The choice of materials determines how sturdy a high chair is and how long it lasts. Solid wood, especially European beech, provides a stable seat with sturdy legs that take up less floor space while accommodating a growing child. On adjustable models, the armrest, backrest, and footrest can be adjusted to fit a baby and then a child without compromising the original construction. A harness is an essential safety feature to check, whatever the model; our high chairs have a five-point harness. Compared with plastic, which is lighter but sometimes less durable, European wood offers reassuring strength and timeless style.

A removable tray, like the one on the TOBO, makes it easy to rinse under running water without taking the whole seat apart. The solid wood simply wipes clean with a sponge, with no harsh cleaning products needed. The HIKO table seat is just as easy to care for, thanks to its natural, durable materials.
