I got my Boon High Chair!

Remember my post last month about all the must-have's for #4? We can scratch one item off the list!! I SUPER SUPER SUPER scored and found one of these pretty much new on craigslist for just $130. I am IN LOVE. As soon as I got it into the kitchen I was squealy with delight. I love it even more in real life... "With no pesky cracks or crevices, the sleek, smooth, 1-piece Boon Highchair is unbelievably easy to clean up and includes 2, dishwasher-safe tray covers that easily fit into most dishwashers. Sure to be the perfect height at any table, the pneumatic lift makes it easy to pick the exact height you need. The removable, waterproof pad has a built-in 5-point safety harness along with a safety post so you can rest assured you little one won't slide out. The 6 urethane casters and single-step braking system allow the chair to easily glide in all directions without harming your floor" (target.com) Im totally going to have to grab this extra liner and tray as a backup, also!  I can't wait until the kitchen is painted with the teal behind the chair... it will be SO. Awesome. Will definitely share when it's finished! Grab your own (newer version) at BuyBuy Baby, Babies R Us, or Target!
