Eating times for a baby is often quite an uphill battle as you need to make sure that the food you buy them is nutritious and good for the development while at the same time making sure that they actually enjoy eating it. This is often a very difficult task as they are full of energy and just want to run around and find new things to play with. This is where a good quality high chair can make all the difference as child that is comfortable will want to spend more time in the high chair and less time trying to get out of it.
There are though quite a few high chairs on the market all boasting to be the best but it's important that you do your research to find the high chair that best suits your situation. With this in mind, there are quite a few practical factors to consider as well as the aesthetic appeal. Below is a rundown of the types of high chairs on the market today giving you an idea of what to look out for when purchasing a high chair.
Plastic High Chairs
Plastic high chairs are incredibly practical at they are very easily to clean and often very easy to put up. Many of the plastic high chairs collapse down with ease making them practical in terms of storage as well mobility as it is important to remember that you may need to take the high chair to another location if they don't have one. Although the design of plastic high chairs has significantly improved the overall look of the chair over the years, plastic high chairs are often not the prettiest high chairs on the market, which can be an issue in a design conscious home. The plastic seats can also be slightly uncomfortable for the child over a long period of time so it's worth getting your child to try it out before you buy.
Wooden High Chairs
The wooden high chair has a real classic look to it and the style has been around for generations, making it one of the most popular high chairs on the market. The smooth and polished finish of the wood makes it nice to sit in for the child, especially if there is a padded cushion, and the aesthetics of the wooden high chair make it look lovely in any home. One downside is that the wooden high chairs often don't collapse down that much and can take up a lot of room in the house. They are often much heavier than the plastic and metal high chairs, which can be quite impractical when trying to transport it to another location.
Metal High Chairs
Depending on the style of metal high chair you go for, they can look very nice in a modern house and is often much smaller in size than the wooden and plastic high chairs. The light weight metal high chairs can be extremely light, which is good for transporting, but with a similar issue to the wooden high chairs, they can sometimes not collapse down as well for storage needs.
