Later You won't need one until your baby starts solids, around 6 months.
Secondhand: Fine secondhand. Fine secondhand. Check the straps and tray latch, and search the model for recalls.
Typical use: about 30 months.
Look for a five-point or three-point harness, a stable base and a tray and seat that are easy to wipe clean. Chairs that grow with your child last longer but often cost more up front.
1 has a safety or materials point to know about, noted in the reviews below.
BabyGearLab's best overall: wood, easy to clean, and grows into a seat for up to 250 lb. Heavy and tricky to assemble.
A beech-wood chair that grows from baby to adult, easy to wipe and compact. The infant set is fiddly and the price is high.
Folds flat with the tray stored on the back, light and minimal. Shoulder straps aren't attached to the seat.
A $19 chair that's light, quick to assemble and easy to wipe. Upright only, with a 3-point harness and a fiddly tray.
The easiest to clean chair tested, with furniture-like looks. Assembly is very difficult and the tray is small.
Reclines for young babies and rolls on wheels, with lots of adjustments. Crevices are hard to clean and it's large.
Best value: converts through toddler stages to 80 lb and is light, but doesn't fold and has a fixed footrest.
A sturdy, easy-to-clean chair that spins 360 degrees, so you can turn baby toward you or the table. The straps aren't great, the footrest doesn't adjust and it takes up floor space.
Folds small and has a comfortable cushion and adjustable footrest, but it felt wobbly in BabyGearLab's test and costs a lot for what it does.
