Best High Chairs

Updated

We reviewed high chairs across ease of cleaning, adjustability across ages, tray design, folding ability, and safety certification. Options from compact everyday feeders to convertible chairs that grow from infant to toddler.

The most important feature most parents underestimate is how easy the chair is to clean. A high chair gets used three times a day and food ends up in every crevice. Chairs with removable dishwasher-safe trays, smooth non-upholstered surfaces, and minimal gap-trap designs dramatically reduce the daily cleaning burden.

Convertible high chairs extend the usable life of the purchase -- a good one transitions from a reclined newborn position through a full upright toddler seat to a booster seat on a regular chair, covering ages zero to five or beyond. Verify which stages each chair actually supports before buying.

Graco Slim Snacker High Chair

Best Overall

Graco Slim Snacker High Chair

The Graco Slim Snacker has the largest buyer base of any high chair in this comparison, with strong feedback from a large number of buyers. Ultra-slim fold takes up minimal storage space, fast-fold design collapses in one hand, multiple recline positions for younger babies, and a washable seat pad. Graco's standard tray design and five-point harness meet all safety certifications. The reliable everyday choice for most families.

Graco Table2Table Lux Highchair

Not Recommended

Graco Table2Table Lux Highchair

The Graco Table2Table Lux is Graco's newest convertible high chair with 6 growing stages including a table-height youth chair. Strong early feedback from a very small pool of buyers. A high chair is used multiple times daily in a safety-critical role. That little buyer history is not enough data to confirm the recline reliability, harness durability, or tray mechanism hold up over real-world use. The Graco Slim Snacker has a far larger buyer base in the same price tier.

Skip
TL;DR

Very little buyer history -- insufficient for a safety-critical daily-use product

Pros

  • Graco brand with good design heritage
  • 6 growing stages including table-height youth chair
  • Strong early feedback

Cons

  • The least buyer history of any chair in this review by a significant margin
  • Graco's Slim Snacker delivers similar quality with a far larger buyer base
