After months of breastfeeding, it’s about time your little one joins you at the dining table for his dinner puree. Six months also marks a milestone where your baby graduates from being held, to holding his or her own in a sturdy high chair! But how do you choose the best high chairs for babies? From wooden baby high chairs to baby booster seats and even multifunctional ones that can be transformed into recliners and toddler chairs, we take you through the top picks.
Our Recommendations
What to look out for when buying the best high chair for babies?
-
Amount of space you have
Nobody wants another baby item lying around or blocking the space in your living room. If you’re stretched for space, then you might want to go for a baby high chair that isn’t so bulky and more streamlined in design. Consider a booster seat for tables. It can be strapped onto your dining chairs or a foldable high chair. Some of the best baby high chairs can shrink to a compact size to be stowed away when not in use.
-
Easy to clean
There will inevitably be spills and crumbs when feeding your little one. Baby high chairs with removable padding that can be popped into the washer are a godsend. Alternatively, go for wooden high chairs or faux leather materials that can easily be wiped down.
-
Safety
Be sure that the baby high chair that you choose is sturdy enough to withstand the weight of your growing child. Other safety features to note are 3 or 5-point harnesses or safety bars that help secure your child and keep them snug in place.

Multifunctional high chairs
A chair that can do it all? Some of the best high chairs for babies grow with the child — that means they can be used as a cradle, a traditional high chair, a toddler booster seat and even as a regular chair later on!

Booster seat for table
Booster seats for tables are a transition piece between the baby high chair and dining table chair. As its name suggests, it gives your child a boost in height so they can come closer to the dining table. To install, simply strap them onto the dining table chairs and buckle your child in.
