Every high chair goes through the same tests in our lab, so you can directly compare their strengths and weaknesses. Harness – most high chairs have a five-point harness, but some have a three-point one (so it fits around the waist and between the legs, but has no shoulder straps). You'll likely see a solid crotch bar (also known as a pommel) to help prevent your baby from slipping forward out of the chair. BES recommends the correct belt position is at 80°+ which will help extend reach, keep the pelvis in place and discourage posterior pelvic tilt. This position will allow pressure relief off the ITs, and is safe as it will discourage submarining. Look over the seat pads or cushion. Stains or fading patterns are fine, but look out for holes where a nimble-fingered baby might pull out foam, as it can be a choking hazard.

Breezi range of chairs are available in 3 sizes Teezi, Breezi and Max. Teezi has the shortest chair leg, Breezi is medium, and Max has the tallest chair leg. The Medial knee abductor is used as a part of lower body positioning to separate the legs or thigh region (abductors).The Breezi high chair range has been designed so it can be integrated easily within a home or school environment.

How easy is it to clean? When your child no longer needs a high chair (and the age will vary depending on the style of high chair you buy), you can either sell it via an online marketplace; give it to a charity shop, friend or family member; or dispose of it.Padding – this makes the high chair more comfy for your baby, but makes more work for you when it comes to cleaning. Save yourself as much scrubbing time as possible by opting for a high chair with as few seams, creases and crevices in the upholstery as possible. Watch out for textured fabrics or those that say handwash only. For children who need the opportunity to rest their head from time to time when seated we offer a head rest. It is important to point out this isn’t intended as a head support i.e. to support the head properly, it really is just a rest. Tray pads – If cushioning is require for either the top or bottom side of the tray we can provide tray pads. Harnesses A key safety feature, but there are a wide range. A fiddly one will mean you're less likely to bother using it, whereas a good five-point harness will be easy to use and keep your baby safe and secure.

These high chairs last longer than standard chairs, as they can shapeshift to match the age of your child – many can be used as furniture for children up to five. The height of the chair legs can be determined by taking into consideration two important factors - the height of the child and the work surface that the child will be seated at. We offer three trays in line with the three chair widths available. The actual surface area of the trays is exactly the same but the slots for the mounting arms have to be in different positions in line with the chair width meaning that the trays aren’t interchangeable between different chair widths. The score we give each high chair is made up of a combination of the elements of our tough tests, ignoring price, and is broken down as follows: The form-fitting shape of the PivotFit™ Shoulder Harness offers optimal support and a comfortable fit, to suit individual needs.Footrest tests We apply a weight to the footrest, to replicate a toddler climbing on it, or using it to stand up when in the high chair. We've seen some fail at 10kg, which is around the weight of a one-year-old. The Breezi Range enables high level of adjustability which means it is possible to interchange the different chair widths between the different leg heights.
