A high chair is part of many families’ daily routines at breakfast, lunch and dinner. At the same time, unclear age recommendations, covers that are difficult to clean or a lack of adjustment options can quickly lead to disappointing purchases. Not every model suits every household: a compact folding chair is practical for small kitchens, while an adjustable high chair that grows with your child may be designed for longer-term use.
A specification such as “up to 90 kg” or more initially describes only the product’s maximum load. It is also important to check which age group and seating position the chair is approved for. A high chair may support older children or adults, while its high-chair configuration is still intended only for children from around 6 months.
A high chair with a removable tray can be used flexibly at the family table. However, the tray should not be treated as a safety bar or hand grip. For babies and toddlers, a suitable harness, sturdy construction and a correctly adjusted seating position are essential.
Painted wood, plastic and faux leather can usually be cleaned with a damp cloth. Fabric covers, on the other hand, should be removable and washable. Also check for grooves, difficult-to-reach screw joints and the joins between the seat and tray. Food residue often collects in these areas during meals.
A high chair from 6 months is generally intended for children who can already sit independently. The minimum age alone is therefore not enough to make a decision. Check the manufacturer’s information on posture, the harness and the relevant configuration.
Important features include:
A 5-point harness keeps the upper body and pelvis securely in position at several points. A 3-point harness may also be provided, but it must be used correctly and checked regularly for signs of wear.
For high chairs, the European standard EN 14988 is a relevant benchmark for high-chair safety requirements. The roba Nature Up, for example, is specified as complying with EN 14988:2017+A1:2020. According to its product description, the roba Folding High Chair complies with EN 14988-1:2006+A1:2012. However, the stated standard should never be a reason to ignore the instructions for use.
Before every use, check the following:
Never leave a child unattended in a high chair, and do not allow them to stand on the tray, seat or footrest.
A wooden high chair often looks durable and fits naturally alongside the dining table. Wooden surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth and dried afterwards. According to the manufacturer’s information, an FSC-certified model such as the hauck Alpha Plus uses European beech wood from FSC-certified forests. This may appeal to buyers who pay attention to the origin of the materials. However, sustainability claims should always be based on the specific certification and product information.
Plastic models are often easier to wipe clean. With a folding high chair, you should also consider its folded dimensions, weight and stability when unfolded. For small homes or visits to grandparents, vertical or flat storage can be particularly practical.
Why this product suits this profile: Seven seat-height settings and four wheels make it easier to adapt the chair to different table heights and move it around the home.
The product details specify a 5-point harness, three backrest positions and three footrest positions, together with a clear 15 kg weight limit.
Seven-position height adjustment, washable tray and a seat cover that can be washed at 30 °C.
Why this product suits this profile: The adjustable seat and footplate are designed for long-term use and can be used alongside the family dining table.
The product description specifies a supplied 5-point harness and a maximum load of 90 kg. The separately available tray must be purchased in addition.

Why this product suits this profile: For homes with limited storage space or regular visits to family, the chair offers a space-saving folding function.
The folding mechanism, 5-point harness and stated 15 kg weight limit are clearly described. The locks must be checked before every use.
One-handed folding function, height-adjustable seat, removable tray and a washable cover at 40 °C according to the product details.
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, the key requirement is that the child can sit independently and without support. The specific manufacturer’s recommendation, harness and seating position must be suitable for one another.
This depends on the model. According to the product details, some wooden chairs can support up to 70 or 90 kg and can later be used as a seat at the table. Other models are designed as conventional high chairs only up to 15 kg or approximately 3 years. Always check the age and weight limits for each type of use.
The price depends, among other things, on the material, adjustability, harness, tray, folding function and accessories. Do not compare the purchase price alone. Also check whether the tray, seat reducer or padding must be purchased separately. This gives you a more realistic view of the overall value for money.
