recommendations for good feeding baby chair?

Shenzhennifer said:
I used a bumbo for the first week or so since it was available when I started my son on solids. I just put it on a chair, even though it`s not recommended.
Then I used a booster seat that was given to me by a friend. It was ok but it was still too low for me and hurt my back to be hunched over feeding him all the time.
Now I use a regular high chair that I got for a super cheap price off asiaxpat. It`s so so -foldable but still a bit bulky, but much better than using a booster for me.
A lot of people swear by the IKEA one, but I just don`t see the charm at all.
My ideal one would be a few years old Graco one - very basic and simple with flat but padded vinyl seat- but they don`t sell them like that here.

hi shenzhennifer - which chair is it that you got super cheap off asiaxpat?

as space is limited where i live so foldable would be good - i did look at the svan chair and the tripp trapp one but think it's out of my budget...

thanka2 - the bucket seems... like it'll fall off? sorry it's just my baby's so heavy and that looks a bit precarious? Or maybe it's cuz i have glass top table...

karmah1, which ikea chair? do you have the name for it?
 
solidstars,

the IKEA chair is called ANTILOP, you purchase the tray and chair separately. You can also buy a cushion support but I just used an old cushion i found at home.
 
Solidstars - the brand is Hauck, some German brand I`ve never heard of and the previous owner said she got it at Wing On. I can`t really complain for the price I paid, but I wouldn`t recommend buying a new one. I saw a decent one being sold...maybe the brand was Minibee - another I haven`t heard of - but it looked both sturdy and space saving once folded. I have no idea how much it would go for though. My friend uses a fisher price healthy start booster. I wanted that one, but glad I didn`t get it because my back still would have hurt from all that hunching over feeding (I`m not tall - about 160cm).
 
how about Peg Perego Tatamia?? Has any mama used it before?! Any comments on it? It just came out a couple of weeks ago in HK. It is a "3-in-1" highchair: a baby swing, a recliner, and a high chair.

Price for it is pretty steep.... does anyone know where I can get it besides 0/3 baby?
 
Solidstars - if you have a Jusco near you, have a look in their baby section. They have got some pretty basic, no-name brand high chairs there for $400-550. I was going to get one there at last resort if I never spotted the used one for sale.
 
i did try jusco but they don't seem to have much coices, i'm going to try wing on next... but so far, the ikea chair seems like a good alternative... though i wish i could spend XX$$ for the tripp trapp!
 
thanks everyone! i'm planning on going to ikea to have a look around, maybe in the long run the tripp trapp is a good investment... hmmm need to think further about this
 
I swear by the Svan high chair, which is sold in Bumps to Babes. Bought it for $1,499 when it was on sale in July. Works like the Tripp Trapp but the design is such that I do not need to pay more and get all the other accessories such as the tray, cushion, etc.
