Pretty soon Brooke will be starting on solid foods and for that, we need a high chair. We havent yet decided when to start her on solids, but know for sure that one of the first things we need is a place for her to sit!
Consumer Reports last reviewed high chairs in April of 2007 and gave the Graco Contempo 3A00 its highest rating, followed by the Evenflo Epressions Plus.
Consumersearch (a site that pools other ratings) ranked the top chairs in 5 different categories:
Best Overall: Fisher-Price Healthy Care
Budget: Graco Easy Chair
HighChair/Booster that Straps to Dining Room Chair: Fisher-Price Space Saver
Wooden High Chair: Graco Classic Wood
Modern Look: Boon Flair Pedestal
We decided to go with the Graco Contempo for a couple of reasons 1) #1 in safety is important to us and 2) we have a Graco pack-and-play that we love, and that is a permanent fixture in our house ... so now we have a matching set!
Brooke has been practicing sitting in her new high-chair and watching us eat and has been doing great :)
