COSTWAY 4 in 1 Convertible High Chair, Multi-Functional Dining Highchair with Adjustable Legs, Detachable 4-Position Tray, 5-Point Seat Belt, Wooden Feeding Chair for Baby, Infants, Toddlers (Khaki)

Product Information

It can be used with the newborn set from birth, the baby set from six months (sitting unaided) and after three years or 15kg until adulthood and beyond, so it's great if you need a piece of furniture that will last and can be used by every member of the family. We also like that the tray is dishwasher-safe for particularly messy mealtimes! It's expensive but with a thriving second-hand market you should get a high resale value when you're finished with it. Although some of the chairs we tested had extra accessories making them suitable for smaller babies, children should only use a highchair to eat once they’re able to sit unaided. Can be reclined, used with a small tray for a just-weaned child, a larger tray for a child feeding themselves, or without the tray for a toddler sitting at the table This product has been tested and certified to comply with European Safety Standard BS EN 14988:2017+A1:2020. We have a Stokke steps and LOVE it! It looks stylish, It’s easy to clean and has a foot rest. Highly recommend!” Loved by Mumsnetter AfternoonTea12 Our verdict

One more quirk is that the tray is two pieces, the main tray and a darker, pop-out tray cover that is meant to make clean-up easy. However, this pop-out tray only covers the center well of the main tray, so it doesn’t really save time on cleanup. Both pieces will need to be cleaned after every meal unless you’ve got a really neat foodie who will keep all their food in the center well. A multifunctional highchair is a step-up in functionality and price. It has been designed to include features that make life easier or that adjust the chair to suit your child. Transitional-style chair – can be used from birth with a baby bouncer attachment, from six months with a baby set, and indefinitely as a chair after three years or 15kg It’s a good idea to read up on their specs before choosing one to make sure you’ll be able to use it safely. It’s helpful when travel chairs collapse to a portable size and many come with their own carry cases or shoulder straps to help with this. It is also worth mentioning that this chair shouldn’t be used before your baby is 6 months old and families should discontinue use once their little one reaches 36 pounds.

At the inexpensive end of the spectrum are the budget chairs. These tend to be standalone highchairs (intended to be used by themselves using a plastic tray, instead of being pulled up to a table), short on adjustability features and elaborate design – favouring instead a functional simplicity that often, incidentally, means they’re much easier to clean.
