The fancy ones have fabric and all these crevices and nooks for food to hide and rot and that's just so gross to me. I like knowing there's nowhere for food to hide and I can clean it easily. I can also store it by disassembling it and putting into a box for my next kid. And $15. You can't beat that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1813058 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 05:44:01 +0000 Pumuckl 1813058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Leander highchair as our primary highchair at home that grows with LO but the IKEA one is the one we have at grandparents' and great-grandma's. Love it - it's really easy to clean and super light-weight. Also we have disassembled it a couple of times to take it to places which is really easy too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1813018 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 01:57:32 +0000 lamariniere 1813018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have one, but lots of restaurants here do, so I have used them often! You can't beat it for style and price and it is totally functional. </p> <p>That said, I decided on a Tripp Trapp because I wanted something that would last beyond babyhood. My son was definitely too big for the Antilop by 16/18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812955 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:31:43 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1812955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: thanks for checking!! No it's okay...we're moving on to find a different option ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812948 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:26:36 +0000 ALV91711 1812948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love that it is so easy to clean and doesn't take up much space.</p> <p>I do trip on it quite often though when DS is in it.</p> <p>My mom bought one for her house too.</p> <p>I think for what you pay they are a good chair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812709 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 19:46:58 +0000 spaniellove 1812709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hotchildinthecity: Did you end up getting them? There's a chance I might be going to the South Philly Ikea this weekend and I can check for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812693 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 19:40:14 +0000 travelgirl1 1812693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one at home and also use the one at @oliviaoblivia:'s. As she said, the straps broke on that one and my LO used to climb out of it and dance on the tray and seriously give me a heart attack. But we have had no problems at all with the one at home, other than I struggle to get the tray off. I wouldn't bother with the cushion you can buy for it, it gets clarted with food straight away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812683 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 19:36:47 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1812683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just now leaving the Paramus, NJ Ikea. They had the seat and tray but no legs :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812586 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 18:22:34 +0000 spaniellove 1812586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: I'd prefer not to use a cushion if he can sit in the chair without one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812582 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 18:20:22 +0000 californiadreams 1812582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: that is not the cushion I got to go with it. I found the cushion a pain because it gets dirty immediately and then I put in the laundry and couldn't use it for a few days. During those few days I discovered it was not necessary at all, nor did I want to keep creating more laundry, so I never used it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812575 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 18:17:25 +0000 spaniellove 1812575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad I bought one last year just for the heck of it! I'm curious what I can do to use it when we're starting solids. </p> <p>Is this the pad for it?<br /> <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40273197/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40273197/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812568 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 18:13:36 +0000 californiadreams 1812568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have it and am 100% satisfied, even given the minor complaint that I find the straps hard to clean. but the rest is so easy to clean it wins out. We have taken it travelling too (by car) as it is so easy to take apart and put together. </p> <p>My mom bought one for her apartment too so even though they are discontinuing I guess I can get it from her if I ever need a second one!</p> <p>The tray drove me bonkers for the longest time until I finally figured out how to take it off. now it's easy. Though once LO got older, we stopped using the tray altogether and just push the chair to our table (it is the perfect height for our table). The cushion was a waste of $5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812491 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 17:24:39 +0000 QBbride 1812491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: thanks! I'll try that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812484 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 17:21:53 +0000 lemondrop 1812484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love them! I'd buy an extra tray if they have them, just nice to have a spare. </p> <p>@QBbride: I pull out on the 4 inside tabs (just above the leg holes) and apply slight upward pressure on the outside of the tray with my other hand. It doesn't take a lot of force. Then lift up and towards me to pull the hooks out at the elbows. With practice I can get it off really easily! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812440 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 17:02:57 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1812440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an antilop and a Tripp trapp. There are pluses and minuses to both. I don't like how much space the legs take up with the antilop and found my self tripping over it way more than I did with the tripp trapp. The straps on our also broke fairly soon after purchase and I found that really irritating. For the price though it's amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812428 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 16:56:57 +0000 banana 1812428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I recommend it to all my friends. We have the Antilop and Tripp Trapp and I swear, we use the Antilop much more often than our Tripp Trapp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812399 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 16:46:49 +0000 Cherrybee 1812399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our local pub has them and we love them!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812387 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 16:41:27 +0000 MrsRoo 1812387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! Super easy to clean, and it comes apart easily so we can travel with it if needed too.</p> <p>@hotchildinthecity: thanks for the heads up! Was planning on picking one up to keep at my dads house. I hope they still have some in stock here... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812338 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 16:18:46 +0000 JessKas 1812338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love ours! We got the padded insert started to use it around 4 months, although not with food (we started solids at 6 months). It's so easy to use, and I love that I can hose it off when it's really dirty. My MIL even got one for her house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812273 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 15:47:11 +0000 QBbride 1812273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got one but question, how do you get the tray off? Is there a special trick? That's my one complaint, the tray is really difficult to get off.</p> <p>Also, I find the edge of tray kind of far from my son (with our other high chair I could push the tray right up to him). He self-feeds so a lot of food falls on his lap.</p> <p>For the price though, it's great! And I actually like the way it looks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812096 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:41:01 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1812096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fyi they're discontinuing it! I had all intentions of getting one. We're hoping they have extra stock in the ikea we're going to tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812063 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:33:32 +0000 illumina 1812063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely love the thing! So easy to clean and LO is happy enough sitting in it. I ended up buying another to keep at my parents' house. It's really portable too, we often take it with us if we go away anywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812055 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:31:18 +0000 meredithNYC 1812055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have one and love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812035 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:25:01 +0000 filly 1812035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: i don't know about this chair for when they're infants but my Aunt/Uncle had these for us when we went to visit them in FL for a week, my twin girls were 19 months and I loved these. </p> <p>They were very easy to clean, to move around, they had the padded insert which helped w/ extra wiggle room, and I also liked that they're a pretty great height. </p> <p>Also, the girls seemed to stay seated for quite a while [they loved that their legs dangled, lol] leaving us to enjoy our meal while we put some toys, drawing tools, play-doh on their trays!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812028 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:21:18 +0000 Weagle 1812028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved it. We often just took it outside after meals to hose it off. Still use it without the tray pulled up to the table. LO was sitting independently by the time she started solids, so we didn't miss a recline option and never felt the need for padding. They do sell a separate pad though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812026 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:19:35 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1812026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister in law had it for my niece and I nannied for them so I used it a lot! I actually really liked it. SUPER easy to clean and get baby in and out. I really liked it. Definitely for an older baby though since there's no padding or incline option, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-antilop-highchair#post-1812014 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:12:32 +0000 spaniellove 1812014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it? Hate it? Was it practical or did you end up wanting something different? </p>
