New Federal High Chair Standards

|Updated:

High chairs are supposed to keep your child safe, but between 2015 and 2016 there were an estimated 18,500 high chair-related injuries treated in US hospital emergency departments, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

Most of the incidents were due to falls when the child attempted to climb into or out of the high chair, causing it to tip over.
