High Chair For Baby

By Darren Hartley


A baby high chair must be sturdy and easy to clean. It needs to be durable enough to withstand years of daily use and abuse. A baby uses a high chair from the time he is ready for solid food until the age of 2 or 3.

The basic metal framed or plastic framed baby high chair comes in models that fold, making it easier to move and store. The nuisance to this type of high chair is its offering of less comfort to the baby and less protection from the mess the baby will inevitable make while eating.

The full featured baby high chair have all the features of the basic model plus extras including well-padded seats, wheels to roll the high chair from one location to another, detachable trays that easily go on and off, dishwasher safe tray covers and adjustable heights and seat reclines. Some models even convert into a booster seat or kid sized chair for use when the baby is older.

A baby high chair comes in models that convert into a booster seat or a kid-sized chair. This versatility enables it to be used when the baby is older, up to the ripe age of 5. A high chair must be sturdy and stable. A wide-based high chair is harder to tip over.

A baby high chair offering height adjustment makes it handier. One with an adjustable tray makes sure that the belly of the baby is not constrained at all as the baby grows. It is advisable to make sure that each adjustment looks securely into place.

A buckle in a baby high chair that is too shallow or simple to operate can easily be undone, even by the pressure of a baby's tummy. Harness straps must be adjustable to accommodate a growing baby. The high chair must carry the seal of approval from the JPMA a.k.a. Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association.
