Having a sturdy, easy-to-clean high chair can be the difference between a manageable mealtime and a full-blown mess in the kitchen. And while we’ve written about lots of things to keep toddlers (and their parents) happy — including expert-recommended baby monitors, baby soaps, and baby-shower gifts — here, we’ve rounded up the best high chairs, as praised by the most enthusiastic reviewers on Amazon.

Cosco Simple Fold High Chair

From $65

4. 6 stars, 17,449 reviews

From $65

Reviewers could barely contain their enthusiasm that a high chair this durable and compact could exist at such a reasonable price. “Lightweight, easily cleans, sturdy, portable to Grandma’s house and easily folds for storage. I love this high chair I bought for my Grandson. The tray is easy to clean as well, the pattern is cheery too,” raves one reviwer, adding, “I would buy another in a heartbeat should I be blessed with another baby in our lives.” Another reviwer calls this “by far the best high chair on the market.” “I have 5 children and needed to find something that was quick, easy to use and folded up for storage. This does all those things and more,” says another. Another reviewer used all-caps font multiple times to express how pleased she was: “I bought two of these chairs for my twins and they’re PERFECT. It’s a GREAT price and it came ALREADY PUT TOGETHER. I literally had to put the triangle things on the feet and it just folded out ready to go!”

Graco Simple Switch Portable High Chair and Booster

4.7 stars, 5,213 reviews

$166

Easy is a word that comes up in hundreds of reviews of this high chair and booster seat, starting with putting it together. According to one reviewer, “I assembled it in about 15 minutes with two children under two in the room. The instructions are clear and easy to understand and there aren’t any small, mystery pieces.” Dozens of other enthusiastic reviewers were equally pleased with how easy it was to clean this high chair after inevitable messes. One happy mother remarked, “The best part is the ease to clean; the seat cover is one piece (so no rogue food bits hiding underneath) when a simple wipe down isn’t enough the whole seat cover easily comes of and goes into the washing machine, even the straps easily come apart and can be thrown in the washer; air dry it all and the high chair is good as new!” Aside from its functionality, reviewers praised the high chair’s adorable appearance, with one going so far as to say her son “looks SO comfortable in this chair we say he looks like a king on his throne.”

JOOVY Nook High Chair

4.7 stars, 4,482 reviews

$140

Reviewers of the Joovy Nook were thrilled about this high chair’s large and functional swivel tray, a feature that came up in hundreds of reviews. According to one very enthusiastic reviewer, “The swing out tray is an absolute lifesaver, no running back and forth to get the high chair ready and then grabbing the baby — I just put him on my hip, and I can swing open the high chair tray with one hand, it’s amazing.” Other reviewers agreed with this happy mom, who explains that the tray’s plastic top which is very easy to remove and wash: “The removable tray is a great feature, especially for messy meals. Just pop it off and you have less the mess.” The seat is also easy-to-clean. As one parent attests, “The seat cover is SO nice - I wish my car’s upholstery was made out of this stuff. It wipes clean but has this really cool leather look to it.”

Graco Slim Snacker Ultra Compact High Chair

4.8 stars, 18,119 reviews

$70

You can open and close this high chair with one hand, which means one reviewer “can easily maneuver with the chair while wrangling my wiggly 8-month-old, and folding it down is a breeze.” The folding design makes it easy to store in limited space, which one small-apartment-dweller appreciates. She also describes both feeding her son and cleaning the aftermath as “easy” with this chair: “My son sits comfortably and is at a level and height I can easily feed him. Cleanup is easy; a wet cloth or Clorox wipe, and all is right in the world.” The plastic tray and seat pads are easy to remove, which helps with that cleanup. “It survived our daughter’s first-birthday smash cake,” writes one reviewer, who says this “easy-to-wipe down” chair is also “pretty durable,” seeing as she has used it for both of her children. Even though it folds up at the yank of a strap, she adds that the chair’s tray still has “a ton of room for her food, and room for a slap on suction cup tray toy.

