A “3-in-1” feeding seat available from a major retailer, integrates the functions of a traditional high chair, an infant booster, and a toddler chair into a single product. This versatility aims to accommodate a child’s needs as they grow, from initial stages of spoon-feeding to independent dining at the table. Examples of such a product include models that can be configured with a full-sized high chair frame, strapped to a regular dining chair as a booster, or used independently as a small chair for older children.
The appeal of a multi-functional design lies in its potential for cost savings and space efficiency. Instead of purchasing separate pieces of equipment for different developmental stages, a single convertible unit serves multiple purposes. Historically, separate high chairs and booster seats were standard. The introduction of convertible models represents a shift towards products designed to provide long-term utility within the constraints of modern living spaces and budgets.
