Nuna BRYN review: A sleek and modern highchair with quality at the forefront

Combining modern quality and functionality, the Nuna BRYN highchair is designed to integrate perfectly into daily life when baby starts that exciting weaning journey and beyond. The sleek tweed and wood aesthetic appeals to parents, while the function of this high chair has been well thought out with baby and parent in mind, featuring a removable and washable tray table and seat pad, height-adjustable footrest and magnetic buckle harness.

Every parent needs a good-quality high chair, and the Nuna Bryn is a fantastic choice. With a sleek, wood-finished design, it looks brilliant in any room and doesn't compromise on comfort. The lovely tweed seat pad can be machine-washed in case of spills, and there is an adjustable footrest that you can set to three different lengths, so it can change as your little one grows.

Not just for weaning your baby, the BRYN can be used up until your child is around six years old, and the appealing design reflects this as it becomes a centerpiece in your kitchen rather than something you want to hide away.

Awards

The Nuna Bryn won Bronze for Best Highchair in the Mother&Baby Awards 2025. It offers a superb luxury look and keeps your child safe and happy with the comfortable seat. We particularly love the sturdy construction and the way it can also be used as a more standard chair for an older child! If you still need convincing, check out the thoughts of our top Mother & Baby testers below.

"This is a stunning product. It's made beautifully with such high-quality materials. It was very easy to build and incredibly sturdy," said a thrilled tester who got to try out the Nuna Bryn. This ease of assembly was confirmed by other testers - one told us "we have dismantled it a few times to take it to grandparents house and easily put it back together!" whilst another revealed that "the quick and simple assembly made it easy for me to do alone, despite two young children running around, and it is very sturdy."

Our team of parent testers were full of compliments for the style of the highchair as well. One described it as a "beautiful item in design, quality and usability," telling us that "its simplistic style fits into any household design and is comfortable for use for your child". Another told us that "it has a beautiful modern aesthetic, my son loves sitting in it and I didn't need a chair that folded away. I want him to be at the table for meals so we use it instead of a dining chair."

It sounds like your child will be happy to use the chair too, as it got rave reviews in terms of comfort! "The cushioned seat was ideal and protected my baby's back and head when he would headbang! It is a very well-made and built high chair. The quality of the materials used is outstanding and the comfort it offers my little one is priceless," said a satisfied mother. "The cushioned seat with grips underneath are really good as it stops little bums from sliding about," said another pleased parent, whilst a different tester told us that when their son used the seat, "the adjustable footrest was perfect for him and the high quality materials that the chair is made from were so gentle on his delicate skin".

"My son loves sitting in it and I love the magnetic clasp to keep him secure. It means he sits with us at mealtime and joins in," said a tester who was particularly pleased with the safety of the seat. It's important that a highchair keeps your little one secure and safe while they use it, so it's good to know that the Nuna Bryn lives up to expectations here.

Overall, our testers loved the Nuna Bryn, thanks to the stellar style, brilliant comfort and super easy assembly. This high praise let our mums focus on the important things in life, like spending time with their little ones. One tester summed it all up particularly well: "The comfort that it offers my son when he is sitting in it is priceless. I know that he is safe and comfortable. It offers my son a safe, clean, sturdy and hygienic place to have his meals and continue his weaning journey which is what every parent wants for their child."

Still not sure? Hub Editor Stephanie Spencer tried out the Nuna BRYN for herself, here's how she got on...

Testing the Nuna BRYN highchair

From first impressions, I was pleased that it was a small box, well packaged, which I've come to expect from a brand like Nuna, and they certainly didn't disappoint. Even before I unpacked the highchair I was bracing myself for a complicated setup as I’d recently tested another highchair which needed a lot of assembly. I was honestly quite relieved when I removed this from the box and found it in only a few pieces, and no little screws or attachments at all.

The instructions take a little figuring out, they’ve tried to be as clear as possible with the diagrams but it is hard to show something in just an image sometimes! However, I will also add that the parts themselves go together pretty easily – with a bit of thought, you can work out which leg needs to go where, and use the instructions to help guide you.

You have four legs, the highchair seat itself (with removable padded seat cushion and harness), a footrest, front bar and the tray table. No screws, bolts or tools are required at all! Simply pop each of the legs in to the seat, there’s a clear click when they’re in place properly.

Then you can attach the footrest – this was probably the trickier bit to figure out but it didn’t take long for me to work out what I needed to do to attach it. Then you can add on the front bar and clip on the tray table and you’re done! Set up took mere minutes, and that’s not an exaggeration at all.

So, very quickly I got to enjoy the final product. Design-wise this highchair is sleek, modern and smart. I love the light maple finish to the legs, the grey tweed seat and the slightly warmer white tone to the plastic areas. It makes the material seem higher quality just from looking at it, and it feels like good quality material too. The tweed is a great choice of fabric for the seat as well, as the slight pattern to it makes it harder to spot stains and means I don’t feel like I need to wash it as often! The Nuna BRYN is also available in a darker Walnut colourway, but I preferred the look of maple as it tied in with my kitchen better.

You can adjust the height of the footrest very easily, by squeezing the release button underneath it and moving it up or down. There’s also a release button on the underside of the tray table so this can be removed for cleaning or if you wanted to put the highchair up against the table rather than using the tray.

The harness itself has a self-guiding magnetic buckle, making it a lot easier to secure a wriggling little one in their seat. Thank goodness for magnetic buckles!

When baby gets a bit older you can remove the harness, and you can also remove the padded seat, not just for cleaning, but if you wanted to use it without the cushion. I love that the seat pad is also machine washable, easy cleaning is a brilliant feature for messy mealtimes and something the best baby weaning products should always have in mind.

The tray and highchair wipes down very easily, as there is a bit of texture to the material I was concerned that mess would grip to it but it just needs a quick spray and wipe. It is a generous sized tray so it’s harder for things to go overboard, and I also like that we can remove the tray so baby can just sit at the table with us.

Both the fact that you can adjust the footrest height and remove the seat insert, tray and front bar mean that this highchair also has longevity. The Nuna website states it can be used until about 6 years old. It is rather slim in build though, so I think this would depend on the child. You also can't adjust the height of the seat itself so it would depend how well it fit up against your table or kitchen island as well.

As a piece of furniture it is designed to tie in with the home, and it doesn’t look out of place in our kitchen at all, in fact I think it’s a lot nicer than our table and chairs and makes me want to get a set that matches the highchair! However, if I could have the option to fold it away when needed that would be an improvement. It does take up a fair bit of floor space. The legs are easy enough to remove though, so I have resorted to that on occasion. It also travelled with us to the grandparents for new year, so while not designed to be a portable highchair, thanks to it being so easy to assemble we were able to take it with us.

Considering that you get the seat pad and tray table included and it can then be used up until six years old, I would say this product is priced accordingly to other similar highchairs on the market. It is aesthetically a lovely piece of furniture, and while not specified to be safe for adults, since it can take up to 100kg it is strong enough that a slim adult could perch on it if needed. It is a sleek and modern highchair with quality at the forefront. I appreciate it is more expensive than other highchairs, but if it's in your budget and you want something well-made that will last you multiple children and looks good in your home as well, then I think the Nuna BRYN is a great option.
