Investing in a High Chair While high chairs are not always top of the list of things new parents have to buy, they are an essential later on down the line. Sure, there are baby high chairs that can adapt to holding new babies, but most high chairs are designed to seat older babies as they get into solids and eventually start feeding themselves. So, what kind of things should parents look for when buying a high chair? First up, as always, is security. Check that the high chair meets Australian safety standards before looking at anything else. Aside from safety though, there are several aspects to consider. One of the most important things to think about is how easy the chair is to clean. Babies are messy, especially when they eat. It’s truly amazing where food ends up during an average mealtime, so make sure the high chair – and all its parts – can be easily cleaned and sanitised. This goes hand-in-hand with ease-of-use. Again, with baby stuff, it has to be easy to use. With arms full of screaming baby, that high chair needs to be accessed with minimal fuss.
It can also be a good idea to check for handy features as well, such as wheels, and an ability to transform and adapt as baby gets older. Some parents care about what their high chair looks like, some do not. It’s all personal preference!
