Which High Chairs?

I am looking for high chairs for my twin girls and there are so many out there that I am confused. I have the Fisher Price feeding seats, but the way my house is laid out I think that I need high chairs that are on wheels so I can wheel them to the room that I need them in. I also need them to recline for when they are drinking their bottles. And the height to adjust and the wheels to lock when in place. I don't want them to be too large b/c my house is small.

Can anyone recommend a high chair to me (and not the Peg Perego b/c that is just too expensive for me)???

Thanks soooo much for your advice!

This Chicco Polly one has the features you are looking for. I am very happy with it. Dont forget that if you get it from BRU you can get the twin 10% discount.

I love the Graco Contempo chairs that we got for Christmas. Yes, it's the one that was recalled. I have the recall packet already and if you get one now it may even come with the recall piece. They have locking casters, recline (3 positions), 6 different height positions and I think one of my fave things is that they fold up to 8.5" deep, about 24" wide and 40" high (with the tray in place) so they really take up no space when not in use. The tray has a removable insert for easy cleanup too.

I am totally in love with our Chicco Polly Highchairs. I ordered them online at albeebaby.com and they were about $95 each with no tax and free shipping. (Best price out there that I could find!) The patterns are gorgeous (not cartoonish like many out there), and have every feature you could want:
- The height is adjustable with one hand
- It reclines in several positions (one hand!)
- The tray can be removed and the arms folded up to be pulled up to any size table (the height adjusts to work with any table)
- It has a 5-point harness - No baby would fall out of the high chair if you're using this harness
- It has a snap on cover for the tray that easily comes off and fits into the dishwasher
- It folds up incredibly small and can store in a small space
- The wheels can lock

I ordered the Woodstock pattern. One of my friends ordered the Iceberg and she loves it. My sister in law got the Notting Hill pattern - she loves hers. After seeing ours in action, all our family/friends who are expecting or ready to move to highchairs have ordered them as well!

 

I love the Fisher Price Easy Clean, we got it as a gift. Its great. Seat height adjustment, Tray height adjustment, seat recline, wheels and a tray that can be snapped off to go in the dishwasher (double tray)

 

We love our Fisher-Price Aquarium high chairs. They recline & come with cool toys. We've had them nearly 6 months and no complaints.
The babies must think they are comfy because we put them in there to play while we are cooking/cleaning in kitchen and they don't mind a bit.

Only drawback- they don't match kitchen, but still worth it.

 

I use a very different high chair. I have a Stokke with infant bar and have used it from 6 months onwards. It doesn't have a tray (which I love) and my oldest sat at the table from day 1 (the way I prefer it). It grows with your child, she still uses it, can climb on it herself, etc. It's more expensive, but in the end you save money since this is all you need for the next years to come! Oh, and it looks nice, not too big.

I plan to buy another one for one of the twins, and move my oldest to a booster cusion, so that I don't have to invest in 2 more. My oldest is pretty laid back so I am not to scared to do that.

 

Hi, we just bought 2 evenflo expressions. They were onsale
for $66 each! They are great. Wheels,reclines, double dishwashable tray,multiple heights, snug harnass system. I'm pleased.

I had the safety first 3 in 1 seats that go right on your kitchen chairs and HATED them. I just bought the evenflo chairs and love them. I got them from kmart for 50 bucks each. I'm not sure what the exact model is but they are great!

 

We had the evenflo discovery high chairs. I hated them so much! I couldn't even sell them to anyone when we were done because I would have felt guilty passing it on to someone. I just gave them away to some desperate people on craigslist but was upfront that they were awful seats. Don't get those!

 

Graco Harmony has wheels, reclines, and is height adjustable. It comes with a little tray and two big trays. I really like them. I had another Graco for my son and loved that one. That is the main reason I got the Harmony. I think its $90 w/10% off at BRU w/the twins discount.

Same here!!!!

 

Could those of you that hated the Evenflo high chairs tell me why?? I am just wondering b/c they are very affordable.....Thanks!

 

I have babytrend high chairs from 2005, which were pretty cheap, and were the closest to the peg ( which was want I really wanted )
The cool thing is they recline, which has been an awesome feature because I put my new baby in it and wheel him around the house with me when I'm doing chores. P

 

I also have the Fisher Price Aquarium high chairs and my kids don't mind them...I like them because they have a 3 position recline and a height adjustment so you could put them up to the table once you're ready!

 

I went to k-mart and i"m not sure of the brand but it's their Sesamee street brand. I love them.. They werent to expensive, the tray has the one handed release which is nice. They have a snack tray and a basket that goes below them, a "rag" holder on the side, wheels and they recline. The only thing is that htey dont adjust to heights but it's at a decent hight anyways. i bought two and put them in lay away before the babies were born. I think they were like 45$ each and they clean up easy.

 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my First Years Feeding Seats!! They recline and fit under the table like a chair (because they are on the chair) and don't take up a ton of space and are not $$$!! Perfect!

That is what we got too and I really like them. I paid even less by a few dollars at Babies R Us. My mom has one like this too that we used with my DS and he is 3 1/2 and still uses it when we are at my mom's house. Two thumbs way up!!!


***About the other evenflo high chairs....We bought an expensive, fancy evenflo high chair for my DS and we hated it also. It seemed like he was in some kind of hole. No matter how big he got he just seemed like he was sinking down or something. BUT....the cheap, evenflo expressions are great!

 

Here it is.
