Click here to view all our High Chairs. Once your baby is sitting up by herself and you are beginning to wean her you will need a high chair. You will be using a high chair for several years until your child is two or three so it is worth ensuring you choose the right one for you and your child’s needs. |
| What is available?
- Folding highchairs - These fold flat so you can save on space. The tray may be in a fixed position.
- Adjustable highchairs - These usually have padding and the seat can be raised or lowered. Adjustable highchairs can be folded up for storage, but can be more bulky than folding highchairs.
- Three in one highchairs - These start off as a high chair and then can be converted in to a low chair and table. They are very upright which may be less comfortable.
- Traditional style wooden highchairs - These are traditional highchairs which do not fold, but often have a removable tray.
- Seats that attach to a table - Suitable for smaller children, these can be attached onto a table or sturdy surface, so your child can be sitting at the same level as the rest of the family.
Features to look for when buying a highchair
- Comfort - If the highchair is not comfortable your child may get distracted at mealtimes.
- Safety - Look for a fixed five-point harness.
- Easy to clean? - A removable tray can make cleaning easier. Look for models that do not have awkward crevices and these can get dirty and unhygienic. Check any fabric is washable.
- Easy to store? - Some highchairs fold flat, others store in an upright position.
- Attractive? - If your highchair is going be seen permanently it is worth choosing a model you find attractive.
