Choosing a safe, sturdy and easy‑to‑clean high chair makes mealtimes easier and helps keep your child secure. Our independent testing checks for hazards such as finger entrapment or tipping risk, and evaluates how easy each chair is to use and clean.
Buy the best high chair for your home
Our expert reviews are based on safety testing, durability checks, ease‑of‑use assessments and cleaning trials mimicking messes like Weet‑Bix, spaghetti and baby food. We only recommend high chairs that meet strong safety expectations and perform well in everyday use.
What you need to know when buying a high chair
Safety is more important than style. The most common injuries occur when children try to stand, climb or wriggle out of the chair, or when fingers and limbs get caught in moving parts. Choosing a chair that meets a recognised standard and has secure restraints reduces risk of harm.
