Theleg stropper keeps the baby in the chair and allows you not to worry that the baby will slip between the tabletop and the seat and fall out of the chair, which is fraught with bruises and injuries. Today, these types of stoppers are used:

— Plastic. The most common type of stopper is a ledge on the seat or a partition between the seat and the tabletop. It can be fixed or removable, but is usually not adjustable. It is not considered appropriate for boys, so it is worth looking for a chair with a removable stopper or harness (see below).

— Wooden. Rigid stoppers, generally similar to the plastic ones described above, but used in highchairs made of wood (see "Material") — mainly for aesthetic reasons.

— Metall. Another analogue of the plastic stopper used in chairs, the bases of which are also made of metal. The advantages of this material over plastic are high durability and solid appearance. However, it costs considerably more, and the difference in durability is not great enough to compensate for the difference in price. Therefore, this option is rare.

— Harness. Harnesses are less common than plastic. On the other hand, they are softer and can be removed, which makes such chairs more appropriate for boys. In addition, in convertible highchairs (see "Type"), harnesses are usually used due to design features.

The option to use the highchair as a rocking chair provides versatility for entertainment or soothing a baby, enhancing overall comfort. This functionality can be achieved through removable curved skids or a swing-like design. Choosing a chair with a rocking function eliminates the need for a separate rocking chair.
