The highchair I wanted all along

I wish that I had just bought this high chair at the beginning of feeding my DS solids instead of wasting so much time with cleaning.  I eventually said that I wanted a high chair like the ones that they have in restaurants, researched pictures on google and found that this was the exact highchair that I had been dreaming of.  It is excellent for easy cleaning, great to transport as the legs come out and great for an older child.  I wouldn't recommend it for a very small child though as it doesn't have a harness.  The only other downside is that it can be quite hard to get DS out of this chair if he is wearing shoes...but he does have very big feet for a toddler.

Love this highchair so much that i have bought a second one for when my twins get older!  Didn't bother with the tray as we BLW'ed our DD, so she sat at the table with us from the day she started to eat.  Love that she now shares every meal with the family - the highchair is so super easy to clean that BLW was a breeze.  A quick wipe down after each meal and we were done!  I even take the chairs to the coast as the legs are easily removed!

I recently purchased this chair for my daughter and it is great.  Food doesn't get stuck in any cracks in fabric and is very easy to clean.  I have purchased the fabric insert to fit her in it a little better as she is only 6 months old still.  She loves to sit at the table with the rest of the family at meal times!

This can be used with the tray or without when older.

The only bad thing is that my daughter is still a little wobbly and sometimes leans back and bangs her head on the back of the chair, not really a problem but if I had to find a fault, it would be great to purchase some kind of cushion to slip over the back of the chair.

Also comes in a few colours, love the blue!

Best highchair

I recently purchased this highchair for my 6 month old on the recommendation of a number of friends and family.

I can't recommend this highchair enough! It is sturdy, extremely easy to clean (everyone kept saying this but it didn't realise how important this factor was until my little one started solids) and best of all so cheap!

It has straps to keep your child in the highchair and you can also buy a cusion insert for comfort which can just be thrown in the wash when dirty.

Only downside of this highchair is that the height cannot be changed or it cannot be folded, though these concerns aren't an issue for me and for the cheap price you don't really expect the chair to be able to do so.

Overall I would give this highchair 10/10. Love it!

Best High Chair ever

I originally had a timber high chair but found that it was hard to clean all the food out of the cracks and crevices.

I noticed this chair at a few cafes/pubs and really liked it, so I went to Ikea and got one.

The price first of all is awesome. I bought mine including the tray for $40.

Cleaning is soo easy, that are no crevices for food to hang around in and I just give it a spray of disinfectant and wipe over after each use. It still looks brand new (my timber one was losing varnish with every clean because I had to scrub it).

Choice of three colours, white, blue or red.

It is a nice sturdy chair which holds your baby in without having to use the straps (although it does have straps).

It is the only chair I would buy in the future.

i love this highchair. the price obviously sold me, but the ongoing practicality has won me over time and time again.

the ease of cleaning, the abilty to remove the legs to make it nice and compact for travel, and the price are my favourite parts.

the only negative i can think of are that it is not a 5 point harness and my son can easily stand up in it despite the waist strap. So i dont feel comfortable walking away from him when he is in it. however he can also now slip a five point harness and stand up in his car seat sp so i dont feel that would offer me sufficient advantage!

why anyone would pay the prices for some of those pther high chira baffles me, never mind cleaning up the padded seats!!!

This is the BEST highchair I have come across. It's simple and plastic, which basically means easy to use and easy to clean. It's very easy to assemble - the four legs basically click in and away you go. I will often unclick the legs and pop the highchair in the boot when visiting friends, as it's so easy to assemble upon arrival and it doesn't take up much room. The antilop is also very reasonably priced, much cheaper than most highchairs on the market. Highly recommend!

Doesn't look pretty but this is the best highchair i've come across!

Comfy for bub from an early age, and the middle support (btween their legs) makes it easy to sit them in there.

Easily adjustable straps.

Best of all, it's super easy to clean and doesn't seem to absorb smells like my other chair does.

Downside is that it doesn't have wheels, but it's so light that really doesn't matter.

Great chair.  Doesn't recline or do anything fancy, but it is so easy to clean.  No nooks and crannies for food to get stuck in.  Height is adjustable, packs down to nothing so you can take it with you on long holidays etc and is a great chair that is cheap to boot!

i love this highchair.  all 3 of my kids have used it over 5 years and i have been amazed at how well it has lasted compared to the 3 i had in my daughters first year before i found the ikea antilop. 

its so easy to clean, easy to transport - as the legs can be removed it fits in the car easily and we have taken it on holidays with us and to relatives places for meals when needed. 

its the perfect height to fit under our table so that my toddler can sit at the table like the other children but at a height that is right for him. and the legs don't stick out at funny angles like some chairs.

for a highchair that is so cheap it really lasts.   the infant insert is agreat idea and easy to wash.  was good for my bub who wanted to sit up and watch me cook.  

it would be nice if it had a over the shoulder harness too just for a little more support for the younger child and those who have a little houdini.

and if the tray was available in red or blue like the chair bases instead of just white.

