Selling Children's Highchairs in the UK

What’s inside:

Before a highchair goes on the UK market, it needs to meet the applicable product safety regulations, demonstrate compliance with BS EN 14988:2017+A2:2024, and carry the right warnings, instructions and product markings. It sets out exactly what that means in practice.

Essential information about the standard — what it applies to, what it specifies, and where it doesn't reach. Highchairs designed for medical use are excluded, and convertible products (a highchair that becomes a swing or a low chair, for example) need additional testing for every configuration they convert into.

It also traces how the standard has developed, from its 1986 origins through to the 2020 amendment, and confirms where the October 2025 flammability changes leave highchairs today.
