The Ikea antilop is all of those things, and about

?15 including tray, it's the one you see in lots of cafes etc, or you could look at ones like the phil and teds 'me too' or 'lobster' which clip onto a table plus are great for going out and about, if you have a table in the lounge, (even a low coffee table works) though they are a bit of a faff to clean..

You're quite right come to think of it, I was getting confused as you can pack it away by pulling the legs off..tho depending on the size of your sitting room, if it were a possibility to keep the antilop pushed to one side against a wall, I would say it might still take up less room, and would definitely look less of an eyesore than some of the bigger, gaudier ones even if they were folded flat and resting against the wall, say. Plus, I think that folding a highchair away 3 times a day to be less obtrusive in your sitting room might seem more feasible now, before you've started weaning in earnest, but you may find that becomes too much of a palava and prefer to have something with a quite minimalist design that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb, up all the time, if you see what I mean!

on the pricey side, but the Baby Bjorn 'Appetite' highchair is all the things you want. It doesn't fold completey flat, but it does fold fairly flat. Ease of cleaning has got to be it's best attribute. No harnesses, virtually nowhere for food to get stuck!

Ikea high chairs get my vote - so cheap, not offensive looking and you can take them away in the car with you pretty easily. they don't fold flat but you well find this isn't an issue as you end up leaving it out. i seem to spend much of the day feeding with the children in the high chair. on the upside, it does take up less room than others so you may not mind leaving it out. we thought we'd start off with an ikea one and send it to granny's if it didn't suit us. it never left our house and granny has 2 more expensive and not as good models.
Hi all thank you.. We don't have a table either, first baby so currently eat on lap trays but think we will need to get a grown up table one day.. Am going to check out the ikea and baby bjorn one.. Am blessed with a large front room even though with playmats, bouncy chair and all baby paraphernalia it seems to be shrinking rapidly!! X
I'm not sure trays for the Tripp trapp easy to find - especially with the new baby set. Whilst I love the Tripp trapp I don't think it would be good if you have no table! I tried my littlest in the baby bjorn one and thought it was fab -so neat and it does fold -it is like a nicer version of the ikea antilop.

We used (and loved) our Ikea Antilop from BLW at 6 months to 18 months (first with genrous-sized tray, then pulled up to table). We have now switched to a secondhand Tripp Trapp as my son could escape anyway so wanted something a bit more independent for him. Love the look of the TT and the supportive ledge for feet, and can see it's going to be ace for crafting/helping activities too.


Also recommend a table, especially if you have the space! We used to eat a lot of our meals in the living room on our laps pre-baby and pre-weaning and now we never do this which I much prefer.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
