  Whether you are trying to get your toddler to sit at the table and eat with the family, or you are looking for a chair where your toddler can sit comfortably and color or play board games, there are some chairs that will fit your toddler's needs. Look for a chair that is child-sized, does not let their legs dangle, and allows them to be at the proper level with the table.
  
  

High Chairs

• High chairs for toddlers must be comfortable and at the level of your table. Toddlers want to be a part of the family meal, and may act out if they are not at the table with everyone else. High chairs such as the Stokke Tripp Trapp and the Svan Youth chair are adjustable and can be pushed right up to the table. Both of these chairs also have a foot rest so your toddler's legs won't dangle. These chairs hold enough weight so that they grow with your child. Consumer Search gives an analysis of the Stokke Tripp Trapp, stating that "many reviewers appreciate that the Tripp Trapp is designed to be placed right at the table, leading to more interaction between a toddler and the rest of the family at mealtime " and noting that most reviews state positive feedback about the adjustability and practicality of the chair.
  
  

Boosters

• Sometimes, a simple booster added to your own kitchen chair is the perfect solution for your toddler. Fisher Price's Healthy Care Booster and the Babysmart Cooshee Classic Booster are great for your toddler because they provide the added lift so your toddler can be at the correct height at the table. These work best for toddlers who don't kick and squirm at the table, because they do not allow your toddler's feet to touch the ground or a footrest.
  
  

Toddler Sized Chairs

• Chairs that are made especially for toddlers are the best option for families that have the space for a toddler sized "kids" table. If you have a few kids, and you want them to eat together at the kids table, choose a table and chair set that is made with little people in mind. Choose high quality sets that are sturdy and safe. Pottery Barn, Lipper and Kidcraft make several wooden sets that are high quality. TAG's wooden table and chair set are have rounded edges which make it an extremely safe set for busy toddlers. Choose a set that fits your child and offers plenty of room for art projects and meals.
