Quicky Please. HIghchair for a tiny baby.

[tictacto]

Anyone?
(dd)I have tried her in various wooden ones, even with the padding she freaks out and slides all over the shop. I need a highchair which will accomodate her tiny frame. I am now at the stage that I don't care what it looks like (so not me, I normally like to match everything with my mood boards ha!)

Ikea one? If you go for padded, go for a more basic one - the less folds and pads you have, the less places the food can get stuck.

Although saying that my Chicco thing (the name has rubbed off so can't see what one, it's about £100) would support a little baby easily because it is really padded, the leg bit lifts up so they can have their legs flat and it tilts back for some unknown reason.

never used one until they were bigger. used their bumbo on a chair or the seing or bouncy chair

Yeah, I used bumbo actually for the first week or so of weaning and held the plate up for him (BLW).

I meant swing - sorry

I have a tiny baby and when I started putting him in a high chair at 6mo he was very comfortable in this one (which is actually a booster seat)and is still comfy several months later.

Have you thought about a handysitt?

Dd2 is tiny, and she went straight into one of these at 6 months. I didn't push it up to a table then, just sat in front of her and held plates etc, but now, at nearly 9 months (and still tiny!) she sits up at a table ok.

They are brilliant, and last for ages - dd1 still fits in hers at 3.3 (and she's a very big 3!)

How lovely, I have replies

I have tried my friend's handysitt and she didn't take to it- slid all over the place- not sure about a Bumbo only because she have such tiny bits of string legs which would rattle around.

Bouncy chair is useless, you can't put it into a stable mode so she bounces everywhere poking her eye out on my spoon.

I have seen one called the Chicco Seventy- it looks like a Ezee boy armchair it's that padded!

that fisher price one looks cool actually.

We have a Chicco Seventy, given to us by a friend and although I have tried dd in it she is not tall enough to reach the tray. She's huge however, 23lb at 26 months, doesn't fit in her bumbo anymore! I started giving her bits of food yesterday with her sitting on my lap and today she just sat on the floor and I held a plate in front of her. Luckily she sits very well unaided so am sticking with that for now.

My Prima Pappa would suit. It reclines really far back so she could be as relaxed as you want and it has a harness and tray so she wouldn't be going anywhere!

Mothercare sell inserts if necessary.

We used the Ikea cheapo ones with both boys (not teeny, but not ginormous either) and just put a cushion in behind them for the first couple of months until they were a bit bigger.

I had the same problem with Tink as she was still very tiny around 6 months, probably about 10lb off the top of my head. We sat her in a baby walker as it held her all the way up, she wasn't tall enough to walk in it and we never left her long in it. As soon as she could reach the floor she was old enough to climb out so we stopped using it.

I took her to the baby show and they had Tripp Trapps there, I found they were good but she was a little bigger by then.

I use my wrap sling as a highchair now when I'm out, it holds quite tightly so that could work if you used a booster seat too.

Is that a typo? 23lb at 26 months isn't huge, Tink's closing on that and she's tiny, still in 6-9 at 16 months.

Yeah, I meant 26 weeks! 23lb at 26 weeks.

LOL, sounds absolutely enormous to me! Most babies are huge to me though hehe

We have this problem with tiny DD. She used to wobble all over in her Ikea chair but a rolled up towel down the back of the seat does the trick and is easily washed.

I've got a mamas and papas prima pappa and that would suit. Can be a nightmare to clean but it's very padded and reclines.
