We have the FP Space Saver. I like it because it reclines, so we're already using it. The cover comes off and goes right in the wash (and the plastic wipes down easily). I also like that it doesn't take any extra room and transports easily. Plus you can always put it on the ground if you want to eat outside.
The only thing I don't like is that although the tray is dishwasher safe, it doesn't fit in our dishwasher.
billyhorrible this is off topic, but I believe you're doing BLW too. I make a lot of soup/stews so use a lot of stock and boullion, do I just buy the low sodium versions? I'm going to stop putting salt otherwise. Also, for introduction, do you still introduce one thing at a time to rule out allergies or just start with whatever we're eating from the start? TIA!
Even with baby food and those not doing BLW you want to start with one food at a time. So you could do carrots for 3 or 4 days, then Cucumbers for 3 or 4 days, then Banannas. and so on.
I said in another thread, ability to clean the high chair is #1 for me and what I hate the most about he one we have. Something that is portable and can convert to a booster would also be nice.
We have the Graco DuoDiner. It reclines, converts, and is easy to clean. Owen's been sitting with us at dinner for about a month now. The tray doesn't fit in our dishwasher. It's a 5 point harness which can be a pain to use but will convert to a 3 point when he's a better sitter.

Definitely do the low sodium (and I think stock is lower than bouillon). A little more time intensive, but easy is just to make your own and omit the salt completely. You can make a ton with just a few bones.
As for introduction, no need to wait for allergies. Just whatever you're eating from the start.
We have the graco duodiner. LO has been sitting in it for about three weeks? We love that we can pull her around the house in it and it all comes apart to clean. She loves watching us wash dishes!
Does LO have to be sitting up to be in a high chair? We have a small apartment without a table, so we got the hook onto the counter high chair. We only tried food once and we did that in her bouncy seat because it's on a slight tilt.

Since we are kinda on the food topic.. I'm getting ready to start food in the next week or so. He is eating rice now. I am planning on making his foods for a little while at least. My pediatrician only said cereal,green veggies, orange veggies, fruits. But I have seen on Pinterest and seen that some purées say 6 month. For example pumpkin... What's the reasoning?

We have a fp space saver, but have only used it a few times so far. MIL got us the chicco pocketsnack booster which will be great for going to the grandparents, etc.

I don't remember exactly which one we have (we got from either BRS or Buy Buy Baby)... however... my biggest advice is to get leather as opposed to cloth for ease of cleaning. Ours is a high chair/booster seat combo which is nice. What I don't like about the booster seat is that it doesn't have a strap to strap G in, so he tries to crawl out of his booster seat, stand on it, etc etc. But, I'm also not sure if it's normal to not have a waist strap on a booster seat?
At any rate... I don't recall ours being crazy expensive or anything... I think it was very middle of the line, and possibly a Graco one?
Joolschweets, what do you think of the Summer Infant chair?? You just got it recently, right?
Yes, got it a few days ago! So far, so good. I like the look of it, its pretty sturdy and he seems comfy in it. I'm glad it's not flimsy like some are. I see what you mean about baby slumping to one side, but he tends to do this in any seat at the moment. The real test is going to be how easy it is to clean when he's on food that isn't rice cereal. it looks easy to clean but we'll see... We got it on sale too for $140 CAD so I'm pretty happy with it so far!
Awesome! I'm glad you like it so far. It really is a decent chair, I'm just never happy and want to exchange everything I buy, hahaha.

I'm torn between a hook on high chair and one that sits on a chair. We have an oppressively small condo and I want to conserve space. I am slightly more inclined to a hook on one, especially because I like to hang out at the kitchen island at my in-law's house and it can be easily tucked away. On the other hand, I'm afraid he'll outgrow a hook on high chair faster. Decisions are hard.
