We set out to find the best highchair on the market, and after weeks of extensive testing we've declared the Cosatto 3Sixti2 as our Mumsnet Best highchair 2018.

We choose our top products based on Mumsnetters’ recommendations and our Talk boards, as well as which products are being searched for most on Google. We also look at new releases, meaning we give new products a level playing field to compete on with old favourites. You can read more about our testing process here.

Take a look at our reviews page to see which highchairs we rate. Do you agree with our choices? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Afternoon, folks. We've given our Reviews team a nudge so hopefully they'll pop back and be able to answer all of your questions more fully.

In the meantime though, just in case you hadn't seen it, we thought we'd post a link to this page on how we test, which is part of that big page on Best Highchairs. That might answer some of your questions about how we decided which products got which awards. The Ikea Antilop did win in the Best Budget buy category, so we're pleased to see so many of you saying you also love it.

If you scroll down on that main page, here, you can see all the winning highchairs - there are five in the category.

Hello all,

Thanks for your feedback on our Best Highchairs reviews category. This is a new area of the site, and we really value your input to help us to get it right.

The Antilop is a favourite on Mumsnet for good reason! which is why we included it in our testing. After researching recommendations on the Mumsnet boards, looking at market bestsellers, and finding new products from trustworthy brands, we put the top 10 highchairs on the market through our real life testing process. This involved an experienced parent using each chair for a week, including standardised tests such as the drop test (each chair was dropped 20 times to assess its resilience to being knocked over) and the bolognese test (splodges of bolognese spilled onto the chair to find out how easy it was to clean).

We then scored each chair on the following six categories: safety and stability, assembly, day-to-day usage, cleanliness, aesthetics, and value for money. The chair with the highest overall score was the Cosatto, which is why it's our overall winner.

The Antilop also scored highly, which is why we awarded it Mumsnet Best for Budget. You can read the review here.
