A High Chair That Lasts

July 6, 2009; 6:00 am by Joyce Slaton

babylon-chair.jpgBefore a baby can talk and walk, he won’t object to being strapped to a bright plastic chair with a tray. But as soon as baby hits the preschool years, he won’t want to be in a baby chair. That’s why the Argington Babylon Toddler High Chair is so useful. Sleek and simple, it looks nothing like a baby chair. Indeed, it’s not: the chair holds upwards of 250 pounds, so it can be pressed into service as an adult chair as well. The seat and footrest are both adjustable, no tools required, so you can lower your child as he grows, or lift him up to the height of a countertop to eat.

The chair comes with an optional infant tray kit with restraints, but once you’re past the restraining years, it can be removed entirely. What you’re left with is a sophisticated seat that even a grownup can like.

The Babylon chair is made from wood grown in a managed, renewable forest, and finished with non-toxic paints.

Argington Babylon Toddler High Chair, $198
