Introduction: Why Feeding Chairs Matter for Kenyan Mums Feeding chairs make all the difference for busy Kenyan
Feeding chairs make all the difference for busy Kenyan mums. Life with a baby is full of beautiful moments, but also plenty of challenges—especially when you’re balancing household chores, work, and family time. Mealtimes can easily become stressful, but a feeding chair helps keep things calm and organized.
But as a mum in Kenya, you likely have plenty of questions: What type of chair should I buy? How safe are they? How much should I budget? This article covers the most frequently asked questions (Feeding chair FAQs) by Kenyan mums so you can make an informed choice.
A feeding chair is a specially designed seat that keeps your baby secure while they eat or drink. Unlike regular chairs, it has safety straps, a tray for food, and a height that makes feeding comfortable for both mum and baby.
Feeding Chairs (General): Any chair designed specifically for feeding babies. A feeding chair is compact, portable, and can be used in different places—it can sit on the floor for playtime or be strapped to a regular dining chair so your little one can join the family at the table.
High Chairs: Tall feeding chairs that allow your baby to sit at table height. High chairs are best for homes with enough space and parents who want the baby to sit at the same height as the dining table.
Boosters: Portable seats you can strap to regular chairs—great for mums in smaller homes or when traveling.
A feeding chair helps establish routine, encourages independent eating, and keeps your baby safe during meals.
Most Kenyan mums introduce feeding chairs when their babies are around 6 months old, which is also when solid foods are typically introduced.

Safety is every mum’s top concern. Thankfully, modern feeding chairs are designed with features to protect your little one.
Five-point harness: Prevents slipping or falling
Sturdy base: Ensures the chair won’t tip over
Lockable wheels: If the chair has wheels, they should lock securely
Food-grade tray material: Easy to clean and safe for babies

Remember: never leave your baby unattended in a feeding chair, no matter how secure it seems.
