A high chair is a piece of furniture used for feeding older babies and younger toddlers. The seat 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 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.

A booster chair is meant to be used with a regular chair to boost the height of a child sufficiently. Some boosters are a simple monolithic piece of plastic. Others are more complex and are designed to fold up and include a detachable tray.

Rarely, a chair can be suspended from the edge of the table avoiding the need for an adult chair or a high chair.

Potential accidents
Researchers discovered a rise in high chair accidents—8,926 to 10,930 annually from 2003 to 2010—finding children’s injuries using a national database. Their findings have shown that children under two years of age made up more than 75% of the related injuries. Further, they found that more boys were injured than girls, and that head, neck and face injuries accounted for upwards of 86% of high chair accidents.
