Babies move – a lot. As the clock ticks towards mealtime at home, parents get ready to strap their infants or toddlers onto safe high chairs, some even with padded material at the back, to start the journey of train-like spoons whistling towards the baby’s mouth. But families at times dine outside, taking their baby – and their travel high chairs – with them. Here we point out the difference between a travel high chair and a regular high chair. This will help you when deciding on which one is the right high chair for traveling that best suits your needs.
Portability
Travel high chairs are portable and foldable, convenient for family travel. When a family goes to any restaurant or food place, parents can easily keep their baby close and enjoy meals without having the anxiety for their baby’s safety. Additionally, parents may opt to use booster seats, both in regular and travel high chairs to increase height for infants. However, booster seats are too bulky to bring during travels.
Material
Travel versions of high chairs are lighter, with textile and lightweight plastic material composing them. Regular high chairs, on the other hand, are more stable given by the heavier materials that make them. Their use is more suitable at home, especially if the infant is too unruly and uncooperative during eating periods.
Design
There is a wide variety of travel high chair models, including ones made of fabric other than a foldable metal or plastic. These fabric designs come with harnesses so parents could easily wrap their kids to adult chairs. However, these versions are only suitable for heavier infants that have already learned to sit well. There are also kinds of travel high chairs, including some models of fabric high chairs, that lack a tray usually found in regular high chairs.
Choosing the right design of a high chair for the comfortability of your little one is essential in making it easy to care for your baby.
