Framework
"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 the 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 at 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 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.

Detailed Description
A childrens’ high chair, used for feeding a child comfortably for both the caregiver and infant. The seat of the chair is designed higher up in order for the child to be the height of an adult standing, that would make it more comfortable and easy to feed the child. Along with the legs of the chair angle wider at the bottom to increase the stability of the chair for the safety of the child. Most high chairs include a table, sometimes detachable, for food to be on, as well as a barrier for the child so they do not lean forward and fall out of the chair. Armrests and backrest  for support and comfort. Some designs include wheels to make it easier to move across the floor. Commonly made out of plastic or wood.

Types of High Chairs
Zig-Zag chair design by architect Gerrit Rietveld inspired the kinderstoel.

"During 1918, Rietveld concluded that the craftsmanship that went into the construction of the two pieces was a dead end, and from then on took the spatial qualities of furniture as his point of departure. This marked his move from cabinetmaker to spatial artist."
