Graco Classic Wood Highchair

Wooden high chairs are an option if you want a chair that looks more like real furniture, and reviewers say the Graco Classic Wood Highchair is one of the best options. Parents say they like the Graco Classic Wood Highchair's classic design and high-quality construction. There's also good feedback on the removable clear plastic tray cover that protects the wood without hiding it. Wooden high chairs tend to trade beauty for features, however. The Graco Classic Wood Highchair doesn't recline and the crotch post can't be adjusted to fit different-sized babies. It's also more expensive than highly rated plastic models like the Fisher-Price Rainforest High Chair (*Est. $85), which gets top marks for comfort and its full array of features.

The Graco Classic Wood Highchair doesn't get as much coverage as popular plastic high chairs, but there are enough user reviews to provide some insight into how owners feel it performs under real-world conditions. Amazon.com is the best source in terms of both number and quality of posts; Target.com comes in second. There's also a short entry in About.com's grandparents channel, which doesn't mention any testing procedures, but does provide some balance in discussing the Graco Classic Wood Highchair's weaknesses as well as its strengths. Parenting.com's "Mom-Tested Hot High Chairs" roundup is really just a highly positive description of features.
