High Chairs

How to choose high chairs in Australia

When choosing a high chair, prioritise safety first. Look for ACCC-approved models that meet AS/NZS 4684:2009 standards, with a five-point harness and stable base. Consider how long you'll use it: wooden grow-with-me chairs cost more upfront but suit toddlers and older kids, while budget options from Kmart or IKEA work brilliantly if you just need a few years of use. Think about your space too. Compact, foldable chairs suit smaller kitchens and renters, while full-featured models with adjustable heights and reclining seats are fantastic if you've got the room and want to use them from birth. The tray is more important than you'd think. Check that it's dishwasher safe or very easy to wipe down, because you'll be cleaning it multiple times daily. Also consider whether the chair fits under your dining table if you plan to include bub in family meals without the tray.
