As soon as your child starts eating solid food, get him used to sitting on a high chair. Establish this ritual so he’ll know that he has to sit down and stay put when it’s meal time. This will make it easy for you as he grows bigger. It would be difficult running after an active toddler around the house just to get him to take a bite or open his mouth for a spoonful of food.

When shopping for high chairs, child experts advise parents to look for these features to ensure baby’s safety:~Get a chair with a wide base so it won’t tip ~Choose a chair with a post that goes between the child’s legs to prevent him from sliding out under the tray ~Select a chair with a five-point harness system which consists of a waist belt, a belt that fits between your child’s legs, and shoulder straps.
