A growing high chair should offer more than a temporary seat for those first spoonfuls of purée. It should adapt to your child’s height, stand securely at the family table and be easy to clean day to day. Many models look similar at first glance, but differ considerably in terms of adjustability, weight capacity and accessories.
Although an adjustable high chair may offer several seating positions, it is not automatically suitable up to school age. So check the maximum weight capacity, recommended age ranges and possible ways of using it. A model with a 15 kg weight limit is designed for the toddler stage. A wooden high chair with a capacity of 70 or 90 kg, on the other hand, may later be used as a child’s chair or an additional seat at the table.
For some products, the tray, seat insert or cushions are only available as optional extras. This can increase the actual total price. Check the information under “Scope of delivery”: does the high chair come with a safety harness, tray and footrest, or do important parts need to be purchased separately?
A foldable high chair is practical for small flats, visits to grandparents or transport in the car. However, the folding mechanism should be checked regularly. A securely locking frame, a stable base and sufficient foot space are important. Even when using a foldable model, your child must never be left sitting unattended.
A high chair from 6 months is generally intended for children who can sit independently. The stated age does not replace an individual assessment of whether your child can sit safely. For babies and toddlers, a correctly adjusted restraint system and a stable surface are essential.
Depending on the design, a 3-point or 5-point harness, crotch strap, safety bar or a combination of these features may be used. A 5-point harness keeps the upper body and pelvis in position. The harness must be adjusted correctly and must not be twisted. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and weight limits.
The EN 14988 standard is stated for selected products. It covers safety-related requirements for children’s high chairs. Nevertheless, check the screws, locks, harnesses and any possible damage before every use.
An ergonomic high chair should do more than simply adjust the seat height. It is also important whether the footrest can be adjusted. Ideally, your child’s feet should rest on a stable surface so that they are not left dangling for long periods.
Models such as the hauck Arketa offer, according to the product information, 13 adjustment options for the seat and footrest. The roba Sit Up Flex features height-adjustable and removable seat and foot boards. The Hauck Alpha Plus also allows the seat and footrest to be adjusted. These designs are particularly suitable for families who want to use their high chair for longer.
A wooden high chair usually feels durable and often fits permanently into the dining area. FSC-certified wood or FSC-certified bamboo may be important to buyers who pay attention to the origin of materials. The certification should be explicitly stated in the product information.
Smooth, wipe-clean surfaces are useful for everyday life. A removable tray makes cleaning after meals easier. For textile covers, it is worth checking the washing instructions. A model with a machine-washable cover may be more practical for frequent use than a permanently fitted padded cover.

Many models are intended for use from around 6 months. However, the key factor is that your child can sit independently and steadily. Only use the high chair in accordance with the manufacturer’s age, height and weight recommendations, and always under the direct supervision of an adult.
This depends on the design and weight limit. Compact baby high chairs are often designed for up to around 15 kg or three years of age. Convertible wooden models may support 70, 90 or more kilograms, depending on the product. Before switching to the child or adult configuration, the harness, seat board and footrest must be adjusted correctly.
A separate tray gives your child a defined surface and can often be cleaned separately. Using the chair at the dining table, on the other hand, encourages direct involvement in the meal and can be suitable for many years with growing models. A high chair with a removable tray is the most practical option, as it allows both arrangements.
