In the above link you can see the quilt that my Mom made for my son's first Birthday. I don't think it's what you're looking for - I wanted a more vintage look. We chose repo. fabrices in red and blue.

A twin quilt is definitely ideal in regards to growing with your child, but we decided on a lap size - great for even an adult to cozy up with on the couch and will look great at the end of a bed one day.

Shopping for fabric is such fun!! Have a good time :)

I'd have to disagree with commenters so far. I have an antique wooden high chair but have fashioned a harness to it for safety reasons. I can easily throw the harness in the wash and the wood wipes up beautifully (just like a wooden table with a toddler eating at it).

Mind you, I DO NOT use my high chair as a babysitter. My son only sits in it when he is eating and comes out as soon as he's done (unless we're eating and he's happily playing in his chair, right beside us. I DO NOT leave him in it, even just to get something out of the microwave.

I should also mention he is only 8 months old. I'm not sure how safe it would be for a rambunctious two year old who is jumping to get out. Then again, I don't know how safe it is for a rambunctious two year old who is perched on a dining room chair in a booster seat.

Just my $.02's worth :) I like your chair, though.
