Since these pieces of furniture are in high demand, manufacturers are constantly releasing more and more new models and designs of high chairs.

It is not surprising that it is easy to get confused in the characteristics of these products. Let's see what parameters and design features deserve special attention.

1. Security. This is the most essential characteristic of any product for children. In this case, you need to make sure that the following conditions are met: a quality certificate, special safety straps, increased stability of the device (provided by wide legs, rubber elements, stoppers in the presence of wheels).

2. Comfort. This is a combined characteristic, consisting of several parameters and factors:

3. The strength of the product. This parameter does not directly depend on the material, although wooden products are traditionally considered more durable than plastic ones. But modern plastic is so high quality that it is often not inferior to wood. That is why more attention should be paid to the quality of materials and fastening.

4. The presence of a countertop. This element plays important role, because it allows the child to feel like an adult (by analogy with parents). In addition, ideally, the countertop should be removable so that it can be washed in the sink or in the dishwasher.

Some models are equipped with additional accessories. Expert opinions differ on this parameter. Someone is convinced of the need for various pockets for small things, toys, music modules, while others are sure of their uselessness. Therefore, parents in this matter need to focus only on their own needs and needs.

Depending on the type of design, the duration of operation of the feeding chair also differs. Some models can be used from birth up to three years, while others are successfully used up to the age of seven.

Such an important device as a highchair for feeding is made by many different companies. More economical models are offered by domestic manufacturers. But feeding chairs from foreign companies are distinguished by wider functionality and attractive design.

For the most part, all companies pay special attention to the safety and quality of products. However, among the manufacturers, there is a group of firms whose products are in the greatest demand and popularity. Let's consider them in more detail:

Of course, the list of popular manufacturers of high chairs for feeding is not limited to the above brands. Well-known manufacturers of children's furniture include Inglesina, Fisher Price, Bloom Fresco, Geoby, Capella, Babies, etc.

All these companies are quite well-known, and their products have earned a lot of positive reviews. Another aspect is that the models are widely represented on the domestic market, so parents can easily find a good high chair.

At what age to buy?

Many parents are wondering when to buy a high chair? For each child, the period of the appearance of this subject in his life is different. General recommendation- start using high chairs from 6 months, when the baby already knows how to sit confidently. However, some children develop faster, some more slowly. And the model of the chair also affects the age of its use.

The beginning of the use of the primer also signals the need to purchase a high chair. The child at this time eats inaccurately, spits out food, scatters it. To ensure cleanliness in the apartment, it should already be fed in the kitchen.

You can use this piece of furniture for up to about three years - the chairs are mainly designed for weights up to 15 kg.

Types of highchairs for feeding, their pros and cons

To choose the best option for a child, you should know what highchairs are, their pros and cons, and what age they are suitable for.

There are several varieties of highchairs for feeding - which one is better?

Compact models of highchairs Very often the dimensions of the apartment do not allow you to purchase additional large interior items, so you should pay attention to special compact models of highchairs. Parents often purchase a booster chair or a hanging highchair. In the first version, the model is attached to a chair for adults, in the second - directly to the dining table. A mobile high chair is usually inexpensive and light in weight, but it should only be attached to a secure base, and the maximum allowable weight of the child is 15 kg. High chairs for feeding

After you no longer need a high chair for feeding, it can be transformed into a table at which the baby can play, draw and even eat. True, there are also disadvantages. Due to the fact that this type of high chair has a high height, the baby will not be able to leave it at will, this reduces the activity of the child, and therefore, to some extent, his development.

A very convenient model, for those who have a kitchen area that does not allow for a separate place for a high chair. This model clings to an ordinary chair, and now the baby can sit at the same table with her parents.

In addition to its obvious advantages, it also has some disadvantages. firstly, this type of high chair is far from suitable for all tables, for example, if you have a glass table or a table with 1 support at home, then this model is not for you, and secondly, the baby will not be able to sit in the high chair himself, and in thirdly, if your child is very active, you should not opt ​​for this model.

Classic wooden high chairs They have been around for a long time and are popular even today. The minimum set of parts - can only be supplemented by a countertop. In addition to feeding, it is not intended for anything else. Used only at home. Designed for babies aged 5-6 months to 3 years. Outwardly, they look like ordinary children's chairs, which move closer to the table during feeding. Children's chairs-transformers Convenient and multifunctional model. The most common variation is a table-chair for feeding. Also, a 2 in 1 highchair can be used as a cradle, swing, walker, deck chair or rocking chair. The 3 in 1 high chair model can be a crib, swing and high chair at the same time. A 4 in 1 high chair can also become a walker. Over time, the transformer highchair can be transformed into a school desk - this way it will last until the baby reaches 6 years of age. A wooden transformer highchair for feeding will serve the baby for a long time, and will help parents save money. Travel highchairs

More like a kangaroo bag. The travel highchair is made of fabric and has an affordable price. They are equipped with strong straps that allow you to fix such chairs almost anywhere (mainly a chair for feeding on an adult chair). A fabric highchair is a good solution for traveling parents or just during a variety of trips. Houses are practically not used.

