Focus on features when shopping for standard high chairs

It's nearly impossible not to get caught up in the adorable colors and patterns that many of today's standard high chairs offer. However, it's wise to focus on features and durability first and style second.

Like so many pieces of children's furniture, standard high chairs should be considered an investment. Look for features that ensure it will last through your child's toddler years. Here are just few things to consider:

• The frame: Look for standard high chairs that have a durable plastic frame. This type of frame is ideal because it is strong and easy to clean.

The seat cushions of standard high chairs, or any high chair for that matter, are bound to take some abuse. You want one that can be wiped clean easily or thrown in the washer.
