Summer Infant Bentwood High Chair
What do you think? Should the Summer Infant Bentwood High Chair make it onto the modern high chair list? It’s interesting because it’s a hardwood high chair that folds up for storage. Retails for $200.
You can get one from Buy Buy Baby or Diapers.com.
So, do I add it to the list?

New 2013 Infant Products from Boon
The big new item Boon showed at the ABC Kids Expo this year is their Fresh baby changing station. This is an alternative to the usual changing pad and will retail for $60.
The other new products on display include the Orb bottle warmer, Pulp silicone teething feeder, Hitch pacifier clip, Clutch dishwasher basket and scrub bottle brush.
I also like the new colors for the Groovy and Modware dishes and utensils and I will be interested to learn more about their cups.
I also noticed the Flair highchair in Gray!

Nuna Makes Its US Debut
I fell in love with Nuna’s Leaf bouncer when I first spotted it on Babyology in 2010, but I didn’t share it with you because as you know, we only talk about things that are easily available in the US. When I recently learned that the incredibly stylish brand is entering the US market, I couldn’t wait to let you know, because that’s big news in my world!
Nuna’s sleek, ultramodern products from The Netherlands made their debut at ABC Kids Expo 2012, and will hit our shores January 2013. You’ll be able to preorder the first three products shortly.
The first of the three products that will be available early next year is the Leaf bouncer. Retailing for $229, this beautiful bouncer gently rocks baby to sleep for more than two minutes after just a single push without the use of any electrical power.
It will be available in the three colors shown above. They had an adult version at the show so I can attest to how comfortable and soothing the Leaf is.
This will be going on our baby seating guide for sure.
Nuna will also be bringing their Sena Portable crib to the US. It is available in Safari and Navy and in a regular ($220) and mini ($160) size. The Sena features a one-hand fold and can fold with the bassinet insert in place.
The last product coming in January is the Zaaz high chair that grows with your child. It will retail for $260.
Later in the year we can look forward to Nuna’s Pepp stroller as well as their Pipa infant seat and we’ll keep you up to date on that news.
This debut was definitely one of the highlights of the Expo for me this year.
Modern Kids Dining: Green and Natural
This dining room from Jonya and Brad’s Home Tour on apartment therapy uses simple, practical materials to create a stylish space. The blue Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair adds a bit of color and fun to the otherwise neutral and natural tones in the space.
To complete the table setting, I’ve added…
Utensils: Bambu 5-1/2-Inch Kids Utensils, Natural
Dish: Zoli Stuck Suction Bowl Feeding Set Green
Cup: Zo-li Bot Straw Sippy Cup
Bib: DwellStudio Chocolate Dots Bib & Burp Set- $35

Modern Kids Dining: Red, White and Gray
By the time you’ve finished you baby’s nursery and have gotten the hang of your new family’s sleeping arrangements (or lack thereof), you start to head towards the important milestone of feeding them solid foods. This is a lot of fun, but in your excitement to get started, you may not take much time to fully consider the options that are out there for dishes, cups and utensils. While I fully embrace the idea of purchasing the minimum you need to get by, you’re probably going to need a secure place for them to sit and unless you don’t mind sacrificing some of your adult dishes, you’ll want to get baby some special dishes of their own. As usual, we do not want all the baby paraphernalia to take over your entire kitchen and dining area, so why not coordinate their dining style with your own?
For this new Modern Kids Dining series, I will use photos of beautiful modern dining spaces and recommend a high chair and corresponding place setting especially for the little one at the table.
This first photo is the dining room from the blog The New Domestic. In this case they purchased the wooden highchair on Craigslist and painted it red. You could do the same, or a red Antilop would work as well.
To complete the table setting, I’ve added…
Placemat: Modern-twist Kidz Placemat, Alphabet Animals- $16
Utensils and Dish: Boon Groovy and Modware Interlocking Plate and Bowl Set with Utensils
Cup: Boon Swig Tall Flip Top Sippy Cup, Blue/Orange, 10 Ounce
Bib: Deer Baby Bib from Yorkpatty- $12

High Dollar High Chair – Supperman Chair by Ineke Hans
I thought I already knew the most expensive high chair out there, but I found one that beats the Henry IV, which tops my list at $1350. Well, Ineke Hans‘s Supperman chair can be yours for the tidy sum of $2125. You can find this black recycled plastic seat (smart!) at babygeared.
You can find additional pieces from Ineke Hans’s children’s collection on babygeared as well. There are tables, chairs , desk sets and of course, a rocking horse– Happy Horse for $965.
What’s the most expensive thing you’ve bought for your baby, or where do you think it’s most useful to spend when buying for baby? Our high chair was one of the LEAST expensive things we got.
