Toddler chairs with straps?

[dodi1978]

Hi,

our DS (18 months) is currently driving us mad as he is constantly standing up in his high chair (the Ikea Antilope - doesn't have shoulder straps and even if you put the belly strap on he can wiggle out of it). We also have a booster seat, but on that one he can push his legs against the table and push the chair over.

Are there any toddler seats with shoulder straps ... or any other solutions? A way of adjusting the Antilope to strap the little one in and keep him in?

Ahhhh!

Phil and Ted's lobster would be good but it means forking out for another seat! could he still get out of you put the tray on the high chair?

This says you can use it with most highchairs

You have my sympathies. DS2 is impossible! I can't put him in the antilop at my MIL's house, or in any supermarket trollies, as he is such a little houdini!

Strokke tripp trapp

Oh, and if the harness doesn't work there's always extra strong velcro

A friend of mine had same issue and bought a harness type thing (like old fashioned reins) from amazon and fitted them to existing high chair. Not sure if it would work for Ikea chair but maybe worth a go.

The Joie Mimsy has shoulder straps and should give him enough room, as long as he's not giant. It's a great chair, although the straps are quite hard to keep clean.

X post, what enjoyingscience said.

yep reins are a life saver! my dd is 14 months and the shoulder strap on her pram broke. she can wriggle uo and out of the three point harness though and I was all set for going and buying a new pram when my dm showed me the wonder of reins! I get to keep the pram I love and dd is secure yet able to move a bit and get comfy...she sits sideways and natters to me!

I use reins too.

Thanks everybody... think we might go for the harness. My husband says he can modify the high chair if necessary.

Personally, he would happily gaffer tape DS on

Like the Phil and Teds as well, but will try harness first.

Just persuaded my husband to have a nice, adult, evening meal next Saturday (Valentines day) and just feed DS baked beans and bread before hand I need a meal when I can just eat and not have to prevent toddler suicide or a carpet of food on the floor.

I have up on straps by that age as did most people I know. The escape techniques were too dangerous. Had basic booster and both have up trying to get out once the challenge went. Others just let them kneel or stand in a chair. Far safer - some children simply hate being tied into a chair

Have should read gave sorry - autocorrect. I would hate being strapped in a chair too

We've got a cheapy version of the stokke tripp trapp, less than £40 on ebay, neither of the babies (15 months) can escape from them.
My 8 year old uses one too (without the straps obviously.

You can buy a harness or reins and attach to the chair. We had to do this with supermarket trolly seats for a while.
