A proper feeding high chair or booster seat is one of the new items you should buy for your new baby. Babies and toddlers are messy eaters, so the right high chair can keep food messes in check. Additionally, feeding your baby in a safe upright position helps limit choking risks, teaches your little one proper table manners and allows your tot to become an independent eater because his dishes and utensils will be close at hand. That said, if you're raising a green baby, it can be hard to find a suitable high chair. Most are plastic and few wooden chairs are made in a sustainable manner. When you do find a more eco-friendly high chair it tends to be a lot more expensive, so it's not a win-win situation. Luckily, you've got Inhabitots to help you out. We've rounded up 5 greener high chair options in a variety of price ranges, plus we've got some great tips about how to buy a safe used high chair (yup, buying secondhand is more eco-friendly too).

So I borrowed the texture from the BV rug above, redrew the original design, and added "WELCOME" in Simlish (a font that you can find here). To make the mat readable in all colors, I darkened them a bit, so they don't match exactly with the other objects I've recolored.These all work with or without HL's rug fix.

It doesn’t matter whether you plan to introduce solids by spoon at six months or let your baby find his or her own way with food through baby-led weaning — you’re going to need a high chair. And the good news is that there are excellent options for every budget, starting at just $25. Forget bells and whistles like padded cushions and reclining seats, and worry about chairs that are sturdy, convenient, bring your baby right up to the family table or have a long shelf life. /ca/en/catalog/products/S79067506/" target="_blank">IKEA Antilop $20 (including optional tray, not shown)
If you’ve ever eaten a Swedish meatball while shopping for housewares, chances are you’ve seen IKEA’s Antilop high chair in action.
There are dozens of them in use in the cafeteria there and in restaurants across the country. And for good reason: aside from its measly $14.99 price tag (plus another five bucks for the tray), it’s a damn good chair. Sturdier than you may imagine, the best part is that it’s the easiest high chair to clean. /2012/04/12/ikea-antilop-high-chair-review/" target="_blank">full review of the Antilop on Mommy Gearest. 5 Best High Chairs > IKEA Antilop http://www.canadianfamily.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IKEA-Antilop-150x120.jpg http://www.canadianfamily.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IKEA-Antilop.jpg http://www.canadianfamily.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IKEA-Antilop.jpg 500 500 http://www.canadianfamily.ca/kids/baby/review-5-best-high-chairs/slide/ikea-antilop/ ikea-antilop 0 0 155124 bloom nano $200 CDN + shipping
Calling all galley kitchen owners! The bloom nano is the urban-dweller’s dream high chair.
When you need it, it’s an extremely well-made, beautifully designed chair that has a large, dishwasher-safe tray or works with breakfast bars and islands; when you don’t need it, it folds flat enough to tuck into a closet or behind a door. Consider yourself warned: if you have a standard-height table, you won’t be able to pull the nano right up to it, sans tray — it’s too high. 5 Best High Chairs > bloom nano http://www.canadianfamily.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/bloom-nano-150x120.jpg http://www.canadianfamily.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/bloom-nano-e1382145371476.jpg http://www.canadianfamily.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/bloom-nano-e1382145371476.jpg 350 232 http://www.canadianfamily.ca/kids/baby/review-5-best-high-chairs/slide/bloom-nano/ bloom-nano 0 0 /Stokke-Steps-Highchair-P4059.aspx#" target="_blank">Stokke Steps $330 + age-appropriate seating accessories
Although it comes with some sticker shock, this multi-stage system will give you powerful bang for your buck.
It’s more than just a high chair; it’s a bouncer that sits in the frame so your baby can share mealtime with you anytime—long before he ever tries solids. It later converts to a high chair, then toddler and kid chair, keeping your precious little one seated at ideal table height for years.

In the minimalist, multifunctional high chair category there are some real gems and it’s hard to choose just one. But coming out slightly ahead of the competition is the Keekaroo Height Right.
When used with the infant insert ($70), which worked well even with a 2.5 year old, it will take your child from intro to solids at six months right through to high school — and beyond — supporting up to 250 pounds. The only downside is that there are but two wood stains available. 5 Best High Chairs > Keekaroo Height Right http://www.canadianfamily.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Keekaroo-Height-Right-150x120.jpg http://www.canadianfamily.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Keekaroo-Height-Right.jpg http://www.canadianfamily.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Keekaroo-Height-Right.jpg 400 259 http://www.canadianfamily.ca/kids/baby/review-5-best-high-chairs/slide/keekaroo-height-right/ keekaroo-height-right 0 0 155125 Nuna ZAAZ
