8 Best High Chairs for Baby, Tested by Families
In a nutshell:
Based on feedback from independent product testers, surveys of nearly 550 parents and advice from five experts, The Inglesina My Time High Chair is The Bump’s pick for overall best high chair. It stood out due to its excellent adjustability, supportive seating position, easy-to-clean design and long-term utility from infancy through toddlerhood. We chose the Graco Table2Table Premier Fold 7-in-1 High Chair as the overall best convertible high chair because it’s simple to set up and offers seven distinct configurations that grow with your family.
As a mom of two, I’ve learned that finding a high chair is a lot more complicated than it seems. Before having kids, I assumed it was just a place for baby to sit during meals, and one was as good as another. But after years of cleaning mashed avocado out of crevices, wrestling a squirmy baby into harnesses and wondering whether my child was actually sitting comfortably (and correctly), I’ve come to realize that not all high chairs are created equal.
In The Bump’s parent surveys, over 90 percent of respondents said their top high chair frustrations are when they’re difficult to keep clean and don’t support baby sitting upright—and according to the experts we spoke to, keeping baby in the upright “90-90-90” position is extremely important.
With that in mind, we set out to find the high chairs that meet these pain points—and an array of others—through our testing. After all, the right high chair can make mealtimes smoother, safer and less stressful. The wrong one can leave babies slouching, parents constantly scrubbing hard-to-reach corners and everyone counting down the minutes until the meal is over.
To decide which of the market-leading high chairs to test for this article, The Bump editorial team took the following approach:
- The Bump editors conducted extensive research to identify the 65 leading high chairs on the market. We dug deep into the needs and pain points experienced by moms and dads at feeding times and the high chair features designed to help address those needs.
- We interviewed a range of experts, including a pediatrician, a pediatric physical therapist, a dietician, a pediatric nurse and baby gear consultant, on features parents should look for in a high chair and what safety features they should keep in mind when using one.
- We surveyed 545 parents in The Bump community and asked them to rate the high chairs they’ve used with their own kids and comment on their overall experience.
- We read scientific research and laws regarding high chair safety from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). We also followed advice from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on infant feeding to ensure the high chairs we’ve recommended meet the latest safety requirements.
We used all this information to create a shortlist of 24 high chairs to test and evaluate how they perform for specific parent needs. From there:
- Over four years, we enlisted the help of 25 families to use and review the baby high chairs in their homes with enthusiastic and fussy eaters through a host of messy meals. With the help of their infants and toddlers, these independent product testers assessed these high chairs for ease of use, positioning of child, safety, ease of cleaning, effectiveness and features, value for money and more.
- We carefully matched the right family with the right high chair. For instance, when assessing how good a high chair was for baby-led weaning, we made sure it was put in the hands of a family that was practicing baby-led weaning with their child.
- Because every family’s experience is different, we scoured forums and message boards and read user reviews to find out how these high chairs performed for parents nationwide.
Editorial integrity is at the heart of everything we publish. Read more about how The Bump develops our product reviews.
Overall best standard high chair
- Excellent positioning support
- Adjustable footrest
- Folds easily for storage
- Newborn-friendly recline
- Five-point harness can be stiff to buckle in
- Need to remove tray to get baby in and out
The Bump takeaway: The Inglesina My Time Highchair earned the Best of The Bump award for overall best standard high chair for the second year because it proved to be exceptionally easy to use in daily life with little ones. The popular high chair combines supportive positioning, thoughtful adjustability, easy cleanup and everyday practicality in a single, well-designed seat.
Simple to adjust and fold, supportive for upright positioning and suitable for use from birth, the Inglesina My Time Highchair delivered on every key feature we value in a high chair. One of the biggest reasons it impressed us was its adjustability. Our tester Larissa appreciated the four-position height adjustment, which allowed her 9-month-old to comfortably be a part of family meals despite their bar-height dining setup. “If you don't have a traditional table height, this chair will allow you to still comfortably feed baby and allow baby to join you for meals,” she praises, adding, “We use our kitchen island bar as a dining table and we were able to pull the chair right up so our baby could sit next to us,” she says.
Positioning
Our experts repeatedly emphasized the importance of properly positioning baby in the chair, and this was an area where the Inglesina excelled. In keeping with the 90-90-90 rule, Dr. Clarissa Aguirre, PT, DPT, a board-certified pediatric physical therapist, notes that babies should ideally sit with 90-degree bends at their hips, knees and ankles, with their feet supported on a stable surface.
During testing, Larissa found that the Inglesina made achieving that setup relatively straightforward, thanks to the effective five-point harness, supportive seat design and adjustable footrest. “I absolutely love how my baby didn't lean to the side in this high chair because he has that problem in another we have tried,” our tester says.
The adjustable tray was another highlight. Although the seat depth itself is fixed, the tray can be positioned closer to baby to ensure they can access everything as normal. “The tray position is adjustable and it has two adjustments. We used the closest adjustment for our baby, and it allowed him to comfortably reach his food,” Larissa reports.
Newborn use
If you have a newborn or young infant, the Inglesina My Time’s seat can be adjusted to a near lie-flat position so baby can join you at the table even before they start on solid food. While most kids start eating solids around 6 months of age, several of our experts said it’s never too early to involve them in communal meals.
“I’m a huge fan of high chairs that have a from-birth option,” says Rebekah Kimminau, CPST, a certified child passenger safety technician and baby gear expert. “This is because I believe the earlier you bring a child to the table and involve them in family meals, the more comfortable they will be in that setting in the future.”
