We haven't started solids yet so he just sits in it and plays with toys, but he loves it! I also don't like the idea of sitting on the floor to feed him. chopsuey on "When do you need the high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-need-the-high-chair#post-329750 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 09:01:15 +0000 chopsuey 329750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We started using ours at around 5 months winniebee on "When do you need the high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-need-the-high-chair#post-329746 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 08:59:43 +0000 winniebee 329746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We sit T in the bumbo or bouncy seat when we feed him solids - he'll be 5 mos. next week and I will probably set up the high chair when he's 6 months. I can't deal with more clutter at the moment! babynumber1 on "When do you need the high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-need-the-high-chair#post-329703 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 08:36:42 +0000 babynumber1 329703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO is 4.5 months old and we have been using the high chair for a few weeks. She sits in it really well and hangs out in it while I cook dinner, wash bottles, etc. We also started cereal last week,so she sits in it for meal times. lavender on "When do you need the high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-need-the-high-chair#post-329697 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 08:34:02 +0000 lavender 329697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We feed M puree and cereal in her bumbo and haven't had any issues yet. pinkcupcake on "When do you need the high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-need-the-high-chair#post-326416 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 23:38:27 +0000 pinkcupcake 326416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We didn't buy her high chair until she was like 5.5 months, I think? until then, we just used the bouncer.

If you start solids early, you can use a bumbo or bouncy seat before that.

I'm considering getting a highchair soon though, I'm tired of sitting on the floor! DS is 6 months old.

We didn't really use ours until he was eating solids 3 times a day. mediagirl on "When do you need the high chair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-need-the-high-chair#post-322273 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 11:51:08 +0000 mediagirl 322273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ M will be 4 months next week (!!!!!) and if my pediatrician suggests it, we may start some purees for fun. We don't have a high chair yet. Has anyone else started just trying early solids with their lo sitting in the bouncy seat or bumbo? When will we need the high chair?
