highchair

A highchair is a raised chair designed to allow a young child to sit at table height with adults during mealtimes. It typically features a tray for food, a safety harness or straps to secure the child, and a footrest. The elevated design allows babies and toddlers to participate in family meals, promoting social interaction and facilitating feeding. Highchairs can be made from various materials, including wood, plastic, and metal, and come in a range of styles from traditional to modern, foldable, and convertible models. Some highchairs are designed to adapt as a child grows, transforming into booster seats or toddler chairs. Safety is a primary consideration in highchair design, with features like sturdy construction and secure restraints intended to prevent falls and injuries. Regular cleaning of the tray and seat is important for hygiene.