Ease of cleaning
Once mealtime is over, parents will appreciate that this high chair is easy to clean. Made from an anti-bacterial, stain-resistant leatherette material, the Inglesina My Time can be wiped down with a sponge. “I didn’t need to clean the straps because the harness covers provided a lot of coverage for our 9-month-old baby. I placed the top tray cover in the dishwasher to clean and it came out like new,” Larissa explains.
Storage and aesthetics
While this chair has a sleek, neutral design that blends easily with most homes, it’s also simple to fold and store in-between meals. It even has rear wheels for added mobility when not in use. “The overall size of the high chair when in use is comparable to most high chairs that I’ve used, but since it folds and can be put away, it fits perfectly in our smaller city space,” Larissa praises. “We’ve received many compliments from visitors in our home saying that the high chair looks very comfortable and luxurious, and that our baby has the best seat in the house during dinner!”
Dimensions: 30.3" (L) x 22" (W) x 33.5" to 41.5" (H) | Weight: 24.2 lbs. | Age range: Newborn to 3 years | Weight capacity: 55 lbs. | Dishwasher-safe tray: Yes | Footrest: Yes
Our product tester says:
“Our 9-month-old baby was able to sit at the 90-degree angle straight and comfortably. The padding on this high chair is very luxe and aesthetically pleasing. I can tell our baby is very comfortable in it!”
Overall best convertible high chair
- Transitional and effective 7-in-1 design
- Turns into a toddler table
- Good level of adjustability
- Good value for long-lasting chair
- Larger size can be cumbersome
- Some say the tray is tricky to attach
The Bump takeaway: For parents who want one purchase to carry them through multiple stages (or multiple children), the Graco Table2Table Premier Fold 7-in-1 High Chair is a great choice. This two-time Best of The Bump winner for overall best convertible high chair offers genuinely useful conversions that live up to the marketing hype, impressive adjustability and strong long-term value.
Lots of convertible high chairs promise years of use, but many stretch the definition of “convertible.” We’ve all dealt with a high chair that requires extensive disassembly every time you want to transition from one configuration to another, or promises five modes when it's really three (and even then you sort of have to squint).
The Graco Table2Table Premier Fold 7-in-1 High Chair, however, delivers on its promises and can provide your child different seating options for up to six years. While some high chairs inflate the number of modes by counting a different height or a removed tray as a new configuration, this option actually offers seven unique functionalities: infant recliner, high chair, infant booster seat (with high back and harness), backless toddler booster seat, toddler chair,a kid-sized table and chair set and, finally, a big-kid chair and baby booster used with two kids simultaneously. For families hoping to maximize on one purchase, it’s got real value for all it has to offer.
Ease of conversion
“It transforms into multiple configurations, and it does so with ease and absolutely no tools needed,” says our tester, Brooke. “Both my 10-month-old and my almost 4-year-old were able to use the seat comfortably.” That versatility matters, but what impressed us even more was how easy Graco made the transitions. Despite there being seven configurations, setup took Brooke less than 10 minutes, and she describes the process as “quick and painless.”
Adjustability
In high chair mode, the Table2Table offers five height positions, three recline settings and a three-position footrest, giving parents a lot of flexibility to create a supportive fit as their child grows. “The harness is both easy to use and very secure, giving me peace of mind when stepping away,” Brooke adds.
Ease of cleaning
The Table2Table’s removable tray stores conveniently on the back of the chair and can go directly into the dishwasher. Cleanup was also surprisingly straightforward for a chair with so many moving parts. Brooke reports it was a breeze to wipe with a wet rag. “Keeping the tray clean is pretty easy,” she says. “There are some crevices that food finds its way to on the actual chair, but they’re easy to get to and clean!”
Size and value
While the Table2Table high chair is certainly larger than some of the sleeker options on our list, that extra size contributes to its impressive longevity. In fact, one of its most distinctive features is the toddler table and chair mode, which gives children a dedicated place for snacks, crafts and more independent activities. In this configuration, it even offers enough space for two kids to sit on it at once.
For growing families or parents who simply don't want to buy multiple seating products over the years, the value is hard to beat. In Brooke’s words: “You will never have to buy another chair for your child (or an art/kiddie table); this literally has it all. The quality is fabulous and the durability is unmatched.”
Dimensions: 24" (L) x 27" (W) x 44" (H) | Weight: 25 lbs. | Age range: Infant to 6 years | Weight capacity: 40 lbs. (highchair, infant booster, toddler booster) to 60 lbs. (toddler chair) | Dishwasher-safe tray: Yes | Footrest: Yes
Our product tester says:
“The best part about the Graco Table2Table Premier Fold 7-in-1 High Chair is its never-ending features. Not only is it a high chair, but it also turns into a booster seat and toddler table and chair. For a home with multiple-aged children, this high chair is perfect for accommodating all ages.”
Best budget-friendly standard high chair
- Extremely affordable
- Easy to clean
- Lightweight design
- Quick assembly
- No footrest
- No adjustability
- Some parents say the legs take up space
- Straps are hard to clean, according to our survey
The Bump takeaway: The IKEA Antilop proves you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars to get a safe, functional high chair. While it lacks many premium features, its simplicity, easy cleanup and extremely affordable price make it one of the best values available. As a result, it earned a Best of The Bump award for the best affordable high chair for the third year in a row.
The IKEA Antilop high chair costs less than your most recent grocery run—but it'll last a lot longer. The Swedish retailer is well-known for affordable, functional designs, and the Antilop is no exception. At just $24.99, it delivers exactly what many families need: a safe, sturdy place for baby to eat.
