Mothercare Star high chair – discontinued
This product is no longer available
Mothercare has produced a number of variations on the standard folding highchair for its own-brand range, with the gender-neutral grey star design at the more subdued end of the colour spectrum.
There's nothing ground-breaking about the chair, but with its height, recline and tray adjustment options and the ability to fold it down, and the relatively reasonable price tag, it’s a practical mid-range choice that ticks plenty of boxes.
What are your first impressions of the Mothercare Star high chair?
Bearing a striking resemblance to two other grey folding chairs I reviewed, the Mamas & Papas Snax and the Argos Cuggl Deluxe, the Mothercare Star sits between the two in price. The functionality of the three chairs is very similar, so the choice comes down to value for money and preference on looks. The bright orangey-red straps and accents on the Mothercare Star initially struck me as a little garish – but the colour does help to disguise Bolognese splashes on the harness!
Mothercare Star high chair assembly – how easy is it?
The chair is simple to put together and the diagram instructions fairly straightforward to follow, although, as with other high chairs of this style, the footrest is awkward to fit and requires a long screwdriver, which isn’t supplied.
What age is the Mothercare Star high chair suitable for?
The chair is suitable for children from sitting up unaided to around three years old.
How secure is the Mothercare Star high chair?
As with the other chairs I tested of this type, I found the tray shook when my daughter banged her legs, but this was a minor irritation rather than a significant safety concern. Other than this, it felt pretty sturdy.
What is the safety harness like?
The brightly coloured five-point harness clips into a large button which I found slightly easier to use than the clips on the similar Cuggl and Mamas & Papas chairs. However, as with those chairs, the crotch strap on the Mothercare Star sometimes becomes tucked underneath the baby.
How big is the tray and is it a good height for the child?
Besides the removable, dishwasher-safe top layer being transparent rather than grey, the tray on the Mothercare Star is exactly the same as the Argos Cuggl Deluxe version: 57cm wide with three sections and space for a cup (though of course not every cup fits in it). It sits at a good height and can be moved backwards and forwards by squeezing the sides of the tray and pushing it into three positions, although, as with other highchairs of this type, I found the sliding mechanism clunky: it often goes on wonkily and has to be re-adjusted, and can become caught on the cushion padding.
Can you adjust the high chair in any other way?
The chair moves easily into six height positions, so you can feed the child while you sit on the sofa or at a lower table. You can also tilt it backwards, but the handle is quite hard to reach and the reclining motion is not very smooth.
What is its footprint?
The chair’s footprint is reasonably large at 77cm x 51cm, and with its flashes of bright colour, it’s fairly dominant in a room (though the red feet may mean you’re less likely to trip over them!).
What is the overall quality of the high chair?
The chair could be adjusted more smoothly and is a little ‘plasticky’ in appearance, but feels solid enough.
Is it comfortable for the child?
The chair is fairly roomy, with plenty of cushioning and an armchair-like shape that looked very comfy for my daughter. The recline options might also add to the comfort of babies who like to doze in their chairs, but we didn’t make use of this feature.
More like this
Is the seat padded?
There's generous padding over the seat, sides and back rest, with a shiny, wipe-clean cover. The seat pad can be detached from the chair for cleaning.
Can you get the child in and out easily?
Once you’ve shifted the tray out of the way, it’s very easy to lift the child out of the chair; trying to do it without removing the tray is a bit hit and miss.
Is there adequate support for the child?
The structured seat with its high, cushioned back rest, crotch post, five-point harness and adjustable tray help the child to maintain a good upright posture, but the fixed footrest doesn’t provide a lot of support.
Is it easy to clean?
While the cover is wipe-clean, as with most cushioned chairs, food does collect in the seams, meaning you’ll need to take the cushion off regularly to keep it properly clean. The tray has a top layer which can be popped off for cleaning.
Is it easy to store?
The chair is straightforward to collapse: lower the chair height, close the legs, release the tray and hang it on the back of the legs. Once folded, it stands freely but isn’t especially neat at 99cm x 57cm x 35cm, so it’s not the easiest to transport.
Are there any accessories available for purchase?
No.
Are there any special features?
No additional features.

types of highchairs, main features
Highchair will make the baby's feeding comfortable both for him and for his parents. Usually it is bought at the age of about 1–1.5 years, when the child already knows how to sit. Eldoblog will tell you how to choose a highchair and how long you can use it.
