Booster chair vs High chair: Which is better?

This is not a debate which has got a clear cut winner but an opinion solely based on my personal experience.

Baby gears of all forms often comes as a rescue for most of the independent moms out there. Of all the products that’s available in the market, my vote goes for booster seats and of course baby car seats.

Now I am going to tell you about booster seat and high chair, which is better..

The purpose of both the chairs are same ie to aid in baby led weaning easier. They get to explore food and taste independently in a safe manner. Both these chairs has got 3 point safety harness system. High chair looks like a tall baby chair with tall legs and feeding trays, some of these has provisions to be converted into low chairs as well. Babies can be accommodated during family meals and they will also feel as an individual and excited to taste the family food as well. This is a great way to induce baby led weaning and make them independent and to get an affinity towards family food.

Booster chair/ seats are compact adjustable seats which can be strapped into our normal dining chairs. They too have dining trays, 3 point safety harness and provision to adjust height suiting our needs. The plus point is that it is portable and easy to carry around. You can carry them even in restaurants and need not miss the chance of occasional outings with the family. They provide all the features of high chairs as well.

So my vote definitely goes for booster seats and got it one for myself from the brand chicco. Bought it 5 years back, still the product is so good and I’m happy that I’m able to reuse it now.

For those of you who are still confused, don’t worry – these days convertible high chairs are also available which can be used as high chair, low/floor chair and booster chair. Voilà! Hope things are sorted out now. Do what suits you the best. The decision is yours.