Of course, that low price comes with some trade-offs. Unlike many higher-end models, the Antilop doesn't offer height adjustments, recline settings or a built-in footrest. Dr. Aguirre notes that foot support can help children maintain an upright posture during meals. That said, parents can choose to add footrests and infant inserts while still spending far less than they would on a premium high chair.
Ease of assembly and use
Unlike many IKEA products, the Antilop requires minimal assembly and no tools at all; everything just snaps together. “Setting up the chair was quite easy,” reports our tester Ariana. “It came in four parts and took about five minutes.”
The lightweight design makes it easy to move around the house, while the extra-large leg openings made it simple for Ariana to get her 9-month-old in and out of the seat. She also gave high marks for safety and stability. “The three-point harness secured my baby very well,” she says. “The chair felt very stable.”
Ease of cleaning
When it comes time to clean up, the Antilop’s plastic seat is a piece of cake to sponge, since it has very few hiding places where food can become trapped. “Unlike many other chairs, this high chair has a very simple design,” Ariana says. “No crevices, which makes it simple to wipe down.”
One parent in The Bump forums, muppet.fan, even says, “We used to pull it outside and just hose it down after super messy meals!” However, it’s worth noting that a few parents in our survey mentioned that the nylon harness straps could be tricky to clean at times.
Storage and long-term functionality
Despite its budget-friendly price, Ariana expects the chair to last well into toddlerhood, thanks to its roomy design and adjustable harness. As an added bonus, multiple Antilops can be stacked for storage, making them a practical option for larger families or homes that frequently host young visitors.
Simple, affordable and remarkably functional, it's easy to see why the IKEA Antilop has remained a parent favorite for years. If you’re looking for a basic option that’s easy to use (and easy on your wallet), the Antilop really shines.
Dimensions: 24" (L) x 26" (W) x 35.6" (H) | Weight: 8 lbs. | Age range: 6 months to 3 years | Weight capacity: 33 lbs. | Dishwasher-safe tray: No | Footrest: No
Our product tester says:
“The IKEA high chair is worth the price. I believe the low price point is perfect because it makes it affordable for parents. [It’s] great quality and does what it needs to do as a high chair.”
Our community says:
It’s under $30, is relatively small compared to other full-sized high chairs and is super easy to clean. The legs come apart, so it’s easy to store. – doraleigh35, The Bump forum member
It was inexpensive and good value for the money. It's a good height to sit by the table. - Tabitha*, mom and The Bump survey respondent
I love the cost, style and ease of cleaning of the IKEA high chair. – Taylor, mom and The Bump survey respondent
Best budget-friendly convertible high chair
- Excellent value
- Supportive seating position
- Four multi-stage configurations
- Compact fold for simple storage
- Footrest may be too low for younger babies
The Bump takeaway: If you're looking for a high chair that offers more features than a basic budget pick without venturing into premium pricing territory, the Graco Ready2Dine DLX strikes an impressive balance. It performed exceptionally well in our testing for support, cleaning and ease of use, making it the Best of The Bump winner for best budget-friendly convertible high chair.
Families shopping in the budget category often find themselves making compromises. Typically, a lower price means sacrificing adjustability, cleaning convenience or long-term usability. The Graco Ready2Dine DLX is one of the few affordable options we tested that managed to deliver on all three. Ringing in at around $120, it isn't the cheapest high chair on the market, but it fills an important gap for parents who want more features and flexibility without moving into premium price territory.
Positioning
One of the biggest surprises that emerged during testing was how well it performed from a positioning standpoint. While many affordable high chairs struggle to align with the 90-90-90 rule, our tester Andrea found that her child was secure in the Ready2Dine DLX and wasn't slumping or sliding down in the seat. “My baby sat very supported in this high chair. The footrest was a nice addition so that he can feel stable and I like that it can be adjusted based on his height,” she explains.
Adjustability
The adjustable footrest is a welcome addition at this price point. Andrea noted that her 10-month-old was still too small to comfortably reach it even at its highest setting, but she predicts that they’ll get more value from the feature down the line. “At this time, [he is] still too short for his feet to touch even at its highest. I know we will love it when it does.”
Despite this, every other aspect of the seat was well-suited to her infant—particularly the adjustable tray. “[The] tray was level with his chest at this time and he was able to reach his food comfortably, which is important since we do baby-led weaning,” Andrea shares.
This is in line with Brown’s advice: “If the tray is too high, babies can’t comfortably bring food to their mouth; too low, and they lose visibility and control. Ideally, the tray sits ‘just right’, around mid-torso so their arms can move freely and self-feeding is natural.” Dr. Aguirre elaborates that this tray positioning “allows the child’s elbows to be supported when they are practicing grasping finger foods or stabilizing food on a utensil.”
Ease of use and cleaning
The Graco Ready2Dine DLX’s ease of use also impressed Andrea during testing. The mom of three found the assembly intuitive, reporting that she barely needed the instruction manual. She also found the tray easy to attach and appreciated how secure it felt once in place.
Better yet, once it was set up and being used by her family on a regular basis, it was a breeze to keep clean. The chair features a relatively crevice-free design, removable fabrics and dishwasher-safe components. Andrea found that most messes wiped away quickly and especially appreciated the removable tray cover for everyday cleanup. Even the fabric seat cover and harness straps cleaned up surprisingly well after repeated use.
