There’s an entire industry built on buying things your child will outgrow in six months. Highchairs, in particular, have a knack for becoming awkward hallway clutter the moment your baby decides they’d rather sit like a “big kid.” But what if you could invest in a beautifully designed highchair that not only grows with your child, but becomes a permanent and stylish fixture in your home?
Enter the Cybex IRIS 3-in-1 Highchair from the brand’s Gold collection. It’s part highchair, part dining chair, part genius—and fully designed to last from weaning to well into adulthood.
From around six months, when most babies begin their weaning journey, the Cybex IRIS is ready to serve. The highchair configuration comes with a secure, ergonomically designed baby set and tray—ideal for first purées, finger foods, and the inevitable food flinging.
But unlike many early-years seats, the Iris doesn’t scream “baby furniture.” Made from solid European beechwood and sleek in design, it blends seamlessly with your dining space rather than clashing with it.
As your child grows more independent, the Iris transitions with them. The baby set and tray can be removed, transforming the highchair into a toddler seat that still offers the support and height needed for family meals, creative play, or craft time.
The adjustable seat and footrest can be moved to suit your growing child, without the fiddly tools or confusing mechanisms. This kind of intuitive design is where Cybex consistently shines. The chair adapts to your child’s size, supporting better posture and giving them a sense of ownership and confidence around mealtimes.
And here’s the real selling point: the Iris isn’t just for children. With a weight limit of up to 120 kg, it functions beautifully as a full-sized chair for teens, guests, and even adults. So while other highchairs are headed for the attic or the charity shop, the IRIS remains part of your daily life—whether it’s pulled up to the kitchen table, a desk, or even a home office.
If you’re someone who cares about both design and durability, the Cybex IRIS delivers. The combination of hardwearing materials and minimalist styling means it looks good in any room, holds up under serious use, and doesn’t contribute to the cycle of disposable parenting products.
In a world of plastic and short-term fixes, the Iris feels like a more thoughtful approach: a piece of furniture you choose with your child, not just for them.
The Cybex IRIS 3-in-1 Highchair invites your child to take their place at the table from the very beginning, and supports them (literally and figuratively) through every stage of growing up. And thanks to its adaptability and aesthetic, you’ll love it just as much as they do.

Tula’s New Spring/Summer Prints Have Landed – And They’re Seriously Cool
Nala’s Dream is a magical children’s story with an incredibly poignant story behind it. It was first imagined by five-year-old Taylan Kurtul, who dreamed up an adventure in which his real-life kitten, Nala, travels into space. Taylan sadly died in February 2024, just eight months after being diagnosed with a medulloblastoma brain tumour. His mum lovingly brought the story he created to life as a book in his memory, celebrating Taylan’s wonderful imagination while raising vital funds for Brain Tumour Research. A beautiful legacy filled with adventure, love and a little boy’s magic.
