Svan Chair: A High Chair for the Entire Childhood

Posted by moderndaydad

 

One of the things that Jessica Alba got from Tyra last week is a high chair I think I've seen, but have never really checked out. The Svan Chair looks like it hits all the marks of good baby furniture: functional, convertible as your child grows, beautiful to look at and, considering how long you'll use it, reasonably priced.

Aside from looking good, the best feature of the Svan Chair is how it grows with your child. It starts out as a normal chair with a tray, then when the tray is removed and you can sit your child at the table without fear of having them fall out. Then the seat can be lowered as your child grows. Plus it has a foot rest, giving restless swinging legs a place to be. It's not the cheapest chair at $250, but considering how many years it will be at your kitchen table, it seems with it to me.

Svan High Chair,  around $249.95 (find a retailer at SvanUSA.com).

We have this chair and LOVE it. It's worth every penny - our kitchen doesn't look like a daycare, our daughter can sit at the table with us or have her own tray, it's easy to clean, and it's sturdy enough that she can push it around the kitchen without me worrying she'll tip it over!

Man, I wish we'd bought one of these when we were expecting our first.  Instead we have a 16 year old fisher price, but it was free.

In fairness, we are in Canada, and three years ago the exchange was not at par, more like 70cents on the dollar.  An awful lot of $$ for a high chair.  Still wish I'd seen teh value in it.
