Safety comes first when choosing a highchair. Our test of 8 models found the effectiveness of the safety restraints varied.
A child shouldn't be able to stand up in, climb out of, or knock over a highchair. As well, the highchair needs to be able to stand up to kicking, spills and repeated cleaning.
We tested the safety, construction and ease-of-use of the highchairs. We also explain what to look for when you're choosing one.

your article on car insurance, I contacted one of the companies you recommended, who quoted her $318 for the same
