Hi Moms,
I have finally narrowed down my high chairs to the Boon Flair high chair or the Anka Svan high chair.
Boon: http://www.booninc.com/products/Flair
Anka: http://www.ankababystore.com/
Two completely different high chairs. Moms if you're familiar with either one of these chairs please let me know what your feelings are on it. Also, there might be other useful features which I never considered so feel free to bring them up.
This is what I have gathered so far:
Boon Pros:
- Wheels/casters make it easier to move around eg dining table to kitchen
- Adjustable height
- Modern design
Boon Cons:
- Large footprint
- Heavier (I will be sending the high chair overseas with me via air freight so weight is a factor)
Anka Pros:
- Small foot print, not bulky, lighter
- Legs fold for compact storage
- Adjustable footrest
Anka Cons:
- No wheels
- Looks like the restaurant high chairs
- Seat height not adjustable
Also, how long did your child use his/her high chair for? I looked at high chairs that "grow" with the baby until they are 4 or 5 yo. But does a 4 or 5 yo want to sit in a high chair or would they rather sit in the same chair mommy and daddy sit in? I was thinking about it as a long term investment but maybe I dont need to.
Thanks as always for all your help!
