Sit Here!

Three, grown-up décor approved high chairs.

By Christine Coppa

Ever feel like every, single room in your house is your kid's? Yeah, me too: There's a train table in my living room. Ducks in my bathtub. And an art easel in my office. But the kitchen? The kitchen is a meeting, greeting and, yum, eating place--at least in my apartment! (Okay--there's ABC letters on the fridge--and garbage can, but everything else is grown-up, I swear! i.e. The hand-painted martini glasses.) Here my top three, grown-up décor approved high chairs:






Svan: Sleek and stylish, this high chair easily blends in with modern or classic dining room/kitchen furniture. What's more, the tray unclips so you can pull baby right up to the grown-up table. No one puts Baby in the corner! Best of all the seat depth and footrest adjust as your little one grows. For example, when your child is about eight, the footrest has gone as low as it can go, so it becomes the actual seat of the chair and comfortably seats your kid or even a visiting guest. Pull the chair up to the dinner table or computer desk--you decide! Available in 5 flattering finishes and nine cushion colors. Starting at $259.95 (for a lifetime of use!), for more info go to: Svanusa.com




Safety 1st: Should be called space-saver 1st--it folds completely flat. Stash in the pantry or that skinny-mini spare space between the fridge and the wall. The seat pad and headrest are washable and when you start teaching your toddler how to eat with a spoon and a fork you'll really appreciate this option. The tray is dishwasher safe too, so in between wipe downs give it a good ole clean to keep baby's eating area germ-free. $129.99, Safety1st.com

Antilop: Cool lines, taking up minimal space in even the tiniest city kitchenette, this conversation piece is as basic as they come--and that's why I love it. Who needs bells and whistles when you're trying to get your toddler to eat his broccoli and drink his milk? Not me. Not me! Best part? There are virtually no useless nooks and crannies like on other popular plastic frame chairs--and that means you won't spend hours trying to pick crusty food or goopy yogurt out of this and that ridiculous hole or crevice--Grrrr! Wipe it down 1-2-3 with a warm rag or sponge and mild soap. Steal: Only $19.99, at Ikea Stores. Click here for a location near you.
