A quality baby highchair is one of the most used pieces of baby gear you'll own from the very first tastes of solid food at around six months, right through to the toddler years.

What to Look for in a Baby Highchair

Safety first — always choose a baby highchair with a secure, easy-to-use harness system, a five-point harness is the gold standard for keeping little ones safely in their seat during mealtimes. Ensure the highchair has a stable, wide base that won't tip when your baby leans or wriggles

Ergonomic support — a quality highchair supports your baby's posture with a well-designed seat, adjustable footrest and appropriate recline options for younger babies. Proper positioning is particularly important in the early weaning stage when babies are still developing core strength

Easy to clean — mealtimes with babies and toddlers are gloriously messy. Look for a highchair with a removable, dishwasher-safe tray, wipe-clean seat pad, and minimal crevices where food can hide. A highchair that is easy to clean is a highchair you'll actually enjoy using every day

Grows with your baby — the best baby highchairs grow with your child from the early weaning stage through to toddlerhood and beyond. Look for adjustable seat height, recline positions, and a design that transitions from a full highchair to a toddler chair  maximising long-term value

Space and footprint — consider the size of your kitchen or dining space before choosing a highchair. Full-size highchairs offer the most features and comfort, while compact highchairs and foldable highchairs are ideal for smaller homes or families who need to move the chair between rooms. Portable highchairs and booster seats are perfect for travel and dining out

Aesthetic — you'll look at this chair multiple times a day for years. Choose a highchair that fits your home — whether that's a sleek Scandinavian-inspired design, a beautiful wooden highchair, or a modern moulded design in a neutral palette
