Parents buy a high chair during the period of introducing the first complementary foods, but if for some children they last only a few months, others do not part with their cozy nest until they are 2-3 years old: they eat, play, watch cartoons, draw... Therefore, it is especially important to purchase such a high chair, which will be comfortable, durable and worth the money spent. Our rating of the best high chairs includes popular models (from the simplest to the most multifunctional) that have earned the best reviews from moms and dads.
High
The most popular option is a high chair for feeding. Contains wood or plastic. The height of the structure is often adjustable; children grow quickly and this feature is very useful. The item has a soft seat or a removable cover that can be easily removed, cleaned and washed.
Thanks to the adjustable height, you can quickly achieve a comfortable position at the table. This contributes to the correct formation of posture, because the baby will not have to bend over or reach up while eating.The feeding table and chair, as the name suggests, includes a table top. If its presence is an important criterion, then they also have different builds.
Why is such furniture needed?
First, let's look at alternative feeding options. Children in a chair, surrounded by pillows or sitting on their mother's lap are not the most comfortable ways.
In addition, orthopedists are categorically against pillows, since this approach can contribute to the formation of scoliosis. It is generally unrealistic to feed a baby on your lap, because at this age the little one is a real fidget.

Material
Preference should be given to environmentally friendly materials with zero allergenicity. It is important to study the composition of the coating, information about which is in the instructions.

The child learns to eat and drink at the table; food often ends up in all corners of the object. The material should be easy to wash and clean, and not deform with regular care.
Natural wood composition is the most environmentally friendly. Oak is mainly used, resulting in strong, yet light and comfortable furniture.

The developers offer the feeding table in the form of integral or separate devices. But all models have integral parts: a seat with a back and a table.
The seating area can be attached to a common frame or have a separate frame. The table most often comes in the form of a tray that can be removed and/or a separate item.
The frame in folding models is made in the shape of the letter L, with the front P upside down.

- Back width. Models with an adjustable backrest will bring comfort to the life of a child up to three years old.
- Backrest tilt. Thanks to the tilt of the back, you can choose a comfortable position according to the age of the child. Up to 6 months the baby can lie down and sleep. For about six months, eat the first complementary foods, in a half-sitting position. And having learned to sit, fully use the chair while eating.