Absolutely love this highcair. It's stylish, so easy to clean and cheap! You can buy an infant insert to use from about 4 months old, and even if your little one isn't ready for solids yet, they can have a sit and play with some toys on the tray table.

Even though the height is not adjustable, I've never found this to be a problem. My 2 year old still wants to sit in her chair, especially now she sees the baby use it ;) 

Another great thing is that the legs are easily removable. So the highchair is easily transportable, we take it to friends houses or on holidays for example. It is lightweight and takes up little space in the car. Highly recommended!

I LOVE this highchair. We replaced the one I had for my son with one of these. 

It is so easy to clean, which is important when doing baby led weaning. If it gets really messy, it can just be hosed down and dried off. 

Added bonus is that just about every restaurant/cafe has these high chairs, so bub is used to sitting in it when you go out. 

At less than $30 you'd be mad to buy anything else!

We had a fancy, padded high chair which was a nightmare to clean.  That has now been sold and replaced by an Ikea Antilop.

So far I haven't found anything about it that I don't like - it's light, extremely easy to clean, and positions bub in a much better feeding position than our previous high chair.

I would highly recommend this.  We even bought one for my mum's house.

I love this chair,

It is simple easy to use and easy to clean.

The highchair I had previously had all the bells and whistles but took 1/2 an hour to clean every time my daughter had a meal and I never seemed to get it clean. This chair is clean in no time.

The chair is a great height and has been fine for all the tables I have used it at so far. It could probably do with a foot rest but then it would start to make it complicated to take apart and put together. 

The price is great too. Starting at $29.99, then you can add padding and a table to it if you prefer. 

Great chair love it.

Easy, simple, no fuss.  The simple design also gave me confidence that no little fingers were going to get trapped anywhere.  It's so easy to clean too.  The only thing that was missing was a foot rest but my Dad made up something that we attached to use as a foot rest.

I bought 2 Ikea Antilop Highchairs, 1 for me and 1 for Nan's house.  Seriously LOVED everything about it ... cheap, chic/modern/stylish, easy to keep clean, lightweight, compact, etc.  However, I have just discovered that my 9 month old boy can tip it up and make it move from one spot to another just by rocking in it.  I was washing up after feeding him, and I must admit that I had seen him rocking it in previously and making it move, but he started rocking in it (very vigorously) and it started moving, then next thing, it was starting to tip up on 2 legs and I raced from the sink to him as quick as I could.  A girl from my Mum's group told me months ago that the Ikea Antilop highchair wasn't safe, but I thought she was just being a snob because she has some $300+ highchair and I had the $40 Ikea job ... unfortunately turns out she was actually right and not being a snob about it at all.  Anyway, I'd also like to add that if you've got a quiet, relaxed baby then it's not going to be a problem, and seriously, for $40 bucks its probably cheap enough to just give it a go and see  what happens anyway.  I just wouldn't ever leave your bub in it or venture too far away whilst they are in it, just in case!!!!  I've only rated it a 1 in the "Happy With It" due to the safety factor alone.  Otherwise I've been completely happy with it, but when it comes to our babies I feel that safety is paramount.

This has to be one of the best highchairs i've used, its easy to clean, you can easily take the legs off so you can transport it to other places, light as a feather to move it around, you can get a padded insert for the younger baby, the only downfalls to the highchair is that the tray can be a bit hard to take off at first, but easy once you get the hang of it, and it only comes with a 2 point harness, which can be easy for bub/toddler to loosen, especially when they are trying to escape

This high chair was given to us by a friend and we find it very easy to use for babies from when they can sit up. The whole tray comes off the top, so you can also use it as just a chair pulled up to the table, which is what we do with our 2 year old now. The legs do stick out a bit and we have tripped over them a few times, but it is very light and easy to move, so we just push it out of the way when we're not using it. As there are not many grooves and it's all hard plastic, except for the straps, and the tray and chair are each one piece, it is very easy to clean, which is great for busy mealtimes! It also comes apart easily and can be stored in a small space. We really like it and would recommend it to others.

I was reluctant to get the Ikea highchair because I had heard that the legs stuck out a bit meaning it took up a lot of space but after using it at a few restaurants I rushed out and got one. This high chair is fantastic! I love that it is so easy to clean, is light, great value for money and isn't ugly. I would definitely recommend getting the tray that attaches as well. There is nothing I don't like about this highchair - we now have one at my in-laws as well.

