    A good baby seat allows your young child to sit up and see the world, making them happy while minimizing the risk they will topple over and hurt themselves. Using a baby seat can help to improve a baby’s core strength, building the muscles to help them develop into better sitters as they move and progress to walkers. Some baby seats double as mini high chairs, providing a tray on which you can place food or toys. The tray also helps keep baby secure in the seat. If you choose this style, look for a  baby seat with straps to secure to a regular chair. A baby seat with an added insert allows you to use it later as a booster for your toddler or young child.
