TABLE TOPIC 2 : Easy Clean

From top: Oxo, Sprout high chair, 11908, $250; Nuna, Zaaz high chair, 14824, $250; Stokke, Tripp Trapp high chair, 9027, $250

One of the biggest concerns with high chairs, since table manners are not included, is the ease of cleaning. You want to look for chairs with minimal or no crevices, easily removable pieces, and materials that can be swiftly wiped down après-lunch.

OUR PICKS

The Nuna Zaaz features a no crevice design and also has removable dishwasher safe parts. The Oxo Sprout is made of molded plastic and can be wiped down quickly with a damp cloth.

TABLE TOPIC 3 : Long Lasting

When you invest in a design piece, you want to be able to use it for the duration. They’ll all take you through the high chair years (usually 6 months-3 years) and some can be used long after.

Bloom, Fresco Chrome high chair, 1520, $550

OUR PICKS

Where the Bloom Fresco Chrome has the front end, as the only one from 0+, the Stokke Tripp Trapp and Nuna Zaaz can be used from toddler to adult, each holding over 200 pounds. Both of these chairs can saddle right up to the table or can be used as a “satellite solution” (our words) where baby is backed up from the table with a tray.

TABLE TOPIC 4 : Easy to Store

Practically you’re not putting your high chair away that much, as babies and toddlers eat frequently! But, if you’re shopping for a solution for a second home or for grandma’s house, she’ll appreciate a chair that folds down to fit in a closet.

OUR PICKS

We love the slim pack-ability of the Nano by Bloom. It folds right up and is easy to store in a closet when not in use.
