TL did lots of research on high chairs... we saw a few at BabiesRUs, sat her in a few of them and just couldn't make up our minds. We ended up ordering the Bjorn High Chair, and as cute as it was, it was much too tiny to last for very long - even our petite baby would not be able to eat in that thing for too much longer. So we returned it (thank goodness for free shipping both ways on Amazon).
So, we asked around to other mamas, TL checked ratings and reviews, and we decided on The Boon highchair. It looks sort of like a barber chair, and I will admit, I wasn't majorly sold on it at first. We ordered ours from Target online (5% off with your red card) and they only had orange, which has turned out to be okay.
Andie immediately liked it. It's comfortable for her, she has room to grow with the adjustable tray, and oh my gosh this thing is extremely easy to clean. The material it is made of is so easy to wipe down and takes just a minute or two to clean, which is crazy because of how messy it gets. The seat is removable, and we ended up taking the straps out of it because she is pretty snug in there with just the tray. The tray is easy to take apart and clean, and the top (what she eats off of) is dishwasher safe.
I love the way it rolls around the kitchen. If I am cooking, it's easy to just roll her around while she snacks. It's also got an adjustable height, so we can roll her up to the kitchen table next to us and she doesn't feel left out.
The only thing that I can see being a slight disadvantage as she gets bigger is: the tray is a little on the smaller size. It won't fit a standard size plate, but I think the tray itself is just going to be her plate. It's also a little tight when I have her sippy cup and food on there. It doesn't matter too much right now, but I could see that being a small issue in the future.
Other than that, this highchair rocks! I love the convenience of it for cleaning, moving, and it's not extremely ugly to look at.
