REASONS TO BUY

REASONS TO AVOID

Tricky to roll

Hard to clean

The Peg Perego Siesta is a high-quality chair with years of potential service. This chair is well-designed with practical features like adjustable recline, height, and footrest. This option creates a good place for infants to recline with a bottle, is great for a self-feeding hungry toddler, and almost everything in between. The Prima Classe fabric comes in multiple colors and has a supple, leathery feel that is easy to clean. The chair has wheels for easier moving around the kitchen, and it features a Stop & Go Brake system that is safe and simple to use. This chair has a compact fold, perfect for small homes or parents who prefer to keep gear stowed away.

Some parents find the wheels tricky to maneuver as the back wheels swivel and the front wheels don't. However, rolling it backward and steering with the rear wheels instead of the front makes this easier. This chair is also challenging to clean. While the fabric is easy to wipe and the tray is dishwasher-safe (we recommend hand washing), there are so many nooks and crannies for gunk to hide that are near impossible to reach. Despite these minor issues, we were impressed with the quality and flexibility of the Siesta and believed it could keep many families happy.

The snack tray on the Siesta offers plenty of space and room for a cup. The lip around the edge of the tray helps prevent small spills from making it onto the floor.

REASONS TO AVOID

Heavier

Harder to assemble

The Abiie Beyond Wooden High Chair is a cool wood chair that can grow with your child shifting from a high chair to a booster to a step stool and adult chair. This product works for adults up to 250 lbs and is high quality enough to last as long as needed. We like the easy-to-remove and clean tray, and we love the waterproof and stain-resistant cushion that you can hose clean. The seat is comfortable and looks nice enough to display at your table or island.

This chair is heavier than plastic competitors. While not prohibitively heavy, it is harder to move when your little one is in the chair. Also, it takes longer to assemble, but luckily this is a one-time concern, and the adjustments after assembly are quick and tool-free. Overall, we think this high-quality chair has a fair price for what you get and believe it is one you will enjoy and want to use for years to come.

REASONS TO AVOID

Remove tray to fold

Fabric is not machine washable

The Graco Slim Snacker High Chair is a wallet-friendly, straightforward chair that allows for baby feeding from a fairly young age up to 40 lbs. The chair has a simple assembly, and the adjustment and tray removal all work well. This chair is one of the few that folds for storage, and while not ultra-slim, it will fit in most closets or pantries. The tray is top-rack dishwasher safe, and the cushion can be wiped clean with a cloth.

When in use, this chair has a wide footprint, making it one of the widest in the group, so it might not be suitable for tiny spaces even if you can store it out of the way. Also, you need to remove the tray before folding it to store, which means you'll need a different location for storing that. Depending on your space, this could be challenging or a hassle. We think this is a cost-effective solution for baby feeding and think it gets the job done with only a few hiccups. If money is a concern and you aren't worried about long-term use or the highest quality, it will meet your needs without much frustration.

Reclining Seat

REASONS TO AVOID

Tray is tricky

Doesn't fold

Tray doesn't lie flat off the chair

The Graco SimpleSwitch is a basic, sturdy chair that is one of our favorites in its price range. It features a three-level recline adjustment, creating a convenient dining center and a safe space for the baby while you work in the kitchen. The straps and chair cover are easy to remove and toss in the wash after messy meals. The rest of the plastic chair can be quickly wiped down to finish the cleaning job. You can also remove the legs to turn the chair into a booster seat that holds up to 60 lbs!

While the tray is removable one-handed, it can stick if it is uneven. Also, because the crotch restraint is attached to the tray, the tray doesn't lay flat when placed on the table or counter, which means that if you need to get your baby out mid-meal, you'll need to remove the food and then the tray. While this chair has a smaller footprint, it is bulky to store. Overall, we recommend this chair as a practical and affordable option that is useable for longer than the average chair.

REASONS TO AVOID

Infant accessories are sold separately

There are many reasons to love the Stokke Tripp Trapp. It has a simple design that is easy to clean and pulls right up to the table so your little ones can eat with the rest of the family. Durable construction and height adjustments for the seat and footrest create a chair that children can use through their first ten years of life. The Stokke Tripp Trapp Bundle caters to 6 mo+ infants and includes a removable 5-point harness, Tripp Trapp Baby Set, and Mini Baby Cushion. Additional custom accessories include the Stokke Tray, the Tripp Trapp Cushion, and the Tripp Trapp Junior Cushion. We love the versatility of this innovative seat and European Beech Wood that is free of harmful chemicals like bisphenol and phthalates.

Because this is a solid, durable chair, it comes at a premium price; it is one of the most expensive chairs in this review. With a high price, it's somewhat frustrating that you have to purchase the baby insert, tray, and other accessories separately. However, if your budget allows, we love that this high-quality chair can grow with your child longer than the average chair and will compliment almost any kitchen decor.

