Any advice on highchairs?

[Knomester]

We bought a lovely red Tripp Trapp for Baby Knomester in the end and I'm really pleased so far. We did buy the cushions for the baby attachment and still need to wedge him in with things, but that probably has a lot to do with the fact that he's a thin baby and not really interested in sitting up yet! I can see that they'll probably end up spending more time in the wash than on the chair once he gets cracking on feeding himself!

Next Tripp trapp question! Did you use the harness? If so do you need the Tripp trapp one or can you buy a cheaper generic one?

Knomester - quite liking the idea of a red highchair!

I've bought the harness but don't need it yet as Baby Knomester isn't mobile yet. My friend uses a set of toddler reigns to strap her little one in.

Ooh, I think I'm the friend Knomester is talking about! Yes, you can use normal toddler reins instead of the pricey alternative. Get them in Mothercare or online for a couple of quid. I didn't need anything for my daughter who never tried to get out of the chair but my son was an early escape artist! He's grown out of it at 14 months so I don't need to use the reins any more. So all in all, don't bother with the expensive straps!

Ikea Antilope is so esay to clean, store, pack away for weekend and so cheap, I love the simple look but not for wood lover
