Identifying what high chair to purchase for your baby can be so overwhelming! With all the different options available and opinions of others to sort through, it is easy to feel confused and unsure of what to choose 🤔
Our team of feeding therapists looks for specific features in a high chair to ensure babies and toddlers are supported and comfortable when it’s time to eat.
Here are some therapist recommended things to look for:
1. Choose a high chair that allows your child to sit upright and has a foot rest they can reach.
2. Make certain that the tray is at chest height or below so your child can see and reach their food.
3. When your child is sitting in the chair, make sure their hips, knees, and ankles are at 90° for proper positioning.
4. Determine if the high chair can be pushed to the dinner table so that your child feels included at meal time!
If you need support with setting up a positive feeding environment and/or your child is having difficultly accepting a variety of food items, call our office to schedule an appointment! Our team of feeding therapists is ready to help!
