High chair
"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.

Design
There is a tray which is optionally 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.

Beginning in the Victorian era convertible high chairs came equipped with wheels on near the bottom of legs which allowed the high chair to be transformed into a rocker.

Convertible high chairs also grew or shrunk in height, allowing the chair to be malleable to the child's age.

Potential accidents
High chairs can result in child-related accidents both minor and fatal.

Accidents most commonly happen the younger the child is usually caused by falling off the chair itself. This often results in brain injury or skull damage to the child. Harnessing, if not properly maintained or assembled, can result in asphyxiation and strangling

Safety standards
The EU standard EN 14988:2017+A1:2020 has been published in 2020 by the European Committee for Standardization.

The United States Federal Register on the Safety Standard for High Chairs has been published as of 2018 A Rule by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

There are a number of additional safety features which are issued on or come available with high chairs in order to improve the harnessing and stability of the child user. Restraints are common around the crotch area which secures the child between the thighs. Food safety concerns also arise due to the dietary application of the high chair. Modern high chairs made from plastic material prevent against stains, odors, and food-borne illnesses (Rowe)