Chicco Caddy Hook-On Chair

4.7 stars, 765 reviews

$48

“Hands down my favorite baby item I’ve ever purchased,” says one reviewer, who bought this hook-on high chair as a last-minute purchase for travel but has been using it in lieu of a standard high chair ever since returning home. “I use it at the table when we eat as a family and I’ll attach it to my kitchen bar. My daughter loves to sit in it and watch me wash dishes and cook,” she adds. Another parent hooks the chair “to our picnic table when we eat dinner outside,” and a pleased grandparent bought it “to have a place at the table for my grandson without adding furniture to my kitchen. Easy to store when he isn’t here. Easy to wash too.” Because it’s so compact, with no legs, it’s “easy to store” yet still “really secure. My 9 month old, 21 lb daughter loves bouncing around in it, but that sucker is so tight on the table that there are no worries.”

Baby Trend Sit Right High Chair, Bobble Heads

$60

4.7 stars, 3,755 reviews

$60

Reviewers love that this versatile Baby Trend high chair features six different heights and three recline adjustments. “My daughter is 7 months old. She sits in the seat comfortably with room to grow,” writes one reviewer. “Adjustable heights mean I can push it up to the kitchen counter for my daughter to watch me cook, lower it for her to join us at the dining room table, or feed her while sitting on the couch. ” The height adjustments were also a bonus for another reviewer, who says you can “feed if you’re standing or sitting” and likes to lower it so their “other child can play with the baby at his height.” And one reviewer proclaims it to be “the perfect high chair” for its “easy-to-use lock-in seat belt” and “adjustable height and adjustable seat, which really comes in handy when you are teaching your little one how to use a sippy cup and they have to tilt their heads way back.” The chair’s detachable components mean it’s “super easy to clean from top to bottom,” they add, and when you’re finished with it, “you simply pull the handles up on each side and it folds to a smaller size for storage.”

Fisher-Price SpaceSaver High Chair

$54

4.7 stars, 9,829 reviews

$54

This legless high chair securely attaches to other chairs of various sizes — including office and dining-room chairs — something that’s appreciated by more than 200 reviewers who live in small spaces. “This is great!” writes one reviewer whose cramped apartment didn’t have room for a full-size high chair. “We can use it on the floor and in a chair at the table. [It’s an] inexpensive option for a serious space saver.” They’re especially a fan of the chair’s adjustable back, which came in handy when their son “was starting to eat at 5 months but couldn’t completely sit up on his own yet.” Another reviewer calls it the “perfect solution for a small space,” as they don’t have a formal dining room. “A traditional high chair was a no-go!” They say this chair “fits nicely on our kitchen counter and is low profile enough to slide under the cupboards when we’re not using it.” And a third reviewer even went so far as to declare there’s “no reason to ever buy a huge, expensive high chair” after they purchased this one. They say this booster has worked wonderfully for their five daughters because “it does not take up any extra space, it just sits in a chair we already had. My [youngest] daughter is happy and comfortable in it and I could not be happier.”

Evenflo Convertible High Chair

$70

4.7 stars, 4,645 reviews

$70

“It’s a sturdy highchair (I was worried about how stable it would be, and it’s very stable), and converts to a perfect toddler size table and chair,” explains one reviwer, who notes, “I wish I’d had this for my other 3 kids.” Another reviewer reiterates the sturdiness, despite the convertible, two-piece design: “I have hyper dogs that run into it and I don’t worry that they will knock it over or collapse it like other ones. I like how it converts to a smaller high chair for when we eat in our living room (football games and such) and then into a toddler table and chair for later.” The multipurpose functionality also means this is a high chair that can grow with kids. “We began using it around four months and are still comfortably using it at over a year old,” says one parent. “The straps are convenient for keeping little one in a chair while we hangout outside, and the table allows him to do crafts and eat ‘like a big boy.’”