There is also a special high chair for twins, which can be a real boon for doubly happy parents.

Which highchair to choose - important parameters

Stability of the highchair He must stand confidently in the kitchen so that the child, trying to leave it on his own, does not fall. Remember, no matter what degree of safety the chair has, in no case do not leave the child in it unattended. Seat belts In the event that your baby is very active, you need to choose a model in which there are seat belts, it is best if they are five-point. Cover material An important criterion when choosing a chair is the material. For the kitchen, an oilcloth base is most suitable. After all, children are so dirty, and every time it is not rational to wash the fabric base. Chair material

The main materials are wood and plastic. Classical models and transformers are made of wood, plastic is used mainly for boosters, hinged and folding products. Chipboard for children's products is not recommended.
When choosing a wooden high chair, you should prefer hardwoods - beech, walnut, maple. The coating should be water-based, and the uncoated surface should be smooth so that the baby does not accidentally get hurt or drive a splinter.
When buying plastic products, you need to pay attention to the presence of a chemical smell. And in order to purchase a really reliable chair, without harmful fumes or other defects, you should not choose cheap models and be sure to familiarize yourself with the quality certificate in advance. Today, when deciding where to buy a high chair, many people choose online stores. In this case, it is also important to review the certificates in advance - if the seller is reliable, he will have nothing to hide.
A chair with metal inserts will be stronger, although heavier.
Seat upholstery can be fabric or film. In the first case, it will be more difficult to wash the dirt, but the baby will be more comfortable, because on the film seat it will be hot in summer and cold in winter (especially if the room is not heated enough). Best Option– Removable cover for the highchair in combination with foil upholstery.

The presence of bumpers on the table This will be a very useful addition, because at first the baby still does not know how to wield a spoon or fork. And half of the soup is on the table. The sides will not allow the soup to end up on the floor and add to your problems. Color The color of the chair should be calm shades, because the attention of the crumbs should be focused on food, while eating, and on toys, while playing. Folding function If your area does not allow you to buy a high chair, but you still decide to buy this particular model, when buying, pay attention to the fact that there is a folding function. This will save space, but not much time. So choose the model that suits you best. Pay attention to the presence of sharp corners. After all, your fidget is striving to scratch and hit himself somewhere. Deprive him of this opportunity. Fixed footrest Fixed footrest - the key to the development of correct posture in the child. After all, the baby should have support, it’s not good when the legs just hang out. Backrest adjustment function In the event that your baby is not yet completely confident in sitting, choose a chair in which the backrest is adjustable. You will be able to feed the baby, whether he is sitting or reclining. Do you need a table

The tabletop is not only a stand for baby food and drinks, but also a place for exciting games. Shelf mom is busy cooking, you can put a toy or a book with bright pictures that will distract the child for this time. The tabletop will also protect the baby from accidental falling. Its minus is that the chair cannot be put close to the table. However, the presence of a removable tabletop solves this problem. You can buy another one in reserve - while the mother wipes one after eating, the child will play on the other.
Size is also important here - a cup, spoon and plate should be freely placed on the countertop.

Table top adjustment function It's not bad if the table top of the chair can also be adjusted, closer or further away from the child. So, when he eats, you can move the countertop closer, and when the baby plays, further. Baby's age For a six-month-old baby, a hanging feeding chair or a rocking chair for feeding is suitable. Children aged from one to three to five years can buy a wooden transformer or classic models for feeding. Dimensions

The choice of size depends on the height and age of the baby. It should not be like a "clamped" chair, but complete freedom is also not needed. It is necessary to ensure that the baby is firmly pressed against the back of the chair, it is good if both the back and the seat are adjustable.
A three-year-old child should purchase a separate table and chair. The distance from the floor to the seat should be equal to the distance from the lower leg to the foot of the baby. The height of the table is such that the baby, sitting behind it, can put his hands on the table in a sitting position, slightly bent at the elbows. Feeding chairs from 0 months old can be small, the main thing is that the backrest reclines to a lying position, since it is still difficult for a baby at this age to sit - this piece of furniture is rather used for the convenience of parents.

What to look for when choosing a high chair

As a rule, when choosing a chair for feeding, parents expect that it will serve the baby for at least 3 years. Therefore, attention must be paid to the reliability of all components of the structure. . Many models are equipped with plastic parts that can break if handled carelessly.

If you have a small kitchen In order not to take up precious free space, you can use a booster chair. It is quite securely attached to the back of a regular chair. And you can buy a hanging version, which is mounted to the kitchen table.

When the question arises of buying a high chair, the baby has just been born. Choosing this or that model, parents hope that She will be Not only serve its intended purpose, but be used for calm baby play .

