High Chairs getting high design

HighChairStation is an e-tailer that scours France, Germany, Switzerland, and Scandinavia to find the most designey chairs and booster seats a baby could ask for, some of them well-considered, others excessive. Examples:

The Bloom Fresco Loft has dual chair/crib functionality;

The Svan gives your child an early taste for the possibilities of bent plywood;

The Tripp Trapp features height adjustability in the form of a series of grooves you can slide the seat bottom and footrest into, letting the chair "grow" with your family;

The BackTurbo Booster for automobiles has adjustable-height armrests and pop-out cup holders;

And the Grow Up Booster has enough straps that it looks like your child could withstand 3G turns in the passenger seat of a Lamborghini.

This svan is great. I've had three kids who beat this thing and it's still going to get passed down...definitely worth the price...

tripp trapp all the way.. only one of these that is good design..

not only does it last all the years from your baby can sit until the kid is large enough to sit in adult chairs.. it also lasts generations.. your grandkids will be able to use the very same chair as your kids..

and it doesn't look so bad at all during all those years.. timeless design and usage..

btw: though the chair is virtually indestructible.. the paint/varnish will see wear and tear.. easily restorable by sanding down and repainting it, which also allows you to update the colour..

and no I have nothing to do with the company..

Why doesn't someone just make a high chair that's easy to clean?. These are nice, but i can see way too many nooks and crannies for food to gather and rot without a full strip down after every use.
