When choosing a chair for your child High Chairs From Birth 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 High Chairs From Birth strongly recommends 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 High Chair Baby recommends 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.
