High Chairs – Types and How to Choose

Around the 6th month, when the baby starts sitting unaided and tasting first foods, it is time for a high chair. Here are the types available and how to choose.

What to check

  • Safety – a secure harness, stable legs and compliance with the high chair standard (EN 14988).
  • Easy cleaning – smooth surfaces and few gaps where food can collect.
  • Age and weight – how long the chair can be used.
  • Space – measure the kitchen and the height of the table.
  • Material and design – the chair stays in the kitchen for years, so it should fit the interior.

Buba Carino – a high chair that grows with your child

The Buba Carino high chair is for children from 6 months to 5 years (up to 15 kg) who can sit unaided. Its legs are made of beech wood and can be removed, so the tall chair turns into a low play chair. It is available in grey, black, ivory and pink.

Tips for the first meals

  • Always fasten the harness and never leave the child alone.
  • Place the chair at the family table – children learn to eat by watching you.
  • Keep it away from the stove, walls and window sills the child could push off from.
