However, when you know what you’re looking for, the possibilities become clearer. Check out below some of the best adjustable high chair options available.
Best Adjustable High Chair FAQ’s
What does it mean an adjustable high chair?
These are also known as booster chairs. These chairs don’t take up extra space.
Strap a booster feeding chair onto one of your existing dining chairs. These chairs typically come with removable lap trays so that when your child is ready, he can pull right up to the family table. These adjustable chairs are also sometimes called space-saving high chairs.
Why is an adjustable high chair important?
- Of course, the purpose of the booster seat is to transition them from a highchair to eating at the table.
- Having a high chair with an adjustable height is also beneficial for your baby’s growth and transition into toddlerhood.
- Adjustable can also mean having an adjustable footstool. Dangling feet while eating is no good for your baby’s trunk and core support and stability. Not having proper foot support can cause your baby to be inattentive and less focused at mealtimes.
What are other features you should look for in an adjustable high chair?
- Safety harness. This is essential to keep your baby safe from slipping or falling out of the chair by strapping your baby into the chair.
- Allows baby to sit at 90 degrees. The golden rule is 90-90-90. This means a 90-degree angle at the hips, a 90-degree angle at the knees, and a 90-degree curve at the ankle with feet flat.
- Easy to clean. As a fellow mom, I know that you don’t want a high chair with a lot of fabric. To purchase an easy-to-clean high chair, find one that has wood, plastic, or metal frame.
- The removable tray is at the level of the baby’s elbows. Having your baby’s tray at the height of their elbows allows for a good range of motion when eating.
How to know your baby is sitting in the proper position?
- They should be able to hold their head upright and steady without tiring.
- Their torso should be positioned upright and airway unrestricted. This means their bum and pelvis are placed directly under their hips (at a 90-degree angle).
- Their shoulders are angled just slightly in front of the hips. They can also lean forward if wanted and turn slightly to the left or the right without restriction.
- Their arms are freely movable and not restricted in any way.
- Feet are supported with a footrest appropriate for their height, with their ankles also resting at 90 degrees under their knees!
