How to Choose the Perfect Highchair for Your Baby?
As soon as a baby begins eating solid foods, a new and important question arises for parents: which high chair should we choose?
A high chair is not just another piece of furniture. It’s a child’s very first personal space at the table — a place where they begin to learn the basics of independent eating. That’s why safety, stability, and comfort are essential considerations.
If you’re in search of the ideal high chair that ensures proper posture for your child while allowing you to enjoy your coffee in peace, we recommend exploring the curated collection of baby highchairs at Labebe Boutique. Here, you’ll find models that grow with your baby, are easy to clean, and blend beautifully with modern interiors.
Before purchasing, pay attention to key features such as: optimal seat height, a secure safety harness, a removable tray, and overall daily usability.
And if you're unsure where to start, visit our blog for guidance on selecting a high chair that both you and your little one will love — without compromising your home’s style or harmony.
Why a High Chair Is a Must-Have?
Introducing solid food is a transformative stage in a baby’s development and in the family’s daily routine. Mealtime becomes an energetic, sometimes chaotic experience filled with crumbs, spills, and flying spoons. At this point, a high chair becomes an indispensable ally — practical, reliable, and safe.
A thoughtfully designed feeding chair supports your baby’s posture, helping them sit upright, eat more calmly, and fuss less — turning mealtime into a more enjoyable moment for the whole family.
High chairs also promote independence. Children begin to master spoon handling, develop coordination, and gradually acquire new skills — all within a secure and structured environment.
For parents, it’s just as important: no more awkward feeding positions or back strain. A properly elevated high chair brings your baby to eye level, making it easier to engage and interact during meals.
What to look for in a premium high chair:
- A stylish design that blends seamlessly with your home interior.
- Adjustable height and reclining positions;
- A removable, easy-to-clean tray;
- Solid stability and secure safety harnesses;
Labebe Boutique offers models that meet all these standards — elegant, ergonomic, and safe. Let your child grow while discovering the flavors of new foods, and allow the high chair to become part of your most cherished memories — from the first taste of carrot to the first brave attempt at eating with a spoon all on their own.
What should you consider when choosing a high chair?
At first glance, a baby highchair may seem like a simple accessory. But once the time comes to choose one, parents are faced with many questions: Which model is the safest? The most comfortable? Will it last longer than just a few months?
Safety
To ensure your child feels secure—and you feel confident—pay attention to the following features:
- A sturdy, tip-resistant frame;
- 5-point harnesses that hold your child safely in place, even during active movements;
- Non-toxic, child-safe materials;
- European safety and quality certifications.
At Labebe Boutique, you'll find trusted brands like Peg Perego, Happy Baby, and Foppa Pedretti—each offering high chairs that meet these criteria and provide reliable protection for your little one.
Comfort
Soft, ergonomic cushions, an adjustable backrest, and a footrest are essential for ensuring your child is comfortable during every meal. Especially in the early stages—when your baby’s neck and back muscles are still developing—the chair should offer proper support and distribute weight evenly. The more comfortable the child, the smoother the feeding process—and the more joyful the experience for the whole family.
Easy of cleaning
Let’s be honest—food rarely stays on the plate. Crumbs, spills, and smudges often end up on the chair, tray, clothes, and sometimes even you. That’s why easy maintenance is crucial:
- A removable tray that can be rinsed under running water or cleaned in a dishwasher;
- A washable seat liner that’s machine-friendly;
- Surfaces that wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Mobility and Compact Design
If you live in a smaller space or often travel with your child, consider high chairs with the following features:
- Built-in wheels for easy movement around the home;
- A foldable design for space-saving storage;
- Quick assembly for hassle-free use on the go.
Convertible Functionality
Some child feeding chair models are designed to grow with your child—transforming into toddler chairs, armchairs, or even play tables. This multifunctional approach makes your purchase more practical and long-lasting. For example, the Foppa Pedretti Bonito, available at Labebe, adjusts to your child’s age and needs, continuing to serve your family for years.

How to Know When Your Baby Is Ready for Solid Foods?
Every child develops at their own pace, but by around 6 months of age, most babies begin to show common signs that they’re ready to explore solid foods:
- They can sit up steadily without support;
- They show keen interest in family mealtimes;
- They follow the spoon with their eyes and may even reach for food.
At this stage, a natural question arises: is it time to transition your baby to a high chair?
The answer is yes. If your child is physically ready and increasingly engaged at the table, it’s the perfect moment to choose a high chair that is:
- Comfortable for the baby;
- Entirely safe and stable;
- Designed to turn every mealtime into a shared family ritual.