“Love that this chair rolls from room to room and that it can lean back,” begins one shopper, who appreciates that she can move around the house doing dishes or laundry while her daughter can “lie back or eat a snack. ” Those easy-to-move wheels come “with locks that can easily be fastened to disable moving,” adds another parent, who uses this chair daily and likes that the “legs of the chair are set very wide apart for maximum stability.” Many reviewers describe this chair as “stable,” including one who points out that people with especially squirmy babies should keep an eye on the chair when it’s in use but still feels her child “is safe and secure while in this seat, and he is quite all right with sitting in it.” Given its lower price point, some customers were initially skeptical about the quality, but at least one is now “pleasantly surprised!” They add, “It is well made, lightweight, and very easy to assemble.”

Joovy Foodoo Reclinable High Chair

$270

4.5 stars, 453 reviews

$270

This Joovy high chair can recline into one of five positions with the press of a button, a feature many reviewers say makes feedings much easier. “I can feed my baby a bottle … And give my arm a rest,” writes one customer, who appreciates that the height of the chair adjusts for “standing or sitting” feedings. Another shopper, whose child holds his own bottle, “can give him a bottle while he’s in it, recline [the] seat, and go about what I was doing.” On top of all the functionality, this high chair actually looks nice. One parent found it “surprisingly hard to find a reclining high chair that looks nice at a decent price,” but this one ticks all the boxes and has a safe five-point harness system. “You only have to do one simple click,” they say. “I can comfortably cook with hands free and have my child pulled up within arm’s reach and have her feeding herself a bottle [while] watching me cook, and I know she’s safe. That is priceless.”

Graco Blossom 6-in-1 Convertible High Chair

4.8 stars, 10,411 reviews

$200

“This awesome offering from Graco knocks everything else I’ve ever seen out of the park,” writes one reviewer of this convertible high chair. “Versatile is the key here,” they continue, explaining, “There are six settings that will, in principle, get your baby not only in a chair for feeding but also up to the table when the time is right.” Many other reviewers voiced similar compliments, praising this high chair’s versatility and ability to serve a variety of functions as a baby gets bigger. A mother of two says that after a year of use, her 16-month-old is “transitioning to the booster seat, so that her baby sister will be able to use the highchair function while she uses the toddler part. ” Another happy mom appreciates that this high chair “eliminates the cost of a booster seat and table seat down the road.” Plus, the wheels mean “Baby can eat anywhere, even with mom and dad as they watch the game.”

Stokke Tripp Trapp High Chair

$299

4.8 stars, 1,404 reviews

$299

“Most high chairs are extremely ugly, clunky, or look like something you’d sit on at the hair salon. I wanted something that wasn’t such an eyesore AND easy to clean,” one reviewer begins. They say they love the “super cute” design of this Stokke chair — and that they can get any food spills off it with just “a few swipes with a damp cloth.” Though it is certainly not cheap, another reviewer says the Tripp Trapp is very durable and can endure years of daily use. They’ve used it for six years and “stand behind the investment 100% … It truly grows with your child and it looks cool.” And a third happy reviewer thinks that this chair “is worth every single penny … It is a beautiful modern chair that actually looks nice in your kitchen (not an eyesore like every other high chair).” But they add that the “best part” is that “my child loves sitting in it! She hated sitting in her previous high chair. Tell every new mother to register for this chair!”

Abiie Beyond Wooden High Chair

$250 now 20% off

4.7 stars, 4,667 reviews

$200

Many parents looking for more supportive high chairs turn to this wooden one, like one who explains, “We had a different high chair but my 12-month-old has never looked very comfortable in it from day one. He would slump sideways when eating and fuss to get out of the chair as soon as possible. With this chair, he sits with great posture and will now spend 45 minutes at the dinner table just sitting in his chair and playing with his food.” And many people like the natural wood finish, citing it as a draw. “I still love the look of this high chair and ease of clean up compared to plastic and fabric chairs,” admits one reviwer, while another says, “This is a well-built solid wood high chair. Its simple design makes for easy cleaning and use.”

