I like this chair, it is great as a spare - easy to store away in the garage! Very basic but easy to clean. We use it when we go camping.

Was persuaded by teh ample body of opinion that is MN that this woudl be worth trying - and it was. Cheap as chips and every bit as good as everyine says. East to clean - and easy to take apart if you are going on a trip that necessitates a highchair. You can also buy and inflatable cushion support for little little people. I am now totally indebted to MN for persuading me to go for this and saving me all those lovely pennies that I almost spent on a Tripp trapp!

Fantastic high chair. We had two on the go at one point, then freecycled them and will buy another if we need it.

It's unbreakable. It's unstainable. It's untippable. It's easy to put the child in and hard for them to climb out. It pulls up to the table and has a tray too. I just can't see why any other high chairs are sold for under 18mths, especially the super-folding-reclining-padded monster ones.

The point of a high chair is for a child to learn to eat - which is a seriously messy business. The most important factor, after safety, is cleanability. The Antilop doesn't stain, even weeks-old Weetabix can be scrubbed off with a squirt of bleach. There are no fabrics, corners or crevices to trap splodges of puree and porridge. It's comfortable enough (we used a folded towel behind DS for the first few months), very sturdy and the minimal design doesn't dominate the room.

I'm going to give it full marks for everything except storage, as it doesn't fold. But the folding high chairs have too many disadvantages in my opinion! Adjustability - one size fits all. Comfort - we certainly had no complaints. Storage - legs slide easily out but with luck it could be tucked under a table. VFM - absolutely no competition. Save your money to get a Tripp Trapp when the Antilop is outgrown.

I was thinking of getting one of those huge charis with all the bells and whistles, but I saw this while shopping at Ikea and decided to try it. Its a great price - under 15pounds for the chair and the tray. Its really easy to clean, and doesnt take up too much space at the table. My daughter seems happy in it, and I recommend it to anyone!

Cheap, cheerful, easy to construct and very easy to clean.

Buy inflatable cushion (sold separately for about £3.50) for extra comfort.
