MamaLoop mums pickWe researched this — not used by usNot sponsored
This is the chair we would buy for most families. It does the things that matter for starting solids — a five-point harness, a removable tray, and a footrest that adjusts so your baby's feet are supported and they sit upright — and later converts to a toddler chair at the table. In CHOICE's lab testing, the Anko 2-in-1 wooden model passed key safety tests and was easier to clean than a far more expensive chair; one minor point was that the harness is not permanently attached, so always clip it back in. The version on sale now is listed to the Australian highchair standard; we have not seen independent testing of this exact model yet, so we will re-check when CHOICE does.
