Choosing a highchair that hits all the boxes!
A highchair allows your baby to experience family eating in a safe and comfortable way, but more than that, it offers a perfect place to play and enjoy new experiences as Mum and Dad prep food nearby.
Eating with the family is one of the loveliest milestones in your baby’s life and signifies a big step towards independence and inclusion. A good highchair offers the best solution to welcoming baby to the table and family meals with ease and comfort. Choose a highchair that hits all the right markers for comfort, longevity, and adaptability for growing tots with easy cleaning might seem daunting. But at Baby Accessories we have a great selection and lots of advice to make your highchair choice just right for you.
Babies can sit in highchairs from quite a young age, when using a newborn attachment. With a standard highchair, once your baby can hold their own head up, they are ready for the ease and comfort of a highchair. Mealtimes are a lot more fun for everyone when baby is at eye level and able to pick up and choose foods for themselves. A simple, easily cleanable tray is an essential part of baby led weaning, as baby explores new tastes, textures, and flavours. Safety is always a priority when choosing baby equipment. At Baby Accessories, we always ensure that highchairs have harness and seat straps that are simple to use but provide maximum security for even the wriggliest of little eaters. The highchair you purchase will probably be required to give at least two years of heavy uses and a hand me down life after that. So, it is important to choose a safe, sturdy, and reliable model. Look for a highchair that is comfortable, with an adjustable footrest, a high back, and a removable tray. The tray table should be easy to remove, and you might want to practice this in the store with one hand. Remember that you will probably be doing it at home with a jiggling babe in arms. If you need to move the highchair a lot, then look for locking wheels for ease of use. Fold up highchairs are particularly useful if you need to move to Grandmas house sometime or if space is a priority at your own home. Opt for a chair that has some transition options so that it can ‘grow’ with its little occupant, from spoon feeding to independent eating.
Style is also a consideration for many parents and luckily highchairs have undergone a design revolution over the years and are now as stylish as they are functional. We stock a snazzy range of wooden highchairs that will compliment any modern décor. The Stokke Tripp Trapp chair hits all the boxes any parents and is our absolute best seller. This classy highchair is usable from birth and boasts NB seats. It is not just a highchair, it’s a chair for life. With a multi adjustable seat and footplate, this chair takes up half the space of a traditional foldable chair. It is ergonomic with a clean contemporary design. Best of all it is easily cleaned and maintained and comes with a 7-year warranty. One hand tray adjustment (told you this was important!) and a zip off cover for easy cleaning make it very tempting and it folds down to a compact design for storage. It is just one of the ranges of highchair options we have online or at our store. One of our most common highchair choices is the ever practical, foldable model that offers options as the child grows, available in two colours, this is a perfect option for grandparents’ house or where space is at a premium, as it folds away neatly.
A good highchair not only gives you and your child the independence and comfort of joining the family for mealtimes, it also can provide a safe and secure place to explore their toys and games while you are prepping food. Having your precious small person safe and comfortable is essential so that they can enjoy their mealtimes, but it is not just the central place for meals, it is where good eating habits are fostered, new tastes and textures are tried and tested. And as if all that was not enough, once baby is strapped in happily munching on broccoli and carrots, you get to enjoy your food too!
