What a used high chair is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for high chairs, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £90 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £76 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £58 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £40 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £22 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a high chair
- Convertible designs that adjust as the child grows
- Removable, dishwasher-safe trays and washable covers
- Recognised brands with replacement parts available
- Complete with harness, tray and footrest
What lowers it
- Missing harnesses, which are a safety requirement
- Stained or cracked trays
- Wobbling frames and worn adjustment mechanisms
- Basic plastic chairs, which sell for very little
How to work out what yours is worth
- Test every adjustment and the folding mechanism
- Confirm the harness is complete and fastens properly
- Deep clean the tray and seat before photographing
Once you have those three answers you can place your own high chair on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
Which high chairs hold their value?
Convertible designs that adjust as the child grows, because they stay useful for years. Basic plastic chairs sell for very little.
Is a missing harness a dealbreaker?
It should be. The harness is a safety requirement, and replacements are model-specific, so source one before selling.
How do I clean a high chair properly?
Remove the tray and cover, and get into the seams and crevices where food collects. It makes a visible difference in photographs.
