Those chairs are also great for taking to friends' house for suppers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highchair#post-396532 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 09:34:07 +0000 Mrsbells 396532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we use the fisherprice deluxe booster seat. It is awesome and best of all it has no fabric so it cant get grubby and yucky.

We are planning on buying it for LO, can't beat the price!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highchair#post-396507 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 09:24:25 +0000 IcebergMom 396507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: those are awesome but be careful your LO doesn't use her legs to kick against the kitchen table. Mine flipped her chair backwards after launching off the table with her feet and I caught her inches from the ground. That's why I went back to using my freestanding chair until she can listen to reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highchair#post-396469 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 09:01:20 +0000 Smurfette 396469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We registered for this one. We wanted one that would just go on a chair we already have so it takes up less space. I have a couple friends that use it and really like it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11981516" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11981516</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highchair#post-396457 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 08:55:50 +0000 LivsMama 396457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im with @IcebergMom: Go plastic. The Boon one is great. We have an Eddie Bauer Wooden one. While its beautiful and fits in with our decor, its imporssible to keep clean.</p> <p>Also, in my experience (liv is 16 months) YES it is necessary. She eats square meals while in her highchair. If I try to feed her on the couch or in the living room, she grazes and gets distracted and wont eat enough, then gets grumpy and hungry. It lets them know "time to eat" and allows time to learn to use utensils and associate the table with food time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highchair#post-396364 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 07:37:30 +0000 Weagle 396364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the FP booster and the Ikea Antilop. I LOVE the Antilop!!! Super cheap, super easy to clean, and it's smaller. A younger baby fits well in there. We haven't used the FP booster yet because the Antilop has been so easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highchair#post-396332 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 06:19:46 +0000 BelugaBean 396332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom just sent us a Graco highchair last night as a surprise. It's the one that converts four ways so I'm excited to use it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highchair#post-396245 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 00:41:38 +0000 Freckles 396245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the exact same one as @chopsuey119. I was originally going to get the Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair for its aesthetics, but forgot about it when we started using the Fisher Price chair. We got it for a shower gift, and i love it. I brought it when we went out because LO no longer liked sitting in the car seat at restaurants, but was still a bit wobbly for the restaurant high chairs. </p> <p>It's plastic and you can easily take it apart and scrub it down. So much food gets on the high chair, i would stay away from fabrics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highchair#post-396136 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:11:52 +0000 IcebergMom 396136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recommend sleek and plastic. Ours is wooden and is a food trap everywhere!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highchair#post-396135 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:11:10 +0000 IcebergMom 396135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use one and like it. Hate the actual chair but its a must have for us. We also use it for Skyping with my parents! Or sometimea lo sits in it and watches me cook. Very handy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highchair#post-396130 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:07:37 +0000 heffalump 396130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always use a high chair, couldn't live without it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highchair#post-396099 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:47:24 +0000 chopsuey 396099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: we have this. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Healthy-Deluxe-Booster-Green/dp/B0000DEW8N" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Healthy-Deluxe-Booster-Green/dp/B0000DEW8N</a></p> <p>been using it since LO was 6 months old. (she's 19 months old now).<br /> Love it. it's portable so you can take it places. space saver since you put it on a chair. all plastic and so easy to wash. </p> <p>Best of all, it's CHEAP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highchair#post-396090 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:41:00 +0000 immabeetoo 396090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE the look of the Boon @KRsmall ! Unfortunately my husband was not keen on the price tag. We'll be buying the fisher price space saver once baby is here/older it seems to be the best space saving, economical option that gets lots of good reviews. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highchair#post-396015 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:47:34 +0000 littlek 396015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are about to purchase one. We are waiting till LO is 6 months. We are getting the Boon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highchair#post-396002 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:41:53 +0000 pl0508 396002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you use a high chair? Trying to decide if this is necessary. I'm happy to buy one but if it is going to just sit in my kitchen and take up space and I don't use it that is another story. </p> <p>Did you use one? If not, what did you do for feedings once your LO got a little bigger? If you did, what kind do you recommend? </p>
