There is no fixed age when children should be out of a High Chair and transition to a Booster Seat. On average, this happens between 16 months and 2 years of age. Your child will indicate when it is ready to make the transition. It's important that the child doesn't exceed the High Chair weight limit…
When a High Chair is no longer an option and your child is not ready yet for an adult chair, it is best to have a look for some alternatives. Nowadays you can find Booster Seats that offer the same amount of support and safety as a High Chair.
Other safety considerations include:
Check that the seat is assembled correctly and complies with standards by theConsumer Product Safety Commission. There’s also the ASTM, and the Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association’s standards.
Ensure that your dining table is heavy for a hook on the booster seat, sufficient not to tip over when supporting your child’s weight.
Avoid attaching the booster seat in a way your child’s feet touch the dining tables supports. Otherwise, they’ll push against these to dislodge their support seating.
Double-check or test that your booster seat locked securely onto the dining chair or table. Thats before putting your child on the booster seat.
Use the safety straps. That includes the middle strap between your child’s legs if your seat has a three-point harness. That’s to prevent slip-outs and falls.
The dining chair to which you’ll attach a booster seat must be sturdy, heavy, and stable with a backrest. Avoid using a bar stool or folding chair.
Never leave your child strapped in the booster seat. When unstrapped, don’t allow them to stand or kneel on it to avoid tipping over.
