It's finally time for baby to join the family at the dinner table, and with the perfect high chair, it can be a fun and rewarding experience for both of you! High chairs come in a wide variety of styles with plenty of various features. However from the simple to elaborate, safety and functionality should reign supreme at meal times. Below are some of the best high chairs available for purchase both in stores and through the Internet, making your shopping experience both easy and successful.

Starting with the fun products first, check out the Rainforest Healthy Care high chair. What baby wouldn't love the vibrant colors and fun playtime additions to this great chair? The toy tray is loaded with amusements for your little one, including a tethered teething toy and baby-controlled lights and music. Moms can also set the high chair to play 5 minutes' worth of music, giving her time to clean up the rest of the kitchen while baby is safe with his senses stimulated.

While the Fisher Price line is ideal for expanding families, it also easily clashes with the rest of a home's decor. If you want something more simple and flattering to your house, try the Graco Contempo , which comes in solid white with orange accents. This high chair is also slimmer than most, allowing it to fold easily into small spaces so you have plenty of room when baby isn't eating. The seat pad is machine washable and it includes height and recline adjustments for baby's comfort and functionality.

Looking for something sleek and modern? Your hunt will end at the Bloom Fresco Loft in stunning black. Even the tray is black with this space age high chair, as baby is able to be rotated 360 degrees while eating, making feeding time easy wherever baby is being served from. With special configurations to grow with your child, this beats out all other high chairs, able to adjust from a newborn sleep pod to a play seat for preschoolers up to 79 pounds.

High chairs are conveniently familiar at home after a couple of uses, but sometimes a family just wants a night out on the town. When this is the case, pull out the Clean Diner by Babe Ease. Able to shield baby from germy, worn-down restaurant high chairs, this cover will provide a hygienic dining space for your special small fry. Folded up, it's small enough for a diaper bag or to be carried in its included travel tote.

High chairs come in all varieties, so don't be afraid to try out a few before settling on the perfect one. If buying online, be sure to ask friends and family with young children for their expert opinion. You may love what you find!
