Freedom to mother's hands: TOP-5 functional highchairs for feeding

Chicco is a well-known leader in its industry, as for over sixty years Italian manufacturers have been working on the production of children's clothing, footwear and related products of high quality.

The first feature of the chair is convenience for the baby. This model is perfect for parents whose child is much larger than their peers, as the seat is very roomy. A special double-sided anatomical insert for very young children, warm on one side and lined with natural, lightweight fabric on the other, will be comfortable at any time of the year.

Four levels of inclination of the back allow you to use the chair from birth until the moment when the young family member will have a meal at the common table, and the horizontal position turns the structure into a comfortable lounge chair. By the way, unlike many competitors, the model has as many as 8 positions for adjusting the height of the chair, which ensures compatibility with any dining table.

Added convenience is the three-position footrest, so you can adjust the height and ensure the right fit just for your baby.

The table, adjustable in reach (four positions), is wide enough, with deep sides and a removable tabletop, the use of which will eliminate the painful expectation of the child's "play" after the meal. By lightly pressing the side latches, the tabletop is removed and the playing area is clean and ready for use. True, to remove the table itself, you will have to make some efforts, but the complexity of installation is compensated by the reliability of fastening.

For the little ones who are just learning tactile stimulation and visualization, the model is equipped with an adjustable (three positions) panel with removable soft fabric toys.

The advantage is also the fact that the developers took care not only of the comfort of the child, but also of the mother. So, caring for the product is not difficult: a cover made of good eco-leather is easy to clean, and you don’t have to call dad to move the chair around your home - four wheels of smooth rotation with locks work perfectly.

When you do not need the chair, it can be compactly hidden, the design is easy to fold, stands stably in this position and takes up very little space. But when unfolded, the dimensions of the model (106x53x84 cm) are not for a small kitchen, but the baby is comfortable.

Safety is ensured by a plastic limiter between the legs (one-piece with a table top) and reliable five-point harnesses, the only drawback of which is the lack of soft pads.

The Carrello trademark, created in Poland by a once young father who could not find a sensible stroller for his newborn son, boasts a whole army of various products for the baby, among which high chairs occupy an honorable place.

The hero of the review enviably stands out among competitors in terms of ease of use, versatility and practicality for a very reasonable price.

Carrello Triumph CRL-10302 is perfect for families where the lion's share of child care is left only on the mother's shoulders, as the design with a special mechanism is folded with one hand. Moreover, you can allocate time for yourself if you captivate the baby with an entertaining arc with soft bright toys or turn on the playback of melodies on the music block built into the case (mains powered), which can be conveniently switched using the remote control.

Another convenient feature that relieves maternal hands is the “swing” function. If your baby does not want to fall asleep for a long time, then a comfortable rocking chair, adjustable in four positions of the backrest, will help you fall asleep quickly. Since the manufacturer indicates the possibility of using the accessory from birth, it provides a horizontal position for newborns, however, users note that even in the lowest position, the backrest has a high angle of inclination, which casts doubt on the use of a chair for very young children, especially those who are not at all holds his head.

Other useful features include a removable and height-adjustable tabletop, the ability to rebuild the seat to six levels, and an adjustable footrest. True, the width of the latter leaves much to be desired, since even a small leg is unlikely to fully fit on the square.

The strong five-point belts with soft slips and the plastic limiter located on a little table will protect against slipping and falling of the kid.

The stability of the metal structure is achieved through rubberized clamps in front and two wheels on the rear axle.

Families whose criteria for choosing a highchair go beyond just feeding should pay attention to the versatile and functional model Caretero Indigo.

The main distinguishing feature of the chair is the presence of a swing function, which will greatly simplify the care of the child for the mother. What's more, motion sickness happens automatically, so you don't have to manually rock your baby. The control box, powered by batteries (4 x D) or mains adapter, provides speed control and timer setting for rocking (8, 15, 30 minutes). This is very convenient, since a baby who fell asleep under a gentle swaying, after the swing stops, can sleep peacefully, as in a cradle. And the built-in sound effects will help to distract and set you up for sleep.

