Evaluate your needs before you go shopping. And don't forget grandparents. They might not need a fancy high chair, but they can probably use something simple they can fold and store easily between visits. Check to see if any local stores hold information classes for expectant parents-you may get valuable information. And ask for manufacturers' phone numbers and web sites.
Many web sites have good information on the company's products, and some even have coupons.
Carol Dingledy is Manager of Corporate Communications at Cosco, Inc., which manufactured its first high chair in 1949.
