What to look for When Buying a High Chair
It’s challenging to determine what’s truly important when purchasing a high chair, especially since there’s a lot of marketing and numerous opinions from other parents, all claiming their high chair is the best. Can we be honest with ourselves…Do we really need our high chair to turn into a kids’ table?
As a mom of three here are the things I have found are most important when looking for a high chair.
- Easy to Clean – Because you will hate one that is not!
- Ergonomic Position – Adjustable Footrest and Ergonomic seating
- Safety – 5-point harness and no recalls, to name a few!
- Ease of Use – Do you need tools to adjust, how many extra parts do you have to keep track of, etc.
- Lifestyle – Small House, portable, use from birth, tall or standard table, etc.
Best Overall High Chair – Mockingbird High Chair
This truly is the best overall high chair on the market, and they just added new colors, which was the one thing that was missing for me when I made my full review of this high chair. This high chair is even better than the Stokke Tripp Trapp for the baby stage, and I love how close the tray comes to the baby, the buckle holders, how easy it is to clean, the easy adjustments, and more. Read my full review of the Mockingbird High Chair and see below for a code to save.

Best Luxury High Chair – Stokke Tripp Trapp
I had the Bugaboo Giraffe as the best luxury high chair in the video, but recently it has been removed from market in the US and recalled in other countries. As a result I have moved up the beloved Stokke Tripp Trapp on this list. This high chair has truly stood the test of time and is my favorite of all the high chairs in this list for the toddler years. I actually own two of them for my older girls. However, in the baby stage it is not my favorite. The straps and tray are hard to clean, the buckle were recently improved but on older versions they are very difficult, the adjustments are archaic and require tools and a lot of muscle and it quite frankly needs an update. That said this high chair does give a good ergonomic position for baby, has a newborn set and can be used for years beyond the baby years.
Price: $219-$400+ depending on color, if you want the baby set, tray, etc.
Age: 0 months + 300 lbs
Adjustable Footrest: Yes
Add-ons: Newborn Set, Baby Set, cushions, and more!
Pros:
- Amazing for toddlers
- Lots of Design options to match any home
- Use from birth with Newborn set
Cons:
- Hard to Adjust
- Not the easiest to clean
- Not Portable
Best Folding High Chair – Inglesina My Time
The My Time high chair by Inglesina has been one of my picks for families who want something that looks beautiful in their home but can fold and store between meals. It fully reclines—so you can actually use it from day one, even while bottle feeding a newborn if you want. It has multiple height positions, a super plush seat that’s easy to wipe down, and a second tray that pops off with one hand and is easy to wash.
Price: $299 Save 20% with link and code STROLLERMOM15
Age: Birth-36 months
Adjustable Footrest: No
Add Ons: None
Pros:
- Second washable tray
- Can be counter or table height
- Non-Toxic
Cons:
- I wish it has wheels
- Large when not folded
- Straps are hard to clean
Best Budget & Folding High Chair – Graco Slim Snacker
I am giving you two options on folding high chairs because it is hard to beat the price point of the Graco Slim Snacker and how easy it is to fold. I used this at a friend’s cabin, and while it is not the easiest to clean, it is incredibly easy to fold and store. I also really like the storage basket underneath. The recline is nice for bottle feedings or having baby at table during meals starting at around 3 months.
Price: $99
Age: 3-36 months
Adjustable Footrest: No
Add Ons: None
Pros:
- Affordable
- Foldable
- Storage
Cons:
- Kind of hard to clean
- Footrest is not adjustable
Best Budget High Chair – Graco Duo Diner
TBD
Price: $161
Age: 3 Months – 60 lbs
Adjustable Footrest: Yes
Add Ons: None
Pros:
Cons:
- Big
- Not super easy to clean
Best Travel High Chair – Inglesina Fast Table Chair
If you travel a lot or are tight on space, the Inglesina Fast Table Chair is a total game-changer. I’ve taken this thing to restaurants, grandma’s house, even on vacation and this is even my second one because I left my first at Costco…It clamps securely onto most tables in minutes (it does take a bit of time to get it just right), folds flat for travel and stores in the attached storage bag, and gives your baby a proper seat at the table. Plus, the fabric wipes down surprisingly well.
Price: $79
Age: 6 months – 37 lbs
Adjustable Footrest: No
Add Ons: Tray
Pros:
- Compact
- Portable
- Non-Toxic
Cons:
- Takes a while to secure
- Tray is not included
- No footrest
What about the MomCozy Dinerpal High Chair?
I did not learn about the Momcozy Dinerpal high chair until after this video was released, but I quickly started receiving a lot of questions about it. Then Momcozy asked to send me one to try out, and I did. I love the quality of it, but it is heavy. While it is nice that it can turn into a learning tower, it is not super practical. Overall, I love how easy it is to adjust the footrest and how easy the tray is to clean, but I did find the straps and seat were harder to clean and tend to recommend the Mockingbird instead. I did really like it as a toddler chair and do think it could be a good option for some families.
Price: $299 Use link and code EMCHAIR to save!
Age: 6 months to 308 lbs
Adjustable Footrest: Yes
Add Ons: Cushion
Pros:
- Grows with baby
- Sturdy & has a nice ascetic
- Easy Adjustable Footrest
Cons:
- Heavy
- Just okay to clean
- Not practical as a learning tower
5 High Chairs I don’t love
Ikea Antilope
While very affordable, it requires accessories to make it ergonomic, and the tray is not easy to remove. Many of my friends have this high chair, and the added accessories, like the footrest, fall off regularly.
Lalo High Chair
The tray is far from the baby and lacks an adjustable footrest.
Ergobaby Evolve
Large Footprint and is not user-friendly.
Stokke Clikk
Big footprint and not a lot of adjustability.
Baby Trend Sit Right
Poor quality and hard to clean.
Final Thoughts
There are so many different high chairs to choose from, it can feel very overwhelming, and there are some like the Uppababy Ciro, Skip Hop, Hakka Chair, and others that I do like, but just did not make my top…or bottom list. If you have any questions about any high chairs, please follow and DM on Instagram or you can leave a comment on this YouTube video. I really do hope this post helped you decide.
