Baby High Chair Ideas

By Darren Hartley


A baby high chair must be sturdy and easy to clean. It needs to be durable enough to withstand years of daily use and abuse. A baby uses a high chair from the time he is ready for solid food until the age of 2 or 3.

While a basic safe baby high chair can do the job, the more expensive variety may pay off over time. High-end models do a better job of growing with the baby, effectively holding up to wear and tear. It is advisable to pay attention to size and to the space constraints of a home in the selection.

The full featured baby high chair have all the features of the basic model plus extras including well-padded seats, wheels to roll the high chair from one location to another, detachable trays that easily go on and off, dishwasher safe tray covers and adjustable heights and seat reclines. Some models even convert into a booster seat or kid sized chair for use when the baby is older.

A baby high chair comes in models that convert into a booster seat or a kid-sized chair. This versatility enables it to be used when the baby is older, up to the ripe age of 5. A high chair must be sturdy and stable. A wide-based high chair is harder to tip over.

A baby high chair offering height adjustment makes it handier. One with an adjustable tray makes sure that the belly of the baby is not constrained at all as the baby grows. It is advisable to make sure that each adjustment looks securely into place.

A buckle in a baby high chair that is too shallow or simple to operate can easily be undone, even by the pressure of a baby's tummy. Harness straps must be adjustable to accommodate a growing baby. The high chair must carry the seal of approval from the JPMA a.k.a. Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association.
