High chair with newborn (bouncer/seat) insert recommendations?

[CherriBerri]

Hello all, I’m looking for a high chair with a newborn insert, but is easy to clean.

I need one to allow me to be hands free of baby, in a way that conserves space - living in a furnished flat means there isn’t space for both a Moses basket/bouncer and a playmat as they will be allocated to same area.

I’ve seen the Tripp Trapp, but it’s expensive brand new with all of the attachments. Second hand would be an option but there aren’t many on the market close to me atm. I’ve spent so much on a silver cross travel system, Tutti cot, baby carrier, etc., and all the costs are starting to amount to an eye-watering sum; I would deeply appreciate suggestions under £200, ideally £150, that don’t have fabric past the newborn stage for ease of cleaning. Thank you.

Could you use the pram bassinet?

Tbh mine spent a lot of time in a sling. They preferred it there and you get your hands free.

We have a stokke trip trap that was second hand for £45 about a year ago. We borrowed the baby seat from a friend but didn’t use it much. If we were eating round the table when baby was a newborn they wanted to be feeding then anyway. If I was the one cooking baby would go in the sling. The rest of the time they were on me or sleeping in the pram which we kept in the kitchen/hallway.

Once they get bigger, 2 months ish a baby bouncer chair works well. They don’t take up much space. I think ours was under £10 from Argos.

I should add that we like the Tripp traps because they take up much less space than a normal Highchair that has huge legs. The Tripp trap takes up no more space than a normal dining chair. We have 2, one each for DC and wouldn’t be without them.

Another vote for the tripp trapp for pushing right up to the table and not looking like a hunk of plastic! If you can find the chair second hand you can always get the pod separately.

We had the tutti bambini nova, and it's been great.
Went from tiny premie, through the weaning, and we turned in to a table and chair aged 1 and she's loved it all the way through. Currently 19m.
Around £175rrp but usually on offer somewhere.

Not big and cumbersome

Should mention, the bouncer on the Nova can come off and be used as a rocker separately too. So great if you're short on space.

I've been looking at this and the haul alpha. Love the look of the tutti Bambi only concern is the fabric is it difficult to clean when weaning etc? Thanks.

@Toon49 I found it fine. Most would wipe off, and it's very easy to strip down and dries quickly so I'd chuck it in the washing machine if needed.
Admittedly, my DD wasn't a horrendously messy weaner. She got the hang of cutlery very quickly, and only went for the facial smears with avocado.
