Whether or not you purchase a high chair is a family choice but many parents rely on the stability, safety features (like a harness and crotch post) and easy after-dinner clean-up that a high chair provides.
When searching for the best baby high chair, some of the key factors to consider are:
The Graco Table2Table LX 6-in-1 High Chair keeps up with kids that seem to grow like weeds! Featuring six growing stages, it transitions from infant high chair to booster seat all the way up to big kid table and chair, giving you great value. Plus, it’s safe, comfortable and easy to wash—three must-haves on every parent’s list.
We know, we know: You can’t judge a high chair by its cover. Except that the Evolur Zoodle has a wipeable, removable cushioned seat cover that comes in a range of shades—from mint green, baby pink or soft grey to ivory or yellow. It’s just so darn cute! What’s more, the modern-looking chair features genuine beech-wood legs that you can attach to bring it up to the kitchen table or low to the ground.
Mealtime with a baby or toddler is always messy but the Boon GRUB High Chair makes clean-up less of a chore. The removable seat and tray are safe to put in the dishwasher, while the machine-washable seat pad is easy to wipe down with a damp cloth—or you can simply toss it in the wash. Plus, the smooth design of the high chair, with minimal corners and crevices, is easy to wipe clean and ensures few crumbs get left behind.
With months worth of baby stuff piling up, the last thing you want is another clunky piece of gear to store—especially if you’re in a tight space. Enter the Fisher-Price SpaceSaver Simple Clean, which includes all the features of a full-sized chair minus, well, the full size. The easy-to-move seat securely clips onto any chair with an adjustable strap and it adapts with your baby from infant to toddler with its three recline positions and four belly positions. It also comes in a rainbow pattern.
Coming in at under $100, the Evenflo 4-In-1 High Chair doesn’t skimp on features even though it’s super affordable. It still has padding for baby’s comfort and is able to convert from a high chair to a low chair to a toddler chair—and the base can even be used as a little table for eating or crafts.
This intelligently designed, cushioned booster doubles as a floor play-seat while your young infant is gaining the strength to sit up on their own. Once your baby hits this milestone, slide the food tray out of its bottom compartment, clip the seat to your kitchen chair and your baby is ready to eat meals with the fam.