Multi-stage features and storage
Storage was a strength for this high chair as well. The chair folds with a one-handed button press and collapses into a relatively compact footprint. According to Andrea, it “folds up small enough to lean against a corner of the kitchen when not in use. The high chair was easy enough to move around both folded and unfolded.”
While Andrea’s 10-month-old is getting the most use out of the chair at the moment, the Graco Ready2Dine offers four configurations that allow it to grow with your child. She was able to transition the chair into a youth stool configuration that worked well for her 3-year-old, extending its usefulness beyond the baby stage. Apart from the high chair setting, “I think the youth stool is the most useful because it will allow kids to sit at proper height to the table without adding a booster to our kitchen chairs,” she shares.
All in all, parents who want a budget-friendly chair with more flexibility than the IKEA Antilop, but don't necessarily need the extensive configurations of the Graco Table2Table, will likely find the Ready2Dine hits a sweet spot.
Dimensions: 21.5" (L) x 27.5" (W) x 33.8" (H) | Weight: 10.5 lbs. | Age range: 4-6 months to 6 years (stool and big kid chair) | Weight capacity: 40 lbs. (highchair and toddler feeding seat); 60 lbs. (youth stool and big kid chair) | Dishwasher-safe tray: Yes | Footrest: Yes
Our product tester says:
"The Graco Ready2Dine was incredibly simple to set up and use. My baby felt very supported during meals, and I loved how easy it was to clean—especially being able to remove the tray cover, straps and fabric pieces when needed. It also folds down small enough to store in a corner of the kitchen when we're not using it.”
Best easy-to-clean high chair
- Incredibly easy cleanup
- Silicone-coated, machine-washable straps
- Clip to hold straps when putting child in
- Converts into a child chair
- Can be snug for larger babies
The Bump takeaway: The Mockingbird High Chair's silicone-coated straps, wipe-clean surfaces and thoughtful design that supports both everyday meals and messy baby-led weaning adventures earned it a Best of The Bump award for the best easy-to-clean high chair for the third year in a row.
Throughout our research, community surveys and testing process, parents consistently told us that cleaning is their biggest high chair frustration. And if you've ever spent 20 minutes digging dried oatmeal out of a high chair harness, you'll already understand why. Crumbs get trapped, straps become stained and soft fabrics absorb everything from yogurt to spaghetti sauce.
That's why the Mockingbird High Chair stood out so clearly from the rest. Our tester Natalie described it as “one of the easiest highchairs I've ever cleaned,” and after hearing about her experience, it's easy to understand why.
The most notable feature is the silicone-coated harness system. Unlike traditional fabric straps that absorb food and moisture, these wipe clean in seconds. Natalie appreciated that they stayed fresh even after repeated messy meals. “I love that the straps are easy to clean,” she says. “The ease of cleaning is a big plus—it gives me peace of mind knowing I won't be constantly finding hidden crumbs as I have with other high chairs."
Cleaning other parts of the chair is similarly straightforward. The tray topper removes easily for sink or dishwasher cleaning, while the rest of the chair wipes down effortlessly with soap and water or a cleaning wipe. Natalie was particularly impressed by the lack of hidden crevices. “There aren't any hard-to-reach spots, which I really appreciate,” she says. “I've been able to clean every area with no trouble at all."
Positioning
The Mockingbird's thoughtful design extends beyond cleanup. Natalie found that the Mockingbird allowed baby to sit in a comfortable position, reporting that it “gave him a good sense of control during mealtime. The seating position really seemed to help him pick up food from the tray more easily, and he was able to guide a pre-filled spoon to his mouth with less effort.”
Natalie loved that her little one could sit directly at the family table, a feature that worked especially well for baby-led weaning. What’s more, the large, adjustable footrest also helped with positioning. “He could rest his feet flat on the footrest, which I think added to his stability and comfort.”
Ease of use
The harness system on the Mockingbird high chair received high marks for ease of use as well. While the fit adjustments took some trial and error at first, Natalie loved the unique magnetic buckle and appreciated the clips on the back of the chair that keep straps out of the way when placing a child into the seat. “The chair feels very sturdy, and they seemed comfortable and safe in it,” Natalie reports, adding that the magnetic harness was “impressively strong."
One caveat worth noting: Some parents have said it can be difficult to lift larger babies out of the seat due to the design of the leg holes. Natalie also found that lifting her 6-month-old out of the chair could occasionally be awkward because his legs sometimes caught on the seat. That said, others have noted that if you stand behind the chair when lifting your child, it’s much easier.
Multi-stage configurations
Beyond the high chair years, the Mockingbird converts into a child-sized chair without requiring tools, extending its usefulness well into the toddler and preschool years. Natalie found the chair sturdy, comfortable and easy to adapt for older children, particularly her 5-year-old who loved the climb-in feature. “The adjustability is especially useful since every child is different, and it’s nice to have a product that can grow with them and serve multiple purposes,” she praises.
Dimensions: 24" (L) x 16.5" (W) x 35.5" (H) | Weight: 16.5 lbs. | Age range: 6+ months | Weight capacity: 35 lbs. (high chair); 150 lbs. (child chair) | Dishwasher-safe tray: Yes | Footrest: Yes
Our product tester says:
“The ease of cleaning is a big plus—it gives me peace of mind knowing I won't be constantly finding hidden crumbs like I have with other high chairs. Despite lots of messy meals, there are no stains so far.”
