Maxi-Cosi Nesta All-in-One High Chair Kit

The Maxi-Cosi Nesta All-in-One High Chair Kit is a convertible wooden high chair bundle designed to be used from birth right through into adulthood. Because it arrives as a complete set — the Nesta high chair together with the Newborn Kit and the Baby & Toddler Kit — you have what you need to seat a newborn, a weaning baby, a toddler and, eventually, an older child or adult on the same frame. It's a considered option for parents who'd rather buy one seat that grows with the family than replace a high chair every couple of years.

At its heart is a reclining backrest and adjustable seat and footrest, so the chair can be set up to suit your child's stage. It moves through four modes of use — a recline cradle for newborns, a highchair, a child chair and an adult chair — with cocooning recycled-fabric kits that support your baby in the early months and a taller, supportive seat as they join the table. The frame is built from durable Beechwood with minimal plastics, and its clean, modern lines are designed to sit comfortably in a kitchen, living area or bedroom.

Grows with your child through four modes

Nesta is built to transition as your little one develops rather than being outgrown. In newborn mode it offers two recline positions, including one lie-flat, so a baby from birth to around 4 months can lie back, and from roughly 4 to 6 months can enjoy a more upright seated position once they hold their head better. From about 6 months, when your baby can sit unaided, the Baby & Toddler Kit takes over for the seated highchair stage. After around three and a half years, the same chair is used without the kits as a child and then adult chair. In total it offers five sitting positions and supports a weight of up to 110 kg.

Comfort and positioning you can fine-tune

Getting a child seated comfortably makes mealtimes easier, and Nesta lets you adjust the fit as they grow. The footrest has six positions — three adjustment slots on the frame, plus the option to flip the footrest for a better fit — and the seat position is adjustable too. A supplied allen key is used to set the chair up, so you can dial in an ergonomic position for each stage. The Newborn Kit includes shoulder pads that add extra comfort and help protect your baby's skin from being irritated by the harness.

Made to last, with everyday cleaning in mind

The Beechwood frame is made with future generations in mind, using minimal plastics, while the Newborn and Baby & Toddler Kits use 100% recycled fabrics that cocoon your baby. The fabric inlay is water-repellent, and the seamless, sleek design helps limit food getting trapped in crevices. The cushions and kits are machine washable; the wooden frame wipes clean with a damp cloth (no detergent, which can damage it); and the removable tray cleans with warm water and dishwasher detergent, though it is not dishwasher-safe. Assembly is done with the provided allen key.

How it works

• Reclining backrest: The backrest adjusts through the stages, offering two recline positions for newborns — including a lie-flat setting — and firmer, more upright support as your child grows.
• Four modes of use: The same frame converts between a recline cradle, highchair, child chair and adult chair, so it keeps its place at the table as your family changes.
• Restraint and stability features: Used with the kits, Nesta holds your baby with a 5-point harness and T-bar, while extension feet are included to add stability to the chair.
• Adjustable footrest and seat: Six footrest positions and an adjustable seat let you set a supportive position for each stage.

Best For

The Maxi-Cosi Nesta All-in-One High Chair Kit is a great option for parents who:

• Want one convertible chair that can be used from birth into adulthood rather than replacing seats as their child grows
• Like the idea of a wooden Beechwood frame with recycled-fabric kits and a clean, modern look
• Value being able to fine-tune the recline, seat and footrest for a comfortable fit at each stage

It may not be the best fit if you:

• Need a chair with wheels to move around easily, as Nesta does not have wheels
• Are looking for the most compact fold-away option for a very small space

Good to know

Nesta can only be used from birth with the appropriate kit — the Newborn Kit from birth to 6 months, and the Baby & Toddler Kit from around 6 months to 3 years. As with any high chair, always use the supplied harness, follow the assembly and adjustment instructions, and supervise your child at mealtimes. Your Maxi-Cosi Nesta is covered by Maxi-Cosi's standard 24-month warranty.
