What are the standards for a baby's high chair?

To choose your child's high chair, make sure it meets the regulatory standards for safe use.

A quality baby high chair must comply with the NF S54-007 standard. This regulation calls for certain safety criteria such as the height of the backrest, which must be over 35 cm to be declared compliant.

In addition, the sturdiness of the baby chair is essential in its choice.

Stable legs guarantee no disaster. You should also pay attention to the finish of the high chair, especially the hinges. If these are accessible to your child's hands, make sure you find an alternative so that your child does not get his or her fingers caught in them or hurt themselves.

The size and build of your child should be taken into consideration, as a baby high chair should have a large enough seat volume for a child over 2 years old. This means that you can keep your high chair for a long time and not disturb your child's seating during mealtimes.

Above all, the highchair must have at least 3 attachment points to secure your child's pelvis and crotch at this height. This will ensure that your toddler will be securely fastened to the chair so that there is no risk of disaster. There are also highchairs with 5 attachment points for added safety for your baby. Here, the pelvis, crotch and shoulders are secured.

To ensure that the high chair is securely attached to the floor and stable, place the high chair on a flat surface. Optimise the space around the high chair so that your child has nothing within reach and cannot push himself on a third party furniture.

As soon as your child is in the highchair, strap him/her in directly and always keep an eye on him/her when he/she is in the chair.

Which high chair should you choose to accompany your child's meal?

There are many different high chairs available. Material, style and functionality can vary between the different products.

You can choose a high chair with or without a tray. With a tray, your child can put his meal, cutlery, glass and everything else he needs on it. However, if you opt for a high chair without a tray, it will act as a booster seat. Once your child has reached the size of the dining table, he or she will only have to eat at the same table as the adults.

Other accessories such as a highchair cushion or a booster seat are often offered as options by the brands we have selected.

How old do you have to be to buy a highchair for your baby?

Even though high chairs are often on the baby's birth list, it is around the age of 6 months that you can opt for a high chair for your little one's meals. This is the age when babies are able to sit up and hold themselves up. 6 months is the perfect age to start using a highchair. You can use the highchair earlier if it is adjustable, but the backrest should be tilted at least 135 degrees so that the highchair fits your child's back and holds him or her securely. Your child will then start to get used to the chair and will be even more comfortable once he or she is able to sit in it.

Compliance with standards is essential when choosing your high chair. Make sure that the support and legs are stable and that the harnesses and position of the chair are as safe as possible.

Choose the highchair that best suits your child's needs from a variety of models such as standard, natural or painted wood, progressive or folding/folding highchairs. Think about the accessories such as a cushion or a tray that are necessary for the use that you will make of it.

Don't wait any longer, as soon as your child is 6 months old or even before, to buy a high chair for his meals.
