Highchairs can be incredibly handy at family mealtimes, as it means that the rest of the family can eat dinner as normal, and the baby can watch and learn how to participate in this when he or she grows up.
A highchair for babies can give the baby some independence as they learns to eat the food put in front of them independently. However, there are lots of important things to consider when buying a high chair.
Safety is the most important thing when it comes to buying products for our babies, so it's key that highchairs for babies conform to British safety standards. A crotch post and adjustable safety straps are great as they mean your baby won’t fall out of the high chair.
There are also many different types of high chair to choose from. Some take up a lot of space which may not be an option for families with limited space, and ease of cleaning might be the parents’ priority! There are also multi-functional high chairs which double up as other types of seat to be used as your child grows.
