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

$50

4.7 stars, 765 reviews

$50

“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

$70

4.7 stars, 3,755 reviews

$70

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

$52

$55 now 5% off

4.7 stars, 9,829 reviews

$52

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

$69

4.7 stars, 4,645 reviews

$69

“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.”

“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

“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!”

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.”

“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.”

12 Best Travel High Chairs (You'll Actually Travel With in 2023)

You are probably wondering to yourself, do I really need a portable travel high chair when I travel with a baby or toddler?

Let’s be honest, if you are traveling with a baby or toddler in the United States or Canada then you do not need to worry about portable travel high chairs. Almost every restaurant will have a high chair available for you to use.

As you begin to travel internationally with a baby, you will find that this is not always the case, even if a restaurant is family-friendly.

As parents traveling with a baby you already have enough to worry about, so bringing your own travel high chair for toddlers or babies is an excellent idea. Having your own baby travel high chair will enable you to give your baby their own seat while also being able to eat your own meal!

A luxury all moms should have!

A portable high chair seat for your baby can also come in handy if you plan to self-cater at your hotel or Airbnb apartment, if a high chair is not provided.

Depending on which of the travel high chairs for toddlers and babies you choose, you will also find it to be useful for camping and for visiting family or friends. If you are flying with a baby, all of the ones recommended below should easily pack in your suitcase.

In this list you’ll find only portable travel high chairs that are exactly that – portable. We only include travel high chairs that are practical and realistic to travel with.

While we know that toddler booster seats like this Fisher Price portable high chair are amazing (we know, we own two of them), we wouldn’t travel with one. What they are perfect for is using both at home and taking to grandma’s house.

The best travel high chairs are the ones that fold small and that you’ll be willing to carry along with you on your daily outings. Otherwise, what’s the point of bringing it?

Shop the best travel high chairs on Amazon

You’ll want to consider how much you’ll want to use it in the hotel and Airbnb as well. This might cause you to choose something a little more robust than a fabric high chair, though I can share from our own experience that it is completely doable.

Portable high chairs are an important part of your strategy to feed your baby while traveling. We cover everything after this list of the best portable travel high chairs for babies and toddlers, so read on as we walk you through finding the best high chair for travel.

What to Look for in a Portable High Chair

How are you going to decide which one is the best high chair for travel? The main things to consider when looking to purchase a portable travel high chair are how sturdy is it for keeping your baby safe, when and where do you plan to use the travel high chair, the size and cost.

How Sturdy Is the Chair for Keeping Your Baby Safe?

The portable high chairs for toddlers and babies that we recommend are only those with high ratings and without any major safety concerns. If there is anything to be aware of when it comes to the safety of a portable baby seat, we made sure to note it.

As an extra precaution, never leave your baby unattended in a portable travel chair, they just aren’t as secure as a regular high chair.

When and Where Will You Use the Portable High Chair?

If you are traveling internationally with a baby and want to bring your own folding portable high chair, how small should it be?

Will you bring it out with you when you are sightseeing or will you only use it at the apartment rental? If you plan to carry it with you, consider trading off some functionality for size.

We travel with as little as possible and often without a stroller, so to carry a travel high chair along with us meant it had to fit in our backpack diaper bag.

If you plan to use your portable high chair for camping with a baby, then you’ll want something more sturdy than a fabric travel high chair. You’ll want one that is stand alone and doesn’t need to be attached to another chair, like the hiccapop Omniboost Travel Seat or the ciao! baby portable highchair.

Shop the best travel high chairs on Amazon

Size of Portable Travel High Chair

If you are looking for a travel high chair for your baby that takes up the least amount of space, a fabric travel high chair is the best option. These portable cloth high chairs fold up to the size of a diaper.

If size isn’t an issue, then a travel booster seat, a portable baby chair with a tray or one that clamps to the table will have the most features. You’ll just need extra space to carry it around.

Cost of Portable Travel High Chair

Fabric travel high chairs are the most cost effective of all the high chairs. The other foldable high chairs for travel will not only take up more space but they’ll be more expensive too.

If you are on a budget, consider getting a chair that can be used at home as well as when you travel, rather than spending more money on a second travel high chair.

