Which high chair type fits: convertible, clip on or booster?
Choose by space and by how long you want the chair to last. A convertible such as the Evenflo 4-in-1 Eat & Grow runs through four stages. A clip on chair such as the Inglesina Fast Table Chair clamps to a table. A booster such as the Ingenuity Baby Base straps to a dining chair.
The seven picks below run from the Ingenuity booster to the Maxi-Cosi Minla. The Daisie Compact Highchair comes first because it has the highest star rating of the seven, 5.0 from only 2 ratings, and is sold by Bright AU. The picks map onto the split above: a slim chair, a booster and a clip on chair for space and travel, and convertibles for families who want one chair to last. One of the seven, the Graco Blossom 6-in-1, could not be bought on 17 October 2026. Whatever you choose, always strap your child in, follow the maker's age and weight guidance and never leave a child unattended in the chair. For younger babies, see our baby bouncer guide.

On 17 October 2026 the Amazon AU listings for the Evenflo, Inglesina, Disney and Maxi-Cosi chairs were sold by Amazon US through the Global Store, so they are imports that may differ from local products. Check delivery and product details on the listing before you buy.
Best overall: Daisie Compact Highchair
The Daisie Compact Highchair from Bright by Joie is the best overall pick in this guide because it has the highest star rating of the seven, 5.0 from 2 ratings, and a listing built around small spaces. The listing describes a super slim design that is easy to tote along on your travels, gives the size as 72D x 56W x 99.5H centimetres and the weight as 5.3 kg, and Bright AU is the seller.
For safety and fit the listing names a SoftTouch 5 point harness, a stationary footrest and a tray that slides to four positions, for a child from approximately 6 months to 15 kg. The tray is removable and attaches to the frame of the chair for easier storage.
The honest caveats. The listing shows 5.0 from 2 ratings, so treat the rating as an early signal rather than a track record. The 15 kg limit is lower than the 50 pound figures on the Evenflo and Disney listings, so the chair may be outgrown sooner. The listing does not describe a fold, a washable seat pad or a dishwasher safe tray, so plan to wipe it down after meals. Always fasten the harness and never leave your child unattended.
Evenflo 4-in-1 Eat & Grow High Chair
The Evenflo 4-in-1 Eat & Grow is a convertible with 4.7 stars from 10,145 ratings. The listing sets out four stages: infant high chair, baby dining chair with tray, toddler stand alone chair, then a big kid table and chair, so it changes shape as your child grows. It has a 5 point safety harness and a machine washable seat pad, and the bullet points list use from approximately 6 months up to 50 lbs.
The description adds a removable and washable tray and a 5 point harness that can be removed in stage 3 or 4, and it gives a lower limit of 40 lb for the infant stage, so check the box for the limit that applies. The product information gives 55.2D x 61W x 94H centimetres and 5.26 kg, and the listing does not describe a fold, so plan storage space between stages. On 17 October 2026 this Amazon AU listing was sold by Amazon US through the Global Store, so it is an import that may differ from local products. Check delivery and product details before you buy, and always fasten the harness.
Inglesina Fast Table Chair
The Inglesina Fast Table Chair suits a feeding seat that travels. The listing says it attaches to tables up to 3.5 inches thick with twist tight couplings, keeps tables scratch free, and has a collapsible and foldable design with a built in carry bag for home, restaurants or camping. It holds 4.7 stars from 6,262 ratings. Pair it with our travel stroller guide for flights.
It has a high backrest and an extra padded seat, a rear storage pocket and a washable cover, is free of regulated BPA, lead and phthalates, and is designed for ages 6 to 36 months and up to 37 lbs. The harness is a three point harness, so clamp it only to a solid, stable table, fasten it each time and never leave your child unattended in it. The product information gives 27.9D x 35.6W x 43.2H centimetres and 1.91 kg. On 17 October 2026 this Amazon AU listing was sold by Amazon US through the Global Store, so it is an import that may differ from local products.
