Quick verdict
For most people the Mega Baby Doha 3-in-1 is the best buy: it converts from high chair to booster to low chair, so it lasts years instead of being outgrown within one. If you need something portable and cheap, the Love 610 booster straps to any chair; and for comfort, the upholstered Love 665.
What to look for before buying
- Type: portable booster or high chair — A booster is a seat that straps onto an ordinary chair: it takes little space, travels to the grandparents' house and costs considerably less. A high chair has its own legs and puts the baby at table height, which is more comfortable for feeding and includes them in the family meal. If space is tight or you travel often, the booster wins; if the chair lives in the dining room, the high chair.
- 3-in-1 convertible: how long it lasts — It's what most changes the price-to-use ratio. A chair that's only a high chair becomes useless when the child grows, and that happens sooner than people expect. Convertibles go from high chair to booster and then to a low chair, covering from 6 months to 3 or 4 years. Paying a bit more for the convertible almost always works out cheaper than buying two things.
- 5-point safety harness — This is the non-negotiable point. A baby who has just learned to sit can slide down or stand up suddenly, and a fall from table height is serious. The 5-point harness — two shoulders, two hips and one between the legs — is the only one that prevents both. Three-point ones, without the crotch strap, let the child slide underneath.
- Ease of cleaning — It's the most underestimated criterion and the one you'll be most grateful for: you'll clean this chair two or three times a day for years. Look for a removable tray that fits in the sink, plastic or washable fabric upholstery, and as few seams, folds and corners as possible. A padded fabric chair looks lovely in the photo and is a nightmare with pumpkin purée.
- Folding and stability — If the kitchen is small, folding decides whether the chair lives out or stored. Check it folds in one action and stands up on its own when folded. And the flip side: set up, the base has to be wide and firm, because children push against the table with their feet. A light chair that folds easily but wobbles is no use.

The high chair arrives alongside complementary feeding, around 6 months, and it’s a purchase made in a hurry and regretted later. Two things define it: how long it will be useful and how easy it is to clean.
What to look for
- 3-in-1 convertible: high chair to booster to low chair. Covers 6 months to 3 or 4 years instead of being outgrown within one.
- 5-point harness: the only one that stops a child sliding down or standing up suddenly. Not optional.
- Removable tray that fits in the sink, and the fewest folds and seams possible.
- Wide base: children push against the table with their feet.
Our pick
For most people the Mega Baby Doha 3-in-1 is the smartest buy: it covers several years in one purchase. If you need something portable and cheap, the Love 610 booster straps to any chair and stores in a cupboard. And if you prioritise comfort, the upholstered Love 665.
The criterion you’ll be most grateful for
Cleaning. You’ll clean this chair two or three times a day, every day, for years. A padded fabric chair with seams looks lovely in the photo and is a genuine nightmare with pumpkin purée and yoghurt. Prioritise smooth surfaces, plastic or removable washable fabric, and a tray that fits in the sink.
On safety
Never leave the baby alone in the chair, not even for a minute, not even with the harness on. And always use the full harness even when it seems unnecessary: most high chair accidents happen with children who already sat well and whose harness stopped being fastened.

Frequently asked
From what age is a high chair used?
From when the baby sits unaided with a straight back and holds their head up without help, usually around 6 months, which coincides with the start of complementary feeding. Before that it isn't advisable: if they still slump sideways, they don't have the trunk control needed to eat sitting safely. Some chairs recline for earlier use, but for eating solids the correct position is sitting upright, not reclined.
Booster or high chair?
It depends on space and how much you'll move it. A booster straps to any dining chair, takes up very little, stores in a cupboard and travels to the grandparents' or a restaurant. It's the practical, cheap option. A high chair has its own legs, puts the baby at exactly table height and is more comfortable for feeding without stooping. If you have room in the dining area and the chair will stay there, the high chair is more comfortable for everyone; if you live in a small flat, the booster.
Is the 3-in-1 convertible worth it?
Generally yes, and it's one of the few times paying more works out cheaper. An ordinary high chair is outgrown around 18 months to two years, and then you have to buy a booster anyway. Convertibles go from high chair to booster on a regular chair and then to a low chair for playing or drawing, covering 6 months to 3 or 4 years in one purchase. Check the conversion is real and simple: some are advertised as 3-in-1 but need half the chair dismantled with tools.