Which is the Best Travel High Chair for Your Family?

We say this so much that we will probably start to sound like a broken record, but not everyone travels the same. Not every family will have the same needs when it comes to traveling with a baby. As you compare the best portable high chair for travel options, you might find one will meet your needs better than others.

Based on our own experience, we recommend the My Little Seat travel high chair. Update: The MyLittleSeat is no longer for sale at the big retailers. If you want to purchase a fabric high chair from Amazon, we recommend the Original Easy Seat.

First Hand Experience From Real Parents…

Here are a couple of first hand experiences from real parents, like you, who’ve traveled with some of the best portable baby high chairs.

Using a Fabric High Chair for Baby

We are definitely minimalists when it comes to travel, so the fabric high chair that fit in our diaper bag or backpack was the perfect solution.

Get our FREE printable packing list for baby travel here!

We used it in our hotel room for breakfast before heading out for the day and also in our Airbnb apartments. We started using it when our daughter was 6 months old. It was easy to pack and washable, so it came everywhere with us.

What we didn’t love about it, was that our daughter was often too low for the table. This wasn’t a deal breaker, she could still reach her food.

We were still using it for our son, but came to a realization that it wasn’t the best portable high chair for travel to all destinations! It was not at all usable on traveling to Japan with a baby or toddler.

We realized shortly before leaving on our trip (by reviewing our apartment rental pictures) that we were not going to have any way of securing our 14 month old during meal times since our apartments were set up with a traditional Japanese style of eating with no chairs and only a small table.

You’d think we would have made that connection earlier, but what can we say?

We did our best to improvise several different ways by blocking him in a corner, having a plastic table cloth for him to eat on and feeding him small portions at a time. We luckily found a plastic basket in our Kyoto apartment which worked perfectly as a toddler travel high chair, though we don’t recommend traveling with one.

Desperate parents get creative!

Further to that, while trying to find baby food in Japan, we discovered many of the restaurants in Japan did not have chairs with a back or they were very small. We also traveled without a stroller, so we couldn’t even make use of a snack tray. To keep it in perspective though, our challenges in Japan were a one-time thing and we’ve had no other issues elsewhere.

Using a Clamp On High Chair for Baby

To get more first hand experience on portable high chairs for travel, we enlisted the help of We’re Out of Here. This family traveled the world with a toddler for almost a year and we knew they would know a thing or two about the best travel high chair for toddlers!

The chair they use is the Guzzie+Guss Perch portable high chair and they were kind enough to do a comparison of this clamp on baby travel chair to the phil&ted’s Lobster high chair.

The specs on the phil&ted’s are pretty similar except it’s a little lighter and slightly more expensive.

The big difference between these two is the number of tables they can be used on. Robyn & Shane of We’re Out of Here have owned both and told us that the Guzzie+Guss fits on 90% of the tables they encountered on their travels throughout Asia, where the phil&ted’s would only be usable on about 20%.

The Guzzie+Guss has a c-clamp instead of the lobster claw, allowing it to be used even on tables with a lip or ridge. Another benefit is the back sits higher and the chair isn’t as deep on the Guzzie+Guss allowing smaller babies to have something to lean back on and to elevate them relative to the table.

Click here to see the latest prices on the Guzzie+Guss Perch travel high chair and the phil&teds Lobster travel high chair.

The clamp-on style, though it packs flat, likely won’t fit in your diaper bag meaning you will need to carry another item out with you. If you are travelling with a stroller, it could easily be tossed in the lower compartment of your lightweight travel stroller, or you can do what Robyn does and use the travel bag straps to carry it on your back!

Shop the best travel high chairs on Amazon

The clamp on portable chair will allow your baby to be up closer to the table and more level with everyone. This would likely lead to less mess and I’m certain they would enjoy it more!

One additional benefit, your baby or toddler can’t push themselves away from the table!

Traveling Without a Portable High Chair

Do you really need a portable high chair for travel?

