Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentBecause publications' high chair reviews can be out of date, owner-opinion websites are valuable. The parent reviews at Amazon.com are mostly thorough and sometimes cautionary. The Fisher-Price Rainforest and Space Saver high chairs are among those that receive both high ratings and a large number of reviews.

Best High Chairs
by Melissa Gould and Ellie Miller
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentMelissa Gould and Ellie Miller run a baby-planning consultancy and select their favorite picks in a number of baby-product categories on Tibesti.com, including high chairs. While the reviews are brief and aren't ranked in order of performance, a bulleted list of features is included and the authors' extensive experience with parents and babies lends credibility to their choices. However, the Tibesti list doesn't appear to factor price into their evaluations and the majority of their recommended seats cost more than $200.

Reader-Tested High Chairs
by Editors of Parents.com
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentThis site has very brief reviews from a family perspective. The Fisher-Price Healthy Care was tested by Leah and David Goymer with Sarah, 14 months; Andrew, 5; and Philip, 9, from Nampa, Idaho. This is undated, but it seems to be an older review, since there is a complaint about the shoulder straps being hard to clean. Fisher-Price corrected that issue a couple of years ago by making the straps removable and washable.
