From high chairs to utensils to the bibs that catch the most mess – this list breaks down all the supplies you’ll need to do baby led weaning with less stress and more ease!
I’ve put together a list of the top-rated (4-5 stars!) items that fall under the essential supplies you’ll need for baby led weaning with the key elements that other moms loved, so you can choose what will best suit your needs!
Each person’s style is different so I’ve included a variety of popular options to suit various preferences.
Let’s dive into the ultimate top-rated baby led weaning supply list…
High Chair
The first thing you will need for baby led weaning is a high chair that is super easy to wipe down after each use.
Even if you got a high chair as a gift from your registry, I’d recommend you consider exchanging it if it’s not easy to fully wipe down each time.
You will save yourself a ton of time, cleanup and stress, by having a high chair that doesn’t have extra padding or material that is hard to clean.
Here are 5 popular options that other moms love, that will make cleanup with baby led weaning less difficult for you.
This high chair has a double removable tray which is excellent for quickly clearing food if baby is done.(throwing/flinging food can often happen if baby is done.)
This way, you can leave baby in the high chair and clear food first so they don’t throw it. Most likely, your baby will be messy after eating, so leaving them in the chair with a cleared tray will allow you to grab a wipe and wipe their hands/remove bib etc, without having to handle flying food too.
The main key features of this chair are:
- Double removable tray

This high chair made the list BUT it is my least recommended because the cleanup can be difficult with all the material, nooks and crannies. However, the space-saving bonus this chair offers is very appealing to many families. This chair has metal around the top versus other similar fast chairs that have material, so it is the easiest one to clean. It comes with a food tray that snaps on and a travel bag.
The main key features are:
- Minimalistic, sleek design
- Stylish and compact

This high chair folds down to just 9 inches wide, has a fold down tray and converts to a toddler seat. There is a foot support bar, a removable top tray and is suitable for 6 months to 3 years old. It has rounded edges so it doesn’t take up much space and has no added padding, making for quick cleanup.
The main key features are:
- Fold down capability for storage when not in use
- Convertibility to a seat for older toddlers
- Rounded edges for a less bulky feel in the dining room
- Easy to assemble
- Removable top tray
- Moms are loving this chair for: it’s top tray that covers the entire top rather than being an inlay, ease in assembly and breakdown, simple cleanup and minimal footprint within the home.
Bib
Here are 5 options moms give top reviews for, that will help capture mealtime mess from baby led weaning, without restricting baby’s natural movements. Cleanup will be less difficult for you with one or a few of these.
I recommend getting 2 or more so you can put one in the sink, and use another for the next meal time. Or, you can pack one for on-the-go and have others ready for home use.
- Before we get into the list, I think it’s important to know that most babies will pull to take off their bib at some point. They may not want to wear it or, they may be done eating. If they are done eating, you can teach them to sign language ‘all done’, so you know they’re done and there’s no need to put it back on.
- If they take off the bib and are still eating, model and teach them that they need to wear their bib if they are still eating. You can give them a moment and tell them you’ll try again in a minute. This consistency will get them used to using the bib regularly, and soon enough, you won’t have to keep placing it back on.
