IKEA Antilop
The $25 chair that outperforms the $300 ones at the one job that matters: being hosed off.

Why this one
High chairs have one real job: containing a food explosion three times a day and being clean again in under a minute. The Antilop's single-mold plastic shell has no seams, no fabric, and no crevices, which is why it is the chair you see in every restaurant. The $300 wooden chairs are beautiful and trap purée in their joints. This is the only category where the cheapest product is also the best one, so there is no budget pick.
