Comparison Peg Perego Siesta vs Inglesina Zuma

The ability to change the distance between your own tabletop and the back of the chair. Adjusting the tabletop allows you to adjust its position so that your baby will be as comfortable as possible to sit in the chair.

The number of individual levels on which the seat of the high chair can be installed. The more such levels, the wider the possibilities for choosing the installation height and the more accurately you can choose the height for specific conditions.

The number of positions in which the adjustable (see above) highchair backrest can be installed. The more such positions, the wider the possibilities for adjusting the backrest.

The tilt of the footrest can be adjusted in relation to the seat itself. This adjustment provides the possibility to change the position of the baby's legs according to different situations. This is especially convenient considering that sitting in one position for a long time tires the knees - to relax them, you can adjust the footrest. The tilt adjustment is also useful for babies who sometimes sleep in the seat.

The number of levels the adjustable footrest can be set to (see above). The more such levels, the wider the adjustment possibilities and the more accurately you can adjust the height of the footrest.

— Removable tabletop. The ability to remove the chair's own tabletop, turning it into a regular seating area. This feature will come in handy when the child grows up and can be seated at a regular table.

— Removable tray. The removable tray in highchairs is usually installed on the tabletop and follows the same shape as the tabletop. This accessory can make life much easier for parents: for example, if the tray gets dirty after a meal, it can be quickly removed and washed, while the tabletop can be used for the child's playtime.

— Tabletop with edge. Tabletop equipped with a convex edge around the perimeter. This reduces the risk that the child will drop the dishes on the floor, accidentally hitting them; in addition, spilled liquid from such a tabletop will not fall on the floor, and it will be much easier to clean it up. Most modern chairs have a tabletop with an edge.

— Harnesses. Special harnesses that secure your child to the seat. Thus, you can safely remove the tabletop, leg stoppers, etc., without worrying that a baby will jump out of the chair (which, given the high height, is fraught with troubles).

— Lockable wheels. Highchairs on wheels are convenient for moving within the apartment, however, on the other hand, they can move from the slightest push. The...wheel locks allow the chair to be positioned securely and prevent accidental movement.

— Toy basket. A special container for toys provided in the design of a highchair; may be a basket itself, a tray or even a fabric bag. It is usually placed under the seat. Such a basket makes it possible to always have a set of toys on hand to cheer up the baby if he or she cries or gets moody.

— Lying position. The backrest of the highchair can be set horizontally, turning it into a carrycot. This allows the chair to be used from the first days of the baby's life, when he/she is not yet able to sit up (chairs without this function are suitable for kids from about 6 months of age). Theoretically, such a carrycot can even replace a crib in the first months of life, although later a separate sleeping place is needed anyway.

— Arc with toys. A special arc that is placed above the chair seat. Such toys are designed to entertain babies, and therefore the arc is usually mounted on the chairs that provide for conversion into a carrycot (see the relevant paragraph above). For feeding, the arc can be removed.

— Metal. The most popular material for modern highchairs - this is primarily due to the high durability and reliability of metal at a low cost. It is used for most full-size highchairs (see "Type"), except for convertible ones.

— Wood. Wood in highchairs is almost as durable as metal, but it can weigh considerably more. The main advantage of this material is that it is pleasant to the touch. For this reason, wood is widely used primarily in convertible highchairs (see "Type"), where the base when unfolded plays the role of a table for the baby.

— Plastic. The lightest of all types of materials for modern chairs, in addition, it is inexpensive, but at the same time the least durable. It is used mainly in folding models and in boosters, for which light weight is important.

In addition to those described above, there are also combined models, using a combination of metal and plastic. This provides the main advantages of both materials — good durability and low weight.
