A study shows teenagers are more likely to stay away from drugs, heavy drinking and smoking when parents dine with them at the table. If dining together as a family is this important, then I see no reason why you shouldn’t start this practice while they are still young, like, toddler- young. In order for your baby to join you comfortably at the table, you would need a high chair. If you tried to look around online, you would have already seen the vast options for this piece of baby furniture. There are reviews here and there, and they might confuse you instead of help you. We know how important this piece of furniture is, so here are some tips on how to find the best high chair for your baby.
SAFETY AND FUNCTIONALITY
Safety and functionality are the two main features you need to look for in a high chair. Babies can be very restless, and they could fall if they are not secured enough to a chair. Most high chairs offer harnesses, but not all are safe enough. The best type is the five- point safety harness, which is both safe and comfortable for your baby. Functionality- wise, your baby’s chair should have adjustable seat heights. This allows you to use it at tables of different heights, especially when you have to bring the chair around for visiting other people’s houses.
BEST BRANDS
We took a look around, and found out that Chicco is still one of the best brands for high chairs. The Chicco Polly, for example, has everything that you need. It has a five- point safety harness, a reclining seat, adjustable seat, removable tray, padded seat, crotch bar and footrest. It is also foldable for easy storage, and it can be easily cleaned. Graco is also a very popular brand, and it has good reason to be. Not only are their chairs reasonably priced, but they also offer comfort and function like no other high chair can.
GETTING THE BEST DEALS
Amazon and E-bay is of course still on the top of the list when it comes to getting the best value for your money, but there are other sites as well. We found this site called babiesonline, where they have a list of discounted baby products on E-bay so you don’t have to look for them. We also found price-grabber (go to the baby’s section), where they have a list ready for the lowest prices on the web, and you can just go to the website in a click of the button. And who would forget coupons? They are still the best way to save on stuffs, and high chairs are no exemptions. You could go to couponsnapshots and print all sorts of coupons for baby furniture.
