Top Modern High Chairs

If you're looking for a high chair that is just plain cool, the Flair high chair from Boon may be a great choice. Not only does it look great, with sleek, modern appeal, it has convenience features that make it a true winner. The height adjusts by pneumatic lift, like a office chair.

The seat pad is removable for easy cleaning and the chair itself has no crevices where food can get stuck, so cleanup is much easier. Two dishwasher-safe tray liners are included. Comes with a white seat pad or an elite version with orange and gray seat pads.

Maclaren's Starck high chair has the graceful lines of an adult dining chair and a gorgeous premium quilted fabric cover that makes it at home in almost any kitchen or dining room. Available in gray, yellow or cream. The Starck high chair is made to travel, too. The legs easily come off and the high chair itself folds very small. A travel bag is even included. A dishwasher safe snack tray allows easy cleanup. The foot rest is a little smaller on this high chair than some, so it may not be as comfy for older babies or toddlers. There is no anti-submarine bar built into the chair, either, though there is a 5-point harness, which should be used at all times, particularly without the anti-submarining feature.

The stable base allows toddlers to step up into the chair on their own. The wood finishes wipe clean easily and the tray is dishwasher safe. If you choose to use the Svan cushions, they can be washed and dried as delicates or wiped clean for small messes.

Older babies can use the high chair in a traditional way with the tray and anti-submarine post. Toddlers can use the chair without the tray to sit at the adult table. Adjustable foot rest, washable microsuede cover, enclosed casters and very cool pneumatic lift mechanism make this high chair easy to use and very easy to look at.
