Highchairs

[mrsed1987]

Recommendations please?

TIA

I got the one from ikea for £10 and am enjoying it so far! Think it's a Mumsnet best buy too

yes Ive been looking at that but would it not be a bit uncomfortable just hard plastic or AIBU

We had this one and really liked it,

I preferred the harness and ability to use it as a low chair to our old IKEA Antilop although that was good too.

Forgot the picture!

My DD used it for almost 2.5 years in some form and never complained about being uncomfortable, it makes it a breeze to clean!

brilliant thanks

Ikea Antilop for sure. There is absolutely no need to spend a fortune on some fancy chair with all bells and whistles that is full of nooks and crannies that bits fall into and you then can’t get them out.

Joie mimzy smacker. We had it for our eldest and loved it. Will buy another one for DD2.

I like the cosatto supanoodle 2 that I have. My baby is a climber and in other ones, like the ikea one, she can negotiate the straps and stand up in the space between the tray and seat. In our one she cannot. So maybe also depends on the baby you have too!

Tripp trapp if you want to spend £££. Mine still use theirs six years on, I use them to when I am working from home.

Even if you don't get the ikea one for regular use, it's useful. We have one in the garage to use when guests come or if we go away. The legs pop off so it's very easy to store and transport.

And you can get an inflatable insert for the Ikea one for about a fiver which keeps them comfy x

I love mine, when it gets super grubby you can pull it apart and chuck it in the shower! No little books and crannies! 👍

That should be nooks, not books 🤦‍♀️

Yep as PP says you can get an insert for the IKEA highchair to make it comfier

The IKEA highchair is brilliant and you can get an inflatable insert for it which helps until they're big enough to sit without it. I've taken the insert out with me to use at restaurants too because the wooden high chairs they have are normally too big for my LO.

We have a Cuggl highchair at my mum's which is good but slippery so LO slides down atm (wipe-clean service)

Ikea one and their long sleeved bibs. Their plates and cutlery are good too.

Everyone buys the Ikea chair eventually. Ease of cleaning is the primary requirement from a high chair and anything with padding starts to smell funky after a few weeks. Ikea padding is removable and can put in the washing machine.

I didn't like the IKEA one because of the lack of leg support. I had a Mamas and Papas one which was great, the seat reclined, and was fairly easy to clean and store.

The best ones are the Rubbermaid ones you get in restaurants. But the IKEA or Asda ones are brilliant for at home. Padding is a total no no.

Ikea definitely - you can just put the seat and tray in the dishwasher! I'd never get one with padding.

You can’t really beat the Ikea ones. We had them for our twins from 6 months with the inflatable inserts. They come apart, they stack, you can even put them in the dishwasher. They’re 2.5 now and use a little Ikea table and chairs but we still use the high chairs for hair cuts!

I considered getting Tripp Trapp ones but we wouldn’t be able to use them now - they both have ASD and no danger awareness, without the harness fitting they’d just fall off!

Thanks all. Looks like the ikea one is the winner!

Ikea antilop, without a doubt. I spent £70 on an all-singing all-dancing reclining multiple-adjusting highchair and only used it for 3 months before buying the antilop, as I just couldn't keep the other one clean - it was a nightmare!

Ikea Antilop. With my first baby the fancy high chair I bought ended up in the garage in favour of the good old Antilop!
