BabyGearLab's best overall: wood, easy to clean, and grows into a seat for up to 250 lb. Heavy and tricky to assemble.
A beech-wood chair that grows from baby to adult, easy to wipe and compact. The infant set is fiddly and the price is high.
Folds flat with the tray stored on the back, light and minimal. Shoulder straps aren't attached to the seat.
A $19 chair that's light, quick to assemble and easy to wipe. Upright only, with a 3-point harness and a fiddly tray.
The easiest to clean chair tested, with furniture-like looks. Assembly is very difficult and the tray is small.
