The Fresco Chrome from Bloom is one hot high chair

Until now, I'd never realized that a highchair could be a style statement. I've always steered toward simplicity when it comes to kids' furniture, but the dazzling new highchair from Bloom has me positively wowed.

 

The Fresco Chrome Special Edition highchair from Bloom is an even cooler version of their already amazingly fancy Fresco highchair. The Fresco, if you hadn't heard, is every design-centric parent's dream highchair. The Fresco Chrome offers a metallic seat and some pretty rad updates to the original. It's stylish, slick and futuristic--but trust us, this highchair does a lot more than just look cool.

My 16-month-old is a tough customer when it comes to feeding time. He only wants to do what his older brother does, which is sit in a regular chair without any straps or restraints, so getting him into a highchair is no easy feat. I was able to pretty easily remove the front bar and tray to trick him into thinking he's sitting in a real seat. Pretty genius.


The Fresco Chrome has all sorts of nifty configurations. There are wheels at the bottom, allowing you to roll it around to different spots at the table without breaking your back. There's a dentist chair-style ease to adjusting the height, so your little one can be exactly eye level with everyone else at the table, even as he grows. It also does a 360-degree swivel. And for newborns that can't hold their head up yet, it tilts all the way back, so it's nice to know that this can be used right from those early days, making it easier to justify the price.

And yes, it's pricey.



But if you need some more justification,the chair is also suitable for up to 79 pounds, meaning you can transition it to a breakfast bar or even into your child's room as a very cool-looking big kids' chair. Awesome for kids who are into the whole space-age thing. Now if only I could get my little one to eat his peas on it, I'd be one happy camper. -Melissa
