Choosing the right high chair is an important step for your baby’s feeding journey. After all, the right chair can make mealtimes safer, easier, and much more enjoyable. With so many options on the market, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

Why a Good High Chair Is Important

A high chair does more than just seat your baby. It helps develop good posture, promotes independence, and keeps your little one safe during meals. Plus, the right high chair can grow with your child and fit your lifestyle.

When Does Your Baby Need a High Chair?

Most babies are ready for a high chair around 6 months old. This is usually when they can sit up without much help and are ready to start solids. Starting at the right time also helps your baby join the family at the dinner table and builds social and eating skills early.
