High chair advice

[uptime]

I was really keen on buying the Tripp Trapp, especially after reading the endorsements on the forum, but we have carpet in our dining room. The Stokke video recommends against using the Tripp Trapp on carpeted surfaces but I don't know whether that's just them being over-cautious. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on another more suitable high chair?

Also can anyone advise what to put over the top of the carpet to protect it from flying food? I've seen plastic carpet protector but wondered whether I should just get a cheap rug and throw it out when it's totally splattered. Would be grateful for any advice.

We've got the Baby Bjorn high chair and it's fantastic; quite possibly the best thing we've bought for our daughter.

Kate, do you put it on carpet?

I have several friends who use the Tripp Trapp on carpeted areas not sure what the problem would be- or am I being thick?! They really are great chairs!

Not yet as I'm currently just feeding her in the kitchen which is tiled. I put her in it when I'm doing things in the living/dining room and she plays quite happily with a toy. I plan on putting an old towel under it when we start eating together as a family in the dining room to catch the spills.
