The best high chair in Australia for 2026 is easy to clean, adjusts to fit your table and your growing child, and suits the space in your kitchen. Most babies start using a high chair when they begin solids, so choose one that is comfortable and secure now and still useful once your little one is a toddler.
Here are our picks from the high chairs currently in stock at Baby Little Planet, from from-birth recliners to slim fold-flat chairs. Every feature comes from the product's own specifications. You can see the full range in our high chairs collection.
What to look for in a high chair
- Age range: some chairs recline for use from birth, others start at 4 or 6 months. Some convert to a booster or junior chair for years of use.
- Harness: a 5-point harness keeps a wriggly baby secure.
- Footrest: an adjustable footrest gives your child somewhere to rest their feet, which supports a comfortable, upright posture for eating.
- Cleaning: look for a removable, dishwasher-safe tray and wipe-clean or removable seat fabrics.
- Height and table fit: adjustable seat heights or a tray that removes lets your baby join you at the dining table or kitchen bench.
- Storage: if space is tight, a compact or flat fold matters.

Frequently asked questions
When can a baby sit in a high chair?
Most babies start in a high chair when they begin solids and can sit up with support, usually around 6 months. Always follow the chair's stated age range: the Love N Care Montana is from 6 months, the UPPAbaby Ciro from 4 months, and the Silver Cross Buffet can be used from birth in its reclined newborn cradle mode.
What makes a good high chair?
A secure 5-point harness, an adjustable footrest, easy-clean surfaces and a design that fits your table and space. A chair that adjusts or converts, like the Maxi Cosi Minla or Boori Byron, will be used for longer.
Should a high chair have a footrest?
A footrest is worth having. It gives your child support while they eat, and an adjustable one, like those on the UPPAbaby Ciro and Tutti Bambini Nova, can be moved as they grow.
Which high chair is easiest to clean?
Look for a dishwasher-safe tray and wipe-clean or removable fabrics. The UPPAbaby Ciro has a seam-free seat and removable harness, and the Silver Cross Buffet has a removable seat cover and dishwasher-safe tray divider.
Is a folding high chair worth it?
If your kitchen or dining area is small, yes. The Babystudio Super Slim folds flat with one hand, and the Love N Care Montana and Silver Cross Buffet both fold compactly, so the chair isn't in the way between meals.
