    We have the booster seats and one of our girls just hates it - can't say I blame her, as it does look rather rigid and uncomfortable to sit in. It seems like there are endless varieties of high chairs out there. Does anyone have advice on what features I should be looking for or avoiding, and/or any suggestions? We don't need a "deluxe" model, and in fact would prefer something relatively small (we have a small house), but would like it to clean easily, be comfortable, fold up, and be user-friendly. Thanks in advance, for saving me tonnes of annoying research!

    We love, love, love our fisher price precious planets high chairs. So easy to clean, launder etc. The top tray is removable and can go in the dishwasher. The height is adjustable and there are 3 recline positions. The chairs will also fold up for storage, although we leave them assembled.

    By "booster" seat, do you mean just a bottom? We have the kind of convertable chairs that strap onto our dining room chairs. They have padding, their own tray and can recline. I really like them because they don't take up any extra room and they can push right up to the table, when the girls are ready for that. We used one with our son until he was at least 2.

    This is the one we have:

    avoid the chicco highchairs if you want to be able to use the dishwasher to clean the trays. the trays are technically dishwasher safe, but they are so huge they won't fit in any normal dishwasher.

    love our graco ones-came preassembled and all of the padding/straps come off and i can throw them into our front load washer when needed.

    I have two Chicco chairs & LOVE them! I've never had a problem putting the trays in my dishwasher but they are super easy to just clean in the sink. I love all the different postions the chair can go in as well as height postions....I can actually sit on the floor & lower the chairs to feed them. The fold up very easy & I slip mine in a hallway closet. I highly recommend Chicco! We have the Discovery chairs.

    I bought 2 of the guzzie n guss high chairs - and i LOVE them.
    They are clean looking - the padding comes out in a snap to throw into the wash - adn they fold flat in a second.
    They also happen to come with a very cool carrying case if you ever need to travel with them.

    Here is the link to the chair.

    I bought mine from Dearborne babe in Toronto.(bought it online and had it delivered to the house --- saved me from having to lug 2 high chairs and a stroller to the car)

    I have two fisher price healthy care high chairs and they are not working out great. They have wide bases, so I can't push the two chairs right next to each other and at angles the way I would like to for feeding two at once. Obviously it's not bad enough to get new ones, but if I had to do it over again, I would select models with a narrow base for twins.