REASONS TO AVOID

Lower quality

The Infantino 4-in-1 Convertible High Chair is hands-down the cutest little chair you can find for feeding babies. Seriously, little ones all headed straight to this chair when given a choice, and the fox brought smiles to parents' faces as well. We like this chair's look; it is super easy to assemble, with useful instructions and well-labeled parts. This chair converts to a booster/travel chair and a toddler chair when little ones are old enough to sit at the table. We like that it has a reusable dishwasher-safe food tray with dividers for food and a cup limiting the need for dish use and potentially decreasing your clean-up time.

This chair is somewhat harder to use and clean. The adjustments aren't as smooth as the competition, and there are places for food and gunk to get trapped, making it harder to clean. It is also not the highest quality, and some toddlers might pick at the softer cushion foam, which could limit the lifespan overall. However, despite these minor issues, we think it has a nice price for what you get, and if it gets your child excited about mealtime or feeding themselves, we are all on board. It is a good choice for those who value child excitement and budget over superior quality.

Why You Should Trust Us

We spent countless hours researching and testing these chairs in-house and in real life to help you find the perfect chair for your family. These chairs were used with little ones of various ages and sizes to determine which work well and which lack overall functionality or features parents may want. We started our search with more than 50 high chairs and narrowed it to the most popular options for testing. Each chair was tested for ease of use, ease of cleaning, quality, and more to help you find the right chair for your needs. Each product underwent more than 14 individual tests to determine rank and award winners.

This high chair review and testing are led by our founder, Dr. Juliet Spurrier, a board-certified pediatrician. Dr. Spurrier uses her background and education combined with her experience as a mother of two to select products with ease of use and safety in mind. She is instrumental in testing development and final product selection. Wendy Schmitz, the Senior Review Editor, rounds out the team and uses her science education to help guide her in the testing and review process to make thoughtful testing procedures and analysis of test results. Wendy is a mother of two and has worked on most BabyGearLab reviews as a tester and analyst since 2014.

The chair can be adjusted to make a perfect ergonomical fit for different size children.We like the simplicity of the design and ease of use of the SimpleSwitch.

Analysis and Test Results

Mealtimes with your baby take up a large part of the day, so finding the perfect chair (or even portable high chair) is important. We tested each chair across several metrics to find the best options in the bunch.

Value

Some of the high chairs in this review have high price tags that make them unreachable for those with tighter budgets. Luckily, there are some useful options with very reasonable price tags that have features parents will find helpful, like a removable tray and folding for storage. Both the Graco Slim Snacker and Graco SimpleSwitch are less expensive options that offer what you need without bells and whistles or higher quality materials that drive up prices. If you are looking for something high quality or to use for multiple children, the Abiie Beyond Wooden is a stylish wood option that grows with your child. We think this high chair is a good value despite the higher price as it is less expensive than similar wood chairs, and it can last for a longer time, becoming an adult chair for those up to 250 lbs.

Important Terms

The high chairs we tested work for a range from infancy to a 250-pound adult! They are all considered full-size, meaning they are meant to stay in your home, basically in one location. To get a feel for the features and functions you might want in a high chair, let's review key terms you'll see when reading about high chairs.

The simple 3-point restraint system that buckles around baby's waist.

Credit: Jessica Stevenson

• Harness/Restraint System: This includes the belts, buckles, and straps that retain a baby safely in the chair. Some chairs have a 5-point harness, two shoulder straps, and two waist straps that buckle into a crotch strap. Others have only a 3-point harness with waist straps that buckle into the crotch strap. Still, a minority of options have only side straps that meet in the middle, like an old-school seatbelt. Whatever your preference, a harness should be easy to adjust to get a secure fit.

• Crotch Restraint/Safety Post: The safety post goes between the baby's legs to prevent slipping under the tray or out of the chair. Some chairs have a stationary crotch restraint, and others have a crotch post attached to the tray or seat bottom. We prefer products with a fixed center post as it is a little less likely that the baby will slip out. If the post is connected to the tray, it likely won't fit in the dishwasher, and you can't put the tray flat on the counter, something you'll want to do when prepping a meal.

• Adjustments: Many chairs have adjustable features. Chairs with recline and height-adjustable features tend to offer more comfort for the baby or parent.

• Portability: Full-size high chairs are not portable chairs or boosters suitable for travel. For this review, 'portability' refers to moving around your house.

Compared to others, the Abiie Beyond is one of the easiest high chairs to use.

Ease of Use

Considering how frequently you'll use a high chair throughout the day, it must be easy to operate. Also, quirks that could lead to potential injury or leave marks are serious deal-breakers. Here are some ease-of-use features and quirks to consider:

The seatback of the Slim Snacker can tilt slightly back for feeding younger babies who maybe can't sit upright on their own.

Credit: Abriah Wofford

• Recline: Some chairs recline, but there is one recline feature we like the best. The Peg Perego Siesta's entire seat tilts back to the footrest. Other chairs, like the Graco SimpleSwitch, offer recline, but only the chair's back moves. This style can cause the baby's bottom to slide forward and make it feel like they will slide out of the seat. If your baby is unlikely to fall asleep in their chair, then reclining may not be a big deal for you.

