high chairs

So we are ready to buy some high chairs and have been looking but not sure about which is one of the better ones. We need one to recline and fold easily. My twins are boy/girl so I would like them to either be the same or maybe the same style but one blue and one pink??

So what do you guys have and why do you like them??

 

We have/had these space saver chairs. They were perfect for bottle feeding and helped the boys learn to use sippies. I just (as in yesterday) put them upstairs as they don't fit under our table and the boys don't really need the trays anymore. I highly recommend them but they don't fold up like you said you wanted. Have you look at the high chairs at IKEA? They are good prices and one of them folds but they don't recline.

 

We just have the Graco highchairs that match with their Quattro Tour and infant seats.

 

We have the Fisher Price ones too Great deal and the boys love them!

 

We have the Safety First Five Stage feeding seat, it does recline but does not fold up. I find them easy to clean and they have grown with the kids. Good luck with your search!

 

In my opinion the perfect space saving high chair is the Graco fold up one...ours is called Graco Contempo. They fold up pretty flat (6-7 inches wide). We have a small eat in kitchen and I'm able to fold these up very easily and store them. (Our kitchen table is pushed up to the wall and so I just pulled the table out about 6 inches and they slide right back there. I take them out for each meal and then fold them right back up and it's easy! The colors are fine for boys or girls....we have 2 girls. We had tried to get the Fisher Price ones but they didn't save much space for us as they would not fit under the table and would stick out into the middle of the room. I debated for months on whether or not to get these high chairs and every day I'm happy that we did.

That's my suggestion and HUGE vote of "love them" too!

I had one from my older dd and loved it, love how they fold up so small you can slide them against a wall and they aren't stuck out in the middle of the floor! They recline great for all the way to infants, have a 5 pt harness, one hand release tray with tray insert that's dishwasher safe, and you can connect 2 graco toys to the tray on the sides. Love my contempo's!

 

We have Fisher Price, Rain Forest and Precious Planet. Rain Forest was given to us and we bought the Precious Planet (thought it was cute). If I had to do it over I would have got another Rainforest or one with a plastic cover, not cloth like the precious planet. It is a real pain getting the food off. I can just wipe the rain forest one down and its clean the other needs washing. Both recline to bottle feed.

 

I have the Fisher Price Rainforest one from my older dd and then we were given a pink and gray Graco one. I don't like the Graco one as much because it doesn't fold up nor is there an extra top tray. The FP one folds up, can be lowered or pushed up in height, and has the extra removable tray (nice for cleaning).

 

I have to agree with pp about the Graco Contempo. I love this highchair. It is great and so easy to use. My girls have been in it since they were 4 months. My girlfriend just had twins and she ended up getting this highchair after she saw mine!

 

we splurged on the svan high chairs because i wanted a dedicated high chair with a small footprint. i love that it will work as they grow. i'm happy with them, but they don't recline.. that's okay for us because i have the svan bouncers, too, which are good for bottlefeeding and they last through toddlerhood.

at grandmas we have the FP healthy care boosters. they clean up quick and work well.

 

We have Evenflo Expressions. They recline and fold and are easy to clean up. They weren't too pricey. Also, they are on wheels, which makes it nice to roll them out to the kitchen for the "Mommy's making a salad" or "Mommy's making dinner" show.

 

Whatever you get- don't get cloth!! I can't believe they even sell them with cloth because what infant/toddler isn't going to totally trash their high chair, especially when they start to feed themselves? We got a hand me down high chair and it's cloth and it's a major pain to clean. I'll admit it doesn't go in the washer as often as it should but who has the time? The other high chair has a plastic cover and it's way easier!! Good luck!

 

We have a space saver which is great and then the wal mart brand high chair, I think it was $39 or something like that. It gets the job done and I've been very happy with both of them. We switch who sits where at feedings so we have a blue and a tan one but to be honest color didn't even cross my mind when we bought them. Hope you find a good one!

 

My only suggestion is to get plastic/vinyl for cleaning purposes! I have one from older ds as well as one that was given to us. I haven't tried it out yet but I know it reclines. It's a Peg Perego.

 

I bought the expensive fisher price chair for my oldest sone that reclines. It takes up a lot of space... for my twin girls, I just got white plastic high chairs from IKEA. Very cheap and looks nice, easy to clean and take up less space than my fisher price chair. They don't recline and don't have wheels but I am not missing those features at all. I can stack them as well.

 

We also have these chairs and love them. We have b/g twins and found a neutral pattern. The chairs came with an infant insert (which I loved), they recline in case one baby ends up sleeping instead of eating, and the chairs are relatively easy to clean.
