Any suggestions on high chair loathing ds?

[Nbg]

After a couple of months battling with weaning, ds has decided he likes BLW to an extent.
He would happily play with food for all of 2 minutes then scream.
He would not be spoon fed at all.

Anyway today I decided to feed him some breakfast whilst he was sat on the floor. He loved it! I have thought for a while that he wasnt happy sitting in his high chair and I think today confirmed it.
But the only thing is that he wants to be on the move and playing with toys.
He will pause to have a mouthful of food but is off again. Not only that, I want to encourage him to sit at the table with the rest of the family.

Any ideas on what I can do?

a booster seat that you attach on to a normal dining chair?, they come either with or without a tray. we used one for both ours, came from mothercare. if you get one with a detachable tray, the tray helps keep them in it when they're little. ds much prefers being at the big table with everyone else.

Does he have a highchair with a tray? If so, take it off! I think LucyKate has a point - we never used the tray on ours and DS now understands that he can eat snacks on the move but that meals are at the table.

Hmmm, I wonder.
We have a booster that dd uses but it has no tray or belt on it.

I might have a look at them.

Yes it has a tray. Its one of those big horrible chunky Chico things.

if it has no belt, sometimes there are ways of attaching baby reigns to use as a harness if that helps.

otherwise, a small table and chairs, like the kids ones from ikea (not sure how old your ds is though). ours love sitting together like this.

He's only just 7 months.

Ds would happily eat is he was sat on someone's knee, helping himself to their plate! Never did last long in the highchair...

eek, bit young for a separate table and chair!

we've got one of these

or what about a bumbo? it would have to go on the floor but would keep him still for a mealtime

Yes that looks good.
Not sure about a Bumbo as I've heard alot of bad things about them. Plus I think ds would protest to being held down.

If my DD is in a bad mood she will not tolerate her highchair but loves her Bumbo. She is 7 months too. I give her something to play with in the Bumbo (usually a bottle of water as she loves those). I then hand her chunks of food (not strict BLW I know) and she finds it really fun.
