Product Information

Footrest tests We apply a weight to the footrest, to replicate a toddler climbing on it, or using it to stand up when in the high chair. We've seen some fail at 10kg, which is around the weight of a one-year-old. Type: Plastic freestanding highchair with two size trays for growing child | Materials: Metal; plastic; foam seat insert | Suitable from: Birth | Harness: Yes | Wheels?: No What we love Cleaning With cloths and brushes at the ready, our experts wipe and scrub Bolognese sauce and banana purée from the covers, trays and harnesses to see which ones are easy to clean. We pay particular attention to those hard to reach places where food can get trapped, such as seams and tray inserts.

Then, depending on the size and independence of your child, you may want to switch to a booster seat on an adult chair. Many multifunctional and transitional highchairs adjust in height, so you can bring the chair right up to the table. How much does a highchair cost? When your child no longer needs a high chair (and the age will vary depending on the style of high chair you buy), you can either sell it via an online marketplace; give it to a charity shop, friend or family member; or dispose of it. Folding/unfolding Nothing goes unnoticed by our eagle-eyed parent testers. Parents and carers with children from eight months upwards are let loose on the high chairs to give them a thorough test. We get them to fold and unfold the high chairs to see how easy or difficult this is.We asked Charlotte Stirling-Reed what features bewildered first-time parents might watch out for, here are her top tips: This means we can give you a verdict you can trust on the best high chairs, to help you shop with confidence.

Curved laminar pads™ follow the contours of the shoulders and rib cage with a lowered sternum adjustment strap to reduce the risk of choking. As child nutritionist Charlotte Stirling-Reed says, sitting your child at your eye level and at (or close to) the rest of the family at mealtimes aids their development. We offer three trays in line with the three chair widths available. The actual surface area of the trays is exactly the same but the slots for the mounting arms have to be in different positions in line with the chair width meaning that the trays aren’t interchangeable between different chair widths.Transitional-style chair – can be used from birth with a baby bouncer attachment, from six months with a baby set, and indefinitely as a chair after three years or 15kg

A multifunctional chair might be a good choice if you want to adjust the chair to fit your baby or sit at your table, if you prefer a more comfortable cushion or if you know you’ll want to fold it away when you’re not using it. 3. Transitional highchairs Type: Freestanding highchair which converts into a toddler chair | Materials: Not stated | Suitable from: 6 months+ | Harness: Yes | Wheels?: No What we love Padding – this makes the high chair more comfy for your baby, but makes more work for you when it comes to cleaning. Save yourself as much scrubbing time as possible by opting for a high chair with as few seams, creases and crevices in the upholstery as possible. Watch out for textured fabrics or those that say handwash only. Equally useful for six-month-olds trying solid food for the first time and wriggly toddlers needing a place to eat without distractions, highchairs come in a variety of sizes, functionalities and prices. To find out which highchairs are the best, our parent tester put some of the UK's top-rated models their paces. We also consulted the Mumsnet forums for advice on which products they recommend and use with their own children, as well as seeking out expert advice from the NHS on what to look for in a highchair. Keep reading as we take you through the best-performing products, as recommended and tested by parents. How we chose our recommendations But the definition of good furniture covers more than a low price. The quality has to be there, too. And it is. We take the toughest demands in each region and by regular quality and safety inspections we make sure ANTILOP lives up to all of them. If a new law or standard is introduced we test the chair again.Cons: Can be heavy, large chairs not ideal if you're short on space, padding can be fiddly to clean. Although some of the chairs we tested had extra accessories making them suitable for smaller babies, children should only use a highchair to eat once they’re able to sit unaided. For children who need the opportunity to rest their head from time to time when seated we offer a head rest. It is important to point out this isn’t intended as a head support i.e. to support the head properly, it really is just a rest. And when it comes to baby food, our baby food blendersare exactly what you need to prepare your little one's meals from scratch to ensure they're getting nutritious food that's full of goodness. A little mess is inevitable though, so muslin squares are what you need here - and how about our bibs? I had a mimzy highchair and it was fab, but it was recommended to me as little one has hip dysplasia and its really wide. It could be a pain to clean but all the padding comes off and goes in the washing machine which I used to do once a week (normally Sunday after dinner and then it would be dry by Monday dinner time after nursery)."(Recommended by Mumsnetter ItsSnowJokes) Our verdict

Tray drop tests Trays are removed and dropped on each side, to see whether they break. A broken tray is no use to anyone, and it could be leave sharp edges or small parts that could fit in a baby's mouth.I love the IKEA antilop. Little ones make SO much mess when they eat and I loved how easy it was to clean." Recommended by Mumsnet user swaziscot Our verdict For older babies and toddlers, a familiar chair often signals ‘mealtimes’ to them, allowing them to eat free from distraction and out of harm’s way. How long will I need a highchair for? Great Value models do pretty well in our tests - they need to score at least 60% or more. They're also at least 20% cheaper than the average cost of other high chairs in our tests. Our experts have highlighted these as the best models to go for if you're looking for a bargain. Some Great Value high chairs also score well enough to be a Best Buy. A multifunctional highchair is a step-up in functionality and price. It has been designed to include features that make life easier or that adjust the chair to suit your child.
