High chair for your baby: What to look out for
As your child gets older, it gradually becomes more and more independent. This also means that they want to participate in the common meals “like the grown-ups” and sit at the table. A high chair is particularly practical. Because your child can sit safely in it and still always keeps track. Here you will find helpful tips on what to look for in a high chair.
Why a high chair?
If your baby is still very small, then it is no problem to hold him in your arms during feeding. However, if it gets bigger and bigger, this position will not only become a bit cumbersome for you. Your baby also wants to discover its environment more and more on its own and test its possibilities. And, of course, also when eating. With a baby high chair you can easily support your child in his development. Because in a high chair your baby sits safely and can still try out all by himself, what can be done with the food.
In addition, you can feed your child in a relaxed way, and at absolute “eye level” with the rest of the family. Another important aspect is that your child in the high chair practically incidentally learns the social aspects of eating and can learn a lot from you or his siblings.
If your child is already a little bigger and has grown out of the baby high chair, you can “change” to a high chair for children. This means that your offspring sits at exactly the right height at the family dining table and can learn to eat independently.
What you can look for in the high chair
- Of course, it is important that a high chair isstable. Therefore, it is good if you test this property before buying. If the high chair has a firm stand even if you wiggle it vigorously, it will probably withstand the wild movements of an impatient child.

So even the most inventive children can not slip out of the high chair. If your baby cannot sit alone so well, an additional support pillow is recommended.
- Where children eat, there is also spilling. Therefore, it is a decisive advantage especially with a high chair if it iseasy to clean. Great are chairs that you can quickly wipe over to eliminate the biggest “accidents”.
- High chairs withtraysare very practical, as your child can put his plate directly in front of him. It is even more practical if the tray can be removed from the high chair if necessary. So you can clean it easier or decide for yourself when your child sits directly at the table or better has some distance to the table so that it can not touch hot pots.
- You only have limited space? Then acollapsible high chairis particularly practical. If you have several small children, high chairs that can be stacked are very helpful.
- Children themselves especially lovecolorful, playful designs. Maybe you also like abright splash of color? Often there are high chairs in many different colors. But also interchangeable covers for the high chair can provide variety for your children.
- Of course, it is great if the high chair fits therest of the furnishings in your dining room or kitchen. Some furniture series also contain high chairs, which are then precisely matched to the design of the rest of the furniture.
