To sell the ridiculous and impractical highchair I bought? Preemptive guilt.

[DeJaVous]

I was definitely BU to buy the damn thing in the first place and I will tolerate it no longer! I'd love to ceremoniously destroy it TBH, but that really would BU. So, I suppose I should sell it...

The thing is, I have preemptive guilt about landing some other foolish mother of a PFB with it. It really is a nightmarish article, obviously designed by someone who has never seen a baby eat.

The concept is good, the execution is fucking stupid. I dare to bet that it's got more filth traps than any other highchair ever created. Here's the poncey thing.

I knew BLW was going to be messy.

I knew I should just get an Antilop or a Tripp Trapp.

I wanted something I didn't mind having to look at, I ordered it online.

This is my PFB.

I was foolish and I repent.

So, am I being unreasonable to (potentially) subject another family to Highchair Hell?

Do you mean my one? It is rather nice, just totally impractical. TBH I think it would be hellish with conventional weaning too, unless you keep the DC on puree until they are out of the highchair of course

yeah I meant your one

oops lol hit k/b on me. She isnt a messy eater and has started feeding herself shes 16mths

NEVER

BUY

A

PONCEY

HIGHCHAIR

Take my word for it, please. If you do, you will repent.

lol. I have the prima pappa one but she is a bit small for it sits on a cushion to raise her high enough

The seat of this one is massive, it's like a bucket and reclines to far even in the upright position. Poor DD sits in it like a sack of potatoes, even though she can sit really well unaided.

I want a chair that I can tie her into when i need to do stuff as she is a climber and also escapes from car seats etc

Did consider putting her in dog cage earlier so I could prepare dinner

LOL! Why not just get a baby prison? They are fab (and not a nightmare to clean).

we have the hideous 240 pound Bloom thing too, the in-laws bought it for us and I am desperate to replace it with an Ikea one!

Sell it Norkey! Go on! If the inlaws don't want you to, tell them your quite happy to let them keep at at their house voor visits

We should have an official, MN wide, poncey highchair amnesty

Hate my chico Polly as cleaning is such a nightmare have just invested in [at £9) an antilop why oh why didn't I do it sooner!!!!

hedgewitch I took the straps off and left them to soak in washpowder then vanished them, which brought them up well enough to sell.....

Don't feel guilty DeJaVous someone else gets to indulge their PFB cravings at a much cheaper price

I have been debating whether to join this thread in an effort to purge myself of guilt.

You see, my purchase cannot even be explained away under the semi excuseable banner of PFB. (Oh no, some old Cosatto foldaway slim jim thing was all she got since our flat was so tiny).

So perhaps, when DS came along, and we were finally in a house, the longing for some poncey monstrosity was just too great to ignore. I had been thwarted first time round - never again.

So DS ending up with this: ponce 1

Please note the "pat mat" which was used for, oh er, lemme see now, 2 hours?

What's worse, is that it encourage my sister to buy the following for her PFB ponce 2

So double guilt, and double shame - mine at least doesn't show the bolognese sauce. Hers shows EVERYTHING.

And if that wasn't bad enough. Though DD got a mothercare baby bouncer in an attractive tarten, DS got something we came to refer to VOR SPRUNG DURCH BABYROCKER ponce 3

Do you think I felt I missed out on all this poncery first time by any chance, or just total PSB syndrome?

As soon as xmas pay cheque is in, the little might is getting a trip trap like his big sis is now in. And he can have the pink baby harness and deal with it

wow poncetastic!

Blame it on long pent up PFB urges being released

Say 50 Ikea Antilops and you will be absolved of your poncey sins

I'm now going to get DD from nursery so I can try out the Tripp Trap feed her. I so hope it's ok

I dont know why but I still want one I even like sycamores one... not pfb here but baby no 4! Although 14yr gap from next youngest one so I think its sort of the same

This is the ponciest of poncey highchairs, so impractical, and looks like a bar stool

Ha ha ha ha !!! Damn that was funny... made even more so by the fact that I full screened the vid and then couldn't find escape to get rid of the bloody thing

www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyzfuOQLbak Appologies, we had a technical disaster.

Very good hand swishing.

Tops.

Do you have any spare vodka?

Soremummy, don't do it! It's so big, you nearly put your back out trying to hoof it around so your LO is facing you. And the tray is heavy and cumbersome and you have to find this little notch on the back of the chair to hang it off which, everytime, is like trying to find the nail in the wall with the bit of string across the back of a picture, IYSWIM.

It's creases and crevices store manky banana and crumbs and raisins. You can't access the string bag thing underneath except from behind. The number of times I have tired to reach in a pull a pack of wipes out sideways so I didn't have to get off my arse...only to be thwarted and to have cricked my back again in the process.

It has wheels but only on the back "legs" so you end up dragging it everywhere. In hot weather, poor DS sweats like a MoFo. It has a recline feature which randomly drops back shocking the bejesus out of both you and your LO if you remotely fuck with it - so you know, I DON'T.

The only thing I can say for it is that it does, on occasion, look nice in our retro style kitchen diner, and DS enjoys crawling under, up and over it's many bridges. But I'm going to be selling up on ebay very soon and returning to the spiritual home of the trip trap. May god have mercy on my soul for veering from the path of true righteousness.

Yes free vodka with every purchase, and a fruit shoot for the kids