Our community says:
I love my Mockingbird highchair! My favorite things about it is that it's easy to clean, has a small footprint and has silicone magnetic straps. - Laurel*, mom and The Bump survey respondent
Love the rubber straps for cleaning; everything is simple and easy to adjust. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and it can transform into different uses as my child ages. - Moriah, mom and The Bump survey respondent
Best adjustable high chair
- Seven seat positions and two tray depths
- Seven footrest heights
- Dedicated carry handle
- Five seating modes
- The tray has to be removed for entry
- Harness is stiff, according to our tester
The Bump takeaway: No high chair on our list offers more meaningful adjustability within a given mode than the Momcozy DinerPal, Best of The Bump winner for best adjustable high chair. Between its seven seat heights, seven footrest positions and adjustable tray depth, it gives parents an exceptional amount of flexibility to create a comfortable fit as their child grows.
If there's one lesson we learned in our research, it's that babies don't all fit into high chairs the same way. A setup that works perfectly for one child may leave another slouching, leaning or struggling to reach their food. That's why adjustability has become such an important consideration when choosing a high chair. The Momcozy DinerPal emerged at the top of this category during testing. Simply put, no chair we tested offered more ways to fine-tune the fit.
The MomCozy DinerPal features seven seat height settings, seven footrest positions and two tray depth adjustments. Together, those features make it easier to support correct posture as babies grow. As Dr. Aguirre explains, “The seat depth should allow the child’s knees to reach the end of the seat at a 90-degree angle and allow for some knee movement.” If the seat is too shallow, baby will likely slouch, and if it’s too deep it’ll limit baby’s ability to reach food.
Our tester Christina found that the DinerPal's extensive adjustability made it easier to achieve that supportive setup. “The footrest is adjustable and can be repositioned to suit your child's height,” she says, adding, “This is especially helpful for promoting good posture and making the chair more comfortable for longer periods.”
Adjustibility
Unlike many high chairs with fixed tray positions, the DinerPal allows parents to move the tray closer or farther away as needed. According to Brittany Brown, RD, IBCLC, proper tray placement helps babies comfortably reach food and practice self-feeding skills.
Christina found the adjustable tray quite useful. “The tray can be moved forward or backward to give baby more room as they grow,” Christina explains. “This has made it more comfortable for my baby and helped keep mealtimes mess-free.”
She also appreciated being able to adjust the chair height so baby could sit comfortably alongside the family at the table. The DinerPal successfully accommodated multiple children during testing, including a 9-month-old, a toddler and a preschooler, highlighting just how adaptable the design can be.
Ease of use and longevity
The DinerPal performed well as a high chair, but also converts into other modes as baby grows. The brand advertises five modes, but in practice it's really more like three: A high chair, a learning tower and a toddler chair. “The learning tower mode has been a great addition to our kitchen routine,” Christina, a mom of 13, says. “My toddler loves being up at counter height to help with simple tasks like stirring or washing veggies.”
At this point you might be thinking that a highly adjustable, mutli-mode high chair would be difficult to use, but even with all of its adjustment points, Christina thought it was pretty easy. Assembly was straightforward, and "switching between modes only took a few minutes, even the first time," she says.
Once a conversion or adjustment was complete, it locked in; Christina found the chair to be exceptionally stable overall, even when baby leaned forward or wiggled during meals. It’s also easy to clean: The chair has a flat, wipeable surface with few nooks and crannies to trap food debris and it comes with a machine-washable harness. Our tester especially appreciated the easy-to-remove tray. “The tray slides off smoothly with one hand, which is very convenient when holding a squirmy baby,” she says.
Christina did note that the harness buckle could be difficult to open and close, and reattaching the tray occasionally required some extra effort. While neither issue was a dealbreaker, they're trade-offs worth considering for parents who prioritize quick transitions during mealtimes.
All things considered, this impressive high chair is an excellent option for families who are looking for a seat that seamlessly adapts to their child’s ever-changing needs. As Christina says, “The height adjustability and comfortable seating make mealtime easier for both parents and children."
Dimensions: 22.1" (L) x 28" (W) x 31.3" (H) | Weight: 20.9 lbs. | Age range: 6 months to 3 years (high chair); 3+ years (chair modes) | Weight capacity: 308 lbs. | Dishwasher-safe tray: Yes | Footrest: Yes
Our product tester says:
"The Momcozy highchair has been very effective in supporting safe, comfortable and successful mealtimes. It allows my baby to sit in a nice upright position—close to a 90-degree angle—which is ideal for safe swallowing and digestion. I felt confident that my baby was well-supported and not slumped, even during longer meals."
Best high chair for small spaces
- Extra-slim footprint
- Compact self-standing fold
- 4 seat height positions
- Converts to booster seat and step stool
- Step stool setup takes a little practice
The Bump takeaway: If you're short on square footage but don't want to sacrifice functionality, opt for the Graco EveryStep Slim 6-in-1 Highchair. The Best of The Bump award-winner for best high chair for small spaces offers a surprisingly compact footprint, multiple useful conversions and easy storage without feeling stripped down.
Not every family has room for a large high chair permanently parked in the kitchen. In fact, more than 75 percent of parents that responded to our most recent survey told us it was one of their top pain points when using a high chair. If you're working with a small dining area, apartment kitchen or open-concept living space, every inch matters.
At just 17 inches wide, the Graco EveryStep Slim is one of the narrowest high chairs we tested. While the Mockingbird technically measures slightly narrower at 16.5 inches, the EveryStep emerged as the best for this category because it combines its slender design with folding functionality and six sincerely useful modes. Our tester Stormie immediately appreciated how compact it is. “It has a sleek and not-bulky design,” she says. “It doesn't take up much room.”
