Grr, I have abandoned the tripp trapp and bought Ikea antilop

[ApuskiDusky]

I liked the principle of ds sitting at the table with us, but he just pushes finger food off the table onto the floor. With a tray, he can push food around without it falling off quite so often. And we can finally avoid him pushing his feet against the table edge and sliding the tripp trapp backwards.

Should have listened to the consensus on here and got the antilop in the first place!

Is this antilop the cheapy Ikea white one? I'm going to need a highchair at some point and was considering the cheapy white one

Antilop is beyond fantastic (although I will concede that its legs do stick out a little. And it does have holes for straps so we bought a harness to thread through and tie the kids down. And you can always remove the tray and bring them closer to the table.

that page linked to for the svan is them saying not to buy it!!

i've got tt and have loved it, used it every day for ds1 who is nearly 3
Have just ordered a 2nd one for ds2!

MamaG, yes, the antilop is the cheap ikea white one.

Wer have 2 tripp-trapps - ds still in his at 3.8 yrs, will get a couple more years out of it I expect.

But I think the antilop is a future design classic.

Ds moved from an Antilop into a Tripp Trapp (or BabyDan Danchair - can't remember which one it is now) - so don't bin it just yet - it'll be great for when your ds is older and better at sitting up at the table.

Antilop takes up about 56 x 60 cms floorspace, I just measured [highchair nerd].

measurements here
I am oing to get one for dd this week as i can't find the tchibo in stock anywhere

The Tchibo chair is still available online.

Bought 2nd hand TT's for both of ours. DD was out of the baby section by 16 months and they both use them as normal chairs now. I think they are fab.

We stopped using the baby kit before DD was a year old anyway. And for the baby I look after - I don't ever put it on (can't find it!) and just use reins to keen him in place.

Another Antilop fan here. I bought it for my parents and was so jealous of easy-clean no-seams-to-get-crap-stuck-in marvelousness that I ditched the very expensive one dh's aunt bought us (stored incase she ever visits) and got an antilop for us too. That was a very long sentence.

Anyway, ds has managed to stand up in it from time to time and put the fear of god into me, but the harness is only a lap one. You could probably fit a cheap pair of Boots reins to it or similar and it would be more secure. Otherwise, it's £11.99!!! £11.99!!!!! Crazy.

We've taken it away with us several times as the legs come off quite easily.

ooh thanks Bran it was coming up as sold out on mine , just ordered it

OOh thank you for floor measurement mybabyingarden!! I'll go and plot that out in the kitchen in a suitably nerdy manner!
