What is it needed for?
When the baby begins to sit on his own, this is the first sign to introduce complementary foods. A young mother begins to sit him on her knees, on a chair or sofa and tries to feed him. However, in most cases, the child begins to spit out food and it ends up on the floor and on the seat. Mom is angry, the child is capricious - now it will take half a day only to clean up the room.
To prevent this from happening, manufacturers began to produce really necessary paraphernalia for parents - high chairs. The main advantages of such a child's chair:
- Saving cleaning time;
- Comfort for parents and children;
- Safe highchair design.
Having put the child in such a chair, the mother will feel calm, because feeding will become one pleasure for her, and there is practically no need to clean the room.
Some models are equipped with wheels and you can roll them around the house or just take them with you, then the child will always be supervised, and the mother can do household chores.

How to choose?
Parents should pay attention before purchasing a highchair for the following points:
- Safety belts... This element, which is a mandatory selection criterion, can be three-point or five-point. The difference is that in addition to fixing the baby between the legs and around the waist, the five-point harnesses also have a hold over the shoulders. Therefore, if the child is quite active in an unusual environment, then purchasing a highchair with five-point straps is the best option;
- Adjust function... Manufacturers produce high chairs in several versions of fasteners. Some can be fastened with bolts, others with grooves. In the first case, adjusting the position of the elements of the chair can be a rather laborious process, especially for a young mother, and in the second, a simple movement of the hands - and the chair is ready for use;
- Ability to quickly clean from food debris. To save time for cleaning, this factor is of considerable importance. Any non-wooden surface of the highchair in most cases is not afraid of moisture. Leftover food can be easily washed off with a strong jet of water.
- Stability of the structure. It is guaranteed by the wide leg spacing. This approach can often be found in transforming chairs, however, not all kitchens can accommodate this chair - there is simply not enough space;
- Easy to move. Some furniture modifications are equipped with casters that create comfort when moving around the room. In this case, the presence of locks-blockers on the wheels is necessary so as not to provoke the movement of the structure;
The presence of removable soft covers and a removable table makes the highchair really practical and indispensable in the household;
- Table top... A wide tabletop is an additional safety measure for a child, because, having moved it farther to the baby, he will not be able to reach with his legs to the table of adults in order to push off, which means that the chance of tipping back is significantly reduced. Additionally, it is worth noting that the presence of bumpers on the table top reduces the amount of food falling to the floor while feeding the baby. This will reduce cleaning time. And the presence of additional holes in this element of the chair fixes the dishes from accidental overturning;
- Compactness... When folded, the feeding attribute should take up very little space. When planning trips with a child, it will be convenient to take it with you, for example, to visit your grandmother. Additionally, it is worth noting that the chair includes a bag for carrying this product;
- Additional functionality. Many modifications of chairs for children today are equipped with some accessories that create comfort when handling the product for feeding. So, for example, the presence of a game panel or baskets for things and little things will create an atmosphere of comfort and add more functionality to the purchased furniture;
- Long service life. The kid is growing rapidly, so the best solution would be to purchase a highchair, which has a long service life;
- Unusual design. The uniqueness of the chair design can be emphasized by the beauty of the design. Bright saturated colors will add zest to the interior of a room or kitchen and fill the atmosphere with a good mood;
- Safety of materials and parts used. All products for children must be accompanied by a written conclusion - a certificate of quality - on the safety for children's health of the components used in the product. These documents must be requested from the seller of the goods. Additionally, during visual inspection, it is necessary to pay attention to the protruding parts of the chair. All corners should be rounded and surfaces smooth;
- Studying reviews. Having studied the characteristics of the model of the child's chair you like, you should definitely read the opinions of buyers about this product. This product may not be suitable for parents for some reason.
