Product Information

Every high chair in our roundup below has been tested by our reviewers in their homes with the help of their own babies. This allows us to make a complete assessment of each model, from how easy a highchair is to assemble, how it looks, how sturdy and secure it feels with baby sitting in it, and how easy and hygienic it is to clean. Real-life testing such as this allows us to deliver a fair and honest account of our experience, while also identifying any smaller issues that might arise in day to day use of a product.

Stokke Nomi: The best high chair for long-term use Our tester loved the good-sized tray and sectioned silicone food mat, which not only allows for baby-led weaning but for sensory activities with dried pasta, water, bubbles and more. It was very easy to clean, with no difficult corners for banana porridge or squashed Weetabix to hide in. This fun-loving design from Infantino is a brilliant value-for-money high chair that converts into a booster and toddler seat. Naturally, thanks to its engaging and colourful design, it proved a hit with our one-year-old tester, but it’s great for parents, too.

Silver Cross’s Buffet high chair might be a touch on the pricey side, but since it will see your little one through from a newborn to a toddler, it’s actually rather good value. Key specs – Height: 106cm; Weight: 7.9kg; Other: 7 adjustable heights, detachable tray, newborn cradle mode; Age: Birth to 3 years (max weight, 15kg) ADJUSTABLE - The Buffet highchair grows with your baby, with 7 adjustable height positions, 3 adjustable calf-rest positions and the lie-flat recline seat, you can find the best height for feeding at home or on the go. Key specs – Height: 84cm; Weight: 4.5kg; Other: 360° chair spin, 2-position adjustable tray, 5-point safety harness; Age: 6 months to 3 years (max weight, 15kg)Following six months of liquid breakfasts, lunches and dinners, your baby may be ready for weaning. That means it’s time to buy the best high chair you can find. You’re probably best to get a high chair just before your baby starts showing these signs, so you’re ready to go with puréed fruit as soon as they’re ready. Many high chairs are designed for babies who can support themselves, although a handful can be used as reclining seats for younger babies until they’re ready for weaning. What types of high chairs are there?

It’s straightforward to assemble without the need for tools, and easily transforms into a booster or pre-schooler chair by unclipping or clipping-in the extendable legs and removing the detachable try. There’s a recline option, too, which means it can be used by babies from as young as three months, when they start to show an interest in wanting to sit upright and join you at the table, but can’t quite support themselves. One of the more expensive high chairs on our list, the Cosatto’s 3Sixti2 features all the bells and whistles other high chairs can only dream of.

Our only gripe? This perhaps isn’t the easiest chair to store when it isn’t in use. The wheels on the bottom of the legs are great for moving it around the house, but aren’t ideal for storage. The legs also flare out quite a bit, so you’d likely need to unclip all the parts and store them separately if you’re tight on space. In addition, we include a range of designs in our tests, from high chairs that can be completely folded down for easy storage, to those that grow with your baby for extra longevity, and travel options for times you’re visiting family or taking a holiday. Also highlighted at the end of each review are key details such as dimensions, weight, and age suitability. How big is it?: Many highchairs understandably have a large footprint at the base for stability, so it’s important to consider the overall dimensions of the highchair, especially if you are more limited on space at home. Some highchairs are designed to be left out at all times once assembled, while others offer a compact fold or even free-standing fold for more simple storage when not in use. MULTI-FUNCTIONAL: YUMMY is a high chair designed for children who are able to sit up unaided (from approximately six months) to 15 kg (approximately three years). Because it folds down to a compact size, the high chair is easy to store at home. You can also take it with you on holidays The 3Sixti2 is available in a range of colourful and engaging prints that might not appeal to all tastes, but will be loved by babies and toddlers. The two-part tray is a great addition, and can be removed for when your little one wants to join you at the table.

Key specs – Height: 90cm; Weight: 5.4kg; Other: Detachable tray, 2-position foot rest, adjustable 5-point harness; Age: 6 months to 3 years (max weight, 15kg) Key specs – Height: 83.5cm; Weight: 4.68kg; Other: Optional newborn set, baby set, harness, and cushion; Age: Birth to adult (max weight, 150kg) There are five adjustable height positions for feeding at home or on the go, three calf-rest positions and the lie-flat recline seat is ideal for after dinner naps. PortableAdjustable heights: Does the highchair offer adjustable height levels and if so, is it easy to move between the settings? Customisable height settings can ensure a comfortable seating or standing position for you as a parent. They can also help change up the chair to suit your table height, which is ideal if you wish to eat together as a family. Buffet’s water resistant, wipe-clean fabric protects against accidents and from six months, the dishwasher-safe detachable tray with divider can be used. To position at the table, the tray can be simply removed and the chair used with or without the T-bar insert (up to 15kg or approximately three years). Room to grow We also loved how easy it was to fold and store away. It’s on the smaller side, however, so while it can hold babies up to 15kg, it might be a better option for dinkier tots. So you’ve chosen a high chair, now what? Regardless of whether you’re spoon-feeding your baby or going down the path of baby-led weaning, there are a couple of essentials you’ll need. These include bowls, spoons, a cup and bibs. It helps to have at least two of each so one can be washed while the other is being used. There are dozens of options to choose from, but we recommend a pair of plastic, bamboo, or silicone bowls; a plate with compartments; a pair of training spoons; a sippy cup; a pair of bibs with a catch tray (also typically made of silicone); and a pair of wearable bibs for when you’re ready to let them get messy. You could also opt for a weaning mat, which sits underneath the high chair to catch all the falling food to make cleaning up that little bit easier. How we test high chairs
