Baby feeding chair safety belt?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Using a safety belt on the feeding chair is very important. The five-point safety belt (passing through shoulders, waist, and between legs) is the safest option. The baby should be buckled in every time they sit — even for just a few seconds. Without a belt, the baby can slip, try to stand up, or fall forward.

The five-point belt buckle should be of a type the baby cannot unfasten on their own. Shoulder straps should be positioned at or just below the baby's shoulder level, and the belt at the waist should not be left too loose — ideally, one finger should fit comfortably in the space. Models without five-point belts (only waist belt) are not safe from 6-8 months onwards because the baby can bend forward with their upper body.

There is also a common mistake of using the tray as a safety feature while the belt is fastened — the tray is not a substitute for the belt; it's only for food.
