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?

The Tripp Trapp has been tested and I am truly amazed!

Admittedly dinner wasn't ever going to be proper hardcore BLW messy, but there was potential. There always is.

Anyway, I think it cut cleaning-up time by 60%. At least. DD seemed to really like it, she drank really well. Probably because she couldn't bend over backwards like a contortionist and half drown herself. She didn't keep loosing her dinner in the big bucket-of-doom that is the seat of The Monster either.

I am in love But then, she hasn't had porridge in it yet

I'm enjoying looking at the poncey highchairs though. Rietveld anyone? I actually like this one.

Another antilop lover here

I even put the inflatable cushion in the washng machine n 30 degrees if needed- spotless! And its not exactly expensive either. We looked for ages before sitting ds4 in one to have a coffee in IKEA and having a lightbulb moment

I do like the Antilop, it's always a pleasure to use it at MILs. But, on balance (and with very limited experience) I think I prefer the Tripp Trapp.

Have both - Antilop for the messy stage, Tripp Trapp when they were old enough not to need the baby set.

Sycamore Tree - that's the same as the one at Mum's house but ours is executive grey. I never got the point of the double layer trays?

Hmmm, I THINK you're supposed to whip one off and take it away to wash whilst still having a tray for your LO to muck about with (i.e. wipes they mucky fingers all over). I have NEVER used it. TBH DS won't stay in the feckin' thing a moment longer than he has to, hence uselessness also of so called Pat Mat.

does the zuma or the bloom have a removable harness?

BouncingTurtle can you tell me the quick way to get the tray off. I only bought my Antilop yesterday (still waiting for tray and harness but that is another story).

It is great to hear all this good stuff about it! I thought I was just being stingy thrifty.

spudballoo we have a stupidly expensive but nice looking Svan too, and both dc's were able to climb right out of it at 12 months.

Transferred ds2 into a cheap plastic booster seat last week when he stood up and pitched head first on the floor out of the fecking svan.

Why oh why did we ever buy a highchair wihout straps?

can't you attach reins to them?

I just use a £3 scarf to tie DD to wherever we go and to the dining chair at home!!!
