Think of it as a high chair for regular chairs. The Grow Up ($59) nestles into any big-boy (or big-girl) chair and brings them up to your level at the table. It fits children from newborn to 4 years old, so it’s never too early or too late for them to eat with you. And how important is inclusion to them? You don’t want them to be social lepers like you were, right? Well, let them Grow Up!
Okay, your baby really shouldn’t be saddled up to the bar. But with the Tavo High Chair ($345), they’ll practically have their own bar stool. This sleek, cushy chair pushes right up to the table for some serious milk drankin’ with friends. Solid maple base, upholstered easy-wipe bonded leather and T-bar means total comfort and classic basement bar style. Set ‘em up and break out the Velcro darts.
Excellent! Phil & Ted’s Me Too Chair ($49.95) just made the high chair obsolete. Just attach baby to the table! This chair is tough enough to take it. It’s tough-but-lightweight aluminum, with a three-point harness and washable aluminum seat. It hooks on to any table with a rubber padded C-clamp, and comes in black, navy or red. Dining just got a whole lot easier.
You’ve heard of High Chairs? Well, welcome to the Transitions Low Chair from Foundations. ($99.95) The Low Chair puts baby in charge of getting in and out, encouraging motor movement skills and independence. (Sounds good already, right?) It’s got three reclining positions with a five-point harness and a footrest and two bottle holders on a removable, dishwasher-safe tray. The seat cushion is also removable and washable. Let baby take care of themselves (to an extent) at dinner tonight.
The Nest High Chair ($570) may be the only high chair your child will ever need, because it adapts to their growing needs every step. It’s a 3-in-1 concept: Nest Dine (six months – two years) telescopes to 32” with tray for table dining; Nest Boost (two years – four years) takes the tray away; Nester (four years – six years) goes low and converts to a hip floor chair. Not convinced? Read more in US Weekly, Parenting or Celebrity Living. Or ask Angelina Jolie. (You probably don’t have her number, but she loves the Nest High Chair.)
Y’know those lifty thingies that boost your car up at the garage? Imagine having one of those for baby at the dinner table. Imagine the Boon Flair High Chair. ($199.95) This sleek chair has a pneumatic lift for effortless height adjustment. Its huge pedestal means maximum stability, and six scratch-free casters and a hands-free braking system mean easy movement. And it’s sharp, with a frosted glass seat and metallic base. Runs from newborn to 4 years or 50 lbs. Oil change not included.
The Tripp Trapp High Chair from Stokke ($199.90) is the only chair your child will ever need. It’s literally designed for use from newborn to adult. A solid beechwood frame provides stability. Start with the footrest and five-point harness. As baby grows, the footrest will become the seat. And multiple color and cushion options and you’ve got a chair that never grows old. Your child will love this heirloom piece all through their life.
