There are many varieties of High Chairs for babies.
|
Baby high chairs come in so many varieties that it's hard to pick just one! Do you want a wooden high chair, or would you prefer metal, or plastic? Should the chair be attached to the table, or be a freestanding high chair, that can be moved from the kitchen to the dining room easily? An infant's high chair should have the capability to recline, because little babies just don't have the muscle development yet to sit upright on their own. Think about how high your table is. Your baby will be most comfortable when he or she is able to be pulled right up to the table at the same height as the rest of the family. You must pick the best high chair that suits your needs, and is safe for your baby.
Some safety questions that you should be asking when picking out a highchair are: Is the chair sturdy and stable with a wide enough base? Will it be a comfortable enough chair - and if there is padding, does it look like it will puncture easily? Are there any sharp edges, on the tray or the seat? Is the tray easy to remove, or will it be too difficult with a squirming baby under one arm? Are the straps and buckles that will hold your baby in the chair secure and babyproof? And, is the tray adjustable, so that as your baby grows the high chair adjusts to fit?
Other things to think about are whether the high chair is easy to clean without too many nooks and crannies, and if the tray is dishwasher safe. You can now find many models like Fisher-Price high chairs (their Link-a-doos Deluxe Plus Healthy Care High Chair is good), that have removable trays that fit in the dishwasher. Some will even come with a separate tray for each meal. Graco high chairs are also excellent: their Harmony and Easy Chair lines are both great picks.
A high chair for baby should cost between $65 to $200 or so, depending on how fancy it is. Whether you are looking for a nice antique high chair, a booster high chair for an older child, or a portable high chair for traveling, there are many to choose from - just take it one step at a time and you will find the right one. Take a trip to your neighborhood baby furniture store, and make sure to look online as well, and you will find the perfect high chair for your little one.
