Many such questions that might bother the aesthetic sense in you so it is important to decide on all these factors before buying baby high chair.

Comfort comes after safety but it is equally important because if the chair is not comfortable enough then the safety doesn't matter. If the chair material or style doesn't comfort your baby then there is probably no use of it. There are many important comfort related features of a chair that you should consider when buying a high chair.

Let’s have a look at those features.

• What is the fabric and material of seat? Is the seat comfortable enough and doesn’t get the baby irritated in a while because of discomfort?

• Is the food tray easily accessible to the baby? 

Many more questions bother parents because they are really meticulous about baby’s comfort, after all you are doing this for your baby. So, put in your best efforts to buy the perfect high chair for your baby.

This is another question that parents are concerned about because if the chair isn’t adjustable, then your baby will grow out of it within no time and you will be stuck with excessive burden of high chair. So, think truly about all the flexibility you need when buying a chair.

• Can the crotch post be moved accordingly? 
• Can the footrest be adjusted as baby grows?
• Can the food tray be moved if the baby needs more space?
• Does the chair offers to be compact when you need it to be?
• Can the base be adjusted?
• If you want to take the baby high chair to trips, would that b possible?
• Is the chair easy to set up? Because you will be working all the time if you have to keep setting it up everytime you go on a trip?
• Can you take out the seat to put it in your car with your baby in it?
• Can the seat be adjusted so the baby can lay back on the chair and have a bottle? 

There are many more such questions that can be asked when you’re thinking about the adjust-ability of the chair. Make a checklist of what you need out of all the points listed and make combinations of choices so you don’t go through hard time while choosing the baby high chair.

It is another very major thing because it also concerns the safety of your child. If the chair isn’t stable enough then any sibling fight might really hurt someone. Generally chair with wide legs and base can be stable but still if the chair gets kicked by side, how sturdy it is to resist falling?

There are more such questions that should be considered when buying high chair for your baby.

• What is the base of chair? 
• How much pressure can a chair resist?
• What if chair is pushed?
• Is the chair stable enough to resist any extra pressure from the sides?
• How much weight can the chair bear? 

These questions are particularly important if you have other kids of your own or in the family. One of both is almost always true so you have to make sure that your baby doesn’t get hurt while other adolescents are running around. If the chair is able to resist some standard pushes then you shouldn’t worry too much. If you are buying online, read the reviews properly so you know that you are buying only best for your baby.

This is another factor which should be considered because there are times when your baby is not using the chair and it is taking a lot of space in your kitchen or lounge. So, you probably want it away for the times when you are not using it. But if the chair is hard to put out and specially if you have to do it once everyday, you seriously need to consider the hassle you will be going through everytime you won’t be needing it.

• Can the chair be folded? 
• How much compact it becomes after folding it?
• How much space does it take when not folded?
• How much effort does it take to fold the chair? How can it be stored for a while?

Many such question if asked before can reduce your everyday hassle. So make sure you consider all the factors when buying the high chair for your baby. You should also see if the chair folding mechanism, so that it doesn't fold when your baby is still inside it. The folding mechanism should be sturdy but not too hard.

There are many versions of high chairs and some of them are easily moveable because of the wheel support. If you need the chair to be movable so you can easily carry your baby around while you are moving all over the house. Moveable chairs are a huge bliss but you also have to see the stability of the wheels and their locks. Because if the chair wheels have poor locks then it might move everytime the baby moves in the chair.

The main questions to consider when buying the movable chair are below.

• Can the wheels be locked? 
• Also, are the wheels smooth enough to move the chair around without extra effort? 
• How sturdy are the wheel locks?

Remember these question because just knowing that the chair contains wheels is not enough as you are putting your most valuable person in that chair and everything must be considered thoroughly when buying the baby high chair.
