Choosing a good model is an important decision - but there are so many wonderful high chairs available now,
it can be difficult to know which one is right for you!
Look for a model that adjusts to suit a growing baby - after all, you want
it to last until your baby is big enough to sit with you at the table.
If you have limited space, then look for models that fold as flat as possible,
as they will be easier to store. Alternatively, consider using a
travel high chair, which is
small, portable and also perfect for outings with baby.
Safety is paramount and most high chairs these days are extremely secure.
Always check that adequate safety restraints are included and that all hinges lock securely when
the chair is in use.
Finally, look for styles that are easy to clean! Your baby will be using this chair
several times a day ... and YOU will have to clean it each time. Wipe-clean vinyl seats are ideal
and removable trays make life a whole lot easier!
Alternatively, consider a Bumbo! The innovative design of this simple seat
allows baby to sit securely without straps. It's also useful for keeping young babies upright at any time of day -
babies just love to be able to see what's going on around them!

There's something very special about this highchair - as well as being a comfortable place for your baby to eat, it's also designed to keep him entertained - a real bonus if you need a few more precious minutes to get things done in the kitchen! The cool, interactive tray (which you remove whilst baby's eating) features three different levels of play and speaks in English, French and Spanish! And in case you're thinking this is rather gimmicky and the rest of the chair is probably not up to par, you'll be pleased to learn it's actually very well constructed from solid beech wood and can be adjusted to fit your child until he's around 10 years of age.

Put the words 'easy clean' and 'highchair' into the same sentence and you know you've got a winner! This is a wonderfully convenient highchair in many respects. The straps are easy to remove and quickly wipe clean (a real boon if you've ever tried cleaning highchair straps in situ) and all the adjusting takes place at the back, where baby and his messy hands can't reach! The pad is machine washable and - better still - seam free, so no more soggy Cheerios hiding in the cracks! As with all good highchairs, the tray and seat are fully adjustable and we LOVE the open frame design, which makes it very easy to get baby in and out.

With 7 height positions and 3 recline positions, this highchair is fully adjustable and really does 'grow' with your baby! We like the fact that it includes a useful tray insert - washing a lightweight tray is much easier than cleaning a bulky table! It rolls around smoothly, so moving it from one room to another is easy - and for a highchair with so many features, it actually folds pretty compactly, too. A good investment!

A beautiful piece of furniture, the Tripp Trapp is hugely popular, described by the manufacturers as 'the only chair your child will ever need'. And it IS very versatile - both the seat and the footrest can be adjusted as your child grows... in fact, it's SO adjustable that it can be used by adults, too. If you're concerned that the seat may not be comfortable enough for younger babies, then you'll be please to know that there are cushions available, which are sold separately.

The ever-popular Bumbo is a really innovative baby seat that enables your little one to sit up and see the world around him from as early as 3 months. It's made from a special lightweight foam, so it's very easy to move around and is also VERY soft and comfy for your baby. The manufacturers state that you can use your Bumbo until your baby is around 14 months old - this does, of course, depend on your baby's size and stage of development. But this is certainly a great product - not just for feeding, but also for keeping your baby close by and engaged by his surroundings.

This Bumbo tray is sold separately to the seat and is a great way to get extra 'mileage' from your Bumbo! Perfect for feeding and providing baby a surface for playing, the tray easily fixes on to the knob on the centre of the seat.

Now here's a modern, classy highchair with a really sleek design! The Boon Flair has a sturdy pedestal base that you can slide right under the dinner table - ideal for bringing baby close at mealtimes! But the coolest feature of this highchair is its high-tech, hands-free, pneumatic lift - a great touch that makes adjusting the height as easy as can be! The seam-free seat ensures that crumbs have nowhere to hide and its made with a water and chemical resistant material - so it won't fade after cleaning. This quality highchair doesn't come cheap - but it will give you years of service, as you can remove the tray, safety restraints and cushion and continue to use the seat as an adjustable chair for your child until around 5 years of age.

Available in a range of groovy colours, this is an eye-catching high chair that almost makes you wish you were a baby again! What makes the bloom fresco unique is its versatility - it can be used from newborn as a 'sleeping pod' when fully reclined, then for feeding and playing as your little one grows. It features all the good stuff you expect from a high-end highchair, including pneumatically assisted height adjustment, 360 degree rotation, multi-position reclining seat and adjustable footrest. And it's made from baby friendly materials - which means no BPA, lead, phthalates or PVC.

Chic and stylish, this high chair (by Svan) is very adjustable. The seat itself has 2 settings and the tray adjusts to suit the seat. When your baby is old enough to sit at the family table, you can simply take the tray off altogether! The footrest adjusts, too, to 4 different levels. This eco-friendy high chair is 100% free of lead, phthalates and BPA - plus its made from durable, sustainable wood. Not just a great, functional high chair, the Anka is an attractive piece of furniture, too!

Short on space? Here's the solution - it has most of the features of a regular highchair, but attaches to most dining or kitchen chairs. It still reclines, to three different positions - and also has three height adjustments. When your baby is older, you can simply convert it to a backless booster seat! This is a great seat at a good price.

The price tag may be on the large side - but this high chair is a true multi-purpose product!

It folds down nice and compact (so it's suitable for small spaces) and is very secure, with a 5 point safety strap. It's also VERY adjustable, with nine different height positions and 4 different recline positions. No need to buy extra baby gear when you get all this rolled into one!

From the time your baby can support his head, the innovative Bumbo will help him sit upright and take part in all that's going on around him! It works by using your baby's own body weight to support him and is made of a soft, non-toxic material that's easy to clean. Many parents find these really useful all around the house - not just at feeding times - because they keep baby occupied when he might otherwise be frustrated by his inability to see what's going on! The Bumbo is available in lots of colours.

One of the most popular high chairs on the market, the Happy Snack is incredibly good value for money. It has many of the features that you'd look for in a more expensive model, such as a reclining seat and adjustable tray - and it also includes a large net basket underneath, which is great for stowing mealtime toys and accessories.

Isn't it great when the gear you buy for your baby goes on being useful for years to come?

Another contemporary high chair that grows with your child, the BabyDan is designed so that your little one always sits at the right height at the table with his feet properly supported. It's stable, comfortable and very secure, with a strong harness. UK
This is a super idea, encouraging lots of interaction with your little one as he grows. That's because it's not ONLY a highchair - it's also a safe platform for your child to stand at the kitchen counter with you, 'helping' prepare dinner or simply watching! Your child is fully enclosed by the pod so it's perfectly secure - unlike standing your toddler on a chair at the counter when he wants to be at your level. We think this is a wonderful alternative use and gives lots of extra value for your money! UK
