Bugaboo Giraffe High Chair

Bugaboo Giraffe High Chair

The Bugaboo Giraffe is a high chair system that can stay at the table long after the "high chair years" (is that a sitcom?) are over. Start with the Newborn Set if you want a place for your baby near the table from day 1. Use the baby set and tray once your child can sit upright on their own. Later, remove the baby pieces and keep using the chair for older kids, homework, snacks, dinner, or the extra seat in the kitchen.

That’s the point of the Giraffe. It doesn’t feel like another short-term baby product taking up space in your kitchen. The chair weighs 11 pounds, holds up to 220 pounds without accessories, and adjusts quickly with a click-and-slide seat and footrest.

At Albee Baby, the Bugaboo Giraffe collection includes the Bugaboo Giraffe Complete High Chair and the Bugaboo Giraffe Complete High Chair + Newborn Set Bundle in multiple color options. Choose the high chair if your child is ready for supported mealtime seating. Choose the newborn bundle if you’re shopping before baby arrives or want the fullest setup from the start.

What Is the Bugaboo Giraffe?

The Bugaboo Giraffe is an adjustable high chair and dining chair system. The chair itself works for older kids and adults up to 220 pounds. Add the baby set and tray for high chair use. Add the newborn set when you want your baby closer to the table before they’re ready to sit upright.

The Giraffe works because it does a pretty basic job well. It gives your child a better seat at the table, then keeps adjusting as their body changes. The seat has five height positions, the footrest has nine positions, and both move with a simple click-and-slide adjustment.

Parents usually notice two things first. It looks better in the kitchen than a lot of bulky plastic high chairs, and cleanup is way easier than expected. The tray goes in the dishwasher. The fabrics can go in the washing machine. The wood and hardware wipe down with a cloth. No cap.

Choose Your Bugaboo Giraffe Setup

Bugaboo Giraffe Complete High Chair

Choose the Bugaboo Giraffe Complete High Chair if your child can sit upright on their own and you’re ready for the regular high chair stage. The baby set helps create a more secure high chair seat for younger children. The tray gives you a dedicated eating surface, and it can go in the dishwasher. The footrest adjusts as your child grows, which is one of those small things that makes meals less awkward for kids. (Feet dangling in the air gets old fast.)

The Giraffe also keeps going after the toddler stage. Remove the baby pieces and adjust the seat and footrest for an older child. Eventually, it works as a regular chair. That’s where the 220-pound capacity comes from.

Bugaboo Giraffe Complete High Chair + Newborn Set Bundle

Choose the Bugaboo Giraffe + Newborn Set Bundle if you’re shopping before baby arrives or want a setup that starts earlier. The bundle includes one Bugaboo Giraffe Complete High Chair and one Bugaboo Giraffe Newborn Set.The Newborn Set gives your baby a reclined place near the table from birth until 6 months or 20 pounds, whichever comes first. It lets your baby be near the family during meals before the high chair stage begins.Once your baby can sit upright unassisted, move into the baby set and tray for high chair use. Later, the chair adjusts again for toddler and big-kid seating. The Giraffe has a long runway if you actually use the pieces in the right stage.

Bugaboo Giraffe Newborn Set

The Newborn Set attaches to the Bugaboo Giraffe chair and gives newborns a reclined seat near the table. It can also work with the Bugaboo Giraffe Rocker Frame when used according to Bugaboo’s instructions.

Use the Newborn Set for supervised awake time only. It is not for infant sleep. Stop using it when your baby can sit upright unassisted or weighs more than 20 pounds, whichever comes first.

Why Parents Choose the Bugaboo Giraffe

The Giraffe is easy to adjust. That’s probably the main reason it makes sense over time. Kids grow quickly, and mealtime gets easier when the chair still fits them. The seat and footrest move without tools, so you can change the setup without turning dinner into a small construction project.

It also looks more like furniture than baby gear. That may sound shallow until the chair lives in your kitchen every day. The Giraffe uses FSC-certified beechwood and has a cleaner shape than most high chairs. It can sit at the table without making the room look like a daycare center, although your floor may still look like one after breakfast.

Cleaning is straightforward. The baby set and tray are dishwasher safe up to 149°F. Fabrics are machine washable at 86°F. The frame wipes clean with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Colored foods can stain the baby set or tray, because apparently beets and tomato sauce have hobbies.

The 11-pound weight also helps. You can move it around the kitchen without dragging a heavy chair across the floor. Just keep in mind that some floors can scratch or scuff, so check your own flooring before sliding it around.

What Parents Are Saying About the Bugaboo Giraffe

• “I didn’t know I could be obsessed with a high chair, but here I am. It was incredibly easy to assemble and looks great in our kitchen. The quality is outstanding. I bought the infant set too, which is a must!” – Olivia, Virginia
• “I spent so much time going back and forth on whether to buy this product or go with something cheaper... I highly recommend the giraffe!! It’s perfect! I can clean up easily and move it around easily. I just wish I bought it sooner!” – Elizabeth, Indiana
• “I absolutely love this chair. I wish it existed when my son (now 2yo) was born – it would have saved a lot of trial and error with the THREE (3!!) other chairs/boosters we tried before this.” – Alisha, Omaha, NE

Cleaning, Care and Safety Notes

Clean the chair’s hardware with a soft towel, lukewarm water, and a dry cloth. The baby set and tray are dishwasher safe up to 149°F. All fabrics are machine washable at 86°F. Always check the care label before washing.

Use the restraint system when your child uses the baby set. The tray does not hold your child in the chair. Stay near your child during use, and do not leave them unattended in the high chair.

Use the Giraffe indoors on a flat, even floor. Keep it away from windows, cords, open flames, strong heat sources, and furniture your child could push against with their feet. Do not use the chair as a step stool.

Check the screws two weeks after assembly and tighten them if needed. Repeat that check every six months. Keep the Allen key somewhere you can actually find it later, which is always the hard part.