Recline Safety
Always ensure that the baby's fingers are out of the way of potential pinch points when adjusting the seat back! Some recline features create pinch points, and your baby can get hurt when adjusting.

The Abiie has a lot of adjustments for height working as a high chair, booster, and adult chair.

• Height Adjustability: Determine where you think you'll feed your baby. If you sit down at your table and want your baby nearby, most stand-alone chairs should work. You may want a taller chair if you think you'll be standing while feeding your little one. In our tests, we like the more elevated options with adjustable heights. Alternatively, chairs like the Abiie Beyond High Chair, Keekaroo Height Right, and Stokke Tripp Trapp are great options for the table because they can easily push up to most tables of the right height, even counter height. Whatever your preference, check the chair's dimensions to ensure it will work in your space and your lifestyle.

The Stokke Tripp Trapp can easily be pushed up to the table to dine together.

• Comfort Features: Some chairs don't have padding but may provide an ergonomic sitting position. The chairs without fabric cushions are generally easier to keep clean. The Abiie Beyond has a waterproof and stain-resistant cushion you can remove and spray down easily.

Many snack trays, like the one from the Keekaroo shown here, are dishwasher safe, but we recommend using warm soapy water to clean them by hand instead.

Ease of Cleaning

Babies are messy. Toddlers are messier. While comfort for your baby is important, comfort often results in more areas for food to collect. A few options, like the Keekaroo Height Right, have unique design features that eliminate the majority of crevices and provide ergonomic support. To our delight, chairs like the Peg Perego Siesta combine comfort with easy cleanability. Chairs should be easy to clean, especially as you'll be using them often.

Here are a few things to consider when looking for a chair that is a breeze to clean:

• Chair cushions: If it has a padded cushion, ensure the cover wipes clean. Chairs with removable, machine-washable seat cushions are even better. We recommend avoiding fabrics that attract stains or absorb liquids as they require more frequent deep cleaning.

Luckily, those sneaky food-collecting creases in the seat cushion were super easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Credit: Jessica Stevenson

• Base: Larger bases will catch food and require frequent cleaning. Smaller bases or regular legs mean quicker chair clean-up.

• Buckles: Buckles can collect food like crazy. This tendency to collect gunk is why buckles must have few nooks and crannies. Cleaning them is a lot easier when they don't require Q-tip attention.

There is much to love about skipping the need for dishes if you use the Infantino tray insert that acts as a dish and cup holder.

Credit: Abriah Wofford

Some chairs have food trays with a snack tray "cover." For convenience, these tray covers are often top-rack dishwasher safe. However, we recommend washing plastic by hand to to avoid potential chemical leaching and heat-related damage over time. We love the food tray on the Infantino Grow-with-Me as it has dividers for different food types and a cup holder, which could mean making fewer dirty dishes to clean later. The easiest chairs to clean include the Keekaroo Height Right with Infant Insert with a 9 and the Abiie Beyond Wooden with an 8.

Quality

Quality is essential for a product your child sits in multiple times a day, several feet above the floor. The product quality can impact safety, and you'll want a chair that keeps your baby safe and secure during use.

Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair is very well made and does not scream baby furniture.

Credit: Abriah Wofford

Even if you purchase your chair online, we recommend trying to test it in person for yourself; shake it, push it across the floor, adjust the height, and recline, remove the seat cushion, play with the tray. Bring your baby to the store, put them, and take them out. Does it pinch, or will it be harder when your baby is bigger? This in-person experience can give you information on chair stability and the quality of the materials and construction. Buying from a retailer like Amazon allows you to return the chair if it doesn't meet your expectations or needs.

The highest quality options in this review are all wood chairs with a much longer lifetime use moving through your child's growth stages as a high chair, booster, and adult chair or stool. The Stokke Tripp Trapp Bundle earned a 9 for quality, while the Peg Perego Siesta, Keekaroo Height Right, and the Abiie Beyond each earning an 8.

While this Graco can fold in half, it is still not narrow enough for some spaces and you need to remove the tray when you fold it.

Footprint and Portability

The footprint and portability of a high chair refer to the size and how easy it is to move in your house. It is not about whether a chair is suitable for travel. While only a few products have wheels in this review, we think they aren't necessarily easier to move. The smallest footprint in the group is 2.6 sqft for the Abiie Beyond. The Stokke Tripp Trapp is almost as small, taking up 2.8 sqft. The largest is the Infantino 4 in 1 taking up 5.3 sqft of floor space.

Some things to keep in mind:

Footprint Size

The footprint is the floor space the chair occupies. If your kitchen is small, you'll want to pick a chair with a smaller footprint or one that folds.

The front wheels on the Infantino make it easier to move into the best position for feeding and for storage, but it only works well on smooth surfaces as the wheels are too small for carpet or other flooring.

