High chairs are specialised seating units designed to support infants and toddlers safely at table height for eating, playing and interacting with family. In simple terms, a high chair is a raised seat with secure restraints that allows little ones to join family mealtimes at the dining table without being on the floor or in someone’s lap.
Here’s why Australians love high chairs: they make mealtime safer and more enjoyable for babies and parents alike, promote early eating skills, and integrate children into everyday family moments — all while keeping floors clean and backs happy.
High chairs come in various forms to suit different homes, ages and lifestyles across Australia.
Classic models with a sturdy frame, tray and footrest. These are often wood or metal, easy to clean and built to last through multiple children.
These versatile options transition with your child — from infant seat to toddler chair and sometimes even to junior seat, extending longevity and value.
Perfect for small spaces, apartments or travel, these lightweight models fold flat and easily store away when not in use.
Smaller than full seats, boosters attach securely to adult chairs to raise a child up to table level without taking up floor space.
Ideal for compact kitchens or alfresco spaces, these attach directly to a sturdy tabletop and fold up when unused.
Australian families increasingly seek high chairs that blend function with style — minimalist timber designs, muted tones and premium fabrics that integrate seamlessly with modern décor.
Choosing the right high chair isn’t just about looks — safety, comfort and practicality matter most.
Check manufacturer recommendations:
Newborn/infant support for babies as young as 4–6 months
Toddler‑friendly up to around 15–20 kg
A grow‑with‑me high chair can span several years of use.
Always look for:
A stable base and non‑tip design
A secure 5‑point or 3‑point harness
A lockable tray and footrest
Non–slip feet or pads
Safety is paramount — Australia has strict standards for children’s seating.
Mealtimes can get messy! Opt for:
Removable trays
Smooth wipe‑clean surfaces
Machine‑washable pads or covers
These save time and keep your kitchen hygienic.
Consider your home size:
Foldable or compact boosters suit apartments
Full frames fit well in larger dining rooms
Portable high chairs are great for travel or grandparents’ house visits.
Contemporary Aussie homes increasingly favour minimalist timber, muted tones, or Scandinavian‑inspired designs that complement living spaces rather than stand out.
Features like adjustable tray height, removable inserts and convertible designs add years of functionality and value.
High chairs aren’t just functional — they improve daily life in many ways.
High chairs bring babies to table height, allowing them to see, interact and learn from family mealtimes — fostering social and eating skills early.
A secure harness and ergonomic seat support keeps little ones safe, while comfortable padding encourages calm, happy eating.
Raised seats and trays contain food mess, reducing time spent cleaning floors and allowing for easier parenting routines.
Being upright and part of the dining experience helps infants practise head control, hand‑eye coordination, and self‑feeding.
High chairs aren’t just for dinners — they’re great for snacks, crafts, baking with adults, and even quiet play under supervision.
Booster and clip‑on high chairs are perfect for apartments, patios or casual dining settings.

High chairs — once purely functional — are now part of modern home design. Here’s what Aussies are embracing in 2025:
High chairs that blend seamlessly with dining areas — think muted colours, timber finishes and minimalist frames that match adult chairs.
Families are choosing high chairs made from sustainably sourced timber, recycled plastics, and non‑toxic, durable fabrics that reflect environmental values.
Grow‑with‑me and adjustable high chairs are trending because they adapt as children grow, offering long‑term value and reducing waste.
Small‑home living continues to drive demand for boosters, clip‑ons and foldable options that tuck away neatly when not in use.
Removable premium padding with breathable fabrics makes mealtime more pleasant for both babies and adults.
High chairs can be both functional and stylish. Here’s how to make them integral to your home aesthetic:
Choose high chair colours and materials that complement your dining chairs and tables. Neutral tones and timber finishes work beautifully with most design schemes.
Instead of pulling high chairs into living zones, align them with your dining setting to create a cohesive environment.
Soft linen covers, woven placemats from Florabelle Collection or neutral rug tones can make high chairs feel like part of your décor, not parenting gear.
Even when not in daily use, folded high chairs or boosters can be stored with intention — tucked into pantries or styled alcoves rather than cluttered corners.
If space allows, swap summer‑light high chairs with softly padded winter versions to complement seasonal décor shifts.
