Product Information

A beautiful, intelligently designed chair with lots of thoughtful details, the Oribel Cocoon missed out on our transitional award as it’s still only suitable up to age three. But it’s a stylish and flexible model, available in four attractive colours, that will complement your kitchen and make mealtimes a breeze. Juice highchair in Croissant - a warm earthy neutral shade seat with warm wood legs - looks on-trend and blends effortlessly into a modern home. We had the Oribel Cocoon. It was brilliant, so sturdy, height adjustable and it will recline if you need to keep your baby out of the way of the dogs while you cook and they nap or something." hubbletelescope Our verdict Kirsty was impressed by the design of the highchair, and particularly how easy it is to build. 'I love the fact this chair isn’t bulky and the padding makes it so comfy for my daughter when dining,' she says. 'The fact you can pull everything apart to really deep clean it and even pop the tray in the dishwasher is an added bonus that makes the post-meal cleanup process so much easier.' For this category, Rachel partnered with Katrĩna, who has a nine-month-old baby and a 33-month-old toddler to juggle at mealtimes, so was able to put all our products through their paces over the course of three months.

Style and aesthetic: Do you prefer wood or sustainable materials? Do you want a highchair that seamlessly blends into your modern kitchen or dining room, or do you want to opt for a child-friendly design with bolder, brighter prints?

A seamless seat pad, 5-point harness, secure crotch post and comfy leg rest keep baby safe and comfortable at mealtimes, and when mealtimes are over, Juice is easy to clean, with a removable dishwasher-safe tray.

How we chose our recommendations

Juice Croissant is an aesthetically stylish Scandi-inspired highchair that converts easily into a junior chair as baby grows. A seamless seat pad, 5-point harness, secure crotch post and comfy leg rest keep baby safe and comfortable at mealtimes, and when mealtimes are over, Juice is easy to clean, with a removable dishwasher-safe tray. The chair is suitable from newborn with a clip on baby bouncer, which allows them to be at the table when you're eating. Then when your child is weaning, you can use it as a high chair with a comfortable baby seat insert and removable tray, before turning into a chair when your toddler is more independent. All the accessories need to be bought separately so the costs do run high, but we love the Scandi design which comes in three neutral colourways for blending nicely into your home. And as it can be used up to the age of ten, it'll be a worthy investment if you can afford the hefty price tag. If you live in a small apartment and space is tight, shop around for slimline highchairs or choose one that folds up easily so it can be stored away between mealtimes. 'Look for a chair that can be folded compactly and doesn’t take up a lot of space when it’s not in use,' advises Hussain. The practical PVC lining is designed to wipe-clean, so any inevitable spills can be dealt with as they come. Finally, the super safe five-point harness is sure to keep little ones secure at all times. The life-span of your chair will depend on the type of model you choose, as some are intended to be used throughout childhood and beyond (see section below). You’re likely to find a chair with a tray essential from first weaning up to the age of three.

The built-in carry handles make this highchair a good choice if you have the kind of kitchen set-up that means you're likely to move the highchair around a lot. Some just aren't built with that kind of portability in mind. This feature is 'a lifesaver' according to Kirsty. How big is it?: Many highchairs understandably have a large footprint at the base for stability, so it’s important to consider the overall dimensions of the highchair, especially if you are more limited on space at home. Some highchairs are designed to be left out at all times once assembled, while others offer a compact fold or even free-standing fold for more simple storage when not in use. The maximum age for a high chair depends on the individual child. Some smaller tots will benefit from a bit of extra height at the table while others will start to flex their independence and refuse to sit still!Light and portable with built-in handles it moves easily around the home when not in use, with plastic foot caps ensuring it doesn't damage wooden floors.