Credit: Abriah Wofford

Wheels

Moving your chair around via wheels may or may not be a priority, but wheels didn't always make moving something easier in our testing. Also, the brakes on the wheels weren't always effective or user-friendly. Wheels can potentially lead to unsupervised and unsafe "rides" around the house from older children, or the chair can shift when you put your baby in if you forget the brakes. Our favorite wheels are on the Peg Perego Siesta, which has an automatic brake lock with an easy press to set and release design. This method is more straightforward than flipping the tiny levers on competing wheels.

Foldability

You may need or want to store your chair out of the way. If you think this is a requirement, you'll need one that folds. The Peg Perego Siesta folds relatively flat, as does the Graco Slim Snacker.

Additional Considerations

• Easiest to get baby in and out - Do pudgy legs get stuck going in or out? Is it a struggle to locate the harness once your baby is in the chair? Does the baby slide around when you remove the tray? Do the brakes work?
• Harnessing baby - Is the harness easy to operate? Can you adjust it with your baby in the seat? Does it have a three or five-point harness? Can it quickly unbuckle? What about with gunk stuck in the buckle?
• Baby's comfort and positioning - Is the seat comfortable, or do you need to reposition your child regularly? Does the tray squish body parts or allow food to fall in the chair or on the floor? Is there enough legroom, and where is the footrest located?
• Ease of use throughout your baby's growth - Will the chair work for an infant and an older toddler?

Credit: Abriah Wofford

Conclusion

A high chair is typically considered must-have baby gear for most parents. While you can skip this purchase with a laid-back lifestyle, it's hard to deny that a high chair can make life easier by creating a dedicated space for your little one to eat, especially if you regularly sit down as a family to eat. Because high chairs are traditionally used for 2-3 years and potentially through multiple children, it's a decision we think you should thoughtfully consider. No matter your specific dining needs or goals, there is a practical, functional (and potentially stylish) high chair for you in this roundup of top products.

REASONS TO AVOID

Not the smallest

The Inglesina Fast Table is a sturdy, portable highchair that keeps a baby's comfort in mind and doesn't skimp on user-friendly features for parents. The chair is relatively easy to attach to a table or bar using the twist-tight clamp system, and sleeve-like covers zip and enclose the hardware. We appreciate its lifted backrest, high-quality canvas, and sufficient seat padding, making the Inglesina experience a comfortable one for babies. Plus, it has a rear pocket to store thin and compact items, like baby bibs and utensils. The fabric is easy to wipe clean, but the canvas seat is removable for hand washing if a deeper clean is needed. Thanks to an attached carry bag hidden within the seat, the chair folds flat and is conveniently contained and ready for travel. A tray accessory is available for purchase.

The Inglesina compactly collapses, but its weight and dimensions are not the smallest in our lineup, decreasing its portability score. If you want the absolute smallest, this option may not be your seat. Despite this, we love the quality and functionality of this versatile seat and highly recommend it.

Important Safety Information:
Your baby's safety should be a top priority when using a portable high chair. Before placing your child in the chair, always be sure to fasten the attachment mechanisms securely so there is absolutely no give or movement in the booster or hook-on. While in use, always monitor your child, and if you're using a booster, do not allow them to push against a table, which can cause the chair to tip over.

The hiccapop OmniBoost is a travel booster seat that looks similar to a foldable camping chair but with some attractive features that can make mealtime away from home more enjoyable. It is easy to pop and close with very few steps, plus it includes a carry bag that is handy to grab and go. The removable tray is easy to click on and conveniently fits in the carry bag. There is a mesh pocket on the backside of the seat that we like to use for essentials, such as baby utensils or an extra bib. The chair includes "duck feet" that slide over the chair's standard feet for added stability. Use this chair outdoors or inside, on the ground, or at the dinner table, as it has straps that can attach to an adult chair. Not only is this option budget-friendly, but we think it is sturdy and functional.

The tray is wide yet narrow and will not catch everything your little one drops. Also, some users report the chair's fabric seat can stretch over time. While testing, we did notice some "give" in the fabric. However, the hiccapop will not be your primary highchair, and we think it is satisfactory for traveling needs; plus, the price tag is attractive, making it a good option for those on a budget.

Zipper unexpectedly comes undone

The Mountain Buggy Pod is an easy-to-use hook-on chair compact enough to fit in a large diaper bag or a stroller basket. Coming in at only 2.2 lbs, it is one of the lightest portable chairs in our tests. The simple design is easy to attach and remove from tables by twisting or untwisting the clamps. The Pod has a solid aluminum frame and a zippered fabric cover that makes the chair highly portable, thanks to the winning combination of sturdy yet lightweight materials.

This portable high chair only fits tabletops thinner than 1.8", so it may not work in every location. Also, one of the significant downsides is the size of the leg holes. They are much smaller than we would expect with the weight limit. The problem becomes especially apparent if your baby wears shoes or has adorably chunky thighs. Another drawback is that the fabric is not machine washable. Luckily, it is easy enough to wipe down, but you will have to unzip and wash it by hand when it requires a deep clean. Before each use, you will need to make sure zippers are secure when putting it back on, as there have been reports of the cover unexpectedly unzipping. Overall, the Pod is one of the lightest and smallest seats, making it a handy travel companion.

