What to Look for in a Portable High Chair

Style of seat. Portable high chairs come in a variety of styles, including clip-on, standalone, sling-like and booster-style. It’s important to think about which style will be most convenient for your needs.

Safety and harnesses. Take note of how a seat secures to either a chair or table; a tight fit prevents any wobbles or shakiness. For younger children, choose a seat with a five-point harness; older toddlers can get away with a three-point.

Fold and portability. Families on the go will likely prefer a portable high chair that folds down, making it easier to transport from one place to another. Keep an eye out for additions like a carry strap or bag.

How to clean. Fabrics and surfaces that are easy to wipe down are perfect for dining out. If you want a deeper clean, look for features like machine-washable straps and covers or dishwasher-safe accessories.
