Considerations To Make When Buying Your Baby’s High Chair

Considerations To Make When Buying Your Baby’s High Chair

November 3, 2021 By Fatherhood Factor Team Leave a Comment

Parenthood comes with a long shopping list, but one of the most important things you’ll buy for your baby is their high chair. The right high chair can make mealtimes safe and enjoyable for you and your little one. On the other hand, a high chair that doesn’t work well can be inconvenient and frustrating for everyone involved. Don’t waste your money on a chair you’ll immediately want to get rid of. Instead, purchase with confidence by remembering these considerations to make when buying your baby’s high chair.

Safety First

The most crucial thing you need in a high chair is safety. You want your baby to be secure and comfortable as they eat, explore, and enjoy mealtimes with you. Safety straps are key. Make sure your high chair has a three- or five-point harness, and use it to safely buckle in your child. It’s also a good idea to look out for pinch points in which little fingers—or your own hands—can get caught.

Convenience and Functionality

Mealtimes with baby can be messy, loud, and hectic. The last thing you need on top of all that stress is to fight with your high chair. Make sure you can easily operate the chair when you need to. Even better, see if you can adjust the tray or other features with one hand while your other arm is occupied with your baby.

Convenience is another consideration to make when buying your baby’s high chair. Does it fold up and store easily? Does it have wheels for easy transportation that can still lock for safety? Features such as these will make your high chair much better suited for your specific needs.

Sustainability

Sustainability should be part of all baby products in your kitchen, but it’s particularly important for big purchases such as a high chair. There are a few ways to include eco-friendly practices in your purchase. First, pay attention to the materials that make up your high chair. Avoid plastic, and instead opt for wood with a natural or nontoxic finish. You can also make your purchase more sustainable by looking for a high chair that will grow with your baby. Size, height, and tray adjustments will keep your little one comfortable as they get bigger, allowing you to make good use of your high chair for longer.
