Syöttötuoli

Syöttötuoli, commonly known in English as a high chair, is a piece of furniture designed for infants and toddlers to sit at a table with adults. Its primary function is to allow young children to participate in mealtimes alongside their families in a safe and elevated position.

A typical syöttötuoli consists of a seat, a tray, and a frame that raises the seat to table height. The seat is usually designed with safety restraints, such as a harness or crotch strap, to prevent the child from falling or standing up. The tray can be used to hold food and drinks, and many are removable for easy cleaning. The frame of the syöttötuoli can vary in design, from simple, fixed-height models to more complex ones that are adjustable in height or recline. Some syöttötuolit are also foldable for convenient storage.

The use of a syöttötuoli is generally recommended once a baby can sit up unassisted, typically around six months of age. It aids in developing good eating habits and promotes social interaction during meals. When selecting a syöttötuoli, safety features, stability, ease of cleaning, and durability are important considerations. Materials commonly used include wood, plastic, and metal. Modern designs often prioritize ease of use and aesthetic appeal to complement home decor.
