Before you shop, ask your friends if they have a high chair they love. Once you're in a store, test the chairs to find one with a tray that you can operate with one hand.

Chicco Pocket Snack Booster Seat Rose Chicco Pocket Snack Booster Seat Rose Chicco Up To 5 Booster Seat - Grey Extremely ergonomic and extremely sleek, this new chair grows with baby from 6 months to 3 years and folds flat to under 11 inches wide. A curved backrest helps baby learn to sit upright, and the table fits snugly against his or her belly to prevent food from slipping through. With a simple push and pull, the eight-level high chair becomes small enough to fit under the table for storage. But it's so bright and cheery, you might want to leave it out all the time. Light, foldable and complete with a dishwasher-safe meal tray, the Poppy is a cushy, sleek bright-hued number that transforms “from high chair to my chair,” adapting from infant seat to toddler chair. This high chair certainly stands out for its style, but its practicality and eco-friendly design are selling points too. It grows to accomodate kids from 6 months to young adult, and is made with sustainable wood and a lead-free finish.
Another high chair that grows with baby and becomes an adult-friendly seat, this one barely ever looks like baby gear in the first place. The no-crevice design means no trapped crumbs. And since each plastic part is dishwasher-safe, messes don't stand a chance. Because this high chair has the same mechanism as a chair at the hairdresser’s, it’s super easy to adjust to any table height. You’ll also love that it’s a breeze to clean–it doesn’t have any cracks or crevices so you don’t have to worry about crumbs getting stuck. When your food tray features a streak of chevron, you know you're making a style statement. (Plus, that tray is dishwasher-safe.) Featuring six height adjustments, built-in bib storage and front wheels for easy transport, the little details make this budget-friendly high chair a steal. Sit back, relax and enjoy mealtime together. The Siesta makes it happen, bringing baby right to the table with five recline positions, including a naptime-friendly flat position.
