Best High Chair: Peg Perego Siesta

Your high chair needs to be the utility player of your baby gear team: It should withstand feedings, cleanings, messes and more through many stages and (often) many children. With the Peg Perego Siesta on your roster, you’ll be getting an MVP. Here’s why.

What We Love

• Five recline positions (most high chairs only offer three) and nine height options mean baby can join you at the dinner table from the earliest newborn days through toddlerhood
• Caster wheels (that won’t scratch your floors) allow mealtime to be mobile—but a stop and go safety feature means you don’t have to worry about baby rolling away
• The upholstery is stain resistant (‘nuff said) and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth
• It has a sleek design that won’t be an eyesore in your dining room, and the ability to fold flat when you want it out of sight

Summary

It will take your children years to outgrow this durable, functional high chair—and when they do, you might even be a little bummed.
