When choosing a chair for your child Baby High Chairs recommends that you consider these options in order to select the appropriate product. Although there are many options to consider when looking for a seat do not let what appears to be a dazzling array of features ,which you never even imagined existed, get in the way of making a fully informed decision. Just follow the easy tips outlined here and you will be well on your way to making a correct and well informed choice to suit you and your child’s needs and best interests.

1. Safety – any seat that you are thinking of buying must pass the British Safety Standards. Check For the DD ENV 1178 and BS 5799 mark . If the seat doesn’t have it then we strongly recommend that you stay away.

2. 5 point Harness – find a seat with a 5 point harness, this will provide the greatest security for a child, preventing them from slipping out of the seat or standing up which can clearly be very dangerous.

3. Wipe Clean – look for a seat that specifically states that it is wipe clean and for extra points look for a detachable feeding tray that can be put through the dishwasher to make your life easier.

4. Storage – a high chair which can be easily folded to a compact size is a must as this will allow for easy storage and transportation.

5. Comfort – look out for a chair that states it is “deep padded”. These seats offer the highest level of comfort for a child and will allow for easier mealtimes.

6. Entertainment – to keep your child stimulated find a chair with a character toy bar.

7. Wooden High Chairs – although stylish and  durable these seats are often difficult store as they are not as compatible as the plastic/metal chairs on the market. So you will need a set space to store them. If this may be a problem then we recommend that you consider another type of chair.

8. Stability – the wider the base of the chair the better as this will in turn mean that it will be more stable and less likely to tip over.

9. Storage Basket – finding a chair with a storage basket will let you keep everything you and your baby need at your fingertips.

10. Locking Device – a chair with a locking device will prevent collapsing. Also look for lockable trays to avoid any further potential hazards.
