Buying a second-hand high chair can be budget-friendly, but there are several important points you need to pay attention to:

Safety equipment must be complete: The five-point safety harness (shoulder, waist, and between the legs) must be in working order and not worn. Three-point harnesses are not adequate for babies under 6 months; for older babies, a five-point harness is also more secure against tipping.

Base and legs must be sturdy: The chair should have a solid base against tipping — especially check if there are wide legs on the front to prevent tipping.

Tray and plastic parts: If there are cracks, breaks, or moldy plastic parts (tray edges, under-seat area, harness buckle area), don't buy it. Food residue and mold on surfaces where babies put things in their mouth cannot be cleaned.

User manual and label: Second-hand items usually lose the manual. Get the brand and model number, check the manufacturer's website for safety warnings and product recall lists.

Most common recommendation: If your budget allows, buy new, especially for comfort about safety harness and tipping standards. If not, make the above checks and buy from someone you trust or from clean, well-known brands (for example, Ikea Antilop, a simple and safe model).
