Product Information

I love the thought of sitting at the table having a meal with a gurgling baby lying in the reclined seat and enjoying being entertained by the toy bar," she said. You’re probably best to get a high chair just before your baby starts showing these signs, so you’re ready to go with puréed fruit as soon as they’re ready.

Our tester loved the good-sized tray and sectioned silicone food mat, which not only allows for baby-led weaning but for sensory activities with dried pasta, water, bubbles and more. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It does look comfy though which is important, but probably you could find a high chair that’s comfy and doesn’t have the above negatives. Just be aware that they don't provide the same comfort and support offered by the big padded chairs.

Other optional extras are the food tray, cushion set and starter kit which allows babies as young as 6 months to sit in it and feel supported whilst doing so. Put simply, highchairs provide a safe place where babies and children can sit when eating, raising them to table height so they can be part of mealtimes. However, we're increasingly seeing a new generation of models that come with extra padded inserts and recline functions to make them suitable from birth – useful if you have pets or rampaging toddlers around and want to keep your baby off the ground (although obviously you need to be closely monitoring your baby at all times). The simple design makes the chair incredibly easy to clean, especially as there are no little corners for food to hide in, and the removable tray can be wiped down no problem.

Our toddler tester loved the independence of sitting at a regular dining room chair on this booster seat with his brother, while we liked the fact this seat keeps him a little more secure. Wipe-clean surfaces are great, but there will always be crumbs in the crevices of fabrics (which wouldn't happen with the Tripp Trapp, for example). The leg divider could get uncomfortable for bigger babies or as they grow, would be good if that adjusted too. Harness – Never underestimate a toddler's ability to wriggle out of highchairs – it's a well-known fact that little ones would give Houdini a run for his money when it's time for dinner.I have found that the only way to get all the bits out is by tweaking them out with a cocktail stick or some such. One of the key features of this highchair is the fact you can fold it with just 1 hand, which is super handy if you don't have much room to keep it up all the time," she said. For years, the iconic Stokke Tripp Trapp won over the hearts of countless families who wanted a chair that would grow with their child, but now the brand has outdone itself with the Nomi – a high chair that can be used from birth right up to adulthood. You could also opt for a weaning mat, which sits underneath the high chair to catch all the falling food to make cleaning up that little bit easier.

A 5-point harness ensures your precious little one is safe and secure at all times and includes a removable dinner tray making it easy for cleaning.This allows us to make a complete assessment of each model, from how easy a highchair is to assemble, how it looks, how sturdy and secure it feels with baby sitting in it, and how easy and hygienic it is to clean. If they're old enough to run around, stair gates are another way to keep your little one secure whilst allowing them to explore their surroundings. My 3-year-old Archie thought it was the perfect reading chair and once all the babies are out of a highchair I imagine it will be perfect for a quiet corner. The seat then detaches and acts as a booster seat, either with or without the tray table; or, the seat can be removed completely, giving your child a seat in which to sit and play, or the option to sit up at the table.
