Product Information

Adjusting the high chair From trays to seat heights, our parents use all the high chair's settings to get a real feel for how smooth, or not, it is to adjust the high chair. Footrest tests We apply a weight to the footrest, to replicate a toddler climbing on it, or using it to stand up when in the high chair. We've seen some fail at 10kg, which is around the weight of a one-year-old. I focused on the necessities. ANTILOP is optimised to be strong and easy to manufacture. The fact that we use plastic and steel, and very little of it, enabled the low price", says John. Pros: Lightweight, easily transportable (some can fit in a changing bag), some can be used instead of a standard high chair at home. We've tested this model and it passed all our safety tests. It's possible to push over most high chairs, and manufacturers do say that children should not be left in a high chair unattended as it's unsafe. However, we know this is not always practical when you've got young children and you're trying to prepare dinner and get things done.

Our testing is based on real-life use, so you can ignore the marketing blurb and find out what it's like to use a high chair on a day-to-day basis. Will the one you choose be the toast of breakfast, or a kitchen nightmare? The score we give each high chair is made up of a combination of the elements of our tough tests, ignoring price, and is broken down as follows: Let's face it, weaning a baby is a messy task, regardless of whether you opt for purées and baby rice, or take the baby-led weaning route. You'll be surprised where raisins can end up and how far a baby can spit blueberry purée. There's only so much cleaning a baby wipe can do. Harness – most high chairs have a five-point harness, but some have a three-point one (so it fits around the waist and between the legs, but has no shoulder straps). You'll likely see a solid crotch bar (also known as a pommel) to help prevent your baby from slipping forward out of the chair. Hence dynamic secondary supports such as harnesses are valuable aids, providing a certain degree of elasticity, thus assisting the torso to return to a neutral position.

Make sure the high chair has a working harness that's not frayed – ideally a five-point harness with over-the-shoulder straps. Tray Retaining Straps – If you are concerned that the child might be able to lift the tray off themselves and hurt themselves or those around them then we offer tray securing straps that can only be opened by someone not sitting in the chair. Positioning the head correctly is vital, but weak trunk muscles could mean that an individual trying to reach, for example to fulfil normal daily activities, might not be able to return to a neutral balanced position.

Pros: Cheaper than other types, fold-flat design makes them easy to store, plastic mould is a breeze to clean. IKEA products are normally developed through collaboration between a designer and an engineer – the designer does sketches and the engineer makes constructional drawings. But with ANTILOP, John went straight to creating a computer model. To help you decide, we give each high chair a total test score, so you can easily see which are the best and worse and directly compare models with each other. To uncover the best high chairs for your budget, we pay attention to the features that matter the most. Every high chair goes through the same tests in our lab, so you can directly compare their strengths and weaknesses.Tray – our tests found that the bigger the tray, the better. Some trays include a sippy cup holder, while others come with removable tray inserts – making cleaning up much easier. A tray that's adjustable and detachable is a useful feature to look out for, as it will allow your baby plenty of extra space in the high chair as he or she grows. The seat Getting a wriggly baby or a feisty toddler into the high chair seat is no mean feat, but that's exactly what our parents do. Is there enough space or are the gaps too narrow? How easy is it to clean? Look over the seat pads or cushion. Stains or fading patterns are fine, but look out for holes where a nimble-fingered baby might pull out foam, as it can be a choking hazard. Stains Will your high chair end up tinged orange with Bolognese, or will it sparkle like new after you've cleaned it? Our stain assessment reveals the easiest high chairs to keep clean. Should I buy it?

Cleaning With cloths and brushes at the ready, our experts wipe and scrub Bolognese sauce and banana purée from the covers, trays and harnesses to see which ones are easy to clean. We pay particular attention to those hard to reach places where food can get trapped, such as seams and tray inserts. Harnesses A key safety feature, but there are a wide range. A fiddly one will mean you're less likely to bother using it, whereas a good five-point harness will be easy to use and keep your baby safe and secure.Tray drop tests Trays are removed and dropped on each side, to see whether they break. A broken tray is no use to anyone, and it could be leave sharp edges or small parts that could fit in a baby's mouth.
