What to Look For When Buying Wooden High Chairs (or Any Type of High Chair)
1. Choose a model that has a Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association certificate on it. Most reputable high chair manufacturing companies will voluntarily follow these safety standards.
2. Make sure that you are buying a sturdy, stable chair. Look for a low center of gravity and a wide base. Shake it around a bit as if you were a wiggly 8 month old child.
3. If the high chair has wheels, make sure that it comes with strong wheel locks to keep the chair from moving around on its own. Make sure that the chair will not tip over when pushed when the wheels are locked.
4. The high chair’s belts should include a crotch strap or post as well as belts that go over the baby’s hips. A five-point harness would be the best choice. Make sure the belts are made out of sturdy, washable but comfortable material.
5. Optional features include dishwasher-safe trays, reclining seats and adjustable height and footrests.
6. Look out for sharp edges or caps that your child can remove.
7. Check for ease of use. You will be using it several times a day and sometimes with an irritable, uncooperative, active child in the seat.
8. If buying a folding high chair, make sure that it has a secure locking system so that it does not collapse by accident.
9. Trays should be lightweight, easy to remove and attach, easy to clean and have a rim of some sort to prevent spills from leaking to the floor. Make sure that the tray locks securely when in place.
10. Look for cushions that are removable, washable and comfortable.
