The Best Chair - The Svan Chair



Baby G in her Svan Chair



This might actually be the best, most amazing baby purchase we have made thus far as parents to two little munchkins! The Svan chair is by far the most elegant yet modern & practical high chair I have come across as a mommy! I am in love with this chair and clearly Baby G is too! :)

My first reason for absolutely loving this chair is the sleek design of it. In comparison to the other high chairs we have owned, this one by far has the smallest footprint in our kitchen. We don't have a large kitchen to begin with & our kitchen it totally open to our family room - so it feels even smaller with all the toys & knickknacks hanging around. With two children in our house, space is for sure at a premium!

The Svan chair is not only practical but it's stylish too! Almost every single person that comes into our kitchen comments on how 'cool' and different the chair is and it matches perfectly with all the darker wood tones in our house. You'll easily be able to match this chair to your style between wood tones and cushion colours :)

The one downfall to the Svan chair is that it doesn't offer any sort of recline option for younger children. So Baby G wasn't able to use this chair successfully until she was about 10 months old even though the recommended age was 6 months. The chair is quite easy to clean & comes with a plastic tray cover so that the wood underneath stays nice. The plastic tray doesn't come off as easily as the traditional high chairs we've own previously and can be a slight pain when you've got your hands full.

The chair can be used with or without the tray which is perfect for eating at the table with the rest of the family. When the tray isn't needed, it stores neatly behind the chair! Seems like Svan thought of everything with this wonderful chair!

At $349.99CAD for the chair and $39.99CAD for the cushion; the Svan chair might actually be the most expensive high chair I've come across so far! However, this chair will take your child up into adolescence with the weight capacity of 200lbs!! (obviously you would remove the infant insert after 2 years or so!) lol

I give the Svan chair a 5 star rating even though it comes with a hefty price tag! I'm in love with the design & small footprint. This is one piece of baby gear that doesn't make your house look like a daycare!

Pros:

• Beautiful design
• Strong, sturdy & built to last
• Easy to clean - nowhere for food to get caught
• Small footprint: light & easy to move

Cons:

• Expensive!
• Plastic tray can be hard to get on & off
• Cushion is fabric not plastic so it's difficult to wipe clean
