How can I keep my baby safe in their highchair?
Always strap them in with the harness properly.
We recommend that when you put your baby into the highchair that you strap them in securely every time. Even if your kettle’s boiling, even if your phone goes and you want to check your message, strap them in first. This is because your baby can take you by surprise. He’ll learn to lift himself up and he can fall out of the highchair quite quickly.
Your baby can suffer serious head injuries if he falls from his highchair on the floor. So get into the habit of strapping your baby into the highchair every time.
