I'm looking for a new high chair. The graco one I have folds flat which I LOVE, but is filled with nooks and crannies that are impossible to clean without a toothbrush (it's still difficult to reach all the nooks even with a toothbrush). Who has the time or desire to be toothbrushing a high chair? PLUS, the straps do not come off so I can't throw them in the washing machine. HUGE drawback. So who likes their highchair for ease of cleaning and what make/model is it? Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks Ladies :)
I never felt the need to put straps in the washer. I use a tea towel and wipe them down if needed. Ours is Chicco and we are happy with it. Not the smallest footprint out there, but it folds small enough that I can put it in the trunk of my car for Grandma's house.
I use the Evenflo model that is sold at Target. It folds fairly flat so that I can put them away at the end of the week, I do daycare so I have 5 of them!!
We love our wooden highchair! Love the look of it, and I love that its easy to clean!
You can buy it online:

Still...I am sometimes amazed what I find in the highchair, carseat, under the beds..lol!
Best of luck!
To be honest, I've had 2 kids and I have never had a high chair. I had one of those little booster seats with a tray that I strapped onto a dining chair. Easy to clean and doesn't take up space. As for the straps, they cleaned easily enough by being wiped down.
This isn't the one I had, but very close. It comes in neutral colors too:

We had something like this tied to a kitchen chair. It went with us to restaurants when they were very little. The pieces come apart and go in the dishwasher!
You could also get one of those restaurant wooden chairs and slide it under your kitchen table. No tray to clean and the wood wipes off.

Check this one out ... we love it and put it on the bar stool (which has a back), but can just throw it in the washing machine or fold it up in a plastic bag to take with us. Our LO is 1 year and we still use it and plan to use it as long as possible.
