wheels around easily and cleans up well.  Alivia loves sitting in it... She spends alot of time in it while I cook.  Its about $150.

  • We have this https://www.amazon.com/Stokke-279802-HandySitt-Black/dp/B008KY9D3I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1356729693&sr=8-2&keywords=minui+handysitt and it's worked out really well.

    DS1 used from his first solid meal at 6 months until he started using a booster at 2.5. Will get it out soon for DS2 Smile

  • imagemeredithcole:
    We have the Graco blossom. It's 4 in 1 so it can be a high chair, infant booster seat, toddler booster seat, and child seat. I researched it thoroughly before buying it. We love it so far!

    Sorry if it's not clicky, I'm on my phone.

    This is what we have and we love it also.

  • We have the Fisher price space saver high chair. I really like it because we have a small kitchen and it just goes right on our extra chair instead of having something else take up space. DD seems to really like it too!

  • I LOVE my chicco high chair! It folds pretty thin and DS likes it too. I love that it comes with 2 tray covers. My LO makes a mess when he eats

  • I think mine is a Graco Cozy Dinette?  It's nice, but way too bulky.  I wish I would have gone for a Space Saver.  I do like that it essentially has three different trays.
