This is Mumsnet's Best Highchair. What do you think?

134 replies

MumsnetReviews · 19/04/2018 14:04

We set out to find the best highchair on the market, and after weeks of extensive testing we've declared the Cosatto 3Sixti2 as our Mumsnet Best highchair 2018.

We choose our top products based on Mumsnetters’ recommendations and our Talk boards, as well as which products are being searched for most on Google. We also look at new releases, meaning we give new products a level playing field to compete on with old favourites. You can read more about our testing process here.

Take a look at our reviews page to see which highchairs we rate. Do you agree with our choices? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

No way! Ikea Antilop highchair is definitely the best ever.

Every mumsnet thread on highchairs ever begun produces an almost unanimous decision for the Ikea antilop. Every. Single. One.

THIS! Which Mumsnet have you been reading?!?

Ikea one is the business. I hope this is clear to anyone reading this thread and considering spending more than £14.

Antilop every time! We’ve now bought the Ikea Urban toddler chair which was £35 and the high chair still looks good as new and ready for no2

Mumsnet all of your choices have been outrageous.

The Ikea one is clearly the best Grin

I'm always relieved when we go out and the high chairs are Antilop. Because they are the best.

We got rid of a cosatto high chair after a couple of months it was a nightmare to clean. Idiot FTM choice! Replaced with the ikea model and it’s surviving DD2 now!

Ditto everyone else. Replaced a Cosatto that had soft material and corners which were a crumb magnet. Yeuch!!!! Could never get the damn thing clean!!!

Ikea Antilop all the way, survived 3 kids and now kept under the stairs dismantled but easy to put up when younger cousins are here.

MN your favourite is ludicrously expensive, features are pointless in real life (what scenario would you need a reclining high chair??), it's far to heavy to be easily be moved around so you'd need a big kitchen with room to keep it there permanently and the size of the base is huge and awkward. This could only be recommended by someone who has a) been paid for the recommendation or b) never actually used it outside a studio!!!

I think many of you have made a huge mistake....

The Antilop is actually just £9 Wink

I only came on here to recommend the Antilop! So glad to be in the majority.

Do brands pay for the privilege of being 'Mumsnet's Best' ?
Is there a special badge or something?

What a con.

👋🏻 another vote for antilop here!

Antilop fans- I was in ikea last week and they've changed the cover for the inflatable cushion! I bought the new one and am now covering the red and blue stripe one as 'vintage' 🤣

My family owns 6 Antilops for our twins (2 here 2 at mums 2 at MILs) and they're the best high chair for so many reasons and also all 6 of ours cost less than one of these monstrosities.

This is a load of bollocks. Mumsnets best high chair comes from IKEA.

I've only ever seen the ikea high hair and the Tripp trap ones recommended on Mumsnet. I assume Mumsnet are now deciding recommendations based on being given money by companies- which is fine, but no one will trust your recommendations when that are as shit as this. It will be hard to clean- it is dangerous to recline and will only do a few months (at least the Tripp trapp with a similar price tag does until they are adults).

I tell everyone I know to buy the Antilop but the many first time parents in my family want ‘quality’ expensive and garish Facebook post worthy for their precious baby. Idiots.

I had a £150
High chair with a padded seat. It got disgusting. I hated it.
With my second child I got the Ikea one.. it was perfect. And cheap!!

HabbyHadno · 20/04/2018 21:52

We bought three Antilops four years ago for our house and both sets of grandparents. They're still going strong for our second child and look as good as new. They're also super easy to disassemble and transport. Definitely a best buy.

Everyone knows that Antilop is the high chair of choice. Absolutely no contest, cheap does the job, easy to clean, fits in dishwasher.

Who the hell wrote this recommendation? They clearly didnt ask MN users...