Need to double-check the t-straps

Mealtime mess will happen, so having a super easy to clean portable high chair can make a world of difference. For this reason, the Fisher-Price Healthy Care Booster Seat earns an award. We appreciate that the design has minimal small crevices for crumbs to hide, and a good wipe-down is sufficient to keep this chair clean. Plus, the removable feeding tray is dishwasher safe - although we recommend handwashing to extend its longevity. The adjustable straps attach to the underside and back of an adult chair for a secure fit, and it has three height settings. When you're ready to hit the road, the back of the chair folds down for travel and storage.

Some crafty toddlers can figure out how to remove the upper feeding tray, leading to a big mess on the floor. Also, users report that the t-straps holding the harness straps to the chair can work themselves free. Since the tray cannot keep a child in place, it is essential to check that these straps are secure before each use. Despite these drawbacks, the Healthy Care Booster is an excellent, easy to clean choice that can last for years.

Why You Should Trust Us

When choosing and ranking portable high chairs, we wanted to ensure we thought of everything. After over 70 hours of combined testing and research, we found the top contenders. We measured, used, cleaned, and compared. We conducted an extensive analysis of the products and, most importantly, used the seats with young children to help us determine our favorites. We then took all the information we gathered and condensed it into test metric results and helpful buying advice, so you can be confident in your purchase.

BabyGearLab has been purchasing and reviewing baby gear since 2013. Leading the portable highchair review is our founder, Dr. Juliet Spurrier. Dr. Spurrier is a board-certified pediatrician and mother of 2. As a doctor, she has a background in childhood safety concerns and the potential results of poorly designed or inappropriately used gear. Dr. Spurrier approves all final competitors using this background and her time as a mother to guide her. The team also includes Senior Review Editor, Wendy Schmitz, mother of 2 and an invaluable team member at BabyGearLab. Between her scientific training and analytical background, plus knowledge of baby products and motherly experience, Wendy helps analyze test results and rank the competition. Providing additional support to the review is Senior Review Editor, Molly Bradac, who we consider the 'Mary Poppins' among the team. Molly has accumulated an impressive profile as a career nanny with over 15 years of experience. Most of her positions included national and international travel, which allows her to bring a unique perspective, experience, and knowledge base to identify qualities of top-performing products and provide recommendations to families based on their needs and budget.

Analysis and Test Results

There are multiple portable high chair options on the market, so considering a few factors is a must to choose the perfect chair. We extensively tested the competition, including hands-on testing and side-by-side comparisons, to determine which products stand out and which fall short, providing you with the details you need to make an informed decision.

Value

The hiccapop OmniBoost chair is wallet-friendly and a great value. It's versatile, use it outside or inside, and we don't doubt you'll get your money's worth. The Fisher-Price is another attractive low-cost product that is easy to clean. But, if your budget is slightly more flexible, the Inglesina offers higher quality and compatibility with various tables you may encounter when out and about. We realize there's a higher upfront cost with this option, but we believe there's value in this purchase, especially if you plan to use it frequently to dine out, trips to the grandparents' house, or as your primary high chair. We think it is worth the cost if you meet these parameters. However, if you don't, a cheaper option may better suit your needs.

The phil & teds Lobster is one of the smallest and lightest products in our review.The hiccapop OmniBoost comes with a handy carry bag that holds everything together, including the chair, tray, and "duck feet."The Chicco Pocket Booster Seat folds into a compact size, but it is not the smallest nor lightest product in our lineup, and although it has a carry strap, it doesn't have a carry bag.

Portability

There are several types of portable high chairs, and they all have different features that make them portable. To evaluate portability, we took a close look at weight and dimensions. These factors influence how easy a product is to transport, and some might even potentially fit in your diaper bag, stroller basket, luggage, or car trunk.

We consider weight to be an essential consideration when making your purchase. We suggest thinking about how and where you plan to use the chair and how weight might impact your day-to-day use. Situations can include occasional visits to grandparents, restaurant outings, everyday home use, or far-away travel. We found the hook-on chairs to be more travel-friendly than boosters, as they fold down and usually fit inside an included carry bag. Honestly, being able to fold the chair flat, slip it in a travel sack, and toss it over your shoulder is all too convenient.

The Summer Pop 'n Dine SE Highchair is one of the largest and heaviest among the competition.

