Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
At £85, the Silver Cross Buffet is a foldable highchair that sits fifth in our guide to fourteen highchairs. It is pitched at newborns through to three-year-old toddlers, with seven height positions, three calf-rest positions, a lie-flat recline and a detachable tray, and it carries a 4.5-star average across 207 ratings.
The reason it earns a place here is not the star score. The Buffet's own bullet point says "At 6.9kg, it's lightweight" while the Item Weight field on the same Amazon page reads 7.9 kg — a full kilogram apart, on the figure you would use to decide whether you can lift it in and out of a car one-handed. The Maximum Weight Recommendation field does agree with the bullet at 15 kilograms, so the child's limit is the one number that matches itself. The star breakdown shown on the page adds up to 100 ratings, not the 207 the listing reports. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing — we have not tested this chair ourselves.
