Best highchairs

It’s hard to ignore the value for money this high chair offers, and the number of parents who give it rave reviews. Sold without the tray, it’s really affordable, with the tray only adding a couple more pounds. It has a safety strap, is easy to build with just the legs being pushed into the slots, and is easy to clean, so it’s hard to beat this high chair for the price.

You can have your baby right up to the table if you want, without the tray, or with it on if that’s easier (tray sold separately). There are also added extras like cushions, if you want to create a little more comfort or your younger baby needs a bit more support. It’s even stackable if one high chair isn't enough because you have twins or more.


BabyCentre parents say

“Really well priced, easy to assemble, does what you need it to, tidies away nicely, open for tray or no tray, extendable straps, insert available. I don't get why anyone would spend more when it's so perfect and functional!”

“Cheap as chips, super easy to keep clean – you can dump it in the bath and hose it down if needs be – with no awkward cushions to get breakfast cereal welded to. There's a good reason why most cafes and restaurants use these!”

“The legs also come off easily, so you can put it in the car if you need to.”

A design classic, the Tripp Trapp has been favoured by parents since its launch in 1972. It’s true to its marketing slogan ‘the chair that grows with the child’, as the footrest and seat move up and down so you can adjust it to fit. The high chair also fits right next to the table so that your baby, toddler or older child can join in when you eat.

As well as natural and white, the Tripp Trapp also comes in other colours to suit your home – making it a stylish item you can use for years to come. The Scandi design is unlikely to date and will create a statement piece in your home.

“The Stokke Tripp Trapp lasts for more than 12 years! That makes it brilliant value for money – especially as I bought mine secondhand! It’s so easy to clean, and the colours are lovely. It’s just so practical and my baby is comfy too.”

“It’s sturdy, easy to clean, looks great and is good quality. Pricey, but definitely worth it.”

“If you want something that looks nice and takes up less room, this chair is great. We have one for each child as it turns into a seat that is really stable for things like playdough and baking.”

You want a high chair, but one that folds. You need one that is portable, easy to clean and lasts a little longer than the baby stage. Plus, you don’t want to spend much. This highchair may be just what you’re looking for.

“It’s easy to clean and adjustable to two sizes.”

“It’s very easy to clean and I bought a padded seat for £8 from Amazon.”

“The Bebe has great reviews and is cheap!”

BabyCentre parents are big fans of this Cosatto high chair. It comes in a variety of designs, includingMister Fox (pictured), Fika Forest, Unicorn Land and Strictly Avocados. Being suitable from birth is a real bonus when you need to eat but don't want to leave your baby unattended; the reclined position allows for that. But as your baby grows, it offers the option to sit them up so they’re ready for weaning.

The comfy cushion means that, no matter your baby’s age, they’ll be happy to lie or sit in this high chair. The other bonus of this chair is that it also becomes a junior seat for your growing child; it can be adjusted to six heights, so it might be worth investing.


BabyCentre parents say

“We love it. My little boy is on the small side and we used it from when he was tiny. It reclines and has a newborn insert, giving good support. The top of the tray comes off for easy cleaning, and folding is really easy too. My little boy will be six months soon, so we haven’t started weaning yet, but he loves sitting in it already.”

“It has a reclining back for the times my son falls asleep, and has a detachable tray, which is perfect for washing. It’s super light and folds up quite slim to fit in a little cupboard.”

Available in a range of designs, the Joie Mimzy offers a lot for a weaning baby. You can recline the seat, have it upright, change the seat height into seven different positions, and it even has a cup holder. BabyCentre parents rave about the Mimzy – as well as its sister seat the Snacker.

Suitable from 6 months, it’s foldable if you’re tight on space. And there’s a footrest for your baby so they feel a little more secure, especially when they start to grow. The tray has a one-handed release and is even dishwasher safe for messy weaning!


BabyCentre parents say

“It’s comfy, folds up small, has five height positions, three recline positions, a footrest recline, and different height points for the footrest too. It’s washable, wipeable and the seat cover is waterproof. It also comes with a washable insert, a five-point harness for safety, which can be adjusted as baby grows, and it has wheels so it's easy to move about. We love it! It comes with different snack trays, which click on and off the main tray. And it lasts! It’s very good value for money.”
