Highchairs

I am looking for some advice re. highchairs.
I am absolutely lost picking one - there is so much choice.
I need it to fold away easily and have a price range of about £50 at the most.
I was looking after the Mamma and Papas 'Pesto' highchair.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Really don't like the ikea one bulky legs and doesn't fold and looks uncomfortable.
I like the babydan one. Or Tripp trap if you can afford it.

the pesto is a pain to clean - food gets everywhere with babies, in to all the nooks and cranies, I got rid of it as I was spending more time cleaning it than preparing the food!

I have a tripp trapp and love it, bought second hand but soooo easy to clean and really small so the fact it doesn't fold up isn't an issue

Stokke tripp trapp (or similar cheaper brand) It fits at the table like a chair, looks nice, and ours lasted until dd was 6 and tall enough to sit on an ordinary chair, then we sold it on as there is a good second hand market.

We have the joie mimzy snacker like a few other PPs. I love it, easy to fold away with one hand and seat is easy to clean. Straps get a but grubby but I think the us probably universal. The antilop is OK, as people have said you see them a lot in restaurants so we've used them out and about. Would take up too much room when not it use for me. I like that I can fold mine away. DD starting sitting at the table with us from about 18m so it only got used for about a year. I think £50 is about as far as I'd want to stretch!

Another vote for Tripp Trapp style one here. And against the bloody IKEA antilop which is awful in every way.

TataEs · 16/10/2016 09:35

had the antilop, was a nightmare for the kids climbing out. i ditched the high chair at 12-16minths with them both and bought the ikea chairs that are taller so they just sit at the table, far less drama.
if i could do it again, and afford it, i'd get the tripp trapp.
my mum had a padded folding number and cleaning it was awful, kids are so unbelievably gross it's unreal! which is why i got the antilop. ikea also do a folding one, no tray, that we had at my ILs which goes up to the table but i wouldn't recommend it.

We have the brother max scoop which is great and looks fab but the ikea antilop is just as good and sooo much cheaper!

Honestly, we were given one and bought two others (one posh John Lewis job, one travel system unfolding thing). DD couldn't sit comfortably in any of them. We ended up Ebaying them all in favour of the Ikea £7 job after noticing lots of restaurants had them and they were the comfiest for her.

Also the seat / tray can go in the dishwasher. The legs can be taken off and it can be packed when we visit people who don't have kids. And it's £7! Win!

Another fan of the antilop, my DD sat so well in it when smaller, used a padded insert until she got a bit bigger. I found that she slouched in other high chairs. The tray fits in the dishwasher too