Among the competition, the Mountain Buggy Pod ranks high in this metric, scoring 9 of 10. Compared to others, this hook-on style chair has an impressively low weight, is one of the smallest when folded, and includes a carry bag, making it travel-friendly for most scenarios. The OXO Tot Perch with Straps also ranks high compared to others, thanks to being lightweight (although it doesn't beat the Mountain Buggy) and folds up small for travel. Also, this option doesn't include a carry bag if this is a deal-breaker for you.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Summer Pop 'n Dine SE Highchair ranks the lowest, scoring 2 of 10. Compared to others, this portable high chair is one of the largest and heaviest, and these factors hurt its overall portability score. This option includes a carry bag with a handy carry strap, which adds convenience when transporting. Still, it will take up space in your vehicle's trunk, or if you're on foot, carrying your baby and a diaper bag, plus a heavy chair, is likely not something you want to add to the mix.

Safety First:
Hook-on chairs should not be attached to a glass surface, single pedestal table, loose tabletop, table leaf, card table, or over tablecloths or placemats.

The Fisher-Price Healthy Care Booster Seat offers versatility with its various trays and adjustments.The hiccapop OmniBoost is easy to pop open, includes a removable tray, and is functional for outdoor or indoor mealtime.

Ease of Use

For this metric, we determined that the complexity of assembly and disassembly are two main factors at play and the comfort for babies. Therefore, we kept these factors in mind when evaluating the lineup. We also asked things like: How many parts does it have? How long does it take to put together and pack up every time? Are there any features that add to the chair's ease of use?

In our opinion, less is more, and a product that can be ready to go in seconds is invaluable, especially when you toss in a hungry toddler into the mix, creating the perfect recipe for a meltdown.

The Summer Pop 'n Dine SE Highchair easily pops open and closes without any hassle, which is great when you have a hungry child on your hands.

Among the competition, the the Inglesina ranks high in this metric, scoring 9 of 10. This contender has qualities of luxury that we admire, such as a high-quality canvas that offers more padding and a cockpit with more support than others, which collectively create a more comfortable sitting experience for babies. Ranking right below the Inglesina yet higher than many others are the hiccapop OmniBoost and Summer Pop 'n Dine SE Highchair, scoring 8 of 10. These options don't offer impressive comfort like the Inglesina, but they have super quick and straightforward folding systems, whereas many others take more time to set up and takedown.

The Chicco Pocket Booster Seat offers three height settings to accommodate growing children and tables of differing levels.The Chicco Pocket Booster Seat includes a tray; however, we struggle with getting it on.

Scoring 4 of 10, the Chicco Pocket Booster Seat ranks low in this metric for many reasons. Although it offers height adjustability, which can be helpful, we believe the chair's hard plastic and bare minimum design lack comfort for babies compared to other contenders. Plus, we struggled with getting the tray on, leaving us feeling frustrated because the task should be easy. We noticed ourselves preferring to use other options over the Chicco.

A Note on Compatibility:
Not every seat works with every table, countertop, or chair, and if you are traveling, you may not know what to expect. For example, booster seats can strap onto most dining chairs but become problematic when faced with a booth. Likewise, some hook-on chairs do not fit round tables or vertical skirts, and you CAN'T use hook-on options with glass tabletops. Tables that are flimsy, foldable, or single pedestals are also a no-go. However, the Summer Pop 'n Dine SE Highchair and hiccapop OmniBoost (if you use the chairs on the ground) can be used independently and don't depend on a table or an adult chair, which increases versatility.

Ease of Cleaning

Babies are messy, especially during mealtime, so finding an easy-to-clean chair is a big plus. Conquering mealtime mess with a quick wipe-down can simplify your life, and we prefer chairs with smooth surfaces and minimal cracks and creases for crumbs to collect and hide. After all, if you are cleaning up after little ones by the hour, why not make it as painless as possible?

The Fisher-Price Healthy Care Deluxe ranks the highest in this metric, scoring 9 of 10. This hard plastic exterior option is quick to wipe down and has minimal creases to trap food and liquid. Plus, its tray is dishwasher-safe - score! The Summer Pop 'n Dine SE Highchair and the hiccapop OmniBoost are other easy-to-clean options, thanks to their removable, machine-washable canvas covers, making the overall cleaning task more manageable.

The tray of the Fisher-Price only needs a quick wipe down to be squeaky clean again.The Inglesina Fast Table has zip-up sleeve-like covers that hide any hardware of the twist-tight couplings.

On the contrary, many hook-on portable high chairs rank low in this metric. The phil and teds Lobster ranks the lowest, scoring 3 of 10, and the Inglesina Fast Table and Mountain Buggy Pod rank slightly higher, yet low, scoring 4 and 5 of 10, respectively. These hook-on portable high chairs have hard-to-clean areas, particularly where the canvas sides meet the padded seat. Food crumbs love to accumulate in this area, which is easy to overlook. Using a slightly dampened cloth, you can brush the crumbs out of this area, but you'll need to remove the canvas and hand wash it for a deep clean. We consider this task more time-consuming compared to hard plastic options or those with machine-washable covers. Also, removing the canvas covers varies among this small group of hook-on chairs. The Mountain Buggy Pod has a zipper system that makes removing the canvas more accessible and relatively quick. The Inglesina's cover is easy to remove but takes longer to thread it back on the frame, and the phil and ted seat requires the most effort as it requires a tool, which isn't as handy.

