Starting solids is exciting — but it’s also one of the first times many parents realize just how many safety questions come with mealtime.
Should you choose a 3-point or 5-point harness? Are hook-on high chairs actually safe? When should you stop using the straps? Can babies really fall out of high chairs?
If you’ve found yourself Googling any of these, you’re in the right place. This guide covers what actually matters for high chair safety — grounded in the federal safety standards, not marketing claims — plus the mistakes most likely to lead to injuries and what to do if your chair gets recalled.
Also, please note! In light of my maternity leave, I’m running a 40% off promotion on new Recall Mom email subscriptions for anyone who’s been thinking about joining.
