High chair

A high chair is a piece of furniture used for feeding older babies and younger toddlers.

The seat is raised a fair distance from the ground, so that a person of adult height may spoon-feed the child comfortably from a standing position (hence the name).

There is a tray which is attached to the arms of the high chair, which allows the adult to place the food on it for either the child to pick up and eat or for the food to be spoon-fed to them.

Others are more complex and are designed to fold up and include a detachable tray.

High chairs can result in child-related accidents.
