[quote=Anonymous]We have the Svan, and it is going on 6 years (onto child #2). I have no idea what one would do to "trash" a high chair, but the Svan was designed to last until adulthood (it converts from a high chair with a tray, to a toddler seat, to a chair). The reason why I choose the Svan, and am so happy I did, is because 1) the Trip Trap tray is huge (hard to clean in the sink) and useless because it doesn't stick to wood tables; 2) the Fisher Price model, which we had at my moms, is outgrown very quickly. My 50th percentile DS outgrew it at age 2; 3) if you have a rug under the dining table, be careful that the Trip Trap can tip over backwards. The Svan, IMO, has a perfectly sized tray for the high chair that can be cleaned easily in the kitchen sink, is ergonomically designed for each stage of development, has a small footprint, and (as far as I know) doesn't have the tipping problem. I love that even with the tray, the chair can be pulled up to the table somewhat, so that the baby is part of the dining experience. Once you remove the tray, the child can climb into the seat herself and sit at the table with the rest of the family. The Svan cons: adjusting it for each stage can be a pain (but, if you want an ergonomic seat, I don't see a way around this), crumbs do get caught in the crevices (but, you can vacuum them out with the nozzle attachment), and it is pricey. Also, I believe that they are no longer made in Sweden (Thailand, maybe?). [/quote]
