A high chair is part of everyday family life – for mealtimes, crafts and play. But eye-catching designs and claims of long-lasting use don’t automatically make a model the right choice. What matters is whether your child is ready to sit, the safety features, how easy it is to clean and how much space you have at home.
A high chair that grows with your child can be used through several stages of development. But the seat, footrest and safety harness need to adjust to suit each stage. An age recommendation alone doesn’t tell you much. You should also check the maximum weight limit for each mode of use. Some models are designed to be used as a high chair up to 15 kg, but can support more weight later as a junior chair.
A folding mechanism is useful if you regularly put the high chair away or take it to the grandparents’ house. Before buying, compare its dimensions when folded and unfolded. A secure locking mechanism and a stable base are also important. A smaller folded size is no substitute for a sturdy design.
A high chair cushion or seat insert can provide extra comfort and support. But the chair still needs to be secured properly. The harness must be threaded through the designated openings and must not sit underneath any padding. You should also check that any accessories are specifically compatible with your model.
A high chair for babies from 6 months is generally intended for children who can already sit unaided. Their age in months isn’t the only thing to consider. Follow the instructions and only use the chair once your child can sit without support.
A high chair with a 5-point harness holds your child securely across the shoulders, hips and crotch. The harness must be adjusted correctly without restricting your child. Never leave a child unattended in a high chair.
A height-adjustable high chair is easier to adapt to your table and your child’s height. For wooden high chairs that grow with your child, several seat and footrest positions are particularly useful. A footrest your child can reach can help them sit more steadily day to day. Check whether you can adjust the chair without tools and that all connections lock securely into place.
A wooden high chair can be durable and understated in appearance. However, clean wooden surfaces with a barely damp cloth and dry them afterwards. Removable or wipe-clean trays are handy when dealing with food spills. Fabric covers should come with clear care instructions, such as machine washing at 30 or 40 °C.

If you already have a high chair, first check the brand, model and year of manufacture in the product documentation. A high chair seat insert needs to have suitably positioned harness openings and must not create an awkward gap between your child and the tray. For the Stokke Tripp Trapp, for example, dedicated LaLoona seat cushions and seat inserts are available. There are also model-specific options for the Hauck Alpha+, Beta+ and Arketa.
A baby high chair with a reclining function isn’t automatically suitable for every use, either. Attachments such as the hauck Newborn Highchair Bouncer must only be used within the specified weight limits and with the adapters provided. Once your child can sit unaided or reaches the maximum weight limit, adjust how you use it in line with the instructions.
Many models are designed for use from around 6 months. The key thing is that your child can sit unaided and without support. Follow the age, weight and usage guidance provided by the manufacturer.
It depends on the design and weight limit. Some models convert from a baby high chair to a junior chair, while others can later be used as a regular chair. Check the permitted weight limit for each configuration and use the harness for as long as the instructions recommend.
Remove food residues as soon as possible after mealtimes. Plastic and wooden surfaces can usually be cleaned with a damp cloth. Wash covers only as directed on the care label. Regularly check the harness, screws, tray, cushion fastenings and feet for wear or damage.