Today's children are active from birth. Once they start crawling and then walking, it is very difficult to keep little fidgets in place. Will the baby agree to sit in the highchair and play while you are busy with the housework?

If you have firmly decided to purchase a stylish, comfortable chair, make sure that the model is not only beautiful, but also reliable and practical. After all, you will have to use the chair for more than one year. So that the chair does not lose its attractiveness, choose models made of durable and high-quality materials.

If you have a toddler in your house, then very soon you will have to think about how to choose a high chair. However, this matter should be taken very seriously, since the comfort and health of your baby depends on it. It should be noted that general principle The use of such furniture is the same, regardless of the model.

Before choosing a highchair for feeding, you should familiarize yourself with the most important requirements for children's furniture. First of all, it must be as stable as possible. It should not fall, even if the child turns around in it. In the store, try to shake the chair. If he stands firmly on his legs, then you can not be afraid for the safety of the baby. Naturally, if you have a small kitchen, then you should not choose too large children's furniture.

An excellent option would be a chair, to the legs of which wheels are attached. In this case, it will be easy to move it from place to place. The wheels must be equipped with an additional brake, which, if necessary, can fix them in a stable position.

Before choosing a high chair, it is advisable to pay attention to the countertop. It should have small sides that will not allow the plate or cup to fall. Naturally, the countertop must be made of safe and natural material. And it should be easy to remove and wash. It will be great if the countertop can be removed altogether so that the baby can eat at a joint table. The seat of the chair should be soft enough, not too wide and not too narrow.

An important element of such furniture is the fact that Small child cannot always sit still, and there is a possibility that he will simply slip off. In addition, it is advisable to pay attention to the upholstery of this piece of furniture. She needs to wash well.

Before choosing a high chair, carefully inspect it for damage, chips, or deformed parts. All fasteners must securely fix parts of the structure. Check if its height can change. In some models, it is possible to adjust the backrest. If you often go on a visit or to nature, then choose a model that can be folded.

As for the material from which the structure is made, manufacturers now use wood and plastic. Sometimes you can find metal chairs. In any case, you should choose the safest option. Remember: it should not have any extra parts that the baby can get hurt on.

It should be said about the design of the structure. It should be bright and colorful so that the child likes the colors and patterns.

As for the most popular models, we can imagine the Inglesina Zuma highchair. It fully guarantees safety, is very comfortable for the baby and has a beautiful design. Another great option is the Happy Baby Highchair. This is a multi-functional item that fully ensures the safety of your child, and the bright design will ensure great mood baby while eating.

The child is already able to sit, and you begin to introduce complementary foods. It's time to start using a special highchair for feeding. What should it be?

What are highchairs made of?

There are three frame options for children's highchairs - wood, plastic, chipboard. Plastic chairs are good because they are easier to clean, while wooden chairs are more environmentally friendly. When choosing a highchair made of chipboard, pay attention to the level of the manufacturer and whether he has certificates of conformity. The fact is that the inevitable chips and scratches can provoke the evaporation of the components of the glue, which is used in the production of chipboard.

The experience of parents suggests that it is better to choose a plastic highchair. Wooden ones turn out to be bulky and heavy, and chairs, unlike, for example, from a crib, have to be moved quite often. The plastic high chair is lighter, easier to clean and folds up. And if you abandon the "bells and whistles", then such a chair will cost no more than a wooden one.

The upholstery of the highchair should be made of a smooth material with a water-repellent effect. On oilcloth and leatherette seats, the baby will be uncomfortable, and cotton ones get dirty quickly and are inconvenient to clean. And for this case, a great find - removable covers.

But the material from which the highchair is made does not matter for the health and development of the baby (unlike the material for the crib). Other parameters are much more important. About them - below.

What should a baby highchair have?

• Seat height and backrest adjustment. This will allow you to feed your baby in a reclining position, which is especially convenient for the first time using a high chair when the baby has just learned to sit.
• Removable tray with compartments for plates and mugs. If necessary, it can be replaced with special play panels (included in the kit or purchased separately), and then the highchair will play an unusual role, but so useful for you and your baby.
• The table should have several fixed positions (closer or farther from the seat). You will especially appreciate this parameter when you use a highchair for games. During feeding, the table should be moved closer to the baby, during games - a little further.
• High sides at the table so that food and utensils do not fall off it.
• Safety straps for fixing the baby on the chair. In the cheapest options are most often missing.
• Wheel clamps. Models of high chairs with wheels are more convenient than stationary ones, but check the presence of latches before buying.
• Footrest, footrest. An important point, as the footboard will not allow the baby to fall.

Be sure to pay attention to the seat belts of the high chair. They are three-point and five-point. The difference is in ensuring the stability of the baby on the highchair. For children who have just learned to sit, it is better to use a five-point harness, for those who are older and well-sitting, a three-point harness is sufficient.
