The Best High Chairs for Every Use
High chairs for first spoonfuls, small kitchens, family dining tables, and grandma’s house.
Find the ideal high chair to suit your needs — from the first spoonful to your child joining the family at the table.
For the first months, with a reclining backrest
At around six months, your baby starts eating solid foods and needs a seat that keeps them in the right position. The Cangaroo Kimchi has an adjustable backrest with a recline position, so you can recline it a little after mealtime to let your baby rest. It also has a footrest to support their feet while they eat.
The adjustable height brings the seat level with the table or your chair, making it easier to feed your baby. The double tray comes off for washing without soiling the lower tray, and the wheels help you move it from the kitchen to the living room. When you don't need it, it folds away.
For the First Months
- Adjustable backrest with a recline position
- Adjustable height and footrest
- Double tray for easy cleaning
- Wheels for easy movement around the home
- Foldable
A review we picked out:
Great choice! What I liked most is that the child sits in a proper and safe position (unlike other high chairs I’ve tried). It’s easy to clean and well made! I highly recommend it!!!
For a small kitchen: folds away and stores neatly
In a small kitchen, you can’t leave the high chair set up all day. The Chicco Zest is foldable and weighs just 4.5 kg, so after mealtime, you can fold it up and tuck it behind a door or next to the fridge.
The seat and frame are made of plastic with no fabric, so you can wipe away purées with a sponge. It also has an adjustable height, adjustable backrest and footrest.

Review that stood out:
Affordable, sturdy, and well-made. The baby seems to sit comfortably in it for quite a while, and it’s very easy to clean since all its parts are made of plastic and metal. I highly recommend it!
At the family table, so everyone can eat together
Many children want to eat with everyone else, rather than on a separate tray. The Stokke Tripp Trapp is a wooden chair that pulls right up to your table. Its adjustable seat and footrest adapt as your child grows, keeping their feet supported.
For a baby, you’ll need the baby set and tray, which are sold separately. Later, remove them and the same chair can stay at the dining table through the school years. It has remained one of users’ most popular choices for a long time.
The Kinderkraft Enock has a wooden frame and adjustable height, plus a removable tray so your child can join everyone at the main table. It supports up to 35 kg. It’s the least expensive wooden option on the list and is suitable for a baby who can already sit steadily.
At the family table, for years to come

A review we picked out:
Four little ones, four Tripp Trapp chairs. I wouldn’t trade them for any other chair. They’ve been with us at the table since the children were six months old, and we adjust them to suit their needs. They’re worth the money. The only downside is that you have to buy all the accessories separately. We bought them once and used them for all four children. They’re great value for money!!!

Featured review:
I love it because it’s wooden and beautiful, it’s very easy to clean, and when my baby became a toddler, I removed the tray and put it straight at the big table with us—it fits perfectly. A much more practical choice than plastic seats with fabric covers that need to be washed all the time.
For a second high chair at Grandma’s house
When your baby regularly eats at Grandma’s house too, having a second high chair there saves you from having to bring your own. The Kikka Boo Jammy weighs just 3.5 kg, making it the lightest on the list, and is made entirely of plastic, so it’s easy to wipe clean after meals.
It has an adjustable height and a footrest, is 2-in-1, and supports up to 15 kg—enough for your little one’s first few years of mealtimes.
For a second high chair at Grandma’s house
- Lightweight: 3.5 kg
- Plastic seat and frame
- Adjustable height and footrest
- 2-in-1, up to 15 kg
2-in-1 baby high chair that converts into a chair, suitable for children who can sit up without assistance.
It can also be used as a low feeding chair.
Before choosing, consider where you’ll keep the high chair between meals and how many years you want to use it. Whichever one you choose, always fasten the harness and lock the wheels, if there are any, before seating your baby.
