How to pick a highchair that will work for you, your baby and your home.
A highchair is a seat your baby or toddler can be placed in for you to feed them or for them to feed themselves. A highchair really is a chair that’s high – either so your baby can be at table height, or so you don’t have to break your back bending to feed your child and have a handy tray in front for the food.
A highchair is useful for more than just mealtimes –for example, it can be a safe place for your child to play and feel part of the action whilst you’re busy in the kitchen.
Most highchairs are suitable from around 6 months. This is roughly when you baby can sit up on their own, and when you’ll start weaning.