There's likely a product in our lineup that will meet your needs. But, before selecting a portable high chair, we suggest putting some thought into how you plan on using the chair and how often. These factors, plus budget, may influence your decision-making.

16 best highchairs for feeding at about 5-6 months. By this time, the child can eat at the common table. This procedure can become more comfortable and convenient for mother and child with the help of a special high chair.

Not all parents are in a hurry to buy a product of this type, considering it just another accessory, but later appreciate all the usefulness and practicality of such a purchase.

But there is no need to hurry with the choice, it is necessary to take into account all the nuances that may arise during the purchase of such a product as a highchair for feeding.

What are the main types of chairs:

• Classic. This is an ordinary high chair, which allows the baby to eat at the common table on an equal basis with the rest. Some models can be adjusted in height.
• Transformer. As you can understand from the name, such a chair, through simple manipulations, can easily turn into a walker, for example, or a swing, or a separate chair and table, which can be used up to 6-7 years.
• Boosters. These models have a small height and are simply placed on top of an adult chair and securely fastened to it with straps. It is worth remembering that this is not the safest type of highchairs, but it is compact.
• Mounted. Here, too, everything is quite clear, the system is attached to the table and the child sits in it. This category is the most unreliable. For such a chair, a massive table is needed, which is not afraid of scratches from hard fasteners, and the baby should not be too active so that he cannot roll over along with the entire structure.

The final choice of the type of highchair will depend, firstly, on the price category you are counting on, and, secondly, on the amount of free space that you have.

What other features should be considered when making a purchase decision:

• Production material. Wood, plastic, metal, textile.
• Worktop. Feeding is made more convenient by the presence of a separate tabletop for the baby, especially if it is removable and has high sides and a recess for dishes.
• Adjustment. The ability to adjust the height of the chair will make it possible to use it for as long as possible, moving the child lower and lower.
• Wheels. Wheeled legs make the highchair more mobile. But be sure to check the presence of latches on them, which ensure the safety of the baby.
• Seat belts. The high chair must be equipped with a three or five point safety harness.

The best classic high chairs

These high chairs are made without unnecessary details with a minimum set of basic functions. Their components are a chair on a frame with a table top, but since everything is now focused on multifunctionality, they are often equipped with additional options: they can have a folding mechanism, they allow you to adjust the position and height.

Tabletops can also be of various shapes, sizes, with or without sides, have a recess for a glass. And classic chairs are not uncommon now have wheels for ease of movement around the apartment.

Basically, they are designed for babies aged 6 months to 3 years, but if the high chair has a backrest adjustment function, then you can use it from birth as a deck chair, because thanks to the seat belts, the child will be securely fixed.

The seat height can also be adjusted, lowering it almost to the floor, or raising it to a height of 103 cm.

The table top can also be installed in three different positions. It can also be removed completely and fixed on the back of the legs, which is very convenient and compact. The top tray has high sides, two recesses for glasses and is also removed separately. All removable parts (table top, insert, seat belts) are easy to clean and clean.

In general, most reviews of this chair are positive, but many customers complain about the problem that occurs when moving this model on parquet, laminate or tile.

The best wooden high chairs

Wood is an environmentally friendly and durable material, has hypoallergenic properties and a high chair made from this natural material will decorate any space.

With such a product, you are insured against the effects of toxic substances, and the vapors of natural wood will even be beneficial, although it is worth evaluating the environmental friendliness of the coating.

Treated wood almost does not absorb foreign substances, as a rule, a protective coating is applied on top, due to which the chair is easy to clean. But such chairs will be more massive than analogues from other materials, they do not have a quick folding system, and often they are not adjustable in height.

3 Wilt Alex

Opens the category wooden chair from the domestic manufacturer VILT Alex. This is a 2 in 1 model: a high chair for feeding in the assembly, and a school desk and a chair for it separately. This is a fairly strong and stable design, and, apparently, that is why the manufacturer did not equip the highchair with five or at least three-point seat belts, but only with a crossbar between the legs. The maximum load is 35 kg.

Comes with a washable soft textile seat cover and matching armrests. The chair itself is wide, so it is suitable even for the largest babies. The table top is removable.

Many mothers complain about rather mediocre assembly instructions, as well as the lack of necessary holes for self-tapping screws in some places, so it is better to arm yourself with a screwdriver during installation, because. an ordinary screwdriver will be of little use. Wooden components are sanded and varnished, but there may still be poorly processed places, so it’s better to check the smoothness of the surface right away so that you don’t pull the splinter out of the child’s fingers later.

This is the most inexpensive model of the entire rating and such a budget price is due to the simplicity of the design and materials from which this product is made.

Pros:

• Budget price.
• Removable table.
• Transforms into a school desk.
• Made from environmentally friendly materials.
• Stable.
• Wide seat.
• Soft armrests.

Cons:

• Incomprehensible assembly instructions.
• Poorly processed wood.
• One seat belt only.

