Having had our house invaded with kids toys (as Im sure everyone does) we were looking for a highchair which had a mixture of looking a bit more 'grown up' (ie not yet another piece of plastic in the sitting room!) but was comfortable and practical for our baby.

Having researched a lot we chose the Svan high chair and I must say we're very, very happy with it. It looks like a nice piece of furniture rather than a horrible piece of tat stuck in the corner of your room. The covers are easy to change / wash / remove, its fully adjustable and, importantly, the first time we used it our daughter absolutely loved it and sat in her new chair looking really proud of herself.

It also can be used as a 'normal' chair for your kids as they grow up apparenlty - ours isnt old enough to test this out yet, but I like the concept that it will have some longevity.

The only negative comment I think I would say about it is the price. Its much more expensive than the usual run of the mill high chairs, but I do think you get what you pay for in this instance, and if your budget stretches to it and you want a piece of furniture in your house rather than another piece of kids gear Id definitely say consider it
