Pros for High Chairs: Eye Contact with child (this was a big one with me) Huge tray to serve food on (that can go in the dishwasher) You can fold most of them up if you need the space back. Reclines for younger babies Cons for High Chairs: Most people don’t actually fold high chairs up Can’t take out of the house (too big) Hard to clean (food ALWAYS gets in crevices and fall on the floor) Most kids grow out of a high chair when they’re between 18 months to 2 1/2 years — unless you have something that will grow with your child, like Stokke’s Tripp Trapp.
Expensive (most likely over $100, upwards to over $300 – yikes!) Even with the tray off, it may not but your table well (and food may get on the floor). Pros for Feeding Booster Seats Easy to clean – you can take it off and clean under the seat You can take it with you (to grandma’s house.. You can take the tray off (if it comes with one) and place your child at the table. Price is more reasonable — around $30 – $60 A child can start off in the feeding booster seat with a tray and then go to the table as they get older. You can lower the booster seat and use it until your child outgrows any kind of booster seat. Cons for Feeding Booster Seats May not recline, and therefore not suitable from birth to 6 months of age. Some kids still may not be able to sit up easily in a non-reclining booster seat until 8 or 9 months. Seat may be too low, hard to have eye contact with baby. May not be as “stylish” as a high chair Personally, I prefer a high chair, but end up going to a feeding booster seat when my kids get to around 18 months to 2 years old.
Skylar is still in a high chair at 19 months and it suits him just fine. But I will be eventually moving him into his sister’s feeding booster seat (which was her big brother’s). We’ve used hand me down high chairs and booster seats, as long as it’s not recalled, you can use them safely! Which do you prefer, high chair or booster seat?