VERY pleased with this. Its a very cheap high chair - but its fantastic. Its really easy to clean. Its not a huge monstrosity taking over your kitchen, its compact and neat.

Downside maybe that it doesn't have wheels or that it doesnt' fold up - but you can easily take the legs off and travel with the base.

It doesn't recline, but its for eating, not napping in!!

Extra padding you can get was great when babe was young.

We bought a very expensive high chair which is great but impossible to clean. This high chair is probably better for older babies, the expensive one we have is more padded and secure for when they are smaller, but Ikea high chair great for when they are a bit older. It's so easy to clean, can be easily moved, you can remove the tray to have it up against the table and best of all it's cheap! You can afford to buy additional ones to leave at the grandparent's houses. I really recommend this high chair, I just don't think it's very comfortable for younger babies, but great when they are a bit older.

I love this chair. So so easy to clean. I bought it with the tray for $49. It is the perfect height for pulling up to a standard table (with tray removed). It's light-weight yet sturdy. Legs can be removed if required for storage or travel. I previously had a second hand Peg Perego which drove me nuts due to tray being too high for my baby and padding that tore and retained food remnants. Bub needs to able to sit upright, very well. Not good for a very young baby.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this high chair! After reading the reviews i got on hear and speaking to other mums IRL, i decided this was the high chair for me!



Being a first time mum, i have wanted only the best for my dd and i always thought best meant spending lots of $$$....how wrong i was! For a measley $50 you get a perfect highchair that is sooo easy to clean and carry around.



My daughter absolutely loves it and is happy to sit in it even when its not lunch/dinner time.



I think there are only 2 downsides to the chair



a) it doesnt have padding (although a blow up cusion can be bought seperately for smaller bubs) and my dd when excited arches her back and tends to hit her head on the back of the chair......but then again having no padding/cover makes it sooo much easier to clean and



b) it cant be folded for storage.



Otherwise I think this is a perfectly affordable and effective high chair!

Bought this for my second son - it's much better than the all singing version we had for number one.

Cleans very easily, dismantles in a moment for storage or travel. Can use with tray, or without at the table. Strap is simple and secure - even though it is lap only - because there is no footrest, my son can't climb out.

If you want to use it with a small bub, Ikea sell an inflatable (wipeclean) cushion.

And the cost: suberb!!

The small cost & easy clean feature must be why you see it at so many cafes and restaurants.

This highchair, recommended to me by fellow Hubbers, has won me over for value for money, ease of use & cleaning.

Value for money - I paid $39 for this chair & tray. I can remove the tray later on & the chair will fit under the edge of my dining table, which means I don't have to purchase a separate chair for my son when he wants to sit at the 'big table'.

Ease of use- This chair is very light , I can pick it up with one hand (empty) to move it. The lapbelt is sufficient to stop him from getting his legs under him. I can stand the whole highchair over things on the floor ie:toys, bucket, stool, mess! when my son is in the chair I can either lift the whole caboosh or pull/push him accross the floor. The legs come out & the tray comes off easily for travel/storage & it's very light as well.

Cleaning - one quick wipe & this baby is clean. The only crevice is between the chair & table which is easily removed & cleaned. Having said that food rarely getys caught there ATM. Added bonus, when the mess is too great the whole chair can be easily carried to the shower & washed off.

Downside of this chair - on occasion I have sat in front of it & pulled it towards me by the tray. This disconnects the tray from the chair. When i purchased this chair DS was 4-5 months & too small to sit in it effectivly so I had to put a cushion behind him.

I have owned a plush cushioned chair but found cleaning it a lengthy annoying process.

This chair will be with me for life!

This high chair has been fantastic. It is not an all-singing and all-dancing high chair but the beauty of this is in the simplicity.



It has a more than adequate food tray which is easily removed for cleaning. The design of the chair means that it is impossible for food to get trapped anywhere! The plastic that the chair is made of also cleans very easily and after a heavy amount of use, ours is still a pristine white.



There is only a single strap to harness a child in however the child is reasonably secure when in the chair but we never leave our son alone when he's in the chair. We are also lucky that our son is not a prolific climber and is more than happy to sit.



When babies are first learning to sit up, you can buy a blow up cushion which helps to make the child feel more comfortable and secure.



The Antilop cannot be adjusted in height, the seat does not recline and it does not fold up which may be a drawback for some. However, it does not take up a great amount of room and when the child is ready to sit at the table, the tray can be removed.



It has been fantastic to buy something baby-related that doesn't cost a lot of money and is so practical.
