A growing wooden highchair can support families for several years. However, not every model with adjustable elements is actually suitable for every stage of development. Focusing solely on colour, maximum weight capacity or a low price can often mean overlooking important details.
A height-adjustable highchair may only offer several seating positions. For longer use, the seat and footrest should be adjustable or removable. It is also important to check the age and weight limits specified by the manufacturer.
A highchair suitable for up to 70 kg is not automatically suitable from infancy. To use a baby highchair from 6 months, the child must be able to sit independently, unless the manufacturer specifies different use with suitable accessories.
The maximum weight capacity describes the product’s load-bearing ability, not the safety of a small child. For toddlers, a suitable highchair with safety harness, a stable construction and correct adjustment are important. Depending on the model, features may include three- or five-point harnesses, crotch straps, safety bars or a removable tray.
With some adjustable children’s highchairs, seat inserts, trays or cushions are available separately. This can increase the actual total price. Before buying, check whether the accessories you need are included and whether they are intended for the relevant age group.
For products with the relevant manufacturer’s information, EN 14988 is an important reference point for children’s highchairs. The specific version of the standard should be stated in the product description or instructions. According to the product information, the roba Folding High Chair is manufactured in accordance with EN 14988-1:2006+A1:2012. According to the manufacturer’s information, the roba Nature Up models are listed as complying with EN 14988:2017+A1:2020.
Regardless of the standard:
An adjustable footrest stabilises the seating position because your child’s feet are not left dangling in the air. When buying, make sure the footrest is large enough and can be adjusted to suit your child’s height. A highchair with footrest is particularly practical when your child sits at the family table for longer periods.
With step-style highchairs such as the roba Sit Up Flex, the seat and footboard can be adjusted in height or removed, depending on the model. This means the chair can later be used as a child’s or teenager’s chair. Always adjust it correctly in accordance with the instructions.
Wood, bamboo and MDF differ in terms of their surface finish and care requirements. FSC-certified wood or bamboo may appeal to buyers who value documented sourcing. However, certification is no substitute for checking the construction, surface treatment and accessories.
For everyday use, wipe-clean surfaces are important. Trays with numerous recesses can be practical, but they require more cleaning. Folding models save space, but must be fully opened and securely locked before every use.
Why this product suits this profile: This folding wooden highchair is a good choice for families with limited floor space who are looking for a model suitable from 6 months and equipped with a tray.
The product information states that it has a three-point harness, a folding construction and a recommended load of up to 70 kg. The tray can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Weighing under 6 kg, it folds away and, according to the product information, is supplied without requiring screw assembly.
Why this product suits this profile: FSC-certified bamboo, a removable tray and use from the sixth month through to adulthood will appeal to buyers who value documented material information and long-term usability.
The product description specifies the EN 14988:2017+A1:2020 standard, a three-point harness and a removable tray. This allows the chair to be used with its own tray or at the family table.
100% FSC-certified bamboo according to the product information, wipe-clean surfaces and a recommended load of up to 70 kg.
Why this product suits this profile: Families who use a wooden highchair frequently and want plenty of adjustment options get a model with 13 settings for the seat and footrest, plus an additional activity tray.
The seat and footrest can be adjusted in multiple positions. According to the product information, a five-point harness, chest strap and safety bar are included.
FSC-certified beech wood according to the product description, a load capacity of up to 130 kg and an activity tray included in the set.
Further options include the roba Sit Up Flex with adjustable seat and footboards, as well as the Hauck Alpha Plus made from FSC-certified beech wood. The Alpha Plus has a stated maximum load of 90 kg; the tray and seat cushion are available separately.
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.
The age recommendation alone is not enough. Your child should be able to sit independently without support. The harness, seat, footrest and, where applicable, seat insert must also be adjusted correctly. The manufacturer’s instructions and age recommendation for the specific product are decisive.
This depends on its construction and weight limit. Models with a height-adjustable seat and footboard can be used from the toddler years through to a later child’s or teenager’s chair stage. Even for products rated for up to 70 kg or more, you must observe the relevant age and usage recommendations.
In addition to the purchase price, you may need to pay for a seat insert, tray, cushion or replacement harnesses. Ongoing care usually involves nothing more than a damp cloth and mild cleaning products. Damaged harnesses, loose components or cracks should not be repaired temporarily; replace them in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
