I have the Graco Contempo and it is ok...it has a pretty slim fold, reclines, isn't too heavy, has a nice tray, love the Rittenhouse print but I wish I bought the Fisher Price booster seat instead! Traditional high chair just take up so much space!

I have used the Inglesina Zuma and the Peg Perego one. I dont love either to be honest. The Zuma is the better of the two but it doesn't roll well and the fabric spots a little when it gets wet.
I despise the Peg Perego- no one ever seems to put the straps back on correctly, the brake mechanism is a pain and the biggest issue is cleaning it. I have worked in a house with full time house keeper, two nannies and an ocd father yet none of them ever thought to clean under the chair pads so it was growing mold in every color of the rainbow. I have since then used the more of the same seat and every one of them had been moldy! Plus there are a billion crevices for food to get into. They are the grossest seat ever!
When I have a little one I will either buy the ikea antilop our Fisher price booster, I will not buy anything with a cloth seat.

We put Lo in this. Love that it's easy to clean and travel friendly too. We keep Phil and ted's lobster in the car for when we eat out. Love it!

We had the Ikea one for both girls. Loved the price point... But my second daughter is super active and the belt on it wasn't restrictive enough for her. It was perfect for my first baby though!
So now we have the FP Space Saver... It has a five point restraint and my LO stays put! I also love that the tray is dishwasher safe and the fabric is machine washable. It's so nice to have an easy-to-clean high chair. Feeding babies gets super messy.
Eta: we got the Mocha Butterfly... Looks so cute in person and matches our dining set which is dark brown http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002OOWAJO/ref=aw_d_var_2nd_baby-products_img?vs=1. We get so many compliments on it!

We have the Fisher Price Space Saver. It's okay - nothing special, but it does the job. Its main selling points for me were that it's about $50 and converts to a booster seat. Despite the name, it doesn't actually save any space, and though it claims that the tray is dishwasher safe, I'm not sure what dishwasher it would actually fit in. I didn't think I would care that it isn't super attractive, but in retrospect, I wish we had spent more on a more attractive chair since it will be sitting in our kitchen for a couple years, or quite a few if we have another child.

We have the Graco Blossom 4-in-1 High Chair Seating System - Hathaway

Up until now I loved it. But the white leathery part just got stained by some spaghetti sauce my LO was eating. I'll be calling Graco to see if they will do anything about it because I otherwise really like the highchair.

@chopsuey119: how old was lo when you started using the fp chair? I have been looking but couldnt tell if lo needs to be older--she is 7 months now. We have been feeding her in the bebepod but its days are numbered i think.

@MamaCate: We started at 6 months old and still use it at home. LO's almost 16 months old now.

We have the stokke Tripp trapp. It was a total splurge but we fell in love with it and found it at a decent price. My LO hasn't started solids yet but he sits in his high chair at the dinner table with us.

@Cole: we got the peg perego prima pappa from a consignment sale. I love the features but it is a pain to clean. There is a little crack on the front of the tray (by the babies belly) and it catches so much food (puréed) and you basically have to use a toothpick to clean it out. Maybe the new versions have this fixed. I looked at my friends chicco and it didn't seem much better. I do love ours for the recline and LO seems super comfortable in it.

We have the Boon Flair. I haven't actually used it for eating yet because she's only 4 months, but we love the look of it, and she's sat in it several times and seems to really like it. I love that it's on wheels, so it's easy to move around and it's not an eye sore.

I wanted a Stokke Tripp Trapp...until I tested it out. It's really hard to use with the plastic inserts and it doesn't move around easily because the base doesn't have wheels. We also needed a tray, because our table is glass and I was worried about DS banging on it, which he does on his tray, so I was right about that one. I wanted to like it, but it doesn't fit our lifestyle. It's expensive and you need a lot of add ons, which was a turn off for me.
Instead, we went with a Chicco Polly. We have Graco Blossom at my parent's home and we love that one too.
