Advantages: has different heights which means that you can have baby at the right height for you feeding
Disadvantages: Hard to clean, expensive

...After having a wooden high chair which was bulky and not very practical for our Daughter, we decided to invest in a new chair for our Son! After a lot of looking about we were both won over by M&P Prima Pappa! It is available in a range of pram shops, John Lewis, The M&P's Shops and Toys R us! The prices vary around the shops as sometimes they have special offers on. It mostly retails at around £99.99, but when we got ours it was on offer for £89.99! The Prima Papa is a high chair which folds up and can then be stored in a cupboard or like us by the side of the dining room table! It also comes in a 3 position back rest, which enables you to use it from a young age! We used it from around 14 weeks as our little man would get upset whenever we tried to eat dinner without him. The chair in the tilted position meant that he... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, easy to clean, good posture for baby
Disadvantages: None except you have to go to Ikea to get it

...under £25 for the whole set. Comparing this to around £100 for one which my friend bought (I believe M&P). 2. It is really easy to clean! The chair is one piece of solid plastic, which wipes clean very easily with a wet cloth/baby wipe. In comparison to those with plastic padding which I find have many nooks and crannies for bits of weetabix to get lost in. The tray is a good squarish shape which is also really easy to wipe with a wet cloth/baby wipe. 3. You can bring the chair right up to the table! I.e. if you don't want to use the tray, the chair comes right up to the table so that your little one can be part of the mealtime, like everyone else. 4. Baby sits upright, instead of slanting backwards! In terms of negatives, the only things which a person might not like about it are: 1. It doesn't fold. However, we... Read review

Advantages: baby to adult use; good posture
Disadvantages: chair can be flipped by child; difficult to get cushions off

...My husband found this chair and we have been very happy with it. We live in a small house and have no where to store a high chair so we got this chair in black (to match our table) and it stays at the table with our chairs. Our son is now 12 months old and we have been using it with him since he was 6 months. We have never used the restraints on it and our son has always sat very upright in it. Other high chairs that he has sat in, he has slumped forward in. This one keeps him in excellent posture. It sits right up to the table and is a perfect height. He sits with us at the table at lunch and dinner and he feels more part of the family. The Tripp Trapp is supposed to encourage good eating habits and manners from an early age as the baby eats at the table with you instead of to the side with a tray. The cost is justified...

Advantages: Excellent quality, really solid, baby can join in family meals at the table
Disadvantages: Personally haven't found any yet.....

...I'm so pleased with this chair! The Tripp Trapp is a Swedish design which has been developed in order to grow with your baby right through to adulthood. They have been around for ages, and I know various family friends who have had the same chair(s) for twenty-five years, now using them at the computer or still at the kitchen table. So the longevity of a product like that is a distinct advantage, particularly since with highchairs the usual shelf-life is so short and they end up in the loft / cellar after a few years. The quality of the wood, and the design, contributes to this longevity. It really feels solid. You have to build it yourself but it's only a few parts and the instructions are very easy to follow. If you're buying for a baby then you need to buy the baby kit, which comprises of a higher curved back and a front... Read review
