So I unpacked my highchair to prepare it for child number 2 only to find the cushion was gross. It was also cracked. I contacted the manufacturer (Graco) for a new one only to be told they are out of stock and cannot tell me when they will have more (could be a few weeks or even several months). There are so many talented people selling cute homemade products such as this I just can't find them. Can anyone tell me where to get a replacement high chair cover. I hate to waste a perfectly good frame and have to buy a new chair.
The whole thing comes off, and you can make a pettern from it and make a new one from oilcloth from Joann's fabric. My daughter re-covered hers and it is like new and now it matches her kitchen.
IF the base of the seat portion is wood, just put a new foam form on it (hobby store, cut to fit), then cover it with pretty terry cloth or some kind of impervious-type fabric you can get at the fabric store, and staple it with short staples into the bottom of the chair. IF it's a metal seat base, then think in terms of gluing something on. Think HGTV, and all those good-looking male and female hunky-type carpenters who rebuild everything, build whole assemblies of furniture from scratch, and just imagine what they'd do. Those guys who pick up stuff off the curb and go redesign and repurpose it into something wonderful and then steal back in the night and put it back on the driveway where it came from, and then watch from around the corner to see the expressions on the faces of the people when they realize it is the thing they were throwing away??? That kind of project... You can do it. Modern, 21st centure woman that you are: Nails, scissors, fabric, glue, foam, staple gun, and old-fashioned ingenuity!
I had a similar problem and found some homemade ones on Ebay. I actually got a replacement one from Graco and have not been happy with it. It was nothing like the original. The back was not covered, so food gets all over the batting. Gross!
Hi I make stuff and sell on Etsy. I don't make high chair covers, but just found some on that site.

Found some that are cute and cheap.
If you have a girl, take a few mins look at my store

I've seen them at Babies R Us, at least I think from what I remember they were covers - now that I think about it they may have just been high chair pads. They were in a really unusual place at the store in Hurst - on the end of an aisle near the diaper pails.
Have you tried looking on etsy.com?? There are amazing people on there selling amazing products!!!
It may not work for you since it is cracked, but I took mine off and put it in the washing machine. I let it air dry. The junk came out pretty well. Ours was really gross too.
I found a very inexpensive cover at Burlington Coat Factory.