Ciao! Baby Portable High Chair

$64

4.5 stars, 4,575 reviews

$64

“This is hands down the absolute best highchair purchase I have ever made. It’s quick, easy, and so portable,” raves one reviwer, noting, “It fold up to the size of a fold up chair that you would use at a sporting event or camping. This highchair is so good, that it has replaced the actual highchair at our house and has become our primary one.” Several reviewers admit to keeping it in the trunk of their cars, so it’s always on-hand, like one who explains, “I have been asked many times where I got this as it’s such a handy thing to have! We just keep it in the back of our van so we always have a highchair on the go. I use it in restaurants (verses using the restaurant ones that are often times not the cleanest), at friend’s houses, camping - you name it!” And many other adventurous parents like bringing this along for camping, with one reviewer even noting its the thing that helped her friend actually take her baby into the great outdoors: “ She was worried bringing her baby camping. He loved it, she was calm and it was the first time in a long time the baby slept for 9 hours straight and he needed a nap in the middle of the day. The chair made camping so much easier as he sat around the campfire with the rest of us.”

Best Baby High Chairs for 2022

Becoming a new parent is overwhelming. What will your baby even need, let alone want? I spent hours trawling baby sites and Amazon for car seats, cribs and high chairs and reading dozens of reviews trying to figure out what to buy for the day my baby would need it.

Now that my son is 9 months old and eating solids (and throwing them across the room), I put 13 different high chairs to the test. I nailed down the best high chairs across every category, from fitting into small spaces to the most cleanable, best convertible and even the most luxe. Yes -- there are luxe high chairs.

Here are my picks for every category, plus notes and our methodology for choosing the best high chairs.

Chicco Polly Progress Relax 5-in-1 Highchair

Best overall high chair

Where other high chairs are difficult, the Polly Progress is easy. It's got four recline angles and eight height positions, which are genuinely simple to transition between. It's so easy to fold up and down one-handed that it makes you wonder why the others are so hard to adjust. It's easy to adjust the tray, easy to roll, easy to lock the wheels, easy to build, easy to recline and easy to fold the armrests up and down. It also transitions between five modes to last you through infancy and early childhood: a newborn recliner complete with toy bar, infant high chair, toddler booster, big kid booster and youth stool. Though several other high chairs also came with an additional booster seat, the Polly Progress even included padding.

It's a nice looking high chair and comes in either black or black and gray.

Price: $230

Safety 1st 3-in-1 Grow and Go High Chair

Best high chair under $100

The Safety 1st 3-in-1 high chair is fairly easy to put together, with six heights and four swiveling wheels. It's very easy to use; my baby's feet reached the footrest because it tilts upward or downward to adjust for height, and he looked very comfortable in the seat. The tray goes back nice and far, and the chair has a cushioned seat that's also easily wipeable and foldable.

It comes in four color options: light gray, dark gray, green chevron and teal polka dots. It reminds me of the Chicco Polly Progress, but on a much more affordable level.

Maxi Cosi Minla 6 in 1

Best convertible high chair

The Maxi Cosi Minla is cushy, folds down nicely and reminds me of a first-class airplane seat. The stylish high chair has six modes: An infant recliner; a baby high chair; a high chair seat and tray table that can be attached to a dining chair; a seat that can be attached to a dining chair without the tray, so your toddler can tuck into the table; a toddler seat; and a booster seat. It has nine height positions, five recline positions and four tray positions, and an adjustable footrest that your baby and toddler will definitely be able to reach. The tray insert is dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean.

It folds right down, but it can be hard to fold up and down by yourself. The tray also can't be pushed in very far, because of the big block between the baby's legs.

It's got an attractive design and comes in four color options: light gray, dark gray, navy blue and pink.

Primo Cozy Tot Deluxe

Best standing high chair for small spaces

The Cozy Tot Deluxe is a tiny, basic high chair with a great adjustable footrest that babies and toddlers can reach. There's no padding on the chair, so it's easy to keep clean, and the tray table folds down. The high chair takes up very little room (though it doesn't fold down any smaller), making it great for families living in smaller spaces who still want a traditional standing high chair -- or for grandparents or other caretakers who want a high chair for visits. The tray is a little on the small side, but it has a cup holder and curves nicely around your baby. The whole thing also conveniently transforms into a toddler chair once your child grows up and no longer needs a high chair. It doesn't have a five-point harness but comes with a lap belt, and the chair back doesn't come up high enough to provide head support.

