  • High Chair Types, Features, and Functions

    Mealtime is the perfect opportunity to bond with your little one, and for your baby to observe good habits and healthy social interaction. When it comes to your child's place at the table, a high chair is a must to ensure their safety and free your hands feed them -- and yourself. There are a variety of types and different options to consider when choosing the best high chair for your lifestyle.

    Types of High Chairs

    Standard high chairs can range from very basic plastic, wooden or metal frames with a seat and harness for baby and tray for food, to feature-laden models with additional padding, wheels, and conversion functions. What they all have in common is that they are supported by legs. Alternatively, there is the clamp-on high chair, which secures to the edge of the table. These have the added advantage of being exceptionally portable and lightweight.

    Features to Consider When Buying a High Chair

    You may want a high chair with folding capabilities if space is limited, or wheels if you've got lots of space and plan to have meals or snack times in different rooms. Additional padding and adjustable seating can make a high chair more comfy for your baby. Convertible high chairs can give you more bang for your buck; some convert to become booster seats or toddler chairs, others even transform into adult chairs. Look for material that is stain-resistant and parts that are easy to wash, like removable, dishwasher-safe trays, to make care a little easier.