Maxi-Cosi Minla 6-in-1 High Chair
The Maxi-Cosi Minla 6-in-1 suits families who want one seat to last from the first solids to a child stool. The listing says six modes carry it from infant high chair through feeding and dining boosters to a supportive stool, with 9 height, 5 recline and 4 tray positions. EcoCare fabric is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles and is liquid repellent, the zip off seat pad goes in the washing machine and the removable snack tray in the dishwasher. It holds 4.7 stars from 1,901 ratings.
The product information gives 86.4D x 58.4W x 109.2H centimetres, 11.16 kg and a maximum weight recommendation of 22.68 kg, and the description calls it a slim, compact fold. At 11.16 kg it is heavier than the Daisie and the Evenflo, and the listing does not state a harness type, so check the box. On 17 October 2026 this Amazon AU listing was sold by Amazon US through the Global Store, so it is an import that may differ from local products. Always use the harness and set the recline and height to suit your child's age.
What about Kmart, IKEA, Mocka and Stokke?
Searchers in Australia also ask about IKEA, Kmart, Mocka, Stokke Tripp Trapp, Bugaboo, UPPAbaby, Redsbaby, Baby Bjorn and Joie. This guide ranks only chairs we can check on an Amazon AU listing, so we do not rank those names. CHOICE and Product Safety Australia both publish high chair guides, so read them before you buy any chair.
If an adjustable footrest matters most to you, read the high chair safety section below and check the footrest on any chair you consider.
How to match the high chair to your home
The single biggest mistake is buying for the kitchen you imagine rather than the one you have. Start with the size and weight table below, then hold a tape measure against your kitchen. If floor space is tight or you move around a lot, compare the listed sizes: the Inglesina Fast Table Chair and the Ingenuity Baby Base list the two smallest sizes, and the Daisie lists a super slim design. If you have room for a permanent feeding station and want one chair to last, a convertible such as the Evenflo 4-in-1 or the Maxi-Cosi Minla 6-in-1 grows with your child.
Sizes and weights below are the product information figures on each Amazon AU listing. The Graco Blossom is left out because it could not be bought on 17 October 2026.
| Chair | Size D x W x H (cm) | Weight | Age and weight limit | Harness |
|---|
| Daisie Compact Highchair | 72 x 56 x 99.5 | 5.3 kg | Approximately 6 months to 15 kg | 5 point |
| Ingenuity Baby Base | 40.9 x 37.1 x 41.9 | 2.06 kg | Supports up to 33 lbs | 3 point, named in the description |
| Evenflo 4-in-1 Eat & Grow | 55.2 x 61 x 94 | 5.26 kg | Bullet points: approximately 6 months up to 50 lbs. Description: 40 lb for the infant stage | 5 point |
| Inglesina Fast Table Chair | 27.9 x 35.6 x 43.2 | 1.91 kg | Ages 6 to 36 months, up to 37 lbs | 3 point |
| Disney Simple Fold Plus | 72.4 x 59.7 x 98.4 | 4.99 kg | From 6 months up to 50 pounds | Not stated in the listing |
| Maxi-Cosi Minla 6-in-1 | 86.4 x 58.4 x 109.2 | 11.16 kg | Maximum weight recommendation 22.68 kg | Not stated in the listing |
How long the chair lasts is the other deciding factor. The Disney Simple Fold Plus listing describes no stages, so it does the high chair job and then retires, while the Evenflo and Maxi-Cosi listings describe stages that keep going as toddler seats and boosters. Be realistic about how many children you are feeding and how long you want to keep the chair. When your child outgrows the booster, our learning tower guide or kids step stool guide covers the next step, and once they feed themselves the sippy cup guide covers the cup. It is the same calculation as the pram and the baby monitor, the other two big first year purchases where a bigger purchase only pays off if you use every stage.
