Inspect the safety harness of your chair. Look for its ability to be cleaned, and if you are obtaining a gently used high chair, be sure that the straps are intact. The use of the safety harness is the number one factor to ensure safety.
If you decide not to use the straps, make sure that your baby cannot get out of the high chair.
Consider a chair that is easy to wipe down and clean. Food tends to get stuck in small crevices.
Before purchasing a new high chair, measure the height of your kitchen table, as some high chairs are pretty short.
Bring the high chair to the table and get your baby as close to the table as possible from the beginning. We want your child to feel part of the meal experience - not eating off in a corner.
Does the high chair have a removable and tray? This is a great feature because as your baby gets older you can slide her chair directly up to the table. This also eliminates the need to convert to a booster. Our favorite chair that does this is the Beyond Junior wooden high chair.
