Tried, Tested, and Totally Trusted: Our Highchair Must-Haves
When you're deep in the feeding stage, the right highchair can make a huge difference. Between convenience, comfort, and design, we’ve all had our preferences—and a few models earned some serious love in our households.
Nicole and Jessica both swear by the Peg Perego Siesta, a true multitasker:
“I loved my Peg Perego Siesta! To be honest, I never saw myself with more of a traditional highchair. One of the most amazing features is that it can be used from birth with the booster cushion. It became my seat for Olive when I was in the kitchen and she was just two months old. It fully reclines and has a 5 point harness. It also raises and lowers in height. I loved having her up high because of our dog. When she started eating, the removable top tray was a lifesaver. I'd be able to just snap it off and she'd have a clean surface to play on while I cleaned up or got her a snack.” ~Nicole
“Always loved the traditional style high chairs, the Peg Perego Siesta was an easy one to operate from kitchen to living room, and a great height to use while sitting at the island feeding.” ~Jessica
Mealtime Magic: A Chair That Grows With Your Family
One highchair that came up again and again in our chats? The iconic Stokke Tripp Trapp. This isn't just a highchair—it's a piece of the family table.
Emily and Kyleyn both rave about the design and durability:
“The Stokke Tripp Trapp was an actual lifesaver during feeding therapy with my kiddo! Having a high chair that let him sit comfortably at the table with the rest of the family made mealtimes more inclusive and less stressful. The adjustable seat and footrest gave just the right ergonomic support—no dangling feet, no sliding around—which made a huge difference in helping him focus on eating. And bonus points for satisfying my inner design snob, too.” ~Emily
“My kids still fight over who gets to sit in our Tripp Trapp Chair and they’re 4, 7 and 9! In fact, sometimes my husband and I will sit on it too - it’s so ergonomic and comfortable! Perfectly boosts them up to the table for mealtime plus crafting, coloring, etc." ~Kyleyn
Classic Bugaboo Love (and Why We’d Choose the Fox Today!)
Bugaboo has long been the gold standard when it comes to premium strollers—mixing smart features and stylish design with the kind of rugged durability parents actually need. Emily and Jessica both swore by the OG: the Bugaboo Cameleon.
While the Cameleon is no longer in production, it left some big shoes to fill—which the Bugaboo Fox has stepped right into. The Fox levels up with even better performance, more intuitive features, and a lighter weight. It’s everything parents loved about the Cameleon, evolved for modern-day parenting.
Emily and Jessica share their Bugaboo stories:
“My baby only napped during walks, which meant my Bugaboo saw serious mileage—multiple walks a day, every day, for months. It handled cracked sidewalks and off(ish) road adventures like a total pro. It’s also seriously intuitive to use, which is a dream when you’re majorly sleep-deprived.” ~Emily
“Always have been a Bugaboo Fan! I had the Cameleon with my first daughter and it was so easy to push and super smooth. We loved going for walks and always took her to Central Park. It was so easy to maneuver and she loved taking naps as we strolled along. Today I love recommending the Fox 5.” ~Jessica
So while we’ve got some nostalgic love for the Cameleon, we’d confidently point new parents to the Bugaboo Fox—it's a fan favorite for good reason.
On the Move with a Big Crew: Real-Life Picks That Hold Up
If anyone knows what gear really works, it’s Kyleyn. She’s a mom of three with a serious stroller lineup and has tested it all in real life—think school runs, grocery trips, playground marathons, and everything in between. Her crew keeps her on the go, and these are the MVPs that keep up:
“There isn’t a smoother stroller than the Donkey! It effortlessly glides like butter even weighed down with two heavy kids, a third on the rider board, and stuff in the under storage basket. A truly easy push! I loved how my kids had their own space that wasn’t cramped, and that both seats were equal - no one on top and no one on bottom. I loved being able to see my newborn and easily attend to my curious toddler. And Bugaboo accessories are amazing! We loved the breezy canopies and kept them on year round." ~Kyleyn
“Veer Cruiser XL! With three young, active kids, this wagon has been a lifesaver! All the kids can pile in, but lately it’s been just our youngest riding along with all the sports gear, snacks, and toys for long days at the fields. We love how easy it is to hose off after a day at the ballfield, how slim it folds, and how fun it is for the kids to ride in!” ~Kyleyn
Safe and Sound: The Car Seats That Go the Extra Mile
From the early rear-facing days to booster seats, we’ve found a few car seats that truly stand out for comfort and security.