It comes in black and white or teal and white.

Chicco QuickSeat Hook-On Chair

Best dining table-ready and portable high chair

The Chicco QuickSeat hooks directly onto your dining table or kitchen countertop, so your baby can sit with the family at mealtimes without taking up any additional space. It feels really secure, and you can easily slide a splat mat underneath to catch the spills. My baby seemed very comfortable sitting in the seat. The QuickSeat also folds down, so it's great for taking on vacation. The downside is you can't pull the tray any closer to your baby, so he or she needs to lean forward to get to food, meaning a lot drops in your baby's lap. There's no footrest, either. Because the chair's so small, there's also no five-point harness, just a lap belt, and the back of the chair reaches up only to my baby's upper back.

The QuickSeat comes in black, dark gray, light gray, red and teal.

Peg Perego Siesta

Most luxurious high chair

The Peg Perego Siesta comes out of the box almost fully built, with a faux leather seat and a great selection of colors to choose from. We nicknamed this super stylish chair the Ferrari -- it's made in Italy, and I tested out the Ferrari-esque berry color, with an elastic compartment on the back of the seat, like in a car. The fabric is easy to wipe, and the chair has four wheels and is sturdy.

On the cons side, the tray didn't slide in quite far enough for my little guy, meaning more mess spills onto the actual seat; the cup holder was a little shallow, and his feet didn't reach the footrest yet -- so you'll have to wait for the toddler years to use that.

The Siesta has the most color options out of any chair I tried: Beige, berry, brown, brown and white, three types of gray, apple green, black, orange and striped white, gray and black. It's definitely on the pricier end of high chairs.

Price: $330

The 4moms Connect is a very sturdy high chair, with a simple design and setup, and it was the easiest to clean -- mostly because it doesn't have a soft fabric cushion, so you can just wipe it down every time. Also, the tray magnetically attaches to the high chair for easy but secure snap-on and snap-off, and you can recline the entire seat. There's a removable crotch post for when your baby grows into toddlerhood, and you can lower the chair on height settings. Because it's so sturdy, you don't have to worry about the chair wobbling, rolling or tipping over if your baby likes to climb on furniture. The seat cushion is rubbery but not soft. 

The downsides are there's no footrest, which could be a big stumbling block for your child's comfort, and you also can't fold it up to make more room.

It comes only in a white and gray color combo.

Century Dine On 4-in-1 High Chair

Best high chair for basics

The seat cushion is made from recycled plastics, which sets the Century high chair apart from the pack. It's easy to put together out of the box, the tray comes with lots of little segments rather than just the standard wide space with a cup holder, and it reclines. My baby's feet didn't quite reach the footrest, so you'll have to wait until your baby grows into it; however, it has only two wheels. It's another convertible high chair: a baby high chair, toddler booster, child stool and big kid chair. The seat cushion is machine washable, and the tray insert is dishwasher safe, making it easy to use and clean.

The Dine On comes in gray, blue and lilac.

The Munchkin Cloud is one of the most stylish high chairs we tried, with a minimalistic style for those who are more about matching their baby's needs to their home decor. It's got clear plastic backing, a gray seat cushion, wooden legs and white plastic fittings -- though I imagine the clear plastic might become smeared or smudged with long use and continual wiping from messy babies. The capsule-style seat swivels 360 degrees.

My very-tall-for-his-age nine-month-old's feet didn't reach the footrest, so you'll have to wait until toddlerhood for that foot support. The chair's claim of one-minute assembly proved true. However, there seemed to be a lot of little crevices where food got stuck, more than usual for some reason. You also can't fold the chair down for storage.

It comes in one color option of white and light gray. 

