Chair straps are very beneficial if you have a curious, rambunctious toddler. Toddlers often like to explore, be energetic and jump in and out of things. Chair straps can defuse a dangerous situation, such as an hyperative toddler attempting to jump out of a high chair during dinnertime. With these straps on, the child simply can't jump out, and therefore can't harm himself.

The American Academy of Pediatrics states that children between the ages of 1 and 2 years old are at the highest risk for harming themselves in the kitchen. At this age, kids love to tug at things and grab at things in high places like cabinets, pantries and refrigerator tops. Toddlers can move chairs around and climb on stoves--all potential recipes for disaster!

How exactly do chair straps work? The process is simple.
