High chairs

[kashismum]

I have the Stokke - got it one my LO was 6 months. I like the fact it doesn't have a tray and she eats at the table with us.

However, she now doesn't like to sit in it and prefers to stand. Somehow, she manages to stand up in it quite easily and it did almost tip once. So, it is possible to fall out of it. Any tips on this? I really don't want to plonk her in front of the TV to distract her.

Another perspective

We have the Stokke and love it!

Used a Peg Perego Prima Pappa until about 20 months of age (I prefer the ability to strap in restless babies! and love th tray that they can mess with until they're "over" that phase) but then looked for something to integrate our toddler into family mealtimes in the dining room more easily.

Why a Stokke? Simple construction, toddler can get on and off by himself, easy to clean wood, pulls right up to the dining table. He loves his big boy chair.

Also stylish enough (we have the dark wood) to blend beautifully with our regular furniture.

A booster seat wasn't an option I liked: they weren't going to be safe on our upholstered dining chairs. Our chairs and big and deep, realisitically our son isn't going to be able to sit on them and reach his food comfortably until he's at least 6! The Stokke is a wonderful option for him to grow with until then (he's almost 3 now). Also don't fancy the volume of food spillage on our dining chairs that we'd encounter if we tried to sit him on them with some kind of booster!