Price: $200

Other products we've tested

  • Evolur Zoodle 3-in-1 High Chair: Compared with the other high chairs we tried, the $132 Evolur Zoodle requires almost a full construction job out of the box -- you have to put every single part together yourself. That said, it's a very sturdy and modern-looking, Scandinavian-style chair with stylish beechwood and non-skid legs, though it doesn't fold down. It converts into a toddler chair when your baby outgrows it, which is handy. It comes with four extra legs for the purpose, so you'll need to rebuild that part of it. The Evolur Zoodle has several finishes for your seat cushion in sweet colors that are machine washable, a dishwasher-safe tray and two nonadjustable footrests.
  • Fisher-Price Spacesaver Simple Clean High Chair: The $45 Fisher-Price Spacesaver is a cute high chair and great for apartments because you can strap it onto any adult chair you have. It isn't ideal for traveling, because it doesn't fold down any smaller. It could also benefit from having an extra strap at the top back to feel a little more secure, particularly if you have a boisterous baby who moves around a lot. Your baby's feet will also dangle without support, like most space-saving high chairs.
  • Cosco Simple Fold High Chair: This high chair is a great budget option for just $40, particularly if your family likes to go camping or even just to a picnic or soccer game. It sets up literally in seconds right out of the box, like a lawn chair. You can screw on feet for additional stability, however. The seat has a cute design, it comes with a small tray but deep cup holder and a footrest. It might be better suited for older toddlers -- my baby kept sliding downward while he was using the chair, leaving him slumped most of the time.
  • Evolur Ann Beechwood 4-in-1 Highchair: The $146 Evolur Ann required a lot of steps to build out of the box. The tray didn't slide far enough in for our baby, leaving a lot of mess, the straps kept getting tangled, and the seat isn't tall enough to support your child's head if she or he leans back. The footrest, tray and back aren't adjustable. On the pros side, it can convert from a high chair to a toddler chair, island stool and booster seat, with the conversion kit included in the pack. It's also stylish, with beechwood legs, matte white plastic and pretty seat cushion covers -- so it depends on your priorities in a seat.

How we test high chairs

After researching the most popular and highly rated high chairs online, I reached out to companies and asked for test products to review. I tested each for several days with my 9-month-old baby, including using the "yogurt test," the messiest meal possible, to see how easy they were to clean. 

When evaluating each high chair, I considered the following: 

  • Ease of use: How easy is setup out of the box? How easy is it to take the tray on and off? Is it easy to fold up and down? Is it easy to take apart, and fairly lightweight if it's intended for traveling?
  • Ease of cleaning: Are the surfaces easy to wipe? Are there crevices where mushy food gets stuck? If it has cushions, are they machine washable? Is the tray dishwasher safe? Will you ever be able to get those straps clean?
  • Comfort: Is it cushiony? Is it ergonomic? Is there a footrest that babies and toddlers alike can reach?
  • Safety: Is it sturdy? Are the straps adjustable?
  • Price: Is it a good value for money?
  • Features: Is it attractive? Does it come in a lot of color options? How long can it be used?

High chair FAQ

What are the different types of high chairs?

There are four main types of high chairs: convertible, compact, basic and high-end.  

What should I consider when buying a high chair?

Choosing a high chair depends on your lifestyle and budget: How many kids or babies do you have? How much space does your dining room or kitchen have -- do you need a space saver? You also need to consider how much you travel and, most importantly, how much you want to spend on the high chair.

Your baby will spend a lot of time in the high chair, probably at least three meals a day, and finding one that's comfortable for your baby, easy to clean and easy to use are the most important things.

Other considerations include whether you want to find something that matches your furniture or follows a particular color scheme.

      Highchairs for babies from 0 to 3 years of age are well known to all parents. They have height-adjustable legs, a removable table, and modern models have a soft booster tab with 5-point harnesses. The highest number of flattering reviews received 2 chairs: Chicco Polly Magic Relax and Joovy Foodoo.

