Choosing the right highchair for your baby is essential for safety, functionality, and seamless decor. Here are some tips to consider when selecting a highchair.
Comfort is key
A high chair that's comfortable isn't just a luxury—it's essential for both your child and your peace of mind. When your little one is comfortable, they're more likely to stay seated longer, allowing you to enjoy meals together without fuss. A well-padded, supportive high chair can also help your child develop good posture and focus on eating, making mealtime a positive experience. Plus, a comfortable high chair can grow with your child, ensuring they have a cozy spot at the table as they grow.
Can the chair be adjusted?
Imagine having a highchair that grows with your child, from their first spoonful of puree to their big-kid meals at the table. A highchair like this is more than just a piece of furniture—it's an investment in convenience, comfort, and long-term value. Leander’s highchair is designed with longevity in mind as it’s suitable for infants, through to children of 10 years of age. For starters, it adapts as your child grows, meaning you won’t need to constantly replace the chair as they outgrow it. Whether it’s adjusting the seat height for an infant or converting into a toddler booster or even a regular chair for older kids, it’s designed to meet their needs through different stages of development.

Choose a chair that allows your child to be a child.
Children naturally move, a lot. The Leander highchair absorbs this movement, by producing small rocking movements as your child moves. This supports children by being aware of their body and encourages them to sit more calmly. And let’s not forget the comfort factor. Many of these highchairs are designed with ergonomic features to ensure your child is seated comfortably, which can make mealtime more enjoyable for everyone.
What about your child’s safety?
When choosing a highchair, safety is a top priority, and modern designs come with thoughtful features to keep your child secure. Look for a sturdy, wide base that prevents tipping, even with an active little one. A five-point harness or a secure buckle system ensures your child stays safely in place during meals. Non-slip feet add stability, especially on smooth floors, helps prevent slipping. These features give you peace of mind, knowing your child is safe while they enjoy their meals.
What about design?
As children grow to eat more frequently throughout the day, the highchair remains a permanent piece of furniture around your home. Therefore, it’s worthwhile choosing a chair that you enjoy looking at and working with, day-in, day-out. This also means Leander’s highchair it’s a great fit for your space. Since it lasts for years, you don’t have to worry about cluttering your home with multiple chairs or finding storage for outdated pieces, as it grows with your child.
And what about materials?
When choosing a highchair, the materials and features can make all the difference in durability, comfort, and ease of use. Opt for a highchair made from high-quality, easy-to-clean materials like stain-resistant fabrics or wipeable surfaces, so you spend less time cleaning up after meals. A chair with a sturdy frame—whether wood or metal—offers long-lasting support and stability. Adjustable features, like a reclining seat or height settings, ensure the chair grows with your child and fits your table perfectly. Removable trays that are dishwasher-safe add convenience, and smooth edges or rounded corners keep your child safe while adding a sleek look to your kitchen. These thoughtful features and materials can make mealtime more enjoyable for everyone.
