Mandatory High Chair Standard Has Been Served

“As of June 19, 2019, a new federal standard for high chair safety will take effect, enabling restaurateurs to take even better care of some of their most valuable and vulnerable customers — infants and toddlers who visit with their families.

As the effective date approaches, operators are advised to review the new requirements and determine whether their current high chair inventory is compliant. The new standard involves all high chairs for home and restaurant use, both domestically made and imported into the U.S. Restaurateurs will not be required to replace existing chairs that fail to comply. But as of June 19, only compliant high chairs will be permitted for sale. Operators should be aware that some high chairs currently on the market are already compliant with the new standard but many are not.”

When parents visit your restaurant, they expect you to provide high quality child seating products. Fortunately, Koala Kare Products offers an extensive line of commercial child seating products, including high chairs and booster seats.

Consider the following quotes about child seating products, gathered from parents during our research: 

“There never seem to be enough at most chain restaurants to accommodate families on busy nights.”
“I feel like they don’t get as much attention by cleaning staff, and often the seatbelts are broken and unusable.


While having high chairs and booster seats is important, maintaining them and keeping them clean is also critical—89% of parents surveyed have used high chairs in the past three years!
