8 Features to Look out for when Buying a Highchair

At first glance it seems as though buying a highchair is fairly easy.  After all, it’s just a chair, that’s high, right? In fact there is quite a bit more to buying a highchair than just that, with a whole range of features available which may well make life a good deal easier for you and a whole lot more comfortable for your little one!

So here are 8 features to look out for when buying a high chair.

Adjustable seat height
Really help to make sure our baby is the right height for whichever table you’re sitting at and how tall they are this week!

Removable Seat cover
Really helps with washing your baby’s seat and keeping it clean for them.

Double layered tray
Simply lift out the top tray after they have eaten their dinner and they have a brand new clean tray all ready and waiting for dessert time! This also means that you don't have to be constantly washing up during courses.

Divided tray
Helps keep the different foods and drink separate – at least for a little while!

Size when folded
Some chairs fold into very compact dimensions which makes a big difference when taking it in a car or putting it away down the side of the fridge

Extra padding
Your baby will be sitting in their chair for quite a lot of the time so you want to make sure that they are as comfortable as possible. If they are comfortable they will be less likely to fidget and become distressed after a little while, helping to make meal times that little easier .

Ergonomic design
Some highchairs have been specifically designed with ergonomics in mind, providing extra support for your baby’s back and making them feel more comfortable for longer.

Converting highchair
Some highchairs have been designed to convert into a separate table and chair for us by your child when they have grown out of their highchair.
