right twins are getting to the stage they need highchairs, last babies so don't need to last through more children, MUST be pink- the pinker the better!

i was previously tempted by the chicco polly in pink pois, but have since seen how much of a pita they are to clean!

so the fresco bloom- but would mean £480 worth of highchairs! is it worth it?

No, not worth it at all!

Get an IKEA Antilop (£12) and put in a pink insert like this or this.

Nope, get an Ikea Antilop, by far the best highchair.

antilop doesn't recline- twins are only 9 1/2 lbs (at 6 months!!) and not sitting on their own yet!

imo it looks gorgeous but expensive....I have the chicco travel one and tbh I love the fact I can put it away after each meal time..with the bloom it is ideal is it will replace a chair at the breakfast bar iykwim BUT would be a pita if its to be in the lounge at meal times or put away after each feed...

Depends on what your usage will be iykiwm...

Don't have a Bloom but friend does. Personally I think it looks dirty after a while and not "designer" after several months of having weetabix, yoghurt and such like down it. Also the Bloom does have quite a large base so does take up more room than you'd expect it too.

I'd stick to a less expensive one. We have a Chicco Happy Snack and I find it quite easy to clean tbh. Gets hoovered out once a week and wiped round with Wilko cheapo anti-bac wipes after messy meals.

At the end of the day - it's you choice!

just realised, ours is the cosatto one....

We had for dd the m&p all singing all dancing one at £110 and regretted it...ds's only cost £40 and is much easier (as high chairs go...) and easier to clean etc.

just to update- we bought them [gulp]..........

and they are worth every penny! they look fab, are easily hidden under our table in the dining room after meals, and the girls love to sit in the kitchen with me at breakfast time.
