We need to buy a highchair. I generally hate everything in baby colors and prefer dark wood, but I will cave and buy something ugly if it has proven to be the best highchair ever. I plan to keep this thing for all the 10 children I intend to have, so it can either be cheap and disposable OR nice and durable.
What are your eating solutions for your baby? Did you buy plastic or wooden? Which one should I get? Should I try the buckled to a real chair kind?

Isaw this really cool modern one on crate and barrel's kid's website. It's like 200 bones, though. My dark wood one was about $100. From Target!
Oh, and if youre keeping it for all 10 kids...do wood. no plastic.
Oh, get plastic and ugly. I had this super stylish decorator friend and her poor kids had to eat in her old rickety wooden cool looking one and they always slid out and she was always having to tie them in. I'd rather have a cozy, washable big old Graco thing that I can leave my infant in for an hour eating cheerios and not worry about.
Um, kids uglify your life, deal with it. Sol fell out of his wooden high chair and I was going to sue the idiots who made it, but instead gave it to mom and bought a big comfy one. It's a myth that you will keep anything "for all your kids" Sorry, but something new and cooler is always coming out and you will want it. Go with what you want now.
I agree with Paige. However, there is this really cool high chair that converts into a chair. It's some swedish or danish brand it's a little pricey but it's super cool. I think you can find it in the right start catalog or one of those swanky baby stores. If I come across the name of it, i'll let you know
It is the Stokke Tripp Trappe. LOVE it. I only used it with toddlers, not with a baby (and I have the older version). With this new one you can use from about 6 months, and you can buy a tray to attach if you want. Did I say LOVE it? Email me it you want help finding a deal, because there is nothing I love more (Paig has my email).

Wood looks so nice, but do YOU like sitting in a wood chair that traps you? I just couldn't bring myself to make my child so uncomfortable. I also loved all those cool modern-art european types like the stokkes, but my forever-fault is that I can't help but be more practical. And I have a real high chair and the little fisher-price green and blue travel one, which to me, is priceless. You go have dinner at a friend's, you have a place to strap her in with cheerios. You go to a hotel for a week... you're all set. A park, a parking lot, a campsite... anywhere! Don't get the cheaper ones, they break.
btw, it's mardee, not spencer.
