what's new in highchairs?

[spu]

Last time around, almosst 4 years ago, we bought 2 Primma Pappa DT Rollers, and I couldn't wait to get rid of them! What's the latest in simple EASY to clean highchairs these days? Still a little early for us to go out and purchase, seeing as the baby isn't even born yet, but thought I'd start doing research in advance, esp. with the experts here on the boards!

thanks!!

we are reusing our Chicco Mamma and it's still a pretty darn good high chair. My mom has one of those inexpensive strap on seats with the tray (that straps to an existing chair) and I love it! Their is a new Fisher Price one out now that I would probably buy if I was buying a new highchair!

I've never had a "real" highchair. I just couldn't find one I liked that wasn't the size of a small car. ;)

I used a little one you strap to an adult chair for awhile, then either a Stokke Kinderzeat or a restuarant highchair (wood, stackable). I got the restuarant highchairs from eBay for around $30 each! I love them. They stack in the corner and are very easy to clean. I actually prefer not having a tray to mess with.

I've had my eye on the new Fisher Price Easy Clean high chair...it sounds like it's RIGHT up my alley!

"Looking for a quick and easy way to clean baby’s high chair? Here it is! With the Easy Clean Pad & Strap System, you just press a lever and pop off the straps to remove the pad and clean it! The straps are machine washable and can go in the dishwasher along with the feeding tray. It’s easy to reassemble, too. And with the convenient wipes holder, it’s even easy to keep baby clean!"

The pad is machine washable too.

We have a Chicco Polly and I ADORE it... of course, my dd doesn't EAT yet, lol...but it's SO easy to recline and adjust the height and the table comes off pretty easy and has tray 'covers' so I have essentially three trays for when the messes begin. She's been using it since birth as a napping place, the footrest comes up and the armrests go up or down, it's practically a bassinet and has nice wheels to roll it around. Of course, we have an enormous greatroom/kitchen area, so that's a good thing it's totally multipurpose for us.

look, we propped a kick-gym onto it, lol

We have this same high chair and we are happy with it too. Mia is not self feeding yet, so don't know about a real messy clean up yet. But it just looks really nice with our decor too.

Susan, I have last years version of the Fisher Price easy clean and I really like it. Although with my version there were ruffles on the cushion that food tends to get stuck in...yuck. otherwise I really like that I can adjust it up or down, the seat can go back or forward. And it comes with three trays that can be machine washed! My year the colors were LOUD...but the one Jo has posted looks good!

I was looking into getting this to replace our FP Healthy Care but it is so flimsy. I set Tyler in it and thought it would fall apart. The tray was difficult to get on and off with one hand because it was so flimsy. I prefer the old FP Healthy Care as opposed to the easy clean. The ruffle is a pain but at least it is a sturdy chair.

I'm loving my Fisher Price Space Saver! It straps on to our regular dining chairs, is height adjustable, and has a 3-position recline. I love that the pad has NO RUFFLES and is easy to take off and clean. I also like that the tray is one piece, with no awkward crevices to clean.
