 Are there any disadvantages of getting a wooden high chair over the others? 
You just don't see people with them anymore, but I love the look of them.  
  Any input?  Thanks mommies!

 Re: Are there any disadvantages of getting a wooden high chair over the others? 
I have the Eddie Bauer one and I love it.  Those who like the reclining features and the harnesses on the newer models will not like the wooden ones, but for me, I don't see a need for all of thoes features.  Plus I really hate the look of those over sized ones that are on the market with the frilly looking padding.  Just not for me.

I think the plastic ones are easier to clean.  The vinyl fabric just wipes clean with a sponge.  Do the wooden chairs have plastic trays to go in the dishwasher?  That would be another good reason for plastic.  I do like the look of wooden better too though.

I love the fact that mine has wheels on it.

Reclining, disinfecting, non fabric material, wheels......however, you can't  beat the look of the traditional wooden highchair.

 Re: Are there any disadvantages of getting a wooden high chair over the others? 
I wanted a wooden highchair so badly.  The thing that swayed me was the reclining feature in the others, and guess what, he probably has fallen alseep in the highchair *maybe*  3x and when I would go to recline it he woke up everytime.  So in the end not a reason to get the recline feature.
  I ended up choosing the FP Heathy care,  its a great chair and still looks brand new, but if I had to do over again I would have gotten a pretty wooden one.    
 
  I   this one...

 Re: Are there any disadvantages of getting a wooden high chair over the others? 
I've heard this be both an advantage and disadvantage- the wood tends to be heavier.  Good so the baby cant tip it easy or someone else can't tip it easy, bad if your moving it around a lot.
