High Chair - buying help

  • We got this one for DS1:

    It folds in half nicely and fits in our boot, so we can take it with us if we go to visit someone who doesn't have a high chair handy. We've been using it for 2 years now and it's still going strong and is easy to clean.

    I have the Cosatto 3sixti and I do love it however If I was buying again I'd buy the Stokke Trip Trap.

    We are using the Ikea one atm at my parents and tbh I think my toddler could tip it easily. He is boisterous though.

    We had a cosatto one given to us and it was cr@.p.

    Bought this one instead. Brilliant. Easy to clean, nowhere for bits to hide. DD (3) is now using it as a chair at the table.

    We had one of these for when out and about.

  • I love the Stokke Trip Trap, but we currently have the Cosatto Noodle. Does the job and also comes with a 4 year guarantee.
  • ikea, every time. We also have a tripp trapp, which was a gift, but I loved the ikea one - had one at each grandparents house and one as a spare at ours for guests. Easy to use, easy to clean, easy to take apart and store, easy to transport, and an excellent upright position for baby.

    I had 2 x ikea ones (twins). They stack without the trays on qand you can pull the legs off to put them in the car or dishwasher. We never used an inflateable pad either. I got a silicone pan stand for them to sit on so their bum didn't slide. We got one from an NCT sale for £3 and sold it on for the same. They are indestructable and have no crevices to hide weetabix and orange mush.
  • Another vote for the IKEA one - I had expensive cushioned ones with my first two and would never go back to that style after trying and then buying the Antilop(?) for number 3. Cheap, so easy to clean and DD is super happy in it :) if you remove the tray, you can pull it right up to the table so your LO can eat off the table like everyone else....I suppose that would depend on table height though??

    Another vote for the Ikea Antilop. We had an expensive high chair bought for us when we had DD and it was a nightmare, I used to have to clean the crevices out with a toothpick, bits of food used to get everywhere. So we got the Antilop when DS was a baby and it was fab. We didn't bother with the tray because it was the right height for our kitchen table so his bowls and plates just used to go on the table.

    The Antilop and also buying a washing up bowl to bathe baby in are the two things I'm most evangelistic about when it comes to buying stuff for babies!

    And it looks like we made it once again
    Yes it looks like we made it to the end
  • I haven't read all the replies but we have the IKEA one. It's cheap, sturdy and easy to clean. Everyone I know has one.

    We have one that goes on top of a normal chair, I'm not sure where its from as my brother gave it to us, its mainly rubber, a bit like a bumbo (is that what they are called) but much taller and it has straps to keep them in.
