Thanks for adding your responses, Here are some more ideas:

1) Since Max is able to climb you need to make sure he is securely fastened in his high chair and make sure there isnt anything he can reach to put in his mouth other than food.

2) Spoon would also be helpful.

3) Make sure that the food is bite sized for Max to eat, talk to him about what he is eating, be prepared for mess etc.
