Ikea high chair - opinion please!

lalitas charm · Feb 21st, 2010, 15:31 PM

I'm on the search for a high chair but I'm not sure if I should spend the money on a really good one or go for an ikea one which is cheap and cheerful and then have extra cash to put towards buying a jumperoo!

Has anyone got the ikea highchair and what do they think of it??

cheers!

we have this at my parents, but I might swap our chicco one for it because its SOOOOO easy to clean! no nooks and bits for food to get stuck in!

We bought this for Esmé to sit at the table with us whilst we eat. We were going to get a new chair when she started weaning but I think we may stick with this one.

Plus ours is red

My friend has the IKEA one and loves it. I have another friend who got a really expensive wooden one from John Lewis and her daughter screamed every time she had to sit in it, so they ended up using a booster type one that fits on a normalchair, which they got for £1 in a car boot sale!

I have two IKEA ones (one at home and one at Grandparents) and love it, go for it they are fab and only just over a £10

Is it the one that is black and white, and somehow looks a bit like the way a super marker trolley seat looks (sorry daft way of explaining!)
I saw them in Ikea and thought they looked really good, we need one for at my mums so I was going to get that one.

I like the look of the B&W one but for that price you can get a graco one.
