With so many chair options out there, I would highly recommend the Summer Infant chair if you are looking for a sturdy device that will last a long time. (pregnancymagazine.com)
Given that the Summer Infant chair is more spacious, it is definitely going to have a longer life span than some of the other chairs I have seen. (pregnancymagazine.com)
In the living room / dining room area alone I have an infant swing (not used in weeks), box of toys, art easel, exersaucer, Johnny Jump Up, Boppy, Breastfriend, play kitchen with associated crap, and two dinning room chairs used for kids (one with a space saver infant chair (it can't fit up to the table) and one with a booster).
