Choosing the Perfect Highchair: Essential Tips for Safe and Stylish Mealtime Adventures
Choosing the right highchair is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your little one’s feeding journey. A good highchair baby setup makes mealtimes safer, easier, and more enjoyable for both parents and kids. If you’re searching for a newborn highchair or a stylish highchair wooden option that grows with your child, here’s what to look for and why our Frankie highchair is the perfect choice.
1. Safety and Stability Come First
Many injuries have been linked to unstable highchairs. Always choose a highchair that’s been rigorously tested for stability. Frankie’s wide base, solid beechwood frame, and stainless steel components ensure strength and durability. Designed in New Zealand, it’s built to last and stay safe for years to come.
2. Long-Lasting Use (Up to 90 kg!)
Babies grow quickly but your highchair shouldn’t be temporary. Frankie can be used from around 6 months right up to a 90 kg adult. My own daughter, now 3.5, still happily uses hers every day. She loves having her own chair at the table, and I love how seamlessly it fits into our home.
3. Ergonomic Support for Growing Legs
Proper posture matters: your child’s knees should bend at 90 degrees with their feet supported. Frankie’s adjustable leg rest and seat move effortlessly with the touch of a button (no tools required) ensuring comfort from newborn to toddler and beyond.
4. Easy Cleaning for Busy Parents
Mealtimes are messy, so easy to clean is a must when choosing a highchair. Frankie’s dishwasher-safe tray and saddle make cleanup simple. Smooth, wipeable surfaces and minimal crevices mean less scrubbing and more time enjoying your family.
5. Effortless Tray Handling
Parents will attach and remove the tray multiple times a day, so a quick, secure mechanism is vital. Frankie’s tray slides on and off effortlessly, making feeding and cleaning faster and stress-free.
6. Style That Complements Your Home
Your dining area deserves a highchair that enhances your décor. The highchair wooden design of Frankie, crafted from sustainable European beechwood, offers timeless beauty and eco-friendly durability. Beechwood is naturally strong, easy to maintain, and resistant to wear, ensuring your highchair stays beautiful for years.
7. Versatility With Accessories
Frankie works perfectly with popular food catchers, such as Catchy (using the Stokke TrippTrapp Catchy version), helping keep your floors clean. See Catchy here.