Eating out in Paris with a Baby

How do you eat at restaurants when there aren’t any high chairs if you are traveling without a travel high chair? Here are your options:

Find a restaurant providing high chairs. Not always possible.
Hold your baby or toddler on your lap during the meal. I don’t know about you, but I don’t enjoy trying to eat while holding a wiggly baby who’s getting food in my hair.
Use a stroller that has a snack tray. Not all restaurants will have the space to accommodate a stroller.
Use our baby travel hack and attach your baby or toddler to the seat with your baby carrier.

See all our recommended baby carriers for travel.

We’ve done all four of these and though they work in a pinch, they aren’t always feasible.

Besides eating in restaurants, if you want to do some meals in your hotel or apartment rental, you can keep the mess contained by bringing your own portable baby high chair.

Baby Travel Tip: Always ask your Airbnb apartment if they can provide one. Sometimes the highchair just isn’t included in the listing.

7 highchairs that will make life easier for parents

Nikolai Zaitsev

no longer fits

Author profile

Recently, our author told how she chose a children's chair for feeding.

In the comments, Tinkoff Magazine readers recommended models that they use themselves. Someone advised a specific brand, someone - a specific design of the chair. Collected all options in one material.

These are comments from Community readers. Collected into one material, carefully edited and formatted according to editorial standards.

Chair No. 1

Transformer

Alexandra
chose the option for all occasions the smallest, who eat reclining, up to a right angle - with a soft insert, belts and a table for eating. In short, a complete mess.

As a highchair, it was good for about a year and a half. Then the child learned to open the belts, get out from behind the table and quietly leave the kitchen - fortunately, at least the chair did not turn over. And as a “table plus chair” set, it turned out to be infinitely inconvenient. They no longer bought others, they managed with improvised means.

/stulchik/

How we made a children's chair with our own hands

The design of relatives is even more interesting: at first it is a cradle on wheels with all sorts of musical bells and whistles and animals on the suspension, then it is transformed into something like a deck chair, and then onto it a table is hung, and it turns into a high chair. They used it for up to three years, they are very satisfied.

Chair No. 2

Deckchair

Nina
rated durability

Used Chicco Polly, very satisfied. It seemed to us much more convenient than Ikeevsky. Adjustable in height, unfolds into lying, reclining and sitting positions. Removable tray on the table, washable two-piece seat for different ages.

Very functional highchair and indestructible. Now friends are using it, and it still looks and functions great!

Chair No. 3

Minimalistic

Tanya
tested the thing with time

We had a Peg Perego: normal chair, plastic, oilcloth bedding. If a child with bare legs, they put a diaper on. I raised two kids on it, it's a great chair.

Elina Demidova
tired of washing all the time

At first she used an expensive transformer that her friends gave her. Multifunctional and very heavy. But after each feeding, it was necessary to wash absolutely everything, wash all interfaces, fasteners, because food was everywhere. Ikeevsky took it with one hand, put it in the shower - everything is clean. I don’t know, maybe other children have been sitting and eating since half a year, like at a dinner party, or someone really likes to wash chairs ...

Lera
chose simplicity

First I bought a fancy Peg Perego, and then I got tired of washing it and washing the upholstery: from the very beginning, the child wanted to eat himself. We bought an Ikeevsky one, an additional step to it, and life was divided into before and after.

thezar
saved money and did not lose

The usual IKEA for 1000 R is a van love for kids. Easy to assemble and disassemble - you can take it on trips. Nice plastic and easy to clean. You can additionally buy a soft seat, which is also easily removed and washed, with kids you will have to do this often. Reliability - even without belts, it is not easy to get out of it. The price is not like that of an airplane.

at once. The most convenient was an ordinary plastic IKEA chair: it took up minimal space, fit in any kitchen, weightless, easily folded, if not needed, there are belts. It’s convenient in a cafe: they’re usually just like that there, but the child is used to it. We bought two for our eldest son - for our apartment and for trips to grandma. We have been using it for four years now, the chairs were inherited by our youngest daughter.

I liked the plastic without additional pillows: it is very easy to wash, it was also comfortable for children to sit.

Chair No. 4

Growing

The first was Ikea's "Antelope", but the orthopedist said to replace it with a chair that is correct for posture. The second was the growing "Konek Gorbunek". Where the back is in the lumbar region, a plank was installed with a bend so that the lumbar would hold correctly.

