Can a 4-month-old baby sit in a high chair?

A high chair is not yet suitable for a 4-month-old baby. Babies can typically move to a high chair around 6 months when head and neck control has fully developed and they can sit upright without support. At 4 months, baby's back and neck muscles aren't strong enough yet; sitting upright in a chair can put excess stress on the spine and creates a fall risk. The safest option during this period is to keep baby lying down, for example in a baby lounger or appropriately angled bouncer. When introducing solid foods, using a high chair requires baby to be able to sit up independently without support.
