I'm obsessed with our Svan High Chair!
This is now my latest baby obsession. The price point is higher than "average" but what makes it worthwhile is its versatility in comparison to other chairs. This one lasts for years as it grows with your child. It converts into various stages...and can even be used as a computer chair for teenagers. I feel like that alone makes the price justifiable. ...In short, I love it. In fact I'm debating buying a second one since this is actually great for both boys.

Product Review: Svan Chair
I bought a Svan chair ($250) for my youngest son almost 3 years ago, and I'm still convinced it is the coolest high chair out there: it gets the most compliments, keeps my son from climbing out of it or falling out by way of sliding through at the bottom, and most importantly, it is Not Made of Plastic. It comes to you in a flat box (much like some other stylish Scandinavian furniture), and if you can wield an Allen wrench, you can put together a Svan chair. The result is something that looks like furniture  retro-modern, Eames-type furniture  instead of something that screams "babies live here." It's also durable, cleanable and completely height-adjustable. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the Svan chair someday accompanies my son to college.

The chair's footprint is small enough to be incorporated into compact eating areas or kitchens, yet the base design promotes stability and prevent tipping.

Svan bouncer blends form, function
Our new favorite find is the Svan bouncer, a thoroughly modern gem crafted from beautiful bent birch and available in a variety of stylish colors from Svan of Sweden. The bouncer is not only beautiful, but functional as well, with a three-point harness and loops to attach toys. The padded seat is machine-washable (a Mamakaze must!) and the sturdy bouncer holds up to 30 pounds  10 more than Totakazes old seat did. The bentwood frame and attractive fabrics mean this bouncer fits into even the most stylishly appointed home, rather than detracting from the decor. We think William Morris would approve!

Woooohooo! I'll take one in blue, please. Thank you very much.
