High Chair Pads
High Chair Pads offer a unique, attractive way to personalize your baby’s high chair. A wide selection of patterns, materials, decorations, and styles gives you an endless array of options to match your home, and your little one, perfectly.
You’ll want to have some basic features when you pick a pad out. Machine washable is almost a must – you’ll be amazed at just how much food your darling manages to get everywhere! Feeding is an adventure and babies really get into it… from head to toe.
Once you’ve made sure the high chair pads you’re looking at are machine washable, the choices get much more personal. You’ll be able to select your basic fabric choices. Most are cotton or a cotton-poly blend. The pads are often filled with a polyester batting, but you may be able to find a natural batting. Several companies offer hypoallergenic batting, and many use a recyclable batting so you can feel good about your purchase.
Two piece high chair pads are nice because they offer a lot of coverage. In generally the entire back of the high chair, as well as the sides and the seat are completely covered. This keeps the wood of the chair cleaner and it provides comfort for your baby. These pads often attach with attractive ties that match the design of the pad. You can also remove the back from your high chair pad and only use the seat cushion if you’re going to be serving a particularly messy meal, or if it’s a hot summer day.
These two-piece high chair pads can often fit on a rocking chair as well, so your child’s bedding, feeding, and play areas can all coordinate. Your little one will love having a comfy pad on their rocking chair!
After you’ve selected the materials you prefer, you get to the fun part. Don’t worry – this is the not the boring task of yester-year. Long gone are the “pink,” “blue,” “green,” “yellow” options (well, you can still get those if you want them!) But there are now stylish and functional high chair covers in every color of the rainbow – and every design you can imagine.
You’ll be able to find stripes, polka-dots, toile, gingham, floral, solids, and more. The best things about these high chair pads – besides the close to infinite variety, is that many of them are made right in the United States, meaning you’re not getting a low-quality import.
And of course, if you want something a little more exotic you can find zebra stripes, love birds, dinosaurs, and monkeys! Did I mention alligator appliques? The range and styles are truly endless. And as we went over above, they’re easy to keep clean – just toss them in the washing machine!
High chair pads add comfort to your baby and allow your wood high chair to look even more stylish and classic as part of the decor of your home. They can easily be changed if they get worn out or badly stained (spaghetti dinner, anyone?) – and you can personalize your high chair for each baby who comes along. They also provide a lovely way to “dress up” and protect your heirloom wood high chair!
