For a 6-month-old baby, sitting time in a high chair should be kept developmentally short. At this age, babies usually can't sit completely independently yet and need chair support. An average meal or play session should not exceed 10-15 minutes. When baby shows signs of tiredness (slumping, head dropping forward, fussiness), they should be removed immediately. Prolonged sitting can strain spine development and cause discomfort. The most important thing in high chair use is ensuring good hip and trunk support so the baby can sit upright. If your baby can't sit unsupported yet, time in the chair shouldn't exceed 5-10 minutes.
