Highchairs

Developed to help you seat your baby comfortably and safely while eating

What are highchairs?

Once your baby can sit up and reaches around six months, it’s time for weaning, and that can be a messy affair. Highchairs are designed to make the process a bit easier.

Highchairs are a secure seat for baby to sit on and can sometimes come with a detachable tray.

How much do highchairs cost?

Highchairs range in price to cater for all budgets and tastes. Some basic models can start at around £25 and can range right up to £200.

Top tips

When choosing a highchair it’s important to check the features. The important ones are safety; the straps need to securely support your baby and the functionality of how the highchair collapses is important. Easy clean options are also worth noting as weaning and baby feeding is a very messy time!

What functionality should the highchair have?

There are some things to look out for when choosing a highchair. Reclining seats are common features in today’s highchairs as well as adjustable seat height which can be handy if you want to remove the tray and have your baby sit at the table with you. As babies are messy eaters, it’s important to choose a chair that has easily removable covers and a detachable and removable tray for making cleaning easier.
