The key to a successful and fuss-free mealtime with your baby is a high-quality and comfortable highchair. The right highchair should be simple to assemble, easy to wipe clean (meals can get messy), comfortable, safe, durable, stable, and easy to store. You’re also going to want a highchair that adjusts to fit your growing child and keeps them comfortable, so you won’t have to replace it for many years.
