How to Swap to Non-Toxic high chairs:
Here's how to swap to non-toxic high chairs:
What to know about high chairs
High chairs are where your baby sits daily, often for extended periods, with direct skin contact and proximity to their mouth. Welpr focuses on the materials a high chair is made from — the wood or plastic used in the frame, any foam padding, and the finishes or coatings applied to surfaces.
- Babies touch, chew on, and press bare skin against high chair surfaces, so the materials and finishes matter more than with most furniture.
- Look beyond the frame — trays, straps, and seat cushions each introduce different materials that are worth checking.
Review the high chair you already have
Check the product listing or manufacturer's website for details on what your high chair is made of. Focus on the frame material, any finishes or paints, the tray material, and whether there is foam padding or fabric.
- For wooden high chairs, look for mentions of low-VOC or zero-VOC finishes and water-based paints — if the finish type isn't listed, contact the brand directly.
- For plastic high chairs, check whether the manufacturer states the product is BPA-free and PVC-free, and look for any third-party certifications on the product page.
Use your current high chair more safely
If your high chair doesn't check every box, a few small changes can reduce what your baby is exposed to while you plan your next purchase.
- Place a clean organic cotton cloth or cover over the seat and tray to create a barrier between your baby's skin and plastic or treated surfaces.
- If the chair is new, let it air out in a well-ventilated room for several days before your baby starts using it to help reduce any off-gassing from finishes or foam.
Choose a cleaner high chair
Welpr looks for high chairs made from solid wood with low- or zero-VOC finishes, ideally backed by third-party certifications. If foam is used in the seat, it should be CertiPUR-US® or GREENGUARD certified to ensure it is free from flame retardants, VOCs, and formaldehyde.
- Choose solid wood frames with water-based finishes over plastic, and food-grade trays that are BPA-free and PVC-free — be cautious of vague claims like "non-toxic" without certifications to back them up.
