High Chairs
Feeding your child solid foods will start at approximately 6 months.Many people will try to initially feed their child in a Bumbo, swing, bouncy chair or stroller and the results are usually quite disastrous! The only way to successfully feed your child with a minimum amount of mess and maximum amount of ingestion is in a high chair. High chairs are available in many different shapes, sizes and colours.
Let us explain to you the many possible features and uses of a highchair, and this will help you make your decision when it comes time to purchase yours. Please remember your child will eat 3 meals and possibly several snacks a day, so it is important to make the right choice in this department.
RECLINING: This feature is very important when the child is very young and still getting the hang of sitting up. When the solid feedings start, your baby will be very busy trying to digest all the new goodies, sometimes to the point of exhaustion. This is followed by the classic photo that many a parent possesses of a sleeping baby head down in a bowl of pasta! This is only funny the first time it occurs, but a reclining seat will probably make feeding time for you little munchkin a little more enjoyable if they can be reclined at a comfortable angle. When your child does appear sleepy or is simply out of sorts a reclined position is definitely far more comfortable and Since the work in the kitchen never seems to be complete, your child might as well be comfortable while you complete your chores.
WHEELS: Simple. Wheels allow you to move the chair out of the way and if the food simply becomes a little too spread out it allows for easy manoeuvring in the direction of the sink for clean up.
ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT: This feature allows your chair to be adjusted for a comfortable fit at most tables and also allows you to dramatically reduce its size when folded. This feature is handy when socializing
your infant with toddlers by keeping them safely contained at the appropriate level of play or when snacking at a junior sized table.
REMOVEABLE TRAY: Definitely allows for easy cleaning and lets face it this is an extremely messy job. Also makes for easy access and removal of your child if the tray completely removes.
WIPEABLE COVER: The cover has to be wipeable or you will find yourself laundering or even replacing it.
FOLDING: Allows for easy portability and storage of this otherwise bulky item.
KJ's tip : The biggest complaint with this product is the fact that
they seem very wide at the base. This is a standard that has to be
executed to prevent the chair tipping over with a child’s sudden
lunging or bouncing motion and as the chair sits quite high the base
therefore must sit wider to accommodate this.
 The award winning Peg Perego Prima Pappa Diner Highchair has everything you could possibly need or want in a highchair. It is designed for mealtime as well as napping with its 4 position reclining padded seat. It has a five point harness to keep your baby secure as well as an anatomic leg divider to prevent them from slipping down. The dishwasher safe double tray allows the parent to clean up while the baby can play with a toy on the remaining tray. It also has 7 adjustable height positions, allowing you sit in a chair and comfortably feed your baby. Available in many different vinyl cover colours as well as a few eco-leather options, there is something to fit any décor.
 Alternative styling to the classic highchair described above are products such as the Trip Trap from Stokke and the highchair from Svan, (both of which have solid wood construction). These items seem to be a little more compact and definitely more conducive to the shape and styling of the modern day kitchen. The Trip Trapp is a solid wood product offered in several fantastic colours and patterns. Don 't forget to buy some soft tipped spoons, bibs, bowls and a splat mat to keep your floors clean.
Boosters
 If you are looking for something portable for feeding your toddler then you will need a booster seat. They are great for taking to a restaurant, to grandparent’s house or for those of you living in a really tight space. They vary in features from fully loaded (5 point harness, recline removable tray) like the booster by fisher price. Or to something super basic such as the booster by elf which simple gives your toddler the height they need to eat at the table. If your looking for something for travelling, try the booster by 1st Years which self inflates!
