1. High-Leg or Low-Leg Chairs
• Low-Leg Chairs: Low-leg chairs are suitable for babies aged 0-3 years. They have a low center of gravity and are more stable, preventing the baby from tipping over. The baby's feet can firmly touch the ground, increasing their sense of security. They are suitable for families with limited space. However, the baby cannot be easily moved once seated, so the flexibility of use should be considered.
• High-Leg Chairs: High-leg chairs are suitable for babies aged 6 months to 4 years. Their eye level is the same as adults, making it convenient for parents to feed and care for the baby. The seat and footrest heights are adjustable, accommodating babies of different ages. Babies can dine with the family, increasing family interaction. But the high design makes it easier to lose balance, and there may be danger when the baby makes big movements. Choosing a model with a lower center of gravity and thicker chair legs is safer.
2. Models with Footrests
Research shows that when a baby's feet are firmly on the ground, they can focus better on eating and maintain a stable sitting posture. Therefore, choosing a high chair with a footrest can increase the baby's stability and make their mealtime more comfortable.
3. Detachable Tabletops
Selecting a baby high chair with a detachable tabletop can help maintain cleanliness and hygiene. After the baby finishes eating, parents can easily clean the tabletop and reduce bacterial growth. This is especially important for families that prioritize hygiene.
4. Foldable Models
If your home has limited space or you need to move or store the high chair frequently, a foldable baby high chair is a wise choice. Low-leg chairs generally have more foldable models, while high-leg chairs are more difficult to fold. Therefore, you should consider the space available in your home before purchasing.
