It seems like only yesterday that you had to support your precious one’s head and neck as they fed from a bottle. Now that your baby can sit up on his or her own and is starting to eat solid foods, a decent high chair is in order. We’ve scoured the market for the best high chair and have come up with reviews to help you choose the top product. The Graco Blossom 4-in-1 Seating System understands how fast babies grow and has created a product to accommodate. The best part is its convertibility. With 6 height, 3 recliner and 3 footrest positions, you can easily adjust the seat based on the child’s size or the height of the table. The seat back insert for infants supports the baby’s head and body as he or she feeds, and then can be removed as your child grows. The infant feeding booster that attaches to a chair secures your child as they eat with a 3-and-5 point harness. When your child becomes a toddler, they can use the toddler booster seat to sit at the table and hone their table manners.
Then when he or she is big enough, the seat comes off and converts into a youth chair. The tray that will both serve as a plate for baby and a base to learn about new textures and flavors is also easily removed with one hand. Just pop the tray in the dishwasher for easy cleanup. To move the chair from the kitchen to, say, the dining room, simply use the front two wheels to roll it and the rear castors to lock it into place. What we like: Feed two children at the same time, using the highchair and toddler booster or infant high chair booster and youth chair together. Below is a chart comparing the top 5 high chairs based on features: This sleek high chair would blend nicely in modern kitchens. The smooth surfaces free of cracks makes this the cleanest product with no chance for accumulation of crumbs or spills. The pneumatic lift makes changing the height of the chair as easy as it is on your desk chair. It moves smoothly across the surface of your floor without scratching it, due to six urethane castors.
The 5-point harness keeps your baby locked in safely, and the pedestal base is perfect for fitting easily under tables. It includes one tray liner for your convenience, and the removable tray is dishwasher-safe. What we like: The easiest to clean on the market. It is simple, sturdy and classic wooden with modern conveniences. The 3 recline positions are perfect when feeding infants, and the dishwasher-safe tray has 4 positions, as well, that can be adjusted and released with just one hand. The fun, cute embroidered padded seat is vinyl coated for easy washing, and the 5-point harness keeps your baby safely in his or her seat while eating. What we like: Timeless appearance is a comfortable fit in most homes. This high chair will accompany your little one from infancy to toddlerhood. The infant chair reclines to support the feeding baby, then converts into a full high chair with a tray. When your child is big enough, the seat can be removed and used as a booster. The seat pad is both easy to wipe clean or throw in the washing machine, and the one-hand tray is removable and machine-washable, as well.
When you’re not using the seat, it is easy to fold up to store or travel with. What we like: Two trays for easy cleanup. From 4 months to 3 years of age, this chair will grow with your baby due to a contoured and adjustable seat and 3 seat height and depth levels. Easily adjust the seat to 3 recline positions and 5 height positions using large buttons. The one-hand removable and dishwasher-friendly tray can also be stored on the back of the chair’s legs. Four locking wheels provide mobility and stability, and two-part disassembly makes storage simple. What we like: Seat fabric is so easy to clean and dries quickly.
