The Basic Wooden High Chair:
The traditional wooden high chair is probably going to look
the best with your kitchen or dining room furniture. Ease of
cleaning is probably the most important feature for a high chair
and wooden high chairs are easy to keep clean. You'll want to make
sure the chair has a good harness restraint to keep baby from
climbing out. Make sure the tray has a good secure mechanism. Some
wooden chairs will come with a plastic tray. It's not as pretty,
but a little more practical. You'll probably want to buy a pad for
your wooden highchair. See the
Highchair
Pads page. |

The Tripp Trapp:
This is a Norwegian high chair that warrants its' own
category. There are many copies, but this is the high quality
original. The chair has an innovative assembly that allows you to
adjust the seat as the baby grows. In the European tradition, the
baby sits up to the table with the rest of the family. Later the
chair can be used by toddlers or teens as a bar stool or a desk
chair. The curved back makes it the most comfortable wooden chair
you will ever sit in (can you tell I like it). |

alone Tripp Trapp doesn't look like a regular highchair or
booster seat. That's because it's far more. This wood chair

counter, or computer desk. The seat and footrest easily adjust
vertically and horizontally, so you can get the right fit as
