Svan Highchair: Sleek and Space-Saving

Unlike other baby gear that you might pull out every once in a while to use, a high chair is usually a fixture in the kitchen and gets used multiple times a day. So while it’s important for it to be practical, it doesn’t hurt for it to be easy on the eyes too.

The Svan Chair by Scandinavian Child is the perfect blend of functionality and fashion. Here’s why I’m a fan:

Gorgeous: Constructed from birch wood, the Svan Chair is available in 5 different finishes (whitewash, natural, cherry, mahogany, and espresso) which means you can choose a color that compliments your kitchen or even seamlessly blends in. You can also choose from 12 different cushion colors for added comfort and a nice pop of color.

Space-saving: True, it’s no hook-on high chair, but for a traditional high chair it’s got a pretty small footprint – 19 x 18 x 33.5″ – or about the same size as a normal kitchen chair.

Easy to clean: Each seat comes with a plastic tray cover which is easy to wipe down and is dishwasher safe. Since the rest of the highchair is constructed of smooth pieces of wood, the Svan chair has fewer places for crumbs and drips to hide making it a breeze to keep clean. (The cushion is also easy to remove and machine washable.)

Design: The design of the Svan chair keeps it stable and balanced, and the lack of bulk makes it easy to pull the chair up close to the table – even right up to the table with the tray removed.

Long-range use: With the removable tray and guard rail and the ability to change the seat depth and footrest height, the Svan chair will work from infancy (roughly 6 months) up to adulthood.

The Svan Chair isn’t cheap ($280, not including the cushion), but they look stunning, hold up beautifully (you’ll definitely be able to use them for multiple kids) and can last a child from infancy on up.

With my third now big enough to start noshing on smashed bananas and pureed pears, he’s quite content doing it it in the Svan (he even hangs out in it while I’m making dinner!) – and I’m thrilled to have a sleek, space-saving high chair that blends into my kitchen.
