Baby chairs & highchairs

IKEA high chairs: a place at the table for everyone

Eating together, picking up habits from adults and exploring new tastes, textures and the feel of food are all important steps as your child grows. IKEA high chairs give you a safe, stable base you can adjust to suit a growing child and the changing needs that come with each stage. And it’s not just about safety and practicality, design matters too. Your IKEA baby chair will be part of your dining space for a long time, so it should feel right with your interior style. That’s why you’ll find a range of high chairs at IKEA to fit different homes and routines.

Here's what to look for across our range of IKEA high chairs (depending on the model):

• Child-friendly, tested design with rounded edges, a safety belt, a stable seat and a wide, sturdy base
• Robust, easy-care options in materials such as plastic, metal or wood
• Practical accessories, including a tray, a seat cushion or add-on padding you can add later
• High chairs that grow with your child: adjustable set-ups and many can be used without the tray as your toddler gets bigger
• Portable solutions: baby seats that are simple to take apart and use at the table
• Safety first: high chairs are tested for harmful substances and designed with child-friendly details like rounded edges

With thoughtfully designed, tested high chairs, your little ones can sit comfortably, safely and right in the heart of things, with or without a tray. Want to know what else they can do? Read on.

How safe are IKEA high chairs?

At IKEA, safety comes first. Each model is tested for stability, strength and materials, whether you go for wood, plastic or metal. Rounded edges, a safety belt and a wide, stable base are all part of the design. You can also add seat cushions and removable trays as your child grows. With just a few quick adjustments, our high chairs and baby seats can help keep even the tiniest ones sitting securely.

When can a baby start using a high chair, and what should I bear in mind?

Once your baby can sit up by themselves, a high chair can be a great addition at the dining table. The key is an upright posture, supported with a cushion if needed. At IKEA, you’ll also find other essentials for early milestones, from children's chairs to clever bibs and practical baby tableware.

Are there space-saving high chairs for smaller homes?

At IKEA, you’ll find options to suit smaller spaces too. Some plastic and metal high chairs are lightweight, easy to move and quick to put away when you don’t need them. They can also be handy when you’re out and about and want your child seated alongside the grown-ups, whether that’s at a restaurant or a family celebration. That way everyone can eat together while you keep your little one close.

How does an IKEA high chair adapt as my child grows?

Babies grow fast and our high chairs are built to keep up. If your little one isn’t sitting steadily yet, supportive cushions and padding can help. Secure fastenings can add extra support too, depending on the model. As they get bigger, you can remove the padding, take off the tray and pull the chair right up to the dining table so your toddler can join in more independently.
