Requirements to choose a high chair

One of the articles that is indispensable during the first years of our son is the high chair. From six months of age the high chair is the ideal place to feed the baby because of the comfortable position it offers both parents and the little one. It is also so useful that you can even play and rest on your high chair.

In Babies and more we have talked about different models of high chairs, innovative, functional, etc., butwhat do we consider when we decided to buy a high chair?, for example, the most suitable material.

We can find high chairs of plastic only or mixed with nylon and also of wood, these would be the most recommended options since a highchair of metal would discard it due to the hardness of the material although it was adequately coated, in addition a warmer material is more pleasant No cold metal. Another question to ask would be: do we want it foldable or fixed? It is clear that it will depend on the space available to parents at home, since although a fixed highchair would be the ideal option, it occupies a space that in some cases can result necessary for other needs. A folding high chair is a logical option in the absence of space, as it can be stored anywhere in the house.

The reality is that we could ask ourselves a lot of questions, but there is only one that is really important, necessary and that we must keep in mind, is it a safe high chair?

Above all it is safety, that a great design or great functionality is useful if it can pose a danger to the baby. We must be consistent and the first thing we must demand when choosing a highchair is that it complies with the European Safety Regulations.

The high chair must have basic and obligatory elements such as the straps, these allow the child to be prevented from falling but does not limit his movements, it must be of a solid but warm or soft material so that in case of a small accident, they can damage minimized. The high chairs must have adequate safety locks in the tray, at the height of the seat, at its opening, the locking of the wheels, etc. The songs that a highchair can present must always be round and there should be no recessed parts where the child could catch a hand.

Buying a highchair, without guarantee can represent a great danger for the little one, if in doubt, do not be seduced by the price of a highchair, security is paramount and it does not matter to spend a little more when it comes to the welfare of the child.
