Choosing the right high chair for your little one is an important decision. When choosing the best one, there’s a lot more to it than having one that looks stylish, is easy to clean, and collapses effortlessly. The ergonomics of the chair should in fact be the main consideration, according to many feeding experts, including paediatric dietitian Dr Kyla Smith.
We’ve taken the legwork out of the research for you, so you can make an informed decision and not only choose a high chair that will suit your baby when starting solids but will also adapt and grow with your child.
