One of the biggest baby registry questions (after baby furniture, stroller and car seat) is do you get a high chair or a feeding booster seat? 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).

High chairs generally have a wide base for stability, and are positioned at a height that allows the caregiver to feed the child comfortably from a standing position. Highchairs are equipped with a tray attached to the arms of the chair. In addition, the majority of highchairs have restraints to keep the child from slipping or falling from the chair. Very young babies and infants should not be fed from high chairs.
Older children who are capable of sitting in a chair without support should not use high chairs. Fall and choking hazards are the primary dangers associated with high chairs. Defects in the seat restraints, tray attachment, or seat backing, may present a fall hazard resulting in injuries such as bumps, bruises, or cuts. In more serious instances, a fall from a high chair could result in concussions, broken bones, or even death. In addition, small parts or screws that may become detached from a high chair can present a choking hazard. Some defects associated with recalled models of highchairs include seatbacks that detach or recline unexpectedly, posing a danger of falls, and screws and plastic caps loosening or falling out of the chairs, presenting a choking hazard. In addition, some restraints and safety belts designed to snap a child into place have failed, causing the child to slip or fall from the highchair. Some models of highchairs designed to unfold or open up, may collapse on a child if the highchair is not properly unfolded and assembled.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in 2008, there were a total of 10,300 estimated injuries of children under the age of 5 connected to high chairs. Two deaths related to high chairs were recorded between 2004 and 2006. IKEA Home Furnishings, of Conshohoken, Pennsylvania, recalled approximately 600 units of LEOPARD highchairs because of fall and choking hazards. Eleven reports were received on failing snap locks on the restraint safety belt feature, as well as one report of a child who received bruises after falling from the seat and through the frame. An additional report was received about a child placing a detached snap lock in his mouth, posing a choking hazard. The LEOPARD highchair was sold worldwide in a variety of colors as an individual seat and frame. The chair was manufactured in Italy, and has a label that reads LEOPARD “Made in Italy” on the underneath side of the tray and seat. In addition, the supplier number 19589 is visible on the label.
The LEOPARD highchair was sold worldwide at IKEA stores from October 2009 through November 2009. The Evenflo Company Inc., of Miamisburg, Ohio, recalled approximately 643,000 Evenflo Envision Highchairs after numerous hazard and injury reports associated with the highchair surfaced. The highchair poses both a fall and choking hazard to children. Screws and fasteners located on the chair can become dislodged, causing the seatback to recline unexpectedly, or even detach. In addition, small, detached pieces present a choking hazard. Three hundred and twenty reports were received noting injuries related to the seatbacks on the highchair coming loose or reclining unexpectedly. Additionally, one report was received of a child placing detached hardware in his mouth. The recall involves all model numbers of Evenflo Envision highchairs. The highchairs were manufactured in China and sold nationwide at mass merchandise stores and juvenile product stores from December 2002 through April 2006.
Some Stores the highchair was sold at include Burlington Coat Factory, Toys”R”Us, and K-Mart. Approximately 90,000 units of the Evenflo Majestic Highchair were part of an expanded recall made by the Evenflo Company Inc., of Miamisburg, Ohio. 95,000 units had been previously recalled. The chair presented both a fall and choking hazard to children. Screws and caps on the highchair can easily loosen and detach, causing the seatback to unexpectedly recline or even detach. In addition, small parts that have detached from the frame or attachments can pose a choking hazard. Concerning the models included in this expansion, Evenflo received 145 reports of screws and caps detaching from the chairs, and 16 reports of seatbacks becoming detached or suddenly falling back. The models included in this expansion were manufactured in China and sold nationwide at juvenile product stores and mass merchandise stores, such as Walmart, Burlington Coat Factory, and Babies”R”Us, between January 2007 and December 2008.
Graco Children’s Products Inc., of Exton, Pennsylvania, recalled about 100,000 units of Graco Contempo Highchairs as a result of 18 reports received in which the highchair collapsed. Because of the design of the chair, if it is not locked into place from a fully opened position, the highchair can collapse, posing the danger of injury to a child. Two other reports were received from outside the U.S. about the highchair collapsing. The chairs feature 3 recline positions, and 6 height adjustments, as well as an “A” frame. They were sold in various specialty stores across the nation from December 2005 to December 2006. Some of the stores the highchair was sold at include: USA Baby, AAFES, Target, Toys “R” Us, Babies ”R” Us, Wal-Mart, and Burlington Coat Factory. On December 22, 2009, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Ikea Home Furnishings announced a voluntary recall of approximately 600 Leopard Highchairs, citing a defect in the snap locks used to secure the seat to the frame.
