A modern birchwood convertible that comes with everything and grows into a toddler chair once the tray comes off.
Lalo's The Chair is the design-forward pick that's all over new-parent feeds, and unlike some pretty chairs it actually includes the pieces you need: a wipeable cushion, dishwasher-safe tray, and adjustable footrest all come in the box. It converts to a standalone toddler chair after the high-chair years, and the wood-and-plastic build lands between the plastic budget seats and the all-wood Stokke. It's a premium price for what's still a fairly simple chair, and the wooden legs plus fixed frame mean it doesn't fold. Skip it if you want recline for a young baby or a chair you can stash between meals.