Classic
Mini chairs with very high legs allow the child to sit at the level of the dining table. Outwardly, they are a bit like a bar stool, only with a pronounced back and armrests. Such models are in the lead in the rating of high chairs due to the affordable price, simplicity of design and modest size. The only negative is that if the child grows up and can sit on an ordinary chair with a pillow, then the debut one will have to be abandoned.
Mobile
If you're looking for a highchair that fits with any piece of furniture in your home, look no further than these models. Legs with wheels move effortlessly. And the height adjustment system and folding frame adapt the highchair to both the height of the child and the size of the table. This model is suitable for children aged 1 to 3 years.
Transformers
The name speaks for itself. From birth to one year old, you should choose a baby feeding chair that turns into a deck chair, cradle or rocking chair. For kids over 2–2.5 years old, models that replace a desk, a table for creativity or a walker are suitable. Transformers are versatile and comfortable - they can be used up to the age of 4-5 years. But they are bulky and fragile at the same time - their movable connection is easy to break if you press too hard.
Boosters
Like the car seats of the same name, these high chairs only raise the child so that he can sit at the level of the tabletop. They can be placed on ordinary chairs with a hard seat using short inclined legs. Boosters are lightweight, compact and ideal for travel. But they are not as comfortable and stable as classic models. Thanks to the adjustable height, they are suitable for children of all ages - you just need to respect the weight restrictions.
Suspended
The list of the best high chairs also includes options for small kitchens. Hanging chairs, like a soft "hammock" on a frame made of metal pipes, are suspended from the edge of the table. You can always keep them at hand and use them in any room - this is a plus. The downside is that it is not always convenient for a child to sit in such a chair, and the load is limited to 8-15 kilograms.
Material
Natural wood is durable, environmentally friendly and pleasant to the touch. But it is difficult to make transformers and boosters from it. Therefore, plastic models are very popular. When choosing them, pay attention to quality certificates and the absence of toxic substances in children's furniture. If you buy a chair in a regular store, and not online, take a sniff - the absence of a pungent "chemical" smell indicates the high quality of the material. Metal can only be used in the frame. To protect the child from injury, the structure is covered with plastic, rubber or wooden pads.
Soft inserts
To choose the right highchair, pay attention to the seat. In the simplest models, this is a fabric cape. There is also children's furniture with soft plastic or film linings, and in top models - removable covers with foam filler. They are comfortable and easy to wash.
Safety
A 1-2 year old child definitely needs five-point harness . They will keep the little fidget in the chair and protect him from falling. After 2 years, a high back, armrests and non-slip upholstery will suffice. If the chair has wheels, make sure that they are blocked by special stoppers.
Comfort
Top models in the highchair rating have backrest tilt mechanism . It will adjust the comfortable position of the body and reduce the load on the spine. Height adjustment adapts the furniture to the height of the child and the size of the table. And the movable armrests give the baby the opportunity to relax his arms while his parents feed him.
Small table
Some chairs can also be used without additional furniture. On the built-in table you can place plates and bottles with food. And then the kid can draw, sculpt on it, look at pictures in his favorite book and read.
What's in the box
To choose a highchair for your baby, consider other nice little things like built-in cup holders, hanging basket for toys, quick transport handle, built-in mobile with "flying" figures, interchangeable fabric inserts, bottles and plates from unbreakable material.
Design
How do you choose a high chair that both parents and baby will love? First of all, pay attention to whom it is intended for - for boys, girls or for everyone. Now there are chairs for every taste and design - from bright red to warm yellow.
You can purchase any of the presented highchairs from us, including buying on credit or using Eldorado gift cards . Delivery of the purchase is possible, as well as pickup.

How to choose the best high chair for baby?
As a child grows and develops, so do their needs. When your baby can sit up and eat solid food on his own - usually between 4 and 6 months of age - it's time to add a high chair to your kitchen furniture. Why buy a high chair? There are several reasons for the
Infant nutritionists recommend introducing the first complementary foods around 4-6 months of age. Therefore, in order to make this process easy and fast, it is necessary to purchase a comfortable high chair .
In the assortment of our online store, the choice of such chairs is huge and varied. All of them provide safety, comfort and enable the kids to sit at the same table with the whole family.
In general, we have the following types of high chairs:
- folding .
