I Tested 7 High Chairs To Find The Best One For Every Baby

During our review the Table2Table Premier impressed with its seven-stage versatility that truly grows with a child from infant to toddler, and it comes with a tray, cushion, harness, and footrest ready out of the box. We found the chair is fairly heavy and bulky, so it's harder to move or store than more compact models, and the tray's gaps trapped food which made cleaning a nuisance. If you need a long-term, adjustable solution and don’t mind the size, this 7/10 performer rewards longevity over portability.

In our testing the Beyond Junior scored 8/10 by pairing sustainably sourced European beechwood with smart, practical details—its EZ-Seat system lets you reposition the seat and footrest in less than twenty seconds. We found the water-resistant cushions are easy to wipe clean after meals, but the tray needs two hands to remove, which can be inconvenient during busy mealtimes. The chair isn't portable or foldable for travel, and our experience shows the tray cover can warp in the dishwasher, so hand-washing is safer.

In our testing the Tripp Trapp stands out as a near top-rated choice (9.5/10) thanks to its ergonomic, adjustable seat and footplate that grow with your child and its sleek Scandinavian look crafted from durable European beech wood. Our experience shows it provides excellent posture support and longevity, a worthwhile investment for families who want furniture that lasts. That said, the five-point harness straps were fiddly to adjust and tricky to clean in our review, and the high price plus lack of folding affects portability.

During our review the Peg Perego Siesta earned a solid 7.5/10 for its versatility, offering nine height positions and five recline settings that make it adaptable from newborn to toddler. We found the multi-position adjustments make mealtime comfortable and the included tray, harness, and footrest add practical value, but the tray release buttons were surprisingly stiff and can be hard to remove quickly. Mobility was another issue—wheels didn’t always glide smoothly on carpet in our testing—so keep that in mind if you move the chair often.

In our testing the Graco Blossom earned an 8.5/10 for its exceptional versatility: the 6-in-1 design adapts as kids grow and can even accommodate two children at once, which is a huge practical plus for growing families. We found the included tray, cushion, harness, and footrest thoughtfully supplied, but the chair is quite bulky and doesn’t fold, so storage and maneuvering are tougher than with sleeker models. The five-point harness is secure but complicated to use and some parents prefer converting it to a 3-point setup for daily convenience.

In our testing the Inglesina Fast Table Chair stood out as a lightweight, portable option that packs into the included carry bag and clamps to most tables between 0.8" and 3.5" thick. We found the textured fabric traps food and makes cleaning frustrating, and the tray is sold separately, which adds to the cost. It’s handy for travel and short visits but won’t work on tables with box aprons and isn't ideal if you need easy cleanup. Scoring 6.5/10, it’s a practical backup chair.
