The Product: Highchair

Featured Merchants

The Baby Trend HighChair is a knock off of the popular Fisher Price Healthy Care High Chair, however this a case where I think the copy actually offers more features than the original at a better price. I actually prefer my in laws Baby Trend to our own Healthy Choice High Chair for a variety of reasons. The first feature which I like better is the taller bar between the baby’s legs, which helps prevent your baby or toddler from jumping out in those brief few seconds between the time that you take off the cover and try to pick them up. It's almost as if they are programmed to lurch at exactly this moment and we have had a few close calls. The Baby Trend seat also has a sliding mechanism for attaching and removing the tray which is more sturdy than the Fisher Price snap-on mechanism. Most models come with two washable covers, which are typically only available on more expensive models.

Notable Features:

• 6-position height adjustment
• Reclining seat
• Removable, washable and reversible seat pad.
• Removable dishwasher safe tray (this is a must have)
• Wheels
• Five point harness
• Folds easily and compactly for travel or storage

For all of the above features and a price that is less than $100, this highchair is a great value.

Devil's Advocate:

I'd also suggest that you check out the Stokke Tripp Trapp Highchair which may be a better option for your toddler depending on your space needs.
