Elegant High Chairs: Ga Ga or Gag?

Having your lil one eat in high style has never been easier.

Having your lil one eat in high style has never been easier. Baby stores are filled with design-winning high chairs to ensure that new eaters' seats don't look anything like the one's their mamas sat in. Parents-to-be looking for high-end chairs can find a variety of modern designs, but few choices to may match traditional decor.

Nicole Reid's collection of wooden high chairs may make traditionalists swoon. The hand-carved, solid kiln dried Mahogany chairs are made to order to complement a home's decor. After choosing either an oval or sleigh-shaped chair, parents select a stain that matches the rest of their dining chairs, a fabric back (that can be embroidered with a child's name) and then a leather-like vinyl drop-in seat that is easily removed for clean up. Such customization comes at a price though, the seats start at $775.
