can anyone recommend a highchair??

[Moomin1000]

Hi, I live in a small house and im looking for a highchair that will fold away small and is easy to clean??? Also not too expensive. Any help greatly appreciated xxx

usingapseudonym If you're using the highchair to feed solids in (which I assume is the reason you'd want one!) then a child should be able to sit unaided before you wean (which is about 6mo) - so you shouldn't need cushion inserts or props or anything.

Sorry didn't explain well! I meant I can't currently imagine 2 months ahead to her sitting in it! Made sense in my head . . .

Antilop all the way for us, it gets a wipe down after every meal and then is like new again

UsingaPseudonym we have an ikea one at GP's and stokke at home - DS no longer uses highchair he's 4 but still uses the stokke at home and it's easily convertible when we've had friends with babies round - although some bribery is needed to get DS to give up his chair
Tbh it's great and functions as a spare adult chair if needed - yes it is expensive but it's proper furniture and has lasted us years, we bought it after a friend recommended it they have had theirs for nearly 10yrs

Ikea anti lop is fab, really as everyone says, so easy to clean too!

Ikea antilop. Ace. No faffing about with straps either.

Stoke Tripp trapp gets my vote too! Although v interesting that almost all votes on here are for ikea antilop. Is it just because it's such good value or does it have any good features? I feel like I've missed a trick here!

I don't know why highchairs that go on the floor are so popular when there are ones which will sit on your normal chairs and therefore take up loads less space? For a small home of course. :)

Ikea Antilop, no question.

We just used a bumbo. DD stopped using it about 16 months and from then sat in a big persons chair. We have a small house so weren't bothered with a high chair.

Another vote for antilop here too. We got the cushion insert too as DD2 sat at the table with us at meal times even before she was eating & this was a much better solution than a bouncy chair on the floor. (but those who have said being able to sit unaided in the chair before weaning are correct)

Antilop doesn't fold away but it did push under our table so was quite out the way iyswim.

PinkPolkaDots, no fancy gadgets on the Ikea one. It's plain and simple and that's why it is so fab. No leg rest for them to bounce around on, no soft seat for them to keep hurling themselves back into, easy to clean and V V V cheap! Truly an amazing high chair. Con is it doesn't fold away. We live in a tiny house so it does take up room but the advantages far out way that

We have an antilop and love it, but if it is a bit large and taking the legs off every time is too much hassle ikea also does a fold up one which a bit pricier but still a good buy.

The fold away ones tend not to clean easily, so you need to choose one or the other feature IMO.

Easiest to clean and quite good looking too (as it will be on show all the time) are the Stokke one, or for a much lesser price tag the Ikea one with four legs. If you can afford the Stokke model it's great in a small space as, once the baby set is off (about 18 months old) it can double as a stool for an adult to sit on.

We got the Baby Dan one, its similar to the Stokke one but way cheaper, it fits neatly under the table if you've got that kind of space. It was on amazon for about 70quid and will fit them for years.

We have a big chicco polly thing, but it folds small. We have a tiny house too! It suits us as we needed something solid. Also good when ds falls asleep while having lunch as it can tilt back!

I went to Ikea and went to their cafe to look at the Antilop, picked one up and tonnes of water gushed out of it which completely put me off. They are also quite small and ds is HUGE. (At 5 months he got stuck in a highchair in Mothercare when we were testing them, took 2 people to get him out. Ooops!)

I would go to a few shops and try them, then order online!

me -antilop too!!
