Infantso 5 in 1 High Chair Review: Unboxing, Setup and First Impression
This Infantso 5 in 1 high chair review covers what happened when I unboxed and assembled a high chair for my son Aryan at home: why we wanted one once he was eating solids, why I picked Infantso again, what came in the box, how the setup went, and what I thought of the build once it was standing.
It is a first impression, not a long-term test. I filmed the whole thing on the day the chair arrived. How it holds up over months of meals is something I will only know later, and I will share that in future videos.
I bought this chair with my own money. Infantso did not send it and did not pay for this review.
Watch my Infantso high chair unboxing and setup
The video is the main record behind this post. It shows the sealed box, every part coming out, the assembly on my living room floor, close-ups of the wheels, tray, toy bar and basket, and my verdict at the end. Everything I say below about the chair comes from that session.

Why we wanted a high chair once Aryan started solids
When babies start solid food, where they eat matters more than I expected. If you sit them on a bed with the food in front of them, it gets messy quickly. If you never let them try to eat by themselves, they also miss the chance to learn.
A high chair fixes both problems for us. Once the baby is seated, he cannot run off halfway through a meal. If he is hungry, he eats right there. The whole tray sits in front of him, so he can pick things up and feed himself at his own pace.
I also like the small bit of routine it brings. Meals happen in one place, and he grows up with that habit. I am realistic about the mess. Some food will still end up on the chair and the floor in the early months. That is part of starting solids, and a tray in a fixed spot at least keeps it in one area.
If you are at that stage too, the recipes we make for Aryan are on the blog, such as this apple pear suji halwa for babies.
Why I picked Infantso again
This is not my first Infantso product. I had already ordered their baby carrier and their walker, and both were decent, so I went back to the same brand.
My other reason is cost. Babies outgrow almost everything, and a high chair is no different. After a certain age it simply stops being useful. So I did not want to spend a lot on it, but I also did not want something flimsy. I wanted decent quality at a price that does not hurt.
From what I have seen, a reasonable high chair starts somewhere around ₹2,000 to ₹3,000, and there is really no upper limit. You can keep spending, but for something a child uses for a limited time, that does not make much sense to me. This Infantso chair was not very expensive, which is why it made my shortlist. I have not shared the exact price I paid in the video, so I am not quoting one here. Prices on these listings also change often, so check the current price before you buy.
Unboxing: what comes in the box
The chair came in one large cardboard box. I opened it on the living room sofa and laid every part out before starting.
Here is what I found inside, in the order it came out:
- The documents, including an assembly guide.
- A fabric storage basket that fits under the seat for keeping small things.
- Wheels, so the chair can be moved around the room.
- Seat belts.
- The feeding tray.
- The main seat frame.
- Leg extensions.
- The padded seat cover.
- A toy bar that clips onto the tray.
Once the last part was out, the box was empty.
Assembly: how the setup went
The first time you put together something like this, it takes a while to work out what goes where. That was true for me too. I kept the guide open and checked it as I went.
Step 1: the seat frame and backrest
The seat frame comes out mostly in one piece. At the back there is a lever that adjusts the backrest. I lifted it and set the backrest a little more upright, which felt right for a child who is sitting up well.
Step 2: the legs
The legs push into the frame and lock with button-type clips. You press the button, slide the leg in and it clicks into place. After all four were in, the chair could stand on its own.
Step 3: the seat cover
The padded cover slides over the seat frame. At the back there are button-type fasteners that hold it in place. Once it was on, the seat looked finished.
Step 4: the tray
Fitting the tray took me a minute to figure out. Underneath it there are levers. You press them to slide the tray in or out and set it at the distance you want from the child.
Step 5: wheels, basket and the middle bar
I fitted the wheels under the legs so the chair is easy to move between rooms. The basket hangs in the middle, under the seat.
The middle bar is the part I would not skip. Without it, the poles wobble a little. With it in place, the whole chair feels noticeably more solid.
Features I looked at closely
The tray is large
The feeding tray is the first thing I noticed. It is big enough that, as I said in the video, an adult could eat from it. For a baby, that means room to move his hands around without knocking food straight off the edge.
Brakes on all four wheels
Each of the four wheels has its own brake. When the chair is in place for a meal, you lock them so it does not roll. When you want to move it, you release them.
The storage basket
The basket under the seat is handy for bibs, a spoon or a small bag. When I filmed, the manuals were still sitting in it.
The toy bar
The toy bar is meant to keep the baby busy at the table. Aryan is already a little over a year old, so to me it looks like a small thing for his age. Children are curious and move past these toys fast. For a younger baby it might hold attention for longer.
Footrest and folding
There is a small space for the child to rest his feet. The chair also folds from the side. I showed the fold briefly in the video, but I have not folded and unfolded it often enough to say how the mechanism holds up.
The seat belts: a note on safety
The chair comes with seat belts, and I showed them during the unboxing. I had not fitted them when I filmed the finished chair. As I said in the video, Aryan is not one to sit strapped in for long. That is just how our day went, so please do not copy it.
The guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics says to use the safety straps, including the crotch strap, whenever your child sits in a high chair, never to let the child stand in it, to keep the chair away from counters and tables the child could push against, and never to leave a young child alone in it. It also says that if a chair folds, you should check it is locked each time you set it up, which matters here because this one folds from the side.
I am a parent sharing my experience, not a safety expert. Follow the manufacturer’s manual for your model and talk to your paediatrician if you have questions about your own child.
Build quality: my honest first impression
Overall, the quality looks fine to me. Most of the chair feels sturdy. A couple of the plastic parts feel a little light in the hand, and I want to be upfront about that.
That said, I think about how long a child actually uses a high chair. In our case, maybe six months to a year. By the time a child is around one and a half to two years old, he usually sits and eats normally like everyone else. For that time frame, a chair that is sturdy without being expensive made more sense to me than paying a lot more for heavier materials.
The one thing I would point out to anyone assembling it: fit the middle bar. It is what turns a slightly wobbly frame into a solid one.
What I could confirm and what is still untested
| Point | What I could confirm | What remains untested |
|---|---|---|
| Assembly | Done at home with the guide; slow the first time, but manageable | How long it takes someone without a guide |
| Stability | Slight wobble without the middle bar; sturdy with it | Stability after months of daily use |
| Tray | Large, with levers to set its position | How easily it cleans after messy meals |
| Wheels | Brake on all four | How the brakes hold up over time |
| Materials | Overall fine; some plastic feels light | Wear and tear over months |
| Belts | Included in the box | Not fitted in this session |
| Folding | Folds from the side | The fold mechanism with regular use |
Who this high chair suits
Based on my first look, this chair suits parents who want a decent high chair at a sensible price for the months when their baby is learning to eat solids. It also suits anyone who wants to move it around the house, since the wheels and brakes make that easy.
Who may want to look further
If you want heavier materials throughout, or you plan to use one chair for several years and several children, the slightly light plastic on some parts may matter to you. I also cannot speak yet to long-term durability, so if that is your deciding factor, wait for my follow-up or look for longer-term reviews.
Infantso 5 in 1 high chair review: my first verdict
My first impression is positive. Once fully set up, the chair felt sturdy, the tray is generous, the wheels have brakes on all four, and the basket underneath is useful. Some plastic parts feel light, and the frame needs the middle bar to feel solid.
The real test now is daily meals with Aryan and how much he actually uses it. I will update in the comments on the video and in future videos, good or bad.

How long will a baby use a high chair?
In my view, roughly six months to a year of regular use. By around one and a half to two years, many children start sitting and eating normally with the rest of the family. Every child is different, so treat that as our expectation, not a rule.
