High chair shopping

After being a nanny for almost three years maybe more, I know a high chair is pretty important. However before around six months I don't really see the need. It was one of those things that we put off till we needed it. I took awhile to research what I wanted. 

 I knew that I really didn't care for the classic piece of plastic that you push around. It really takes up quite a bit of space and I just don't like the way it looks. Someone I'm close to has wooden hair chairs and I like the look but she claims it to be a pain in the butt. I watch some family vlogs and the Tripp trapp seems to be the "it" high chair. There is also the booster high chair option. Not really a fan of that. 

There are quite a few choices to consider. I really didn't want to spend a ton of money, our budget was to stay under $150. which I believe you can get a quite nice high chair for that price. It was a journey of looking at pictures after pictures until I ultimately went with one that I just couldn't get over.

All of the prices and pictures are from Target. 

graco $140

Like I said above I'm not a huge fan of these "big pieces of plastic" . Every child that I've nannied for before has had something like this. It is pretty easy to clean and move around. Taste wise it's just not my style. 

Stokke $250

This high chair is very trendy. I believe it's called the "forever chair". You can buy accessories for it, like an infant seat or a tray. So it could probably get really expensive. I do like the look and if I had the money I would probably splurge for it. 

chicco Polly $150

If I was going to get a plastic high chair this would be the one I'd pick. I just love chicco products and I like the cushion. I think it's cute. This one reclines and it "grows with child" . I did consider this for awhile. 

 Summer infant $125

And the chosen one! This was the best compromise that I could find. I love the seat design and it's plastic so easy wipe. The wooden look is perfect and sturdy. I just loved the look and Larkin has really enjoyed it so far. I take it outside everyday for lunch and he has the best time. He will stay it in for long periods of time. The only thing that I really could care less about is the strap. It clips from the top and around the waist. Larkin loves to move so I never use the shoulders straps when he is in the stroller or in his hair chair. He would hate it if I did. So I have shoulder straps kind of just hanging down. Other than that it was easy to put together and so far so good . I leave you with pictures of him chowing down!
