He's huge and sometimes sits in the babies high chair and it's silly how big he is in it. He only sorta sits at the table for meals....

He prefers to sit at a barstool (with a back) at our kitchen counter. He only sits in his high chair if we are all eating together and it is something messy. youboots on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2715913 Fri, 24 Mar 2017 14:58:32 +0000 youboots 2715913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have the Tripp Trapp too and just removed the harness and tray at 24 months.

So we got her this and we all love it! Fisher-Price Healthy Care Booster Seat, Green/Blue <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CSAWIOQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QEx1ybY563EGJ" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CSAWIOQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QEx1ybY563EGJ</a> PawPrints on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2715827 Fri, 24 Mar 2017 12:24:56 +0000 PawPrints 2715827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She rejected the tray sometime after 18 months so we have just been scooting her up to the table since then. Every once in a while she refuses to get into the chair itself, so then we let her sit in a regular big people chair. She really isn't tall enough for that to work well but we insist that she sit in a real chair or high chair, so we don't slip into letting her run around while eating. If she got to make the rules, she would always eat sitting on DH's lap, but we've had to be firm about that.

She sits at a stool at the island (it has a back) or at her little table. She still sits in a high chair at restaurants though.

The mess is a lot less contained but DS enjoys sitting at the table. The straps are removable for when he doesn't need them anymore. snowjewelz on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2715753 Fri, 24 Mar 2017 10:11:27 +0000 snowjewelz 2715753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 27 months and still in a high chair. She's a messy eater so we like to keep the mess contained! But she will switch to booster when her baby sister is ready for the high chair.

It is so nice to be done with it! But my son really loves to eat so we don't have issues with him bolting from the table, even at restaurants. He's also really big for his age, so it's hard to get his shoes in and out of a standard restaurant high chair. bushelandapeck on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2715580 Fri, 24 Mar 2017 06:02:52 +0000 bushelandapeck 2715580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My daughter will be 2.5 in a couple of weeks and she's been refusing to sit in the booster seat we have for her so we finally put it away this week. She's good at sitting at the table which she eats though, unlike my son, who used the booster until probably 3?

We'll get another two for the twins in a couple of months.

I definitely miss her being contained for meals :sad: bhbee on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2715491 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 21:13:54 +0000 bhbee 2715491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think we dropped the tray and made it into the literal high chair around 2.5 for my now 5yo. But she was pretty calm at meal times and didn't really need it. My 2yo may have to stay in forever to contain him :silly: SweetiePie on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2715477 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 21:00:20 +0000 SweetiePie 2715477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 2.5. And he's still happy to use it 90% of the time. I'll hold on to it as long as possible because I know in most ways it's easier. But some days I wish it was gone. travellingbee on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2715443 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 20:26:18 +0000 travellingbee 2715443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @oliviaoblivia: yeah that doesn't seem weird at all. oliviaoblivia on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2715441 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 20:25:14 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2715441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @travellingbee: yeah. Just higher up and with a foot rest. C is 26 months and has been using hers as a higher chair for maybe ten months. A is 14 months and we took the baby set off a couple weeks ago. travellingbee on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2715436 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 20:22:49 +0000 travellingbee 2715436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @oliviaoblivia: then really it's just a chair, though right? This was a full high chair. oliviaoblivia on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2715429 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 20:20:57 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2715429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @travellingbee: my four year old still uses a high chair. We have Tripp Trapps so she's not using it with a tray or anything. catgirl on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2715426 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 20:19:13 +0000 catgirl 2715426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DD is a little over two and has never complained about her high chair. It helps keep her focused on food and seems to keep the mess a bit more contained. We plan on using it until it becomes a fight. LindsayLou on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2715413 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 20:08:58 +0000 LindsayLou 2715413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My kiddo is 19 months, and I'm guessing we'll switch to just a booster in the next 6 months. More and more, she wants to be a big kid and sit at the table instead of in her high chair. She doesn't fight it often yet, but I know it's coming. travellingbee on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2715392 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 19:49:36 +0000 travellingbee 2715392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ As a side note, we went to a play date at a friend's house and their 4 year old still used a high chair. That seemed really odd.

Most meals he has sitting in his Pikolino Lil Reader chair at the coffee table and DH and I sit cross-legged on the floor. DS eats better when we all eat together and he doesn't like his high chair or booster seat. travellingbee on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2715372 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 19:39:26 +0000 travellingbee 2715372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 2.5 ish I think Grace on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2715331 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 19:02:48 +0000 Grace 2715331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We had a booster from the start and she decided she didn't want it at 3.5. Boogs on "When did you stop using high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-high-chair#post-2713748 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 19:00:00 +0000 Boogs 2713748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My youngest is 2.5 and while he sometimes would love to not sit in his high chair, we won't stay still at the table during a meal. So, for now we are still using our high chair. How old was your LO when you stopped having them use the high chair?
