A la silla de bebé se le llama "periquera" (al menos en México), supongo, porque recuerda las perchas en las que se posan los pericos... (aunque también podría ser porque los niños tiran la comida, igual que los pericos).

I've never heard of this word before. So only in mexico it seems that is use.
Personally, here I have only hear "silla alta" or like someone said "silla para bebes"

Yo siempre lo he llamado trona. A veces digo silla alta, pero porque estoy traduciendo directamente de inglés.
