High Chairs
A high chair is where your baby learns to eat with the family, drop spoons on purpose, and eventually pull up to the dinner table as a real participant. Our high chair collection brings together the seats parents research hardest: convertible wooden chairs that grow from six months through adulthood, reclining multi-stage models for newborn-friendly feeding, and modern designs that wipe clean in seconds. Whether you're starting solids or upgrading from a clip-on travel seat, this is the category where everyday parenting logistics meet good design.
What Matters Most in a High Chair
- Cleanability: Smooth seat shells, dishwasher-safe tray inserts, and minimal fabric crevices. Puree and yogurt find every seam, so fewer joints means faster cleanup.
- Adjustability: Multiple height positions let baby join you at a counter, a dining table, or a low coffee table. Adjustable footrests matter more than parents expect, supported feet help with posture and chewing.
- Recline and newborn use: If you want to use the chair before six months for bottle feeding or family proximity, look for a deep recline and an infant insert.
- Growth stages: Convertible wooden chairs (think Stokke Tripp Trapp) move from baby seat to toddler chair to adult-capable seating with a 200+ lb capacity.
- Footprint: Apartment kitchens need a slim base or a folding frame. Larger homes can accommodate a fixed pedestal or wooden chair that stays put.
- Safety certifications: JPMA certification, a five-point harness for younger babies, and GREENGUARD Gold low-emissions certification on materials that sit close to your child.
Brands We Carry and Who They Suit
- Stokke: The Tripp Trapp is the reference point for convertible wooden chairs. Best for families who want one chair from six months through adulthood, with the Newborn Set and Baby Set sold as stage add-ons.
- Cybex: The LEMO 2 and 3-in-1 high chair suit design-led homes that want a modern silhouette with reclining newborn use and a removable tray.
- Peg Perego: Italian-made high chairs with deep reclines, height adjustment, and padded seats. A good pick if you want to start using the chair from birth for feeding proximity.
- Chicco: Folding and travel-ready high chairs that compress for storage or grandparent houses.
If you're building out a full feeding setup, pair your high chair with silicone placemats, an easy-clean splat mat, and a couple of replacement tray inserts so one is always clean. Parents shopping a full nursery refresh often cross-shop our nursery storage, bath collection, and playards at the same time. Our gear specialists are available by phone, chat, or email if you want help comparing a Tripp Trapp to a LEMO, or sizing a chair to your dining table height.
