Creeps in very quietly........


My horror of a child broke her highchair tonight by trying to climb into it using the footrest. It just sort of snapped. I hated it anyway because she was too far from the tray and it reclined too much so she looked uncomfortable. So i'm secretly pleased and gave her a gingerbread man to celebrate the demise of the rubbish highchair!

Anyways, I'm looking for a new one now and was thinking about the Ikea antilop. But considering she's 15 months I was wondering how long it was likely she would use it/be able to sit in it for. Can anyone give me an indication?

Love to all xxxx

I'm sure she'd get quite a bit of use out of it, i dont have an antilop but jas is nearly 18 month and she still needs to be in her high chair, she does have breakfast in the mornings at the ikea table we've got but i spend the rest of the day finding random pieces of toast everywhere cos she wont keep still! oh and this morning jake left his glass of juice on the table while i was putting his shoes on in the living room, she walked through with an empty glass... yep she'd tipped it, she is a nightmare lol! you might need to attach some harness thing to it tho if she's anything like my monster, x

Krystal, wow, that's a dramatic birth!

CAFC, saw your post on fb about evil snapping buggy. That's an extra reason to get another one.

I haven't got a 'popular' pram, but I love it. It's a 2nd hand Bertini which can change from a pram to pushchair, and be forward or parent facing. It is rather huge, but that's ok

Congratulations Auntie Krystal Mookie - I don't know about stopping using high chairs, but we've been using a table and chairs since Izzy was just over 1 I think. Means I can't strap her in and keep her put though, so getting a cheap high chair while you can still get away with it might not be a bad plan

We tried the table and chair thing tonight for dinner but she wouldnt keep still. She never keeps still in fact and I mean never! Hubby thinks theres something wrong with her - but he's just mean .

Hello

I used the highchair with both my older two until they were somewhere between 1.5-2yrs old, I thinks ds1 was nearer 2yrs and ds2 was nearer 1.5yrs:) Not much help, but tbh if she is a good eater and will sit still whilst doing so, I wouldn't bother with one.... I think I will need a highchair for ds3 until he is about 5yrs:rotfl:

sounds like jas! i did intend to use the table for all meals when i first got it but it was too stressful (for me lol), jake was a really chilled out baby and i got rid of his before he was 2 i think, i would go for a highchair esp since its cheap x

Mookie you clearly need to take him to toddler group with you on his day off! Has he never met a child before. Something wrong with her because she won't sit still. :rotfl:

Benjamin is a strapping boy of 18 months (filling out his 18-24 month clothes) and he still fits in his fine. He can sit at the table with us but he faffs too much to be honest.

For ten quid it is definitely worth it
