High Chairs -- simple is best By Matt Rexroad on Sunday, September 23, 2007 @ 8:28 PM :: 0 Comments :: Blog   Jenn and I have learned a number of lessons as parents.  The most recent one involved high chairs. Lesson: Don't buy the big expensive high chair.  Go to IKEA. For $25 you get a superior product that will make your life easier. Adam is a slob.  Abbie keeps everything nice and neat.  When Adam eats food ends up everywhere. Despite numerous cleanings his high chair has so many grooves and pockets that food and nastiness collects in there.  This is the high chair that reclines, has padding, and a removable tray. When Jenn and I got it we thought we were treating our kids right with a comfortable place to eat.  I bet it cost $200. A few weeks ago I took my first trip to the West Sacramento IKEA.  The high chair we found there does not look as cool but it is a much better product.  It can actually be easily cleaned after every meal -- and Adam seems to like it just fine. I have a picture of the expensive nasty chair and the inexpensive clean chair attached. This really is a no-brainer now but it seemed like a good idea at the time.  The nasty chair.  We probably still have strawberries from the Ramming's  farm stuck in this nasty chair. The clean chair.
