We have one of these :

It's a mothercare one, I got it second hand though. I liked it when I first got it, but it's SO big, and even when folded it doesn't really take up any less space than when unfolded. It took up a ridiculous amount of space in the kitchen and we were forever moving it around to have enough space to do stuff. It's up in the attic at the minute, but I want to sell it and get something smaller for next time.

so what highchairs have you tried that you didnt like then? :pinocchio: :giggle:


My eldest if nearly 16 so I can't remember the names of all of them but we have tried several different Chicco and M&P models,Tripp Trapp and various booster seats and travel seats we well. I like simple, practical and functional and the ikea chair ticks all the boxes for me. We have two of these chairs for some of the older kids as well:

all of our soft play centres around here use them as they are so cheap and small - perhaps one near you has them

Where's it from hun? We're looking for something like this for my mum to keep up here, but can't decide what. I've been going to find this thread all day to look at what was suggested as booster seats :D
