My baby runs away when they see the high chair and refuses to sit. How can I make them love the chair?

Resistance to the high chair usually appears after a few months and is often related to the chair feeling restrictive or mealtime becoming a stressful moment. To help them warm up to it, try using the chair away from meals for a few days: place it in the kitchen near a play area, let them sit in it for short periods with a favorite toy inside, and play eye-to-eye games with them while they're in the chair. Make mealtime completely pressure-free — offer a couple of choices, don't insist on eating. Within 1-2 weeks things should improve; if not, it's worth checking the chair's physical comfort (seat height, footrest support).
