Important information when buying a high chair
Adjustability or easy transport?
You adjust the Alpha+ by moving its wooden boards. The Clikk has removable legs for transport. With the Tripp Trapp, you can also adjust the depth of the boards; Baby Set² has specific assembly requirements. The two wooden chairs do not fold away after each meal. Choose the method you will actually want to use at home.
When can your baby use a high chair?
Follow the sitting requirements of the model and selected setup. A regular high chair requires independent sitting; an age label alone is not enough. An adjustable backrest or newborn insert has its own requirements and does not replace a suitable eating position. Discuss any doubts with your child health clinic.
What should you try before buying?
In the store, check that the chair is stable and does not tip easily. Check that the tray is secure, the harness fits and any folding mechanism is protected against accidental folding. Position the chair so your child cannot push off against a table or wall. Never leave your child alone in the chair.
Which parts are included?
A chair on its own is not always a complete baby seating setup. For the Tripp Trapp, you buy Baby Set² and the additional Harness² separately; the extended gliders are included with Baby Set². A tray is also sold separately. Check the harness, safety bar and insert for each setup you choose. When buying secondhand, check for missing parts and current recall information.
Best high chairs: which suits your family?
If you want a wooden chair with adjustable seat and footrest boards, the Alpha+ offers that design. If you want a chair that is easy to take apart, look at the Clikk. If you also want to adjust the seat depth, the Tripp Trapp may suit you. For all three, first check the correct seating setup and which parts you need separately.
