A Guide to Mocka's Highchairs

Looking for a new highchair can be a daunting experience with so many options out there, each with so many different features. Because of this, it can be difficult to know which is the best highchair for you. To help make your decision that little bit easier, we have put together a quick guide to our Mocka highchairs. Check it out!

Tray vs. Trayless

There is often a lot of confusion over the whole trayless highchair or a highchair with a tray debate. To completely sit on the fence, we love both options and value the benefits either can add to the life of a parent. Our Original Highchair and Designer Highchair come with a feeding tray and is exceptionally good as a first chair as your child grows. Use from six months onwards, the tray provides a handy surface to place food while you feed your baby. It is also very convenient for your child to have their food right in front of them - especially as they explore food not only by taste but by touch, which can be messy business! A feeding tray allows you to contain any mess on one surface that can then be easily wiped over.

Our Soho Highchair does not have a feeding tray and is designed to be used up against a dining table. This is a fantastic chair for when little ones begin feeding themselves and is a great way to let them join in with the family at meal times – which really helps to develop social skills and allows quality bonding time with the whole family.

Style

A highchair is an item that is used every day. Therefore, not only do you want a Highchair that is super safe and practical, you also want a highchair that is wonderfully stylish as well. Both the Soho and Original Highchairs are made from solid beech wood frame giving them the look and feel of a normal dining room chair. The Soho is also available in Natural, White and Black which is great for matching your highchair to your current dining room décor be in modern, beach, Scandi or otherwise inspired.

Cleanability

Our highchairs are super easy to clean. A quick wipe over with a damp cloth and you are all ready to go. The sealed wood of the Soho and Original Highchair makes it clean and hygienic and there is no need to remove parts to get into crevices. Our Designer Highchair is undoubtedly a mess-no-fuss chair with the moulded plastic seat and tray and makes cleaning a simple task. The highchairs also come inclusive with a set of highchair cushions which can be easily hand-washed time and again.

Adjustable 

Our Highchairs are a fantastic long-term investment,  suiting from first solids through to first days at school and beyond. With our Original Highchair and Soho Highchair the seat and footboards are fully adjustable with multiple heights allowing you to lower and lengthen to suit growing wee ones. The tray and toddler bar can also be removed once no longer required.  Our Designer Highchair’s legs and tray can be completely removed making it super easy to transport and store when not in use. The Designer Highchair also has a padded insert offering additional back and side support for smaller babies starting out which can be removed once little ones learn to sit up straight and tall.

As an added bonus all of our highchairs also come with a safety harness to secure around the shoulders and waist. These are adjustable as your child grows and learns to sit supported by themselves. All of this means our highchairs are safe and comfortable and do a lot of growing – just like your little one!
