roba Nature Up Highchair: What Parents Should Really Look for When Buying

A highchair accompanies many families every day: from first weaning meals, to shared family dinners, and later as a regular seat at the dining table. With the roba Nature Up highchair, it's not just about looks and materials. What really matters is a comfortable seating position, reliable safety features, easy cleaning, and a design that can adapt as your child grows.

Common Buying Pitfalls for a Baby Highchair

1. Sustainable Materials Aren't Always Clearly Explained

Labels like "natural wood" or "bamboo look" alone tell you very little about the actual construction. Buyers should check which parts are made from solid wood and whether the seat, backrest, or feeding tray are made from a different material. With the roba Nature Up, the side panels are made from solid bamboo, depending on the variant. Other components may be made from lacquered MDF board.

If you are specifically looking for an FSC-certified highchair, you should also check whether the certification is mentioned for the specific model. For the Nature Up model described as being made entirely from FSC-certified bamboo, no certificate number is listed in the product details. This information can be requested from the retailer or manufacturer if needed.

2. "Grows with Your Child" Doesn't Automatically Mean Comfortable for Every Height

A highchair that grows with your child should have adjustable or adaptable elements. This includes, in particular, the seat and footrest. If such adjustments are missing, the chair may be usable for a long time, but it won't offer proper support at every stage.

With the roba Nature Up, use is intended from around 6 months up to adulthood. The maximum permitted weight is 70 kg. This figure describes the maximum load and should not be taken as a guarantee for every body height or sitting posture.

3. A Removable Feeding Tray Doesn't Replace Safe Use

A highchair with a removable feeding tray can be used flexibly: first with its own table and later directly at the family dining table. However, the feeding tray must always be correctly attached when in use. Equally important is a suitable restraint system.

A highchair with a 3-point harness provides basic security in the seating area. The harness must be properly fastened and adjusted to your child before every use. Children must never be left unattended in the highchair.

Important Criteria When Comparing

Safety Standard and Harness

According to the product details, the Nature Up models comply with EN 14988:2017+A1:2020. This European standard covers, among other things, requirements for stability, construction, restraint systems, and the safety in use of highchairs.

In practice, parents should check the following before buying and before every use:

  • All screws, fastenings, and adjustment options must be tight.
  • The 3-point harness must not be twisted and should lie against the body without constricting.
  • Your child should be able to sit up independently before using the highchair.
  • For children under three years of age, or until they can sit up safely and independently, the harness must be used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • The chair must not exceed the stated maximum load of 70 kg.
  • Cracks, loose connections, or damaged parts are reasons to stop using the highchair.

Material, Surface, and Cleaning

A highchair made from bamboo can be a robust and visually warm alternative to fully plastic-based models. However, the exact material combination remains important. With the roba Nature Up, the side panels of the Bi-Colour variants are made from solid bamboo; the seat, backrest, feeding tray, and footrest are white or anthracite lacquered MDF elements.

For everyday use, easy-care highchairs with wipe-clean surfaces are practical. Food residue should be removed promptly with a damp cloth. Abrasive cleaners, prolonged soaking, and fully submerging in water can damage surfaces and connections.

Dimensions and Everyday Suitability

The stated dimensions of the Nature Up Bi-Colour models are approximately 50 × 45 × 86 cm, with a product weight of around 7.5 kg. The variant described as being made entirely from bamboo weighs around 7.2 kg. A carry handle makes it easier to move around the home.

Before buying, you should check whether the highchair:

  • has enough clearance from the table, wall, and other furniture,
  • stands securely on the intended floor,
  • is suitable for the height of your family dining table,
  • can be placed in the daily eating area without any awkward edges,
  • is checked regularly for loose connections after assembly.

Assembly and Care of the roba Baby Highchair

The roba Nature Up is supplied for self-assembly. Assembly should be carried out exactly according to the instructions. Before first use, we recommend checking all screws, connections, the feeding tray, and the harness. This check should also be repeated after moving the chair and at regular intervals.

For cleaning, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Aggressive or abrasive cleaning products can damage the lacquered surfaces. Liquids should not be left standing on the highchair for long periods.
