About this guide
Counter-height tables need a high chair whose seat height and foot support position a child safely at the family surface. A standard high chair can be too low at a 34–36 inch counter, while a clip-on chair depends entirely on a compatible, stable tabletop. Measure first and follow the maker’s age, weight and attachment rules.

Buying tips
- Measure the tabletop height and compare it with the child seat height, not just the chair’s overall height.
- A footrest that supports the feet helps a child sit more steadily.
- Never use a hook-on chair on a loose, glass, pedestal or otherwise unapproved surface.
