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 removeable 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!

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! US ONLY
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. US ONLY
If you're looking for a traditional highchair, then this model by Jenny Lind really fits the bill!
Its simple design makes it VERY easy to clean and we love its classic look - BUT - we feel that a highchair
like this is best suited to older babies. The back is very upright - whilst this is perfect for feeding,
it's not ideal if your baby likes to 'lie back and relax' after dinner (giving you precious extra minutes to
get everything cleaned up)! US ONLY
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!

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. US ONLY
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. US ONLY
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. US ONLY
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! US ONLY
At almost $300, the HiLo high chair doesn't come cheap - but it WILL go on to give years of service.
Recommended for use from 6 months to 6 years, the HiLo adjusts from a standard highchair height (for babies)
to a low chair for toddlers and older children. The manufacturers suggest using it as a desk chair for 4-6 year olds,
which is a great idea and really makes sure you get the most value for your money. There are no pesky
cracks on this chair to get filled with bits of food (yay!) -and it's available in several colors to match
your decor (very important, as you'll be using this for years to come!). US ONLY
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. Another nice feature is that these high chairs are free-standing once
they're folded up! UK ONLY

This beautifully designed high chair - only available online from Toys R Us - is certainly a bit pricier
than other high chairs. But it DOES have some useful features and is suitable up to around 3 years of age, so
it will give you plenty of service! It comes with a fully adjustable toy bar that can be move forwards or
backwards - or rotated away - to suit your little one. The seat backrest reclines, the footrest is
adjustable and there are 6 height settings. The manufactureres say that this model is suitable from birth,
because it includes the Polly Soft Seat Insert, to ensure correct newborn posture. We're not sure quite
WHY you'd put your newborn in a high chair (?), but the seat is certainly nice and comfy for little ones! UK ONLY
