Child safety is a big concern for new parents.  There seem to be so many things to watch out for where a baby is concerned that sometimes it’s easy to overlook hazards that exist in everyday objects.  A baby’s high chair can be dangerous if not used correctly.  Here are some tips for high chair safety:

  • Use the high chair safety belt to keep baby from sliding out of the chair.  There should be a waist strap and another strap which goes between the legs.

  • Make sure the legs are secure and that the chair can’t be rocked.  If it’s a collapsible chair, make sure the legs are locked in place.

  • Keep the tray locked in place.

  • Don’t leave a baby alone in a high chair.

    • A baby only needs to use a high chair for a year or two.  When the baby starts to get big or begins walking, it’s time to stop using the high chair.  This will avoid the chance of baby tipping over the chair.
