New Phase: Eating

Carter is getting ready to enter a whole new stage of development - eating solid foods. I'm looking for a good high chair and am totally disappointed by what is out there. Most of them are hideous - not something I want displayed prominently in my house. The one high chair that has a little personality to it is $200! My favorite is the Peg-Perego (here: http://www.barebabies.com/pegpedorohic.html), but from what I've read (including the Baby Bargains book) it is impossible to clean and too tall for most babies. But it sure looks nice! The high chair that has the best reviews and would probably be the most practical, is an adjustable booster but is just plain ugly. I don't know what to do...
