Picking the best high chair for babies felt overwhelming when I was pregnant with my first child. I spent three weekends comparing 12 different models at three different stores, and I still brought one home that did not fit under our kitchen island. That mistake cost me a return trip and a lot of frustration. … Read more

When my first child hit six months and started solids, I realized how fast baby gear becomes obsolete.
