Hanging feeding chair

Your baby starts to grow vigorously, and the question arises about buying comfortable furniture for him? Now this problem can be solved, because we can tell you which highchair to choose and note all the nuances of the design in our article.

Features:

The main advantage of using this design is the undeniable convenience for both the young mother and the baby. The toddler will quickly learn to eat independently, and thanks to the fixation systems on the chair, the mother will free her hands to perform other household chores. Now she will be able to leave the child for a short time.

Models

Among the varieties of hanging chairs for feeding are the booster chair and the hanging chair. The difference between these models from each other lies in the fact that the booster chair is attached to the adult chair, and the hanging chair to the table. Of the positive features, it is worth noting the compactness of the models and ease of transportation. So when leaving the city, this option is simply necessary for a little toddler.

The negative aspects of the hinged structure include the weight limit (up to 15 kilograms) and exactingness to the material and weight of the table to which the chair will be attached.

Also, this design is considered one of the most unsafe: hyperactive kids can swing the “table + chair” structure and eventually fall. Therefore, you should not leave such a child strapped to a highchair for a long time alone.

The representative of this design is the Chicco branded Hook on Chair 360.

Distinctive positive features of this highchair construct are the following positions:

Suitable for almost all worktop surfaces except glass.
The presence of a mechanism that allows you to rotate around its own axis.
Compactness and lightness of construction.
Easy to operate.

The seat is equipped with a special recess for a good fixation of the child.
The presence of three-point seat belts.
Soft footrest.

The negative qualities include the following points:

Weight restriction.
A certain table thickness is required to fix the chair.
High price point.

Materials

Feeding chairs are available in three frame designs:

Wood.
Plastic.
Chipboard.

Undoubtedly, the wooden version is distinguished by its environmental safety, however, plastic products are more practical. When choosing products from chipboard, special attention should be paid to the availability of a product quality certificate. Indeed, in such a chair, chips and scratches are possible, and this is the possibility of evaporation of harmful and toxic substances that are in the glue used in the manufacture of goods.

An observant and practical parent will opt for plastic products. The tree, although it has a huge plus, is quite heavy, and not every parent can handle it. And dragging such a chair from place to place is not easy. The plastic version, for the most part, has a light structure, folds and is transported without any problems.

As for the upholstery of children's furniture, the material should be water-repellent and smooth. A removable cover is the most optimal option in this case.

Tips for choosing

Before parents decide to buy a certain model of a highchair, the following nuances must be considered:

Construction safety. The structure must meet all safety requirements during operation. When buying a highchair, check the reliability of the clips with which it will be attached, the absence of sharp corners and protrusions. Indeed, during operation, a restless baby can easily get injured by them, so such elements should be hidden under the plugs.

The presence of a reliable footrest. She is responsible for the correct formation of posture and the absence of fatigue of the little one during a long stay in a sitting position. In addition, such a device guarantees your child that he does not slip off the chair, because he will rest his feet on it.
The presence of safety straps. Currently, manufacturers provide almost all models of hanging and hanging chairs with such straps. They can be either three-point or five-point. The best option would be to choose those safety straps that have soft inserts and a comfortable buckle. In addition, some models with such straps are adjustable in length and height, which is very convenient.

The quality of the material. This is another of the most important criteria for evaluating a product. During visual inspection, there should be no scratches, flaws or abrasions. All mechanisms should be easy to set up and adjust without much effort. Do not hesitate to ask the seller for a quality certificate.
Load. Any suspended or mounted device on which a person is placed has its own weight criterion. This also applies to high chairs. Be sure to study the passport for such a product and find out the maximum weight load that this chair can withstand.

Adjustable seat height and backrest tilt. Convenient design of a highchair, because for a baby who has just learned to sit, feeding in a reclining position is an ideal option.
The presence of rubberized pads. They are needed to protect the table surface and fix the structure.
