Our research has found that at around six months of age, children reach many milestones including the ability to sit on their own and eat solid food. Children should not sit in a highchair before they are ready since their back and spine have not yet gained the strength to support their heavy head.
A children’s high chair that can be adjusted to fit with your child’s size is more comfortable and stabilizing as it allows her to better shift her weight and balance herself. As an adult, we naturally shift our body weight every couple of minutes by using our feet against a floor. Children have the same need, but do most child high chairs or booster seats allow them to do this?
With a proper seating, a child is more comfortable and remains at the dining table longer. She also learns to be social and interact with the family. Being seated in a traditional high chair often separates a child from the dining table and the family. Having a family dinner at the table together is an ideal way to improve children’s language development and social skills.
