There are plenty of choices out there for people who are looking for high chairs for babies--so many choices that deciding which high chair will work best for your baby can quickly become overwhelming and difficult.
What many parents forget is that there are basically two options when it comes to high chairs for babies: the stand alone high chair and the ones that hook to the table. From here it becomes simply a matter of styling and safety!
Most parents are familiar with the stand alone chairs. These are the seats that sit up off of the ground and have a removable (or adjustable) tray. These chairs sit apart from the table. Many parents like these because they are often portable and can be utilized anywhere. A parent can even feed their child in the living room if they wants to!
Safety is of the utmost importance with any type or brand of high chairs. Parents should avoid thin or wobbly legs and should look for legs with "feet" that will help balance the chair and keep it fixed to the floor, even when your baby moves around in the chair.
The type that hooks to the table is a popular choice among parents whose babies are old enough to be included in meal times, but are not yet big enough for their own seats at the table.
Parents often choose this kind of highchair because it helps them to teach their children meal time manners from an early age. It also helps to include the baby in a time in which he or she might ordinarily be only a spectator from a chair across the room! It helps to promote an overall "family" environment.
Some parents switch back and forth from the stand alone high chair to the ones that attach to the table. Deciding which option is best for your child will help you narrow down your final decision by quite a lot!
