High chairs

A high chair is suitable from the moment the baby can sit up firmly – usually around 6 months, when complementary foods are also introduced. The baby must maintain an upright position without support. Models with an adjustable backrest allow for a supine position even earlier, but for complementary foods, an upright sitting position is always necessary. Never leave a baby in a high chair unattended.

A growing high chair is usually more cost-effective than a classic one. It can last from 6 months to 8-10 years – transforming from a baby high chair to a high chair for the dining table and finally into a full-fledged school chair. The key is to check the maximum load capacity and the range of adjustment of the seat and footrest height.

The easiest to clean are models with smooth plastic or laminated surfaces without unnecessary creases. The textile seat should be removable and machine washable. You will appreciate the adjustable tray at every meal - the fewer parts, the faster cleaning. Wooden dining chairs can be cleaned with a damp cloth, the varnished surface is also resistant to grease.

For babies and toddlers, the safest is a 5-point seat belt – across both shoulders, around the waist and between the legs. It prevents slipping and climbing out. A 3-point belt (just the waist and crotch) is acceptable for older children who cannot swing out of the chair. Always check that the belt can be easily fastened with one hand and that the child cannot unfasten it on his own.
