High chair

[imuran]

I have a Chicco one and I love it. I wouldn't be able to feed her if I didn't have a highchair. She just keeps moving around when sitting on my lap.

I will be feeding my son in a couple of weeks time and brought a Bumba seat for him to sit in - see below link for details.

I don't think you'll be able to use the Bumbo seat for very long. Some babies have outgrown it at 6months.

Regarding the Stokke, does anyone else find their baby slides down in it? My 16 month old always slouches down and ends up nearly falling out of it. We adjusted the wooden plates but he still does it.

I like the IKEA one, it's simple and basic. It doesn't have a tray, which means you have to use it at a table, but that's ok for us.

Love the Stokke. My daughter is petite and we've not had the same problem as hkaussie. The suggested configuration has a wooden slat so that bubs can put feet on it, but this means that she can effectively wiggle into a standing position.
We also started in a Bumbo but very easy to get out of and means you have to sit on the floor for feeding.
I guess no chair is designed to imprison your baby; IMO it's a balance between security, safety and training.
I highly recommend the Stokke. I like that we can eat together at the dining table. It's very easy to clean and looks nice.
In fact, if anyone has one they don't want, I'll need a second soon!

Hi there, I'm new here and I am looking also for a highchair. For my daughter I use the Chicco Happy Snack. Easy to handle, it can be fold away and easy to clean. For my son (he is almost 5 months) I am going to buy also a Chicco. I think it is gonna be the Polly. The Chicco highchairs are of a good quality

the IKEA plastic one has a tray, you have to pick it up seperately ($50). definetely gets my vote - sturdy & easy to clean.

Welcome.
Think I'm going to get the Stokke one. Know the Ikea one would probably be great but just like the look of the other one. Does anyone know where I can buy them (or anyone finished with theirs and fancy selling it on?).

We also started in a Bumbo (we borrowed it) before my daughter could sit on her own, and fed her on the floor.
We then got the Ikea chair . Love it. cheap, light and compact. Easy to take onto the roof for alfresco meals

You can get the Stokke in Mothercare or Western Trading, Wellington Street - the building next to Pacific Coffee. They have the whole range of colours of wood and cushions and you can carry it out there and then.
