Do I absolutely need to buy a high chair? If so, when should I get it ready?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Buying a high chair isn't required but it makes the solids transition much easier. Your baby should be ready to sit upright, hold their head steady - typically around 6 months - so have the chair ready by then.

Don't buy it early (4-5 months) if your baby can't sit yet; they won't be able to sit upright in it. Getting it around 6 months when solids start is perfect.

When buying: look for sturdy and wide base (less tipping), easy-clean removable tray, five-point safety harness. Expensive isn't necessary. Alternatives: feeding baby in your lap or using a booster seat on a regular chair also works - what matters is baby sitting upright and safely, not the brand.