Convertible Car Seat Favorite:
“My youngest has been in a Clek Foonf for the past 3.5 years and has absolutely loved it. It allowed her to rear-face until age four (even at 90–100% for height) and gave her so much more legroom compared to other convertible car seats. I love how it’s built like a tank, sits her up higher so she can see out the window, and is super easy to install. Plus, she loves the bright pink color!” ~Kyleyn
And for Booster Seats:
“My little one is very slim and very active. I opted for the UPPAbaby Alta for her because of its lap belt positioner. This feature ensures a tight fit and keeps her contained!" ~Stephanie
Small Things That Made a Big Impact
Sometimes the things we didn’t expect to use every day became the ones we can’t imagine living without.
“As a first time parent; you never want to take your eyes off your newborn. My portable baby lounger definitely calmed my nerves! I moved it from room to room with me while attending to daily tasks, always keeping my little one within my sight!" ~Stephanie
“The Matty Changer was one of my favorite items. I used it from birth probably up until Olive was 3 years old. I was that mom that always changed my baby on the changing table lol. It was such a lifesaver in the beginning with all of the diaper changes, accidents, etc. It's so easy to clean! It made after bath time a breeze because I never worried about getting the surface wet. It is so underrated!” ~ Nicole
We Wish We Had It When… (Baby Gear Has Come a Long Way!)
Let’s be honest—some of the baby gear on shelves today makes us a little envious. Whether it's smarter, sleeker, or just more stylish, we sometimes catch ourselves thinking: “Where was this when I had my baby?” Here are a few standout products that our team can’t help but wish were around a few years earlier.
“The Cybex Callisto 360, I only wish I had a rotating car seat with my girls.” ~Jessica
“I wish Toddlekind playmats had been around when my baby was born—they’re neutral in the best way and don’t add to the visual chaos of a playroom. Instead of clashing with my home decor, they actually complement it, and I'll take a parenting win where I can get one (no matter how small).” ~Emily
"Electronic strollers are here! Imagine a stroller that rocks your baby for you! It wasn't available for my kiddos by Cybex has parents covered now with the e-Gazelle and e-Priam."~Stephanie
Mom-to-Mom Tips That Stick With You
At Strolleria, we’re not just recommending gear—we’re living it. Here are a few top tips from moms on our team that go beyond the shopping list:
“As a mom of a summer baby, my breathable mesh Baby Carrier was a lifesaver. It kept both me and my baby cool on walks, errands and even around the house.” ~Carissa
- We recommend the Joie Savvy Air 4-in-1 Carrier
“Whether you plan on travel or not, put a travel/crib playard on your registry! These systems provide so much convenience from day one. Opt for one with a bassinet and changer and set it up in your living room as a napping/changing system. Eventually it will transition to your toddler’s safety zone/play space. Keeping your little one close while you tend to everything else—or take a much needed nap on the couch—is priceless!” ~Stephanie
- We recommend the UPPAbaby Remi
“Do not forget about extra comfort for moms, I would have never survived without my glider! After having 3 sections I learned to appreciate a comfortable chair from Best Chairs, and learned that POWER is a must!” ~Jessica
- We recommend the Best Chairs Bilana Power Swivel Glider Recliner
The Bottom Line: Moms Know Best
At the end of the day, our advice doesn’t just come from a product manual—it comes from day-in, day-out parenting. The gear we recommend? We’ve lived with it, pushed it, cleaned it, carried it, and yes—probably spilled snacks on it, too. We love helping parents find what actually works because we’ve been there. So whether you're browsing, building your registry, or just feeling overwhelmed by options, reach out. We’re here, mom-to-mom.