Both chairs are great for our six-square kitchen. I don't see the point in any transformers.

prefers compactness with adjustable backrest, when he sat down confidently - an ordinary IKEA one, later they bought a growing one.

Growing chair is a fire in terms of sink and space, even for a 5 m² kitchen.

Booster

happy with her find

My best baby junk purchase and best highchair is the Cam Smarty. They rarely write about him, but even experienced mothers spied on me and bought them with the next children.

Just some solid pluses. Comfortable, relatively inexpensive, high-quality, easy to wash and wash. You can change the height, move it to the table, move it away, remove it when the guests arrived, you can fold it and carry it in one hand, for example, to your grandmother. Indestructible, does not take up space at all - especially true for small city apartments.

How to protect children from falling out of windows

Minus one: you can’t leave a child unattended on it, it can push off with its feet from the main table and fall, but this is written in the instructions. In general, it’s better not to leave children alone :)

Chair No. 6
Hinged

appreciates mobility

Used hinged Phil & Teds. Compared to other designs, it does not take up space, it is convenient to take it on trips. I do not consider such a chair dangerous: if it is properly fixed, nothing will come off - the developers are not stupid. It has two real drawbacks: it cannot be attached to any table and it is difficult to clean it - the fabric part cannot be removed from the frame. But the latter may have already been eliminated in newer models.

I took a holder for a chair on Wildberry - there are many of them. We use it with a growing chair, it is very convenient, this mount has helped out many times.

could seat children everywhere

Both children managed with a special sling for a chair. It can be used at home and taken with you to a restaurant or guests. Easy to wash and store.

You can try it from the moment the baby learns to sit. Well, then it depends on the child. My daughter sat in it for quite a long time, and my son got out and got up.

High chair Share

What is a high chair? This is the first furniture of the baby, the first item on which he will have to sit upright, which means that not only comfort, but also a beautiful posture and good mood of the baby depends on how well it is chosen. If the baby is uncomfortable sitting in a high chair, then the purchase will be useless - it will become impossible to seat the little rebel there.

How do you choose the right chair? First of all, you need to start from the needs - for what it is needed. One of the first needs, when young parents come to the store for a high chair, is the need to feed the child and eat for him on his own. Every mother knows when a child picks up a spoon in her first year - wait for the pogrom, while holding the baby in her arms means getting dirty from head to toe. It is not surprising that parents rush for a chair in which they seat the baby.

There is now a great variety of high chairs on the market for baby products. Consider the main options:

1. Perhaps the most popular is a high chair that can be folded like a "book" - manufacturers provide a wide range of colors, a variety of shapes and "gadgets". On the one hand, it has a convenient design, such a high chair can fit in the most modest kitchen, can be folded and put away when not in use. On the other hand, after 3 years the chair can be thrown away - in the future it cannot be used in any way. And it’s hard for a mother to lift a two-year-old baby into a high chair, and the design does not imply the possibility of climbing onto it on her own. Plus - the chairs are made of plastic, it is easy to wash, you can remove the tabletop and clean it right under the tap, and then there is a minus - the tabletop is usually sharpened just for food, it is impossible to conveniently lay out a drawing notebook on it.

2. Also a popular model is a transformer chair, the obvious convenience of which is long-term use, and three and four and even five-year-olds will comfortably sit behind such a chair when it is in the “table + chair” state. That is, as soon as the baby grows out of the “high” chair, it can be lowered down and continue to be used for another couple of years. The disadvantage of this model is that it cannot be folded compactly, it will stand and take up space, both at lunchtime and at any other free time. Models made of wood, which are popular in this form, are impractical - it will not be so easy to wash stains from fruits or felt-tip pens from them.

3. And there is another class - such overlays on ordinary adult chairs that make the chair suitable for use by a child. Boosters and mounted models. The obvious convenience is the amount of space they take up – less than the previous two options. They are convenient to take with you in the car on trips. Of the minuses - as in a high chair - the inability to use for a child after 3 years of age.

To make a purchase justified, weigh the pros and cons of each highchair model, consider what is more important for your family - savings through long use or saving space in the room, mobility or practicality.
