I used a Sidewinder high chair. The tray is one piece of plastic with no
doo-dads to catch dirt. The edges of the tray are raised, so spills don't
end up on the floor. The tray is hinged in a clever way so that it opens
from one side and rests at the side of the chair for entry and exit.
This is very convenient once a kid can climb in and out her/himself.
Having to lift a kid in all the time can be tireing and tiresome.
Also, the tray is removable and the bare chair can be used at a table
of normal height when the kid is three-ish. This eliminates the need
for booster seats. 
Without a tray it's just a higher chair, by about 4 inches.
Then you can keep using it till the child is really comfortable
in an adult sized chair.(or until the upholstery wears out, although you can,
and I did, buy replacement cushions)
