High Chairs

Choice matters

Highchairs come in three main categories.

Traditional fold-up styles tend to be very adjustable, but most will only be suitable for children from six months to three years.

They are being superseded by the second option, chairs that evolve as your child grows – even into adulthood.

The third option is a pedestal design – essentially a plastic cocoon, akin to a scooped-out egg, on a support stalk.

Tasty trends

Because many people now prefer a highchair to be a feature of their kitchen, not something to be packed away between meals, the trend is towards cleaner, contemporary designs.

Unlike previously gaudy fabrics, seat covers are more chic, and they feature more metal or wood, rather than plastic, in the in the overall construction.
