Product Information

In addition, new chairs are harder than vintage ones to tip over, so think carefully before asking for an heirloom or hand-me-down.

The bucket-style seat is really easy to wipe clean, and does actually look clean when you’ve finished – we found some of the other white plastic high chairs tended to attract food stains. The soft, padded PVC-lined chair not only offers a bouncy cushioned seat, but it’s removable and wipeable, and has an adjustable back rest for maximum comfort. Perhaps the only difficult thing to keep stain-free is the harness, but this is a common issue on so many high chairs. A beautiful, intelligently designed chair with lots of thoughtful details, the Oribel Cocoon missed out on our transitional award as it’s still only suitable up to age three.Your young baby is safe and contained when strapped into a reclined high chair seat with their bottle while you cook, clean or otherwise work in the kitchen. It’s on the smaller side, however, so while it can hold babies up to 15kg, it might be a better option for dinkier tots.

As child nutritionist Charlotte Stirling-Reed says, sitting your child at your eye level and at (or close to) the rest of the family at mealtimes aids their development. While the fundamentals of both chairs are similar, the Nomi feels more streamlined, provides better support, and – in our tester’s opinion – has a more comfortable seat, making it the superior option. While we could rate how long it took to wipe down a chair in our Lab, we also leaned on user reviews for this. I think it's fine to clean the seat and legs with any cleaning wipe or product, but for safety, also rinse it afterward," Forté says.When space is at a premium, you can strap this right onto a kitchen chair and not lose any floor space. As a result, they are usually crafted from sturdy, high-end materials, are intentionally designed to look elegant and minimalist, and come with a range of design options so you’ll want to stick with it long-term. One of the drawbacks is that the detachable tray is slightly narrower than that featured on some of the models in our list, which means it will catch a little less dropped food. This is a really handy chair if you spend time at other people’s houses with no highchairs or you want a flexible solution that takes up no additional floor space.

A clip-on chair like this is not height adjustable, but the tray and cushion do come off to make this a booster seat for your preschooler, prolonging its usefulness. With no PVC or fabric, or pockets or corners in which crumbs can become stuck, everything can be wiped down with ease. The neutral design means it will blend in well with most kitchen or dining room decor – our tester especially loved the wooden legs. The adjustable height means you can switch between a breakfast bar and a table really easily, and the detachable tray is easy to clean. Naturally, thanks to its engaging and colourful design, it proved a hit with our one-year-old tester, but it’s great for parents, too.But taking into account that this chair will serve for a good number of years, we think it’s worth the investment. The buffet comes with a very generous table – one of the largest we tried – and it’s really easy to remove.
