I would be more than happy to help. When buying a classic high chair it is important to focus on the basics. Is the chair comfortable? Most high chairs come with a cushioned seat. Is it durable? Since most are made from wood/plastic it will most likely be durable. What kind of portability will this high chair offer? Some high chairs are designed to fold up for easy storage. How easy is it to clean? Most classic high chairs have vinyl seats allowing ease when it comes time to clean up. Last and most important, is it safe?

First, you need to look
for the certification sticker. It shows that the manufacturer takes part in a
certification program administered by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers
Association (JPMA). This can reassure you to some degree but it is not a guarantee.
Here are some tips that can help you what are the basic safety needs before
buying a high chair: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/high-chairs/buying-guide.htm
When it comes to buying a high chair for your child there
are several factors you must take into consideration including how easy it is
to clean, your childs comfort, how to store the high chair (does it fold away),
stability and price.
I have two children and for me the most important factor is
by far how easily the high chair can be cleaned. I tend to lean towards chairs with machine
washable trays. The chair we use is from
Fisher Price and is a dream when it comes time to clean up. Here is a link to the product -

Next you should consider the comfort of your child. Look for a high chair with a cushion/padding
on the seat. Your child will be sitting
in the high chair for every meal so you should invest in a comfortable chair.
You should also consider ways in which you can store your
childs high chair when not in use. If
you do not have a lot of extra space, you may want to look for something that
can fold up and be stored away.
Stability and safety are extremely crucial factors in
selecting a high chair. Look for chairs
with a wide base for immovability. I
recommend finding a chair with secure waist and middle straps to ensure that
your child is properly restrained.
Lastly, you will need to consider price. Find something that incorporates all of these features with your budget.
I think it's great that you want to build your son his own
personal highchair. I took the liberty
of finding you a very reputable tutorial that should guide you through this
process. Enjoy and good luck!
