A high chair is a free-standing piece of furniture used for feeding older babies and younger toddlers. It has a seat that is raised a fair distance from the ground, so that a person of adult height may spoon-feed the child comfortably from a standing position (hence the name). It often has a wide base to increase stability. There is also a tray which is attached to the arms of the high chair, which allows the adult to place the food on it for either the child to pick up and eat or for the food to be spoon-fed to them.

High chairs were commonly created and manufactured between the 17th and 18th centuries.