The 90-90-90 rule and high chair safety
The rule feeding therapists use is 90-90-90: hips at 90 degrees, knees at 90 degrees and ankles at 90 degrees, with the feet flat on a surface rather than dangling. A child whose feet are supported sits steadier, which is the argument for a footrest that suits your child. Of the picks here, the Daisie lists a stationary footrest, which does not move. The Ingenuity and Inglesina listings describe no footrest, which is a real trade for the space they save.
On safety, this page does not claim any chair meets an Australian standard, because the bullet points we read do not state one. Product Safety Australia publishes a high chairs guide; read it and check recalls before you buy. The things worth checking yourself are the same on every chair: a harness you will fasten every time, a base wide enough that the chair does not tip when a toddler pushes back, a tray that locks rather than clips, no gap a leg can slide through, and wheels that lock if the chair has them. Read our car seat guide before the other big purchase of the first year.
What the key specs actually mean
A few details do most of the work when you compare these chairs. The harness is the first: a 5 point harness holds the shoulders, waist and between the legs, as listed for the Daisie and the Evenflo; a 3 point harness holds the waist and between the legs, as listed for the Inglesina and the Ingenuity booster. Stages tell you how long the chair lasts: the Evenflo lists four stages and the Maxi-Cosi six modes, while a chair with no stages does the high chair job and stops there.
- Booster seat: a harnessed seat that straps onto an adult dining chair or sits on the floor, with no frame of its own to adjust. The Ingenuity listing says it can be used as a floor seat.
- Convertible high chair: one chair that changes mode as the child grows. The Evenflo lists four stages and the Maxi-Cosi six modes.
- Clip on table chair: a seat that clamps to a table edge instead of standing on the floor. The Inglesina attaches to tables up to 3.5 inches thick.
- 5 point and 3 point harness: a 5 point harness holds the shoulders, waist and between the legs; a 3 point harness holds the waist and between the legs.
- 90-90-90: hips, knees and ankles each at 90 degrees with the feet supported.
- Stationary footrest: a footrest that does not move. The Daisie listing uses the term.
Tray and seat cleaning matter more than they sound, because every meal makes a mess. A dishwasher safe tray and a machine washable seat pad save real time: the Evenflo, Maxi-Cosi, Disney and Ingenuity listings name one or both. Fold and footprint decide where the chair lives: a fold that stands on its own like the Disney's, a carry bag like the Inglesina's, a strap on booster like the Ingenuity's or a slim frame like the Daisie's each saves space in a different way. Read harness type, stages, cleaning and footprint together and any product page starts to make sense.
How we chose these high chairs
We build each pick from the Amazon AU listing for that chair: its title, bullet points, product information table and description, together with the seller line and any Global Store notice shown in the buy box. Specs come from the maker's bullet points and the product information on each listing, and ratings and counts come from the Amazon AU listing. We leave out any feature the listing does not state. We do not lab test chairs and we do not claim any chair meets an Australian standard. The best overall pick is the highest rated chair sold by Amazon AU or Bright AU, and a thin review count is shown as it is. Last checked: 17 October 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best high chair in Australia?
The Daisie Compact Highchair is the best overall pick: a slim chair rated 5.0 from only 2 ratings, with a 5 point harness and a stationary footrest, sold by Bright AU. The Evenflo 4-in-1 has 4.7 from 10,145 ratings, but on 17 October 2026 it was sold by Amazon US through the Global Store.
What is the best high chair for small spaces?
Check the listed size and weight. The Daisie Compact Highchair lists 72D x 56W x 99.5H centimetres, 5.3 kg and a super slim design that is perfect for small spaces. If floor space is tight, the Ingenuity Baby Base booster straps onto a dining chair and has no frame, and the Inglesina Fast Table Chair clamps to a table.
What is the best high chair for a grandparents house?
