1. Safety - all seats that you are may be considering purchasing must pass British Safety Standards. Look to check for the DD ENV 1178 and BS 5799 mark . If the chair does not include this then do not buy it.

2. 5 point Harn - look for a seat with a 5 point harness, this will provide the highest level of security for an infant, preventing them from potentially slipping out of the chair and attempting to stand, which is clearly a potential hazard.

3. Wipe Clean - find a seat that specifically states that it is wipe clean and for added ease of use find a seat with a detachable feeding tray which you can put through the dishwasher.

4. Storage - a seat that can be easily folded to a compact size is a must as this will allow for easy storage and transportation.

5. Comfort - look out for a seat which states it is "deep padded". These seats offer the highest level of comfort for an infant.

6. Entertainment - to keep your child engaged during mealtimes look out for a seat that has a character toy bar.

7. Wooden High Chairs - although being very stylish and also very durable these seats can sometimes be tricky to store due to be less compatible than other plastic and metal chairs. This means that you will need a set space for storage. If this may be problematic for you then consider looking into the possibilities of another type of seat.

8. Stability - a seat with a wider base is always preferable in terms of safety as this will mean that it will be more stable and less likely to tip over.

9. Storage Basket - finding a chair with a storage basket will let you keep everything you and your baby need at your fingertips.

10. Locking Device - a seat which includes a locking device will help to prevent collapsing. Also look out for a seat with a lockable tray as this will help to avoid further potential hazards.