It can be installed in three different positions closer to or further from the seat. The updated model of "Mishutka" is equipped with a soft insert with three-point seat belts, in contrast to the previous versions with oilcloth upholstery and a crossbar only between the legs.

The best inexpensive high chairs

pay attention to budget versions.

2 Polini 252

The second among inexpensive highchairs is the universal model Polini 252. This is a standard highchair made of metal and plastic, with a footboard, a fixed table top and a soft insert on the seat made of medical oilcloth. Both the seat and the tabletop, thanks to the materials from which they are made, are easily cleaned of food residues or any other contaminants. The table also has a removable tray with a convenient recess for dishes and high sides, so even if a glass of liquid or a bowl of soup turns over, all their contents will not spill onto the floor.

The seat belts prevent the child from slipping down from the seat, and the plastic pads on the legs guarantee a high stability of the structure. Below, between the legs, you can fix a capacious grid for small things, in which you can store your baby's favorite toys.

Highchair Selby SH-252

Which highchair to choose

• First of all, you should understand what price segment you are counting on. More expensive models combine several functions and are equipped with additional accessories, while more budgetary chairs perform only the main task - a convenient meal for the baby - and are made of the simplest materials.
• You also need to understand how much free space you have in your kitchen. After all, if there is not so much space, then you should pay attention to compact folding models, booster chairs, or even hinged ones. And also such models are well suited for parents who travel often, because they are easy to transport with them.
• Initially, you need to think about what age you are counting on. If you plan to use a high chair from birth, then it is better to give preference to multifunctional models that combine a high chair, a deck chair for a newborn, an electric swing, a walker, etc. If, on the contrary, you want the design to remain useful for as long as possible, it is better to purchase 2 in 1 table-chair transformers.
• Be sure to check the quality of plastic and metal parts. They should not be flimsy or wobbly, and have an unpleasant odor. If the model is equipped with wheels for easy movement of the chair around the apartment, then they must be equipped with stoppers, preferably on all wheels, and not just the rear or only the front. It is necessary to remember about the safety of the baby, checking the presence of safety belts, the absence of sharp parts in the design and other trifles that can in any way injure the child.
• The most comfortable models are those with adjustable backrest, height of the chair itself, height and position of the table top and footrest. They can be fully customized to suit all the needs of the child. And for very active kids, you should choose chairs equipped with panels with toys or a music module.

Happy shopping!

Peg perego Tatamia!!! Believe me, it's better not to find!

At first I also looked at him, but then I found the Japanese highchair Aprika. It is better in that it unfolds to a prone position. Those. the child does not lie sitting, as in Tatamiya. Now if in the kitchen, I put the child in a chair and with me. It's too early to sit, but I've been using this chair since birth.

We had a Geoby high chair. Very cool, I have two kids with him. It also transforms and turns out to be a rocking chair, it’s just that the position of the wheels changes, very easily. She rocked the children. By the way, I took Paremo through the online store, I think it’s more profitable all the same and cheaper and you don’t waste time searching.

We have walkers from this company, I know that their quality is decent. And how to find your Paremo? I want to look at the chair, which also transforms into a rocking chair. I got interested :) If you take it on the Internet, how does it work with delivery? Postal or what?

Anasteinat

Yes, the quality of Geoby products is excellent. We also took a stroller, and here is a high chair. And here is the address of the website of the Paremo store www.paremo.ru. Their delivery is prompt, usually they bring it the next day, and if you live in another city, then they will bring it a little longer due to the shipment. There is cash and non-cash payment. 11 March 2013 My girlfriend has one, so it's just a great thing. And which one did you buy? What is it made of? I just want good quality. Are there any additional discounts in Paremo? It is very good that they have such prompt delivery, but how much does it cost in Moscow? You know?

March 16, 2013, 20:18

Anasteinat

Well, see for yourself, in the Paremo store there are many different chairs, there are ordinary wooden ones. They then transform into a chair with a table, when the baby grows up, he can sit not only eat at him, but also play, draw, sculpt, etc. Here is our high chair http://www.paremo.ru/catalog/goods/74231.html. It has a double table top. the top can be removed. also his legs change position and the baby can be rocked into the chair or just shake, I’ll tell you right away that I liked swinging so much. ))) There are different colors. It is made partly of metal and plastic, very strong. Delivery is not expensive in Paremo, and if you order more than 5 thousand, then it is generally free.

Guest

we have peg perego prima pappa diner (uh!) - everyone is good, very comfortable, washable, reclines. two things - due to the design it takes up a lot of space (if you have a small kitchen, it is better to take a chair that has a square at the base and rides up and down the racks like an elevator). and second - I don't really like the table - it's too high and not horizontal. everything else is great.

Guest

There were several high chairs from both CAM and BRIO, but the child refused to sit in them. Therefore, by chance, at Ikea, they put him in a simple chair, which is called Antelope, or some other Gazelle. They bought him, he sat in it and ate himself.
I really wanted to show off somehow, but it turned out I didn’t have to.