      Chicco Polly Magic Relax

      The chair is comfortable for the baby. It weighs 10.5 kg, but thanks to the wheels it is easy to move. The backrest and footrest are adjustable almost to a horizontal position. But the eco-leather cushion absorbs everything that the baby spills from the seat, and the plastic legs sag. nine0003

      Joovy Foodoo

      From 13 600 ₽

      The 11.7 kg model stands on L-shaped legs with rubberized wheels. The frame is metal-plastic, reliable. The mattress is made of good leatherette, soft. The back is decomposed into 5 positions. But the footrest is just a crossbar, and the baby's legs fall through when he lies on the high chair.

      Chaise Lounge Chairs

      Chaise Lounge Chair is essentially a stroller for the home, it is so comfortable. Suitable for children from birth. Its soft bedding surrounds the baby from 3 sides, and the back unfolds to a semi-lying position. Plus wheels, and in the best models - manual motion sickness and a large basket for children's things. nine0003

      Peg-Perego Prima Pappa Follow Me eco-leather

      From 8 629 ₽

      This model costs and weighs a little, and serves as a place for feeding and safe rest of the crumbs. You just need to hold the chair with your hand so that it doesn’t roll away, because there is no stop on the wheels. Height settings will fit any table if you remove the removable one.

      SWEET BABY Luxor Classic

      From 8 990 ₽

      One of the most popular models today. In the highchair, you can rock the baby after feeding. Below is a large bag. True, it weighs 14 kg, but it stands on wheels (without stops). The table is combined with a leg separator, which is good and bad at the same time. nine0003

      Chairs-chaise lounges-swings

      Transforming swings serve as both a toy and a chair for feeding. For eating, the chair is fixed in a stable position, and then the table is removed - and you can rock the baby, slowly cradling it.

      Caretero Indigo

      From 12 950 ₽

      Quite expensive, but multifunctional assistant chair for a young mother. Suitable for children from birth. Swing up to 9 kg, high chair up to 14 kg. He cradles the baby himself and plays melodies, and is powered by mains or 4 LR14 batteries. There are no wheels and the chair is heavy. nine0003

      Pituso Triola

      From 13 250 ₽

      One of the most solid high chairs. As a swing, it is suitable for children from 6 months, and serves as a chair from birth. Comfortable, soft and stable, with 7 height settings, 5 backrest inclinations. Nibbling - music does not play over Wi-Fi or from a flash drive.

      From 6 months

      Some models of highchairs are designed not for babies, but for older children. Among the variety of versions, we will consider hinged, growing, classic chairs, as well as swings and transformers. In each category, we will choose the top 2 most convenient options. nine0003

      Classic

      The classic model is used only for feeding, but can be unfolded to a semi-lying state. A big plus of such a chair is its price and simplicity of design, and it does not take up much space and, as a rule, has wheels.

      Nuovita Futuro Senso

      From 8 390 ₽

      The chair weighs 9 kg, stands on wheels (rear swivel). The faux leather case is equipped with straps without overlays. The table is removable, double. The high chair is suitable for feeding the child at the table or when the parent is sitting on the floor. The length of the footrest is not adjustable. nine0003

      Chicco Polly 2-in-1 Easy (4 wheels)

      From 6 599 ₽

      The chair stands on metal legs, but weighs a little, 10 kg, and even the wheels make it easier to move. When folded it becomes flat. In general, there are no questions about the frame. They are for the mattress: why is it fabric in the highchair? Parents are also unhappy with the belt that squeezes the baby's tummy.

      Hanging chairs

      Hanging chairs are attached to the adult table next to the nursing parent. They are cheap, suitable for a small kitchen, but require a stable table and special attention, because the child can fall out of the high chair (minimum safety). Designed for children older than six months. nine0003

      Inglesina Fast

      From 3 810 ₽

      Compact cheap chair with fabric cover. Perfect for a trip to the country, because it weighs little, and the cover can be washed, the pole is a carrying bag. But there is no anti-slip protection (leg separator), the belt is also not credible.