Multi-stage configurations
Better yet, that smaller footprint doesn't come at the expense of versatility. The EveryStep transitions from a traditional high chair to multiple booster configurations and eventually a step stool, allowing it to remain useful long after baby graduates to a regular dining chair. “All six formats that this high chair has were comfortable, easy to use and quick to set up,” Stormie shares.
The booster and step stool functions can also be used independently, making the chair especially practical for families with multiple children. “My 5-year-old loved the step stool,” Stormie adds. “I could see myself using this until maybe my oldest turns 7.” If that’s not all, there’s also a removable seat feature that allows the high chair to function as a booster seat. "I feel this would be perfect for traveling," she notes.
Ease of use and cleaning
Stormie reported that assembly took only five to seven minutes, and she found the instructions clear and easy to follow. She also appreciated the adjustable height settings, which made it simpler to customize the chair for different tables and spaces around the house. That adjustability supported more comfortable, and correct, positioning during meals as well, which Stormie noticed during testing. “My baby sat comfortably in the highchair and was smiling away,” she says.
Cleanup was equally uncomplicated. Between the dishwasher-safe tray and wipeable seat padding, Stormie found it “simple and easy to clean.” Ultimately, for parents who need a high chair that works hard without taking over their home, the EveryStep Slim delivers versatility in a surprisingly compact package.
Dimensions: 28" (L) x 17" (W) x 40" (H) | Weight: 18 lbs. | Age range: 6 months to 2 years (high chair) | Weight capacity: 40 lbs. (high chair); 60 lbs. (toddler booster) | Dishwasher-safe tray: Yes | Footrest: Yes
Our product tester says:
“It doesn’t take up much space. […] There are six different formats, and I could see myself using this until my oldest turns 7. I would definitely buy this product for myself and recommend it to other moms to put on their baby registries.”

The Bump takeaway: The iconic Z-shaped design of the Stokke Tripp Trapp, Best of The Bump award-winner for best high chair for baby-led weaning, allows babies to sit directly at the family table, encouraging participation and independent eating skills from the very start.
Baby-led weaning doesn't require a specific high chair, but certain designs make it easier for babies to participate in family meals, observe others eating and practice self-feeding skills. With that in mind, we found the Stokke Tripp Trapp performed best in this category.
Unlike traditional high chairs that position babies inches away from the table, the Tripp Trapp's distinctive Z-shaped frame allows children to pull directly up to the dining table. This feature aligns closely with guidance from Brown, a dietitian and lactation consultant, who emphasizes the importance of bringing babies into the family mealtime experience. “Where and how baby eats matters just as much as what they eat,” she explains. “Bringing a baby to the family table supports connection, modeling and responsiveness.”
One of our testers, Arielle, found this to be true of the Z-shaped design. The mom of three is currently working on baby-led weaning with her 7-month-old and was a fan of how the upright wooden seat supported her infant as he ate. “Being able to pull baby right up next to me at the table was super convenient in the process as well. I was able to be right next to baby and include him in our family meal time,” she shares.
Our second tester Danae found the detachable tray especially useful for keeping baby close at mealtime. “I like that the tray is detachable so my son is able to come right up to the table,” she tells us. “I can put the tray on and he can have his own space.” That flexibility makes it easy to balance independent eating with participation in family meals.
Positioning
The Tripp Trapp provides strong overall positioning, and Arielle found that this ergonomic wooden high chair provided exactly the right type of support. “My baby looked every comfortable and content while sitting in the chair,” she says. “I didn’t notice any gapping between the seat and my child’s back. His back went up against the chair and he was able to sit up perfectly.”
While Arielle’s 7-month-old was able to reach the footrest at times, he wasn’t always able to rest his feet flat on it due to his smaller size. However, our tester said he was still comfortable throughout the testing process. “The footrest for the seat helped my baby to stay put without wiggling all around while eating. He was secure, sitting upright and I was able to see he was being well supported with the seat,” she explains.
While younger babies may not always achieve perfectly flat foot placement on the adjustable footrest, we found this to be common across many high chairs and something that often improves as children grow—especially with a chair like the Tripp Trapp that can be used into adulthood.
Multi-stage configurations
One of the Tripp Trapp's biggest strengths is its longevity. The adjustable seat and footrest allow it to transition from infancy through childhood, and families can even purchase a newborn attachment that brings baby up to table height before they're ready for solids. That long-term value was echoed by members of The Bump community, with one parent sharing that their family's Tripp Trapp chairs were still being used decades later as extra seating for guests.
Style and ease of cleaning
Both of our testers praised the wooden high chair's looks, describing it as practical and stylish. Its minimalist Scandinavian construction, made from durable European Beech or Oak Wood (depending on the color you choose), blends naturally into most homes and feels more like furniture than baby gear. Arielle found the Z-shaped design to be aesthetically pleasing and purposeful. “I think the Z design was really great in terms of the chair being sturdy,” she says.
Of course, no chair can look good if it's perpetually a mess—but that won’t be an issue with the Tripp Trapp. Both testers praised its ease of cleaning. “It wipes very easily, and I like that the tray is detachable so I can just clean it over the sink or dump leftovers into the trash,” Danae says.
To top it all off, Arielle tells us, “Baby seemed happier and more content while in the chair than our typical chair we used previously. It felt like he was more part of family meal time by him being able to be pushed right up next to us and fitting into the table.”

When picking out a high chair, safety is obviously the top priority. According to Dina DiMaggio Walters, MD, a board-certified pediatrician and a spokesperson for the AAP, safety features like a sturdy, tip-proof base and effective straps should be your primary concern.
