We've noted Svan's intelligent highchair design before (see moderndaydad's post), but we'll run through the basics: a slick look that moves from 6-month-old babies to 50-pound 5-year-olds, the option of tray or table dining and adjustable seat depth, tray and footrest height. But Anka, the new entry into the Svan family has a few more tempting features, including sustainable design and a much lower price.
First, the "green" jargon. Anka's tray is dishwasher safe and phthaltate and bisphenol-A free. The foam padding in the washable seat cushion is PBDE-free (for those of you wondering what that is, it's a flame-retardant chemical that may or may not be safe--see Wikipedia). The highchair has also been constructed from sustainable wood.
Now, the price. It's just $169.95. It's nice when design, price and useful products align so nicely. (Oh and the thing even folds for easy storage.) Get it at Generation Orange, which is taking pre-orders now for a mid-July ship date.
