Buying a baby chair
Things to consider
- Do you want a design that will rock but can also be used as a stationary chair?
- Do you want to be able to fold it up, either to pack away or take on holiday?
- Is the chair suitable for your baby's age and weight? It can be unsafe if your baby's too big or too small.
- Could the chair tip over? Look for one with a sturdy base.
- Is the base non-slip or could it shuffle about with your baby's movements?
- Is the safety harness well-padded, securely attached and easily adjustable?
- Do you want a chair that can recline fully?
- Is the cover machine-washable?
- Do you want a removable toy bar?
- Does the head-hugger offer your baby's neck and head enough support?
Mum's top tip:
'When Chloe was a baby and I wanted to take a shower, I'd take her into the bathroom in her baby chair. I'd put her in a spot where I could see her and where she wouldn't get splashed with hot water.'
Sarah Smith, mum to Chloe, now 4