As the AAP notes, it’s best to use a high chair manufactured or imported after June 2019. That’s when updated CPSC safety standards took effect, including new standards for stability and restraint systems. All high chairs made after this date meet requirements for stability, have a crotch restraint and a three-point restraint system and include a warning label on how to prevent falls. If you’re buying a used high chair and you’re not sure how old it is, a label on the high chair will list the manufacturer’s date.
Positioning
The most important thing for parents to keep in mind when shopping for a high chair is positioning. This was a theme that came up repeatedly throughout our testing and expert interviews.
According to baby gear expert Kimminau, “The most important features in a high chair from a safety perspective is how supportive it is and what posture it holds baby’s body in.” Dr. Aguirre agrees. Babies should ideally sit with their hips, knees and ankles at roughly 90-degree angles, often referred to as the “90-90-90 position.” (You can read more about this position below.)
Kimminau notes that good back support is vital for both safety and enjoyment: “A slouching position can make baby not enjoy eating as much, or increase the likelihood of choking.” Both experts state that proper support helps promote safe eating, self-feeding skills and comfort at the table.
Needless to say, after hearing this advice from the experts we spoke to, we valued positioning very highly when selecting the best high chairs.
Other features to look for
Once safety and proper positioning are settled, you can put some thought into your lifestyle—aka how and when you’ll be using your high chair. To streamline your search, keep the following in mind:
- Ease of cleaning: Feeding baby is a messy process, so finding a high chair that’s straightforward to clean is of the utmost importance to many parents. As dietitian Brown notes, this is especially important for potential allergens—you’ll want to take extra care to prevent cross-contamination. “Features like removable trays and easy-to-wipe surfaces can make a big difference in these situations,” she says. Food has a remarkable ability to find every crack, strap and crevice imaginable. Look for wipe-clean surfaces, dishwasher-safe trays and harness systems (preferably made out of nonporous material like silicone) that don’t absorb stains and moisture.
- Removable tray: To make cleaning less of a chore, Brown and baby gear expert Kimminau both recommend purchasing a high chair with a removable tray. It should also be dishwasher-safe, small enough to actually fit inside your appliance and free from awkward parts that prevent you from setting it down on a kitchen counter or sink. With some chairs, removable trays also make it simpler to support baby-led weaning. This is because they can be easily slid up to the table or countertop where you and the rest of your loved ones are eating.
- Adjustability: You’ll want a high chair that grows with your child’s changing needs. A seat with different height and recline levels is essential, and an adjustable footrest will make it easier for baby to sit in the ideal 90-90-90 position. Supported feet can help children maintain better posture and stability during meals, says Dr. Aguirre. Equally important (but less obvious), it’s worth checking if the tray level and depth can be modified to create more space as your child grows.
- Size and shape: Not all high chairs are foldable, so you’ll need decent kitchen space if you choose one that stays in place the whole time. Check the size of the base area; some high chairs, like the beloved Stokke Tripp Trapp, are slimmer on top and flare out at the bottom for stability. While this often equates to sturdiness, it does take up more room.
- Longevity: Many of the best baby high chairs are pretty pricey, so you’ll want to get the most out of the upfront investment. Whether baby’s high chair is wooden or plastic, it should be built to last. If you’re looking for one chair to follow your child through toddlerhood and beyond, many top-rated high chairs have convertible, multifunctional designs that can be used for many years. Some can even transition into chairs for adults.
Most babies are able to start using a high chair around the 6-month mark, but readiness depends more on developmental milestones than a specific age. “Babies can sit in a high chair once they have good head control and can sit with little support, which is generally around 6 months and also coincides with the age we are introducing solid foods,” explains Walters.
This aligns with guidance from the CDC, which recommends waiting until babies can hold their head up steadily and sit with minimal support before introducing solid foods. Sitting upright limits risks of choking, optimizes digestion and improves airway alignment.
Some high chairs can be used before babies are ready for solid foods if they have newborn recline features or infant attachments. While these configurations aren’t intended for feeding solids, they can allow babies to join family meals and begin becoming familiar with mealtime routines, which comes with plenty of social benefits for little ones.
In fact, Brown encourages families to start involving babies in family meals even before they begin eating. “Bring baby to the table as soon as they can sit with support, even if they’re not eating yet,” the dietitian says. “It helps them get comfortable with the environment, the routine and learn that mealtime is a shared experience.”
Once you purchase a high chair, it’s important to use it safely. According to Corri Miller-Hobbs, RN, BSN, CPST, Safe Kids Virginia program coordinator at Children’s Hospital of Richmond at Virginia Commonwealth University, falls from high chairs remain one of the most common high-chair-related injuries, which is why experts stress following both manufacturer instructions and basic safety guidelines.
The AAP and our experts recommend keeping the following tips in mind:
- Check stability: Make sure the high chair is placed on a flat, stable surface and has no chance of tipping. Position it far enough from surfaces on tables, counters and walls that baby could use their feet to push off. Miller-Hobbs reminds parents to keep the surrounding area clear of tablecloths, hot foods and beverages, and other items little hands might grab. Moreover, don’t allow older siblings to climb on or play with the chair.
- Maintain supervision: Supervision is paramount when your child is in the high chair. “Always assist children getting into and out of high chairs to avoid falls, and never allow children to stand in or play on the high chair,” says Miller-Hobbs. Dr. DiMaggio Walters adds that parents should never leave a child unattended or within reach of potentially dangerous items.