      Brevi Dinette

      From 3 043 ₽

      A good inexpensive model with a leg separator and a front circular handle helps parents hold the baby while he is being fed 3-point harness, which is already good. The cover needs to be washed frequently, which is why Velcro quickly fails. nine0003

      Growing

      Growing highchairs perform a number of functions at once. At first it was just feeding chairs, and then a school chair with a comfortable back and footrest. Add to this environmental friendliness - growing furniture is made of solid wood - and you get a reliable and inexpensive piece of furniture.

      Pavlin from MF "Kuzya"

      From 3990 ₽

      DETAILS

      Growing chair from a domestic manufacturer, which is made of high quality MDF and plywood, with acrylic water-based paint - the most environmentally friendly paint at the moment. The main advantage is that it can be used both as a high chair, from 6 months (with the purchase of restraints and a table), and as a growing chair, up to 16 years. nine0003

      It supports the correct position of the child, relieving stress from the back and preventing the development of curvature of the spine, scoliosis and other diseases. The design perceives a load of up to 120 kg, so it has been used for 10 years.

      Kid-Fix universal

      From 6 950 ₽

      Russian highchair made of polished birch wood. It has 8 height positions, a curved double backrest and an incredible load capacity of as much as 120kg. The table and soft pillows need to be bought separately. The back does not tilt. nine0003

      Geuther Family

      It is beech, painted in natural colors, and there is also a multi-colored version. It weighs a lot, 10 kg, and without wheels. The armrests wrap around the back in a semicircle. The design is straight, vertical.

      Boosters

      Boosters are usually equipped with a 5-point harness, but not always. In pursuit of savings, manufacturers also put 2-point straps, otherwise they do without them at all. The booster is installed on an adult chair. In the top you will meet models with and without belts. nine0003

      CAM Idea

      From £52

      Very reliable booster chair. In it, the baby is well held by a belt, sitting on a soft mattress. The plastic table is removed. The optimal height to an adult countertop is selected in one of 7 positions. Nagging only to the material of the cover: eco-leather would be more appropriate.

      Lorelli PIXI

      From 2 180 ₽

      Plastic highchair with 4 legs can be used as a booster for feeding or as a regular highchair. The height of the legs and the tilt of the table are adjustable, but nothing else. By the way, a table with toys and seat belts - for a fee. nine0003

      Swing chairs

      In the ranking of the best swing chairs for babies from 6 months, we have selected 2 of the most attractive models. These are the stationary Nuovita Unico Leggero and the chair on wheels Geoby Y801. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and which ones, see below.

      Nuovita Unico Leggero

      From 13 790 ₽

      A good helper for young parents. He himself rocks the baby, counting the time on the timer, and the music is controlled by the remote control. Suitable for children from 6 months to 3 years, has all the necessary settings. There would be strength to move this weight. nine0003

      Geoby Y801

      For his money, he has a lot of advantages: wheels with brakes, a removable table with a set of dishes for the baby, a waterproof cover, a fully adjustable chair. Few? Then more swings. But this happiness is suitable only for children up to 10 kg.

      High chairs

      Folding high chairs are great for baby's afternoon nap. You just need to choose a model that is softer so that the baby can comfortably nap. When buying, pay attention to safety: what kind of belts, the height of the sides, and also on the footboard (on solid legs it will be more comfortable). nine0003

      SWEET BABY Royal Classic

      From 6 990 ₽

      This high chair has everything your baby needs. All it takes is a handy man to tweak the details a bit. The manual will not help: there are strange diagrams and an incomplete description of the actions, but YouTube is always at hand. The feet on the wheels and the belt clips are subject to revision: go ahead!

      Jetem Violino

      From 6 785 ₽

      The chair is light, so you can ignore the quality of the 2 available wheels. It is worth thoroughly, the chair has all the necessary adjustments. The model received the second place for the belt: thin, without soft pads, snaps into a large lock in the area of ​​​​the child's tummy. But it is safe: the baby will never fall out of this chair, rest assured. nine0003

      Finally, a little reminder of how long pediatricians recommend keeping babies in high chairs. For 5-6 month old babies, the time is limited to 10 minutes. And for older babies, 7-8 months old, the time can be doubled, because the spine will be stronger. The main thing is to choose a comfortable chair.
