At first glance this highchair appears to be the perfect find. A highchair that’s pretty enough to sit in your formal living room. When registering for my first child, I was dying to find something like this. Let’s call them “transitional” baby items. Ones that don’t scream “baby lives here.” I am thrilled I never followed through. (Tot Snob note: I bought the Peg Perego Prima Poppa and LOVE it.) This thing would have been terrible. It looks like it has an identity crisis: Am I a highchair or am I a bar stool? How they got the baby to smile for the picture is beyond me. She looks uncomfortable. I’m sure the bow that is larger than her head doesn’t help either. The photographer must have been dangling some sparkly jewels by the camera. Anyhow, the seat has no adjustments and sits at a perfect 90 degree angle. Mrs. Manners was definitely behind the design. Thankfully, this child is old enough to sit up straight. What would happen to your six month old? What if his or her head doesn’t clear the tray? The safety strap looks more awkward than functional. However, if you are still sold in form over function, you can custom order this chair in a variety of finishes and seat choices for $895 from Posh Tots.
So, Mom Snobs is this highchair snob or slob?
