Where I grew up, that �s called a high chair.
The other chair you described ... I �ve heard it called an office chair, a swivel chair and a computer chair.
Hope this helps,
Brian

The pic looks like a high chair and it �s used for babies.
An office chair with wheels is exactly that although it may also swivel and tilt. I call the chair I �m sitting in right now a computer chair (when it behaves itself). |

This is called a high chair. The other one is just an office chair. |

Yup, high chair or highchair.
There are a whole host of names for the other chair: office chair, desk chair, computer chair, swivel chair, task chair, etc. One with a rather high back is sometimes called a manager �s or executive chair and one without arms is sometimes called a student chair or student task chair.
Up until a decade or so ago, the swivel chair was not the norm, so a desk chair was the standard 4-legged, straight back affair. A chair that swiveled was a swivel chair. However, that �s become the standard in offices--even home offices--so office chair or computer chair are probably the most common terms now in the US.
Hope the elaboration is helpful to someone.

Hi Sophia
I think we can start now, brilliant idea, it is a feeding chair, yes, why not?
Everybody will understand what we are talking about, right.?
And they say I am an english teacher, God , I am not even a teacher of English.
Have a nice week,
Linda

It is sometimes referred to as a feeding chair and baby dining chair (just google it and you �ll see) but where I come from high chair is the most commonly used word.
