The 8 Best High Chairs of 2019

This good-looking high chair covers every basic need for your child. Designed to convert from a traditional high chair to toddler chair, and eventually to a normal dining room chair, the Abiie Beyond Wooden High Chair is constructed from attractive microbial-repellent wood and can be adjusted in twenty seconds or less. Even better, the chair has been designed so that it is easy to clean. Stain resistant cushions that keep your baby comfortable and secure are waterproof and can be cleaned with a single damp cloth. And the clear plastic tray is dishwasher safe.

For parents worried about security, the Abiie Beyond Wooden High Chair has a dual-restraint system that can be adjusted from a 5-point harness to a 3-point harness. The high chair has been constructed so that does not tip over or move from its position; for this reason, the chair is a favorite among parents with highly active children, and occupational therapists treating kids with special needs.

Overall, despite a steeper price point, the Abiie Beyond Wooden High Chair is well worth the money.

Along with being one of the most inexpensive high chairs on the market, the Ikea Antilop is also one of the highest rated. Weighing just 7.9 pounds, the Antilop is easy to assemble, and even easier to move. Additionally, its clean, simple white lines are an attractive addition to any dining area; even better, they’re easy to clean. If your baby spends a lot of time at grandma and grandpas, this is a smart choice for its budget-friendly cost. One thing to note, the tray is not removable so you'll need to wipe down your baby's mess instead of rinsing it off in the sink.

The high chair can accommodate children up to 33 pounds or around 3-years-old. For when they are just starting to eat, you can add a support pillow (sold separately) that will help keep them more steady in the chair.

Designed to have all of the features of a standard sized high chair, the Fisher-Price SpaceSaver High Chair can be securely attached to a kitchen or dining chair to save room in your home. The tray and seat lining are machine washable, and the back is convertible from a reclining position for newborns to a booster seat for toddlers. It is also a sturdy buy that grows with the child for those that are concerned about when to use a high chair for a baby.

Reviewers have commented that this is easy to clean with one person saying this is a great option for twins since it takes up such little space. Plus, it's easy to detach and throw in the car if you need to use this on the go.

There are many options for portable high chairs, many of which consist of fabric rigged with harnesses that drape over a regular chair. The nice thing about the Summer Infant Pop and Sit Portable Highchair is that it can be used in any situation, whether you are visiting family, on vacation, or taking your baby to an outdoor picnic.

Designed so that it can be folded up and stored in an over-the-shoulder bag, the Summer Infant Pop and Sit Portable Highchair features a three-point harness, a BPA-free hard plastic tray, and machine washable fabric. It also accommodates children up to 40 pounds.

Another great option for saving space is a hook-on high chair, which can be attached directly to your table. Designed in Italy, the Caddy Hook On is lightweight and easy to clean. Constructed of nylon fabric and rubberized hippo grips that won’t pinch fingers or mark furniture, the Caddy Hook On fits on most standardized tables.

Designed to be used every day, the Caddy Hook On is great for traveling, a breeze to assemble, and convenient to move.

It makes sense that if you are buying a pricey piece of furniture, you want it to last for more than just your baby’s first year of life. For that, the Evenflo Convertible High Chair is ideal. Designed so that it starts as a standalone high chair, and can be converted to a chair that sits on the floor with an accompanying table, the Evenflo Convertible will give your growing child a sense of independence. When the chair acts as a standalone chair it can hold up to 50 pounds.

An underrated feature of a high chair is its ability to be easily moved, from the kitchen table to a countertop so that you can cook or clean while feeding your baby. The OXO Tot Seedling High Chair comes with wheels, which makes it easy to move. Other features include tool-less assemblage, machine-washable fabric that is easy to remove, and three reclining positions to accommodate your child as he or she grows.

The chair also has five different levels that you can set it at—without tools—making it easy to move from the kitchen counter to the dining room table without a big gap of space. And another neat feature most don't think about is that when you take the tray off, it will lie flat on a surface so any spills won't leak over.

First launched in 1972, the Stokke Tripp Trapp is a classic designed to grow with your child from infancy to adulthood. Constructed out of mold-resistant wood, the chair can be pulled up to any table, or used as a standalone high chair. Its only downside is its relatively high price point—which only increases as you add on features such as the infant seat and the detachable tray, which are both necessary if you plan on using the high chair for a baby.

Durable and long-lasting, this chair is worth the splurge.
