The chic colors — black, white and silver — add a bit of glamour to the kitchen. With innovative features and smart technology, the conceptual design is sure to be a conversation piece. Top Modern High Chairs Traditional: This is the style most people think of when they picture a high chair.
That's because it has universal design appeal, fitting perfectly in any classic kitchen space. Typical features include wheels for easy maneuverability, a storage compartment, feeding tray, footrest and a patterned seat. Top Traditional High Chairs Wooden: A wooden high chair may complement your dining furniture and become an heirloom that's passed down through the generations. The finishes — choose from cherry, walnut, natural and more — add warmth and charm, working with both modern and traditional decor themes. Best of all, they last for years. Some even easily transform from high chairs to actual chairs that adults can use too. Top Wooden High Chairs Boosters: Once your child has graduated from the high chair, it's time for a booster. These compact seats boost your child up to table height making them feel more like the big kid they're becoming. Often made of cushiony materials, boosters are extra comfortable and easy to clean. Travel/Hook-on chairs: These chairs are perfect for on-the-go families, traveling easily from home to a favorite restaurant to a far-away vacation destination.
Usually less than five pounds, hook-on chairs clamp easily to most tables so baby is closer to eye level during mealtime. Most fold compactly or flat and come with a travel bag too. And at reasonable prices, you can leave one at home and one at Grandma's house too. Boon Flair: Say goodbye to pesky crumbs. Stokke Tripp Trapp: Grows with your child up to adulthood Fisher-Price SpaceSaver: It's all in the name. Inglesina Fast: Folds flat, travels light.

Because you know this will be in your house for a few years, it’s important to pick a good one!A high chair is a must-have for most parents once a baby starts eating solids. With many high chairs on the market featuring all the bells and whistles, it may be hard to choose the one that you think will be best for your family. To help navigate your way through what is and isn’t necessary, I always tell parents that my top three high chair features are:2) An easy-to-remove tray (and a snap on tray liner is always a great bonus!)3) If it will grow with your child without sacrificing quality, you have found gold.Whether you are looking for a full-featured, compact or just great-to-look at high chair, here are our favorites.
Chicco Stack 3 n 1 High ChairThe new Chicco Stack 3-in-1 High Chair has all of my must-have features. This multi-stage highchair features 3 different modes to grow with your child, and is suitable for babies 6 months up to children 3+ (60 lbs).It starts out as a full-featured high chair, then converts to a booster seat and finally can be used as a youth stool for your child 3 and up. So instead of having to store it away when your baby outgrows the typical full-size high chair stage around their second birthday, the Chicco Stack is just getting started.

(We can’t confirm that though!)The Tripp Trapp is not only a high chair made out of beautiful, environmentally-friendly wood, but designed to be stylish and last a lifetime. This high chair can be used starting at 6 months (when the child can sit up unassisted) up through adulthood.
With easy adjustments, this chair grows with your child, making it a staple in your kitchen decades longer than a traditional baby high chair. Because we don’t like to put baby in the corner, we like that it allows her to join the family at the dinner table from her first day of solid foods.

Watch the Baby Gizmo Boon Flair Video Review.This versatile baby chair is very similar to their popular Tatamia but is $50 cheaper because it does not have the manual swing feature. The Siesta is still packed with features that makes this chair great from birth up to about 3 years old. Watch the Baby Gizmo Peg Perego Siesta High Chair Video Review.The Inglesina Gusto High Chair is not only beautiful to look at (you won’t find any monkeys or characters on this baby!) but is stocked with baby and parent-friendly features such as a big tray, reclining seat, adjustable footrest and compact fold.
