# Best High Chairs For Small Spaces


**Have a low footprint.**

If you’re seriously tight on space, looking to an option that’s primarily designed for travelling and meals out can open up a whole new world. The trick is to make sure it’s [durable enough](https://chairsteam.com/best-high-chairs-for-small-spaces/) for frequent use, as well as small when in use and quick to pack away. The sturdy Lobster fits that bill perfectly. It has no legs to get in the way when it use and is fast to set up.

Like a few other high chairs on our list, this one has a pretty large footprint. It’s also on the heavier side. There’s also a tray liner, which is great for managing messes, but just be sure you’re removing it to clean and dry it thoroughly (along with the lower portion of the tray) after every use to avoid any built-up dirt or mold.

Have a comfortable padding.
Space. Do you live in a smaller space and eat most of your meals around a tiny table? Then a booster-style seat that straps right onto one of your chairs or one that clips to a counter may be right for you. Do you have a larger table, or live in a home with multiple eating areas? Then a standalone seat that comes with its own tray and can easily be moved from room to room may be your best bet.

There are a few major drawbacks of this seat. There’s no footrest and the tray is difficult to remove (many parents just leave it on). The safety buckle clips at the waist, which may not offer enough support for younger infants compared to a five-point harness. To add more comfort to the basic surface, buy IKEA’s support cushion and cover or find other cushions and a footrest at Yeah Baby Goods.

Have a good reclining angle.
Always, and we do mean always, strap your kid into his or her high chair. And position it so it’s away from the kitchen counter, so kiddos don’t push at it and tip themselves over. If you use a high chair that hooks onto a table, make sure the chair locks securely onto the table and can support the weight of the child.

In this position—with an adult arm around the baby’s waist and bottom planted firmly on the adult’s lap—the adult provides strong back support for upright sitting, as well as stability at the trunk and hips. Optionally, you can allow baby to straddle one thigh and let baby’s feet firmly plant on the chair.
