Your questions answered
When can my baby start using a high chair?
Most babies are ready around 6 months, when they can sit up with support. This is usually when you start introducing solids. Some chairs have a recline option for starting a little earlier. Always check the guidelines for the specific chair you choose.
What is the 90-90-90 position and why does it matter?
It means hips, knees, and ankles each at 90 degrees when your child is seated. This supports their posture, keeps them stable at the table, and reduces choking risk. An adjustable footrest is the easiest way to achieve it as your child grows, and it is especially important when starting solids or baby led weaning.
What safety features should I look for?
A five-point harness, a crotch post to prevent sliding, non-slip feet, and a stable base. All Moose high chairs meet NZ and AU safety standards.
What is the difference between the Moose high chairs?
Each one suits a slightly different need. The Sinclair is a straightforward, no-fuss option. The Frankie folds flat for easy storage. The Harper has a double tray and adjustable footrest. The TED converts to a toddler stool for longer use. Compare all models here.
How do I keep a high chair clean?
Look for a removable tray you can take to the sink and a seat that wipes down quickly. Fewer seams and crevices makes a big difference at the end of a messy meal.
When do kids stop using a high chair?
Most children transition out around 2 to 3 years. A chair that converts to a toddler stool, like the TED, extends the life of your purchase.
