Stokke Tripp Trapp (with Baby Set)
A beech chair with an adjustable seat and footrest that pulls up to your table and lasts into adulthood.

The Tripp Trapp is the premium pick because it does one thing better than anything else: the seat and footrest both adjust, so your child sits upright at the family table from about 6 months right through school age and beyond. It is solid beech, and owners talk about it lasting through several children. The costs add up, though — the chair, the Baby Set you need for under-3s and the tray are all sold separately. CHOICE found it harder to clean than a cheap chair, sauces can stain the harness, assembly is fiddly, and you need tools to change the height. Worth it if you want one chair for many years; overkill if you just need a place to start solids.
