Lunch with your baby: 5 popular highchairs for feeding

The Polish company Caretero was founded relatively recently — in 2009, but its name has already become widely known in many European countries. Products manufactured under the brand name can boast of fairly high quality at relatively low prices.

The Caretero Pop baby highchair is designed for children aged 6 months to 3-4 years. A removable cover made of oilcloth is put on its soft seat, which greatly simplifies the task of cleaning the chair from food particles that inevitably fall from a spoon in the hands of a small child. The tabletop of the model is double, and it is possible to remove and wash under the tap only its upper part. By the way, you can get rid of the countertop altogether in order to move the chair to the common dining table. Under the seat there is a hanging basket for storing toys or items necessary for feeding. The highchair is compact and lightweight, and its convenient folding/unfolding mechanism will please the owners of small kitchens — it will not be difficult to install or remove Caretero Pop in place.

So that little fidgets do not fall out of their dining place, while one of the parents turns away to heat up food, reliable 5-point seat belts are provided in conjunction with a plastic limiter between the legs. There is no seat height adjustment as such. But due to the removable legs, it is possible to choose one of two positions in height. The model does not have wheels; instead, it relies on anti-slip pads to avoid accidental slipping of the chair on the floor.

According to reviews from the owners of the model, the lack of backrest height adjustment delivers the greatest discomfort. This is inconvenient, first of all, for those whose children have a habit of falling asleep at the table. Also among the shortcomings is the lack of attachment points for the tray. However, due to the availability of the high chair, it is still possible to close one's eyes to these nuances — it is practically impossible to find a better option among low-cost solutions.

Products under the Geoby brand are manufactured at the facilities of the Goodbaby Group, a large transnational corporation located in China. Despite the stereotypes about the dubious reliability of products manufactured in the Middle Kingdom (by the way, outdated), the company has been tirelessly pleasing consumers with a wide range of high-quality children's products for many years.

Geoby Y801 is a high chair designed for use by children from 6 months to 3 years. The removable plastic table in the equipment of the model is equipped with sides, and the transparent overlay on it has special recesses in which you can fix plastic dishes so that the baby does not turn the contents out of it. A set of dishes is an integral part of the highchair package, which can be added to the list of additional bonuses for customers.

On the legs of the chair there are small wheels, thanks to which it easily moves around the perimeter of the home. At the time of feeding, they can be fixed in place by means of special brakes. But the main highlight of Geoby Y801 is that in a couple of simple movements the chair turns into a rocking chair. To do this, just turn the wheels around its axis so that they are at the top. Voila — and the rocking chair is ready to use.

The seat height of the child is adjustable in 6 different positions, but the backrest, although it is fixed in two positions, has a small angle of inclination, so the child in the chair can only be in a sitting position. The footrest in Geoby Y801 is also adjustable — on two fronts. The seat is ergonomically designed and equipped with five-point seat belts. To keep the oilcloth upholstery of the chair clean, it is enough to periodically wipe it with a damp cloth. But if you need a more serious cleaning, it can be easily removed.

One of the main criteria for young parents when choosing children's products is safety. Faithful conditions for the baby are created in the CAM Campione highchair — a folding model for children aged from six months to 3 years.

Thanks to the conveniently implemented possibility of adjusting the height of the seat in 6 positions, the backrest inclination in 4 positions and the height of the footrest in 3 levels, the chair easily turns into a chaise longue. As a result, it becomes possible to use it from the first months of a baby's life.

In the assets of the chair, there are 3 tables at once: a removable top tray and a tabletop with sides, and under them — a small table for games, which simultaneously protects the child from falling out of the seat. Adds confidence that the child will not slip down, non-removable partition between the legs. In addition, the model is armed with five-point seat belts, and the design of the chair itself has no sharp edges, so the manufacturer has more than taken care of the safety of the kids.

When unfolded, the chair takes up quite a lot of space due to the widely spaced legs. However, after each feeding, it can be folded without unnecessary gestures using a special handle. She, in turn, is on the basket for toys and accessories under the seat of the chair.

On the rear legs of CAM Campione there are two wheels with locks, designed to provide convenience when moving the chair around the apartment. To be able to use them, you will need to raise the front legs, which, according to user reviews, is not always convenient. In addition, due to the presence of a non-removable table and a partition between the legs, a grown child will not be able to climb into the chair on his own. However, these disadvantages are not so significant as to have a negative impact on the opinion of the chair when choosing it, since the model has much more strengths.

The highchair from the eminent Italian manufacturer Peg Perego belongs to the category of universal models that are equally well suited for home use and for traveling with a child.

The secret of the stool's versatility lies in the advantageous combination of compact dimensions and low weight. The developed functionality of the model complements the overall picture. So, it has 5 backrest tilt positions and 3 footrest height levels, so it can be used by children from 3 months of age as a deck chair, and after the child reaches 6 months — as a full-fledged high chair. An older child in the Peg Perego Prima Papa Zero3 can be seated at a common dining table thanks to a removable table and a 7-position seat height adjustment. Almost all the details of the chair are easily adjusted to the comfort of the baby sitting in it.

The material of the soft cover over the seat is eco-leather. There are no difficulties in maintaining cleanliness with it — an ordinary wet wipe is quite capable of removing dirt from the chair. The top with sides has an additional tray with a recess for a cup or bottle, also designed to simplify the care of the highchair — after eating, the tray can be removed and washed under running water or even in a dishwasher.

Concerns about the safety of the baby were divided among themselves by 5-point seat belts and a plastic anatomical limiter between the legs. The last element is part of the seat frame, so it will not be possible to remove it, which can become an obstacle for the child when trying to climb onto the chair on his own. In fact, this is the only minus of the model, which is why it is definitely not worth focus on it.

Chicco products do not need additional advertising. The abundance of the product range of the Italian brand includes almost everything that a baby may need from birth — from pacifiers for the smallest to clothes, furniture or transport for older children.

The Polly Progres 5 model is a multifunctional "fighter" of the highchair squad, which adapts to the child from the first days of his life. It can be used as a chaise lounge for newborns, starting from the age of six months — as a high chair (with a tabletop or by placing the child at a common table), and later — as a booster chair, which is installed on most standard chairs. An additional accessory to the model, which is not included in the standard package, is a soft arch with toys to entertain the baby while in the high chair.

The Chicco Polly Progres 5 is equipped with five-point seat belts and a plastic limiter between the baby's legs attached to the table (removed with it). 4 wheels with brakes assist in moving the chair around the apartment. Those who plan to take the model with them on trips should know that when folded, the chair takes up little space, and a special handle is provided for carrying it. But this model cannot be called light — its weight is more than 11.5 kg.

The chair is flexibly adjustable in many positions up to fully recumbent. The seat height has 8 installation levels, the footrest is adjustable in three positions, the backrest is adjustable in four, and the tabletop is also fixed in four positions. The latter has an additional tray with recesses for cutlery. Thus, the highchair has all the parameters to make any child feel comfortable in it. And comfort, as you know, is above all, even if you have to pay more for a high chair than usual in comparison with "classmates".