During wakefulness, the little fidget will be entertained by soft toys on the arc that come with it. The pastel colors of the animals can hardly be called bright or original, but a wide soft arc will allow you to attach another favorite toy to it on a clothespin.

And when the baby grows up and his weight reaches 9 kg, the “pokatushki” must be turned off and begin to explore the world at the table. The tabletop is wide and equipped with sufficiently high sides and a removable tray with a cup holder.

The seat itself deserves special attention. The wide back and deep seat will make even those who like to eat well feel comfortable, and seat adjustment variations (6 levels of seat height, 5 levels of footrest lifting) will allow the highchair to grow with the child.

Responsible for the safety of the baby: a plastic limiter between the legs, one-piece with a table top, and strong seat belts. By the way, the latter are very soft and wide and will not distract the child during a meal or game with their parents.

Safety guards are also protected by rubberized legs that securely fix the frame of the structure, however, the lack of wheels makes it slightly more difficult to transport the chair around the home.

If multifunctionality, practicality and laconic design became the main criteria when choosing a high chair, then the CAM Istante model will be worthy of your attention.

The chair is designed for babies from birth to three years. Very young children who cannot sit up can spend their time lying down, because of the four levels of inclination of the backrest, a horizontal position is provided. Although users note that the sleeping place does not completely become “on the horizon”, the anatomical structure of the chair allows even a young hero to comfortably accommodate. It makes sense to call a special bonus the presence of a plastic limiter for the legs directly in the seat, and not in the countertop, as in many models. This feature of the design will take care of the safety of the baby during sleep. As for safety, soft belts are also placed on its guard, tightly fixing the baby. And if sleep doesn’t come, then a bright arc with soft toys, complete with a chair, will help to captivate the fidget.

For additional comfort, the crumbs will be taken care of by a double-sided mattress made of sheep wool and a cover made of eco-leather. They are not pretentious in care and are easy to clean even in cold water.

The “legs” of a solid metal frame are shod with wheels at the back, and non-slip pads at the front.

During the meal, a table with a tray will serve as protection for the baby, which can be easily removed and washed, even in the dishwasher. For convenience, the tray has recesses for cutlery and a bottle.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the capacious basket for toys located at the bottom of the frame. It is this arrangement that will allow you to put an additional box for storing children's accessories in it, which will significantly save home space. By the way, when folded, the chair is compact and, if not needed, can perfectly hide in a secluded corner.

The grown-up little one can safely go to the dining table with his parents. From the presented eight levels of seat height, you can optimally choose the most comfortable one for your furniture. The footrest of the chair is also adjustable to three levels in height, which is also a very good indicator.

The manufacturer offers a wide range of colors, which will allow you to choose a chair that fits neatly into the interior of your home.

The first thing that catches your eye when you get acquainted with the chair of the eminent Italian brand is a bright design, and during operation, functionality and wide possibilities open up.

The sturdy frame sits on four soft-rolling wheels that make it easy to transport the chair over any floor. A bright seat flaunts on top, the back of which is adjustable in five positions, including horizontal for sleeping or very small ones like a deck chair. But parents of newborns may be faced with the fact that the perfect bed will not work, since the angle of inclination is too high.

The seat height also received flexible adjustment as much as nine levels, which makes it possible to adjust the height of the baby's landing under any dining table. The footrest is adjustable to three levels.

Bright, perfect outwardly upholstery of the chair, sewn very high quality and presented in various colors. But in the summer, it creates a greenhouse effect, so you have to arm yourself with additional accessories or a simple diaper.

For safety, there are strong straps and a plastic latch built into the seat, which, according to many parents, is much more convenient than the same latch on the countertop body. The tabletop itself is equipped with a removable tray with high sides that can slow down the next portion of porridge when it falls.

It is noteworthy that it is very easy to take care of the chair, and the removable tabletop can be washed in the dishwasher.

For parents whose toddlers are significantly ahead of their peers in height and weight, when choosing this model, it makes sense to “try on” it for a crumb, since the seat itself is somewhat smaller than that of other members of the class.
