A folding high chair can be a practical solution for small flats, visits to grandparents or travelling. However, models vary considerably in terms of the suitable seating age, harness, folding mechanism, cleaning and weight capacity. A low price alone says little about whether a high chair will suit your family’s everyday needs.
Some high chairs can be folded but still take up a lot of floor space when folded. So, don’t just check whether a foldable high chair is available. Also look at:
A model that can stand upright is generally easier to store at home. For small kitchens or flats, it is also important to know whether the high chair can be folded with just a few simple movements.
A high chair with tray is useful when your child is to eat or play independently of the dining table. However, the adjustment options are crucial. Check the distance between the seat, backrest, footrest and tray. If the distance is too great, your child may slide forwards or be unable to sit securely.
With an adjustable high chair, you should check the manufacturer’s information on seat height, tray position and footrest. A removable tray makes it easier to move your child to the family table later on. The age recommendation remains decisive, however: a high chair must not be used until your child can sit independently and the instructions permit its use.
A high chair with a 5-point harness distributes the restraint across the shoulders, hips and crotch. This can be a suitable feature for active children. A 3-point harness is not automatically unsuitable, but it does require particular care with seating position and use.
Check the following before every use:
Children should never be left unattended in a high chair. Even a harness cannot prevent every attempt to climb, sliding or tipping over. The relevant manufacturer’s safety instructions take priority.
A baby high chair from 6 months is generally intended for children who can sit without support. For the Hauck Sit N Fold models considered here, the stated age range is 6 to 36 months, with a maximum weight capacity of 15 kg. This limit must not be exceeded.
A growing high chair can be used for longer if the seat and footrest can be adjusted in several ways. For wooden models such as the CYBEX Click & Fold, the product information states that use as a regular chair begins at 3 years. Depending on the version, separate accessories are required for younger children. Accessories are therefore not automatically included in the package.
Plastic parts can often be cleaned with a damp cloth. For a seat cover, check whether it can be removed and machine-washed. For the Hauck Sit N Fold, the cover is stated to be washable at 40 °C. This can be particularly relevant in everyday use when dealing with purée, drinks and food residue.
A wooden high chair looks durable and often fits in with a range of interior styles. However, water and other liquids should be removed promptly to avoid placing unnecessary strain on the material. Use mild cleaning products and avoid abrasive products unless the care instructions state otherwise.
For children’s high chairs, the European standard EN 14988 is an important reference point for construction and safety-related requirements. A stated standard does not replace checking the individual product. Before buying, read:

We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
Many models are intended for use from around 6 months. However, age alone is not the deciding factor. Your child must be able to sit independently and the manufacturer’s instructions must permit use. Special inserts are required for younger babies if the relevant system has been approved for this purpose.
This depends on the design and weight limit. Traditional models for babies and toddlers are often designed for use up to around 15 kg or 36 months. A growing wooden high chair may be suitable for longer with the right accessories. Always check the specific product approval.
Yes, provided the folded dimensions, weight and storage position suit your home. Models that fold down compactly and can be stored upright are particularly practical. Before buying, measure the intended storage space.
