High chairs: How to buy
Exactly what you want from your child's high chair is up to you, but if you're considering buying online it's worth taking a look in a few high street stores first, especially when you could be paying over £100 for one.
Size matters
A number of large Mothercare and Mamas & Papas stores have high chairs on display so take a look at the models available - some high chairs are bulky and you'll get a better idea of how much space they take up if you can see them side by side.
Try the adjustments
Whilst you're in the store have a go at adjusting the tray and undoing the buckle on the harness, you're likely to repeat these actions more than once a day and with a squirming child in the seat so pick one you can work easily.
More padding - more work?
Multi-functional chairs often have a lot of padding - comfy for baby, but it can make more work for you when it comes to cleaning. If your heart is set on a multifunctional chair, save yourself as much scrubbing time as possible by opting for one with as few seams, creases and crevices in the upholstery and on the frame of the chair as possible.
If you do decide to buy online check delivery charges. Some sites offer free delivery on goods over a certain price, for others, standard delivery will cost you around £4, sometimes more.