Pick something light that stores away. The Daisie Compact Highchair weighs 5.3 kg and its listing calls it easy to tote along on your travels. The Ingenuity Baby Base booster straps onto a dining chair and can be used as a floor seat. The Inglesina Fast Table Chair has a collapsible design with a built in carry bag.
What is the weight limit for high chairs?
Each listing states its own limit: the Daisie 15 kg, Evenflo 50 lbs (40 lb for the infant stage), Disney 50 pounds, Inglesina 37 lbs, Ingenuity 33 lbs and Maxi-Cosi 22.68 kg. Never go past the limit printed for your model.
Convertible, clip on or booster: which high chair should I buy?
Choose by space and by how long you want the chair to last. A convertible such as the Evenflo 4-in-1 runs through four stages. A clip on chair such as the Inglesina Fast Table Chair clamps to a table. A booster such as the Ingenuity Baby Base straps to a dining chair.
How do I use a high chair safely?
Fasten the harness at every meal and never leave a child unattended. Do not let your child push off the table or a wall with their feet, which can tip a chair. Follow the maker's age and weight limits, use a clip on chair only on a solid, stable table, and lock any wheels before the meal.
What age can a baby start using a high chair?
The Daisie, Evenflo, Disney and Inglesina listings state 6 months as the start. The signal is development, not a birthday: your baby should sit upright with good head and neck control. The Ingenuity booster listing says it is for babies sitting up, and no listing here states 3 months. Always follow the maker's guidance.
Is a 5 point harness better than a 3 point harness?
A 5 point harness holds the shoulders, waist and between the legs, so for a chair that stands on the floor it is generally the more secure choice. The Daisie and Evenflo listings state one. The Inglesina and the Ingenuity booster list a 3 point harness, which holds the waist and between the legs. Fasten either type snugly at every meal.
Are clip on table chairs safe?
A clip on chair is only as secure as the table it clamps to. The Inglesina attaches to tables up to 3.5 inches thick with twist tight couplings and supports up to 37 lbs. Use only a solid, stable table, clamp it each time, check the fit before sitting your child down, fasten the harness and stay beside them.
How do I keep a high chair clean?
Look for a removable tray and a washable seat. The Evenflo lists a machine washable seat pad, the Maxi-Cosi a machine washable zip off pad and a dishwasher safe snack tray. The Disney and Ingenuity list dishwasher safe trays. The Daisie tray is removable for easy cleaning.
Is a convertible high chair worth it over a simple one?
It depends on how long you need the chair. A simple booster such as the Ingenuity Baby Base seats a baby at the table. A convertible adds stages: the Maxi-Cosi Minla lists 6 modes, 9 heights and 5 recline positions. If you feed one child and storage is tight, a simpler chair may be the better fit.
What is the 90-90-90 rule for high chairs?
It is the seated position feeding therapists aim for: hips, knees and ankles each at 90 degrees, with the feet flat on a footrest rather than dangling. Supported feet give a steadier base, so the footrest should suit your child as they grow. The Daisie lists a stationary footrest; the Ingenuity and Inglesina listings describe no footrest.
What is the safest high chair in Australia?
The safest chair is the one used correctly. Look for a harness you will fasten every time, a base wide enough not to tip, a tray that locks and no gap a leg can slide through. Read Product Safety Australia's high chairs guide and check recalls before you buy. This page does not claim any Australian standard.
Which brand is best for baby high chairs in Australia?
It depends what you want. Among the chairs we could check on Amazon AU, Evenflo makes the 4 stage convertible, Maxi-Cosi the 6 mode chair with 9 heights, Inglesina the clip on and Bright by Joie the slim Daisie. Searchers also ask about IKEA, Kmart, Mocka and Stokke, which we have not ranked here.
When do you stop using a high chair?
Many children move on once they climb in and out unaided, sit through a meal and reach the table from a booster or dining chair. The Inglesina lists use up to 36 months. A convertible such as the Evenflo 4-in-1 changes mode at that point, from toddler chair to big kid table and chair.
