Svan Highchair

We've only tested them in cafe's and they've been alright, I love my Mocka one too much though!

Me too! That's the problem!

We have one - it's fantastic albeit pricey! We justified the price with the argument that it was a piece of furniture rather than just a 'highchair' - it is good-looking and totally functional too (plus I hate those ugly plastic jobs that seem to be bulk-standard)!

It's still going strong and looks like new after 2 1/2 years and it's "convertibility" is great too - we used it with the tray for ages and then took it off when DS1 was big enough to sit in it at the dining room table. We've just moved DS1 into a mocka tripp trapp style chair and are using the svan for DS2 to sit in with the tray and play while we have dinner.

When we were originally looking at high chairs we were pretty much sold on the tripp trapp chairs until we saw the svan one - I think it's main advantage is that you can use it with or without the tray.

We have one from Farmers, I think it's Jolly Jumper brand. It reclines and the height is adjustable, as well as comes apart easily enough to give it a decent wash-down (which includes soapy finger paint and the hose on occasion!!). That ticked all the boxes for me.
