ikea highchair?

[spu]

Has anyone seen this? It's cute, but is it stable? Does it have a tray.

I friend of mine had one, and I would have used hers if we had not already received a different chair as a gift. It is stable and very easy to clean. I believe it does have a tray, even though one is not shown in the pic.

I think it's nice. We've used them at our local IKEA (they have them in their coffee shop area!) and a friend has one. The tray is sold separately.

We got a FP Healthy Care that we got a great deal on ($50) but if we hadn't found that steal, I think I would have got this one. Sometimes I wish we DID have this because it's so low-key that I think my 2 year-old would still likely be using it (sans tray) at the table. I recently decided I didn't want to see that big 'ole FP chair anymore and put DD in a cushie booster...

Anyway, I think it's a great one to consider.

Here is the tray. It is a great chair. I know someone who got it as a handme down. It's great because it is so simple. You can throw it into the shower and wash it off it you need to. And a high chair for under $25, what a deal!!!

We have this highchair and love it. It's light, cheap, and super easy to clean. I think the new trays are a bit harder to get off than the older style, which we have. Still not a deal-breaker. No creavices to clean. Also, since the trasy is sold separately, you can easily and cheaply get another one any time you want. Also, it packs up pretty small, as all 4 legs come off the chair. We don't do it often, but we did take it apart and bring it for a thanksgiving dinner a couple years ago. HTH!

My SIL has a hand-me-down one that she's been using for two years with her son and she loves it. We bought one, too, but DD is just four months old and we haven't tried her in it yet. There is also an inflatable insert sold separately for smaller babies.

We have it and it has been great. We purchased it when our son was 18 months becuase he refused his highchair and we figured since he sits well in this when we go to Ikea we'd give it a go. Now that he is 27 months he is growing out of it, but he's a big boy. He weighs 34 lbs and is tall for his age. We did not buy the tray though.

Oh, what a good idea! We need a new high chair and this appeals to me way more than the big ones!

It is stable, and the tray is sold separately. It works better with kids who are a bit small in stature, so you may not be able to fit a large 2-year-old in it. One of my friends has one, and then these are often the highchairs that IKEA uses in its cafes (without the trays), so you can test drive it. They were out of it when I went to buy one, so I have a similar IKEA highchair and it has been through 2 kids and is still kicking around.

We have this highchair, without the tray, and love it. For the price, I am surprised it is still in good shape even after over 2 years of abuse.

I agree with Caroline that it fits a child in the smaller side. My dd could use it for a long time, I think till she was 2.5, but then she was and still in the petite side.

ETA: We also got the red cushion for comfiness.

My DD was using one at IKEA just recently and I thought she fit perfectly fine. She is 27 months and I would not say that she's on the petite side. She's 36, maybe 37 inches tall and abut 28 lbs. She's definitely on the big side for her age, although maybe more for height than for weight.

[lmwbasye]

We use this at my in-laws house. Works great for both my year-old nephew and my 30 month old son. My son is around 33 lbs and tall for his age and fits totally fine.

I would definitely recommend this one.

[egan284]

I think the cushion takes a bit of space, maybe that's why it was a tad bit tight for my dd. If you leave the cushion off it'll definitely give more space.

We have it and love it too! We junked the $$$$ Chicco one and got this to replace it. We've been SO happy--no crevices to clean!!