- Use the harness and safety straps: Use the high chair’s harness every single time—even if it’s for quick meals or snacks. “It’s vital that caregivers follow the instruction manual regarding size, mode of use and internal restraint use,” Miller-Hobbs says. Beyond simply choosing a high chair with a five-point harness, parents should regularly inspect straps for wear, make sure they’re properly attached and confirm the harness fits snugly according to manufacturer guidelines. Avoid bulky clothing that can interfere with achieving a secure fit.
- Check for recency and proper assembly: Experts recommend using a high chair manufactured after June 19, 2019, when updated federal safety standards took effect. Before each use, check that all parts are intact and functioning properly. If your high chair converts between different modes, such as infant and toddler configurations, be sure you’ve made all required assembly adjustments before use.
- Check locking mechanisms and moving parts: When using a folding or convertible high chair, ensure all locking mechanisms are fully engaged before placing your child in the seat. Carefully read the instruction manual to identify potential pinch points or finger-trap hazards around moving parts.
- Buy from reputable sources: If purchasing secondhand, obtain the chair from a trusted source whenever possible. Inspect it carefully for missing or broken parts, verify it hasn’t been recalled and contact the manufacturer if you’re unsure whether replacement parts are available. Miller-Hobbs also recommends avoiding third-party sellers whose products may not meet current US safety standards.
You may have heard feeding therapists and pediatric experts talk about the “90-90-90 rule” when discussing high chairs. Simply put, it refers to positioning your child so that their hips, knees and ankles are each bent at roughly 90-degree angles while they’re eating. According to Dr. Aguirre, ideal eating posture includes “90-degree flexion at the hips, knees and ankles with feet flat.” She adds that a child should also have an upright back, a neutral spine and be able to hold their head up independently.
One of the biggest contributing factors to achieving 90-90-90 alignment is foot support. “When the feet are unsupported, the child must engage more musculature to sustain an upright trunk,” Aguirre explains. “[This] exerts more energy and makes it more challenging to focus their attention on eating and chewing safely.” Brown agrees: "One of the most overlooked supports for reflux is proper positioning at meals using a footrest,” she says. “When baby’s feet are supported, it stabilizes their core and allows the abdominal muscles to relax.”
The goal of this isn’t to achieve perfect posture at every meal. Rather, the 90-90-90 rule serves as a helpful guideline for creating a supportive seating position that allows babies and toddlers to focus on eating, chewing and self-feeding.
Similarly, not every high chair will provide an exact 90-90-90 position for every child, especially as babies grow. That said, there are several signs that your child’s seating setup may need adjustment. These may include:
- Slouching or sliding down in the seat
- Leaning consistently to one side
- Dangling feet without support
- Head tilting or dropping forward
- Excessive fidgeting or restlessness during meals
- Difficulty reaching food comfortably on the tray
If you notice these issues, start with simple adjustments. Aguirre recommends making sure the seat is fully upright, the harness is properly secured and the footrest is adjusted so your child’s feet can rest comfortably. She also notes that the tray should sit around elbow height, allowing children to practice self-feeding without having to lean forward excessively to reach their food.
For younger babies who seem to have extra room in the seat, a small towel placed behind the back may help improve positioning. However, experts caution that positioning support should not interfere with the harness system. If opting for this method, Miller-Hobbs recommends consulting the manufacturer’s guidance before adding towels, blankets or other supports to a high chair.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs my child isn't well-supported in their high chair?
According to Dr. Aguirre, “The child should be able to hold their head up independently without head dropping back, forward or sideways. Slouching, leaning, dangling feet and increased fussiness or excessive moving in the highchair can all be indicators of a poor fit. Holding food in [the] mouth, spitting food out and gagging can all be signs of poor high chair positioning, as well.”
If baby can't reach the footrest yet, what can I do?
Dr. Aguirre recommends adjusting the footrest whenever possible. If your child still can't reach it, “Parents can also wrap an elastic resistance band around the legs of the highchair so the child can rest [their] feet against the band. Avoid using soft, compliant materials when elevating the footrest as this does not provide optimal foot positioning and a steady base of support for the child,” she explains. If you're considering modifying a high chair, Miller-Hobbs, a CPST and pediatric nurse, recommends consulting the manufacturer first to ensure any additions are compatible with the product's safety requirements.
Is it safe to put a towel behind baby in a high chair?
It depends. Dr. Aguirre says a small rolled towel can help improve positioning if a chair is slightly too large, provided it doesn't interfere with the harness or airway. “The towel should also remain below the child’s shoulder blades to avoid any excess pressure or obstruction over the neck and airway for swallowing. Lastly, the towel should not be excessively bulky or push the child into forward trunk flexion as this results in poor posture for swallowing and digestion,” she explains.
Miller-Hobbs recommends consulting the manufacturer before adding towels, blankets or other positioning aids, as not all products are designed to be used with modifications. If a large amount of padding is needed to achieve a good fit, the chair may simply be too large for baby.
Should babies eat in a reclined high chair?
No. Experts recommend babies sit as upright as possible when eating solids. “Being upright while eating solids limits risks of choking, optimizes digestion and improves airway alignment,” says Dr. Aguirre. If baby requires significant recline to remain comfortable or maintain head control, they may not yet be developmentally ready for solids.
Does every high chair need a footrest?
Not necessarily. While an adjustable footrest can make it easier to achieve ideal positioning, a high chair can still be safe and functional without one. Parents should simply understand the trade-offs. A chair with adjustable foot support may make it easier to create a comfortable feeding position, especially as babies grow and develop their self-feeding skills.
