The IKEA one, the white one, I think it's called Antilop...

It's the easiest to clean. That's all I have to say :laughing:.

I have a Fisher Price and it is excellent:smiliedance: . It also doubles as a booster when bub gets older. It is height adjustable and the back has 3 positions. It also has a piece that goes between their legs which helps stop them slipping down and also makes it much harder for them to climb out.

My friend had a chicco and hated it. DD could not sit up straight in it and was always slipping down. It was just horrible, bub was never at the right angle.

I had another friend who could never put the tray on their high chair as it came up too high and bub could not get her hands on the tray to retrieve the food, so a little pointless. Not sure on brand though.

We have the ikea one too. It's so easy to clean, and my DD can spread food into the strangest places. It's also great to push right up to the table so bub can eat at the table rather than being off to the side coz of the tray being in the way.
You can buy an inflatable insert to go in it for when bub is smaller, and it will last for ages, my 4yr old can still fit in it (not that he needs to, he just wanted to try it out one day so I put him in :laughing: )

I had a different one for DS, it had a nice padded seat, that was a pain to clean. It was height adjustable, but it was never the right height to push up against the table. It reclined, but DS liked to bounce up and down when he was in it and it cracked in a few places so we threw it out.
DS has used a self-inflating booster seat, one that straps onto a chair, since he was 2yrs old. I quite like that too, but I wouldn't use it for little bubs.

We have the Angelico Elite Hi Low Chair.. and i love it ! It's easy to clean... goes up high and low.. the seat also reclines and you can remove the tray if you like also.... I'm so happy with it.
We also used them at my work.. and they last a long while. :thumbsup:

We have the Fisher Price Healthy Care,

and whilst I love pretty much everything about it, the one thing I don't like is it is really wide at the base (legs seem to spread far apart), so we need quite a bit of floor space for it.

My high chair does the same but its a PegPerego (cost me $350 4 years ago).

I dont recommend the cheap ones (my mum has one at her house) and DS keeps falling down and is too far away from the table.

We had a PegPerego, it wasn't very good. It can't reach the table, hard to clean, and DD looked uncomfortable. I read reviews on the IKEA Antilop before I bought one, and its great. At first I thought she wouldn't be comfortable, but she loves it, and its so easy to clean, plus its only $45 including the tray, so we bought one for our house and one for the Grandparents. Its also easy to take to restaurants if we ever needed to take one. The price does not always show whether a product is good or not.

Trust me, get the IKEA Antilop! :) That's the only thing I like in that shop! :)

i have the PegPerego all i can say is, do not buy it :thumbsdown:

the Fisher price one is ment to be great, there is one on sale at the moment at toys r us for $100 saving you $130, i think it is called the "close to me"

DD's highchair is the 'mother's choice' brand.
Good for ages 4 months til 3 yrs old.
It is height adjustable in 6 different heights and the backrest has 4 sitting positions. It also has a piece that goes between their legs which helps stop them slipping down and also makes it much harder for them to climb out.
Comes with a tray that is easily removabe if ur lil one doesnt like it.
Length of it folded up is the length of a standard sedan car boot.
has the racing seat harness
