LO is approaching 4 months and we are starting to think about these purchases. I wish I'd added them to my registry, but that seemed like a distant need at the time! We live in a small apartment, so space saving is ideal. Thanks for any suggestions

Ikea Antilop high chair!

We have this high chair and absolutely love it!! It also reclines back so you could put your LO in it now
We do that, she't not eating yet, but sits in it while we eat!

Not an exersaucer, but I think it's better. It has the highest height limit so that was a huge factor for us as M is already 27 inches at 5 months.

We have the Fisher-Price Space Saver High Chair - it just goes on a normal dining chair.

And our Exersaucer is an Evenflo one, but it was passed down to us, so I'm not sure which one it is or how much it costs.

I agree with getting a jumperoo instead of an exersaucer, especially if you're tight on space. the FP jumperoo was awesome for months 5-8.
We have the chicco 360 hook on chair and it's fine--does the job. We also have the keekaroo and I really like it.
-
I love our fisherprice deluxe booster seat high chair. it is super easy to clean, easy to store and easy to travel with.
-
Oxo tot sprout high chair (looks great, easy as pie to keep clean).
Baby Einstein jumparoo.
-
I also suggest a jumperoo over an exersaucer. We were handed-down an exersaucer, but DD ended up loving the jumperoo and we got one. Use that waaay more than the exersaucer.
-
Ikea antilop - can't beat the price, it's light weight & easy to clean. We were gifted a baby einstein jumparoo. DD had fun with it - it was a convenient to put her so she didn't get into things...But really the life span was pretty short (3 months max) and then she was over it and it was taking up tons of space.
-
Another vote for Oxo Tot Sprout high chair. I love it.

Another vote for the Ikea antilop chair!

@maybebaby: we have this cheapie http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007IUYMUE/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?qid=1380060668&sr=8-8&pi=AC_SX110_SY165 and it works well. We also have a jumperoo but I like the exersaucer because I can move it from room to room.
We have the modtot by even flo and its ok. I sort of wish we had bought the fisher price space saver.

I
the Tripp Trapp! And Baby Einstein exersaucer.
-
We have the Oxo Tot Sprout high chair as well but haven't used it yet.
We have this jumperoo but also haven't used it yet - http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=17197626

Baby Einstein exersaucer, she is obsessed with it.
Oxo tot sprout high chair. It is an investment but I love it. You can but replacement cushions if you need too for #2
-
we also live in an apartment so i hear you on the space premium!
for a high chair, we have the fisher price healthy care booster seat:
http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Healthy-Deluxe-Booster-Green/dp/B0000DEW8Nlove that we can strap it onto one of our existing dining/kitchen chairs, instead of hauling in a new freestanding high chair and then having to find a place for the ousted kitchen/dining chair. i know it's not the cutest option out there, but definitely very space-saving.
as for exersaucer, we decided to forego. i saw a few in a store and knew that they would take up way too much space. we are just dealing with it. i think if we have a second baby it might be nice because we can't "switch off" watching LO, but until then we've refrained and i haven't regretted it. if you do get one, i hear that getting one used is best because they have a short usage period and are pricey if purchased new.
-
Another vote for the Ikea Antilop! Cheap and you can hose the whole thing down when your LO inevitably smears their entire meal all over it.
-
Another vote for Oxo Tot Sprout high chair!
-
we loveeeeeeee our ikea antilop!! it is a lifesaver.
-
Tripp Trapp and FP jungle jumperoo worked well for us. The jumperoo breaks down to smaller parts than the exersaucer.
The Tripp trapp lasts forever and doesn't look like a plastic factory lives in your dining room. -
Ikea high chair!
-
I'm with @luckypenny We debated about a high chair and on a trip to ikea I just bought the $25 one. Let me tell you, there's no padding, so it's a breeze to clean. The legs can detach, which made it awesome for travel on holidays to other peoples houses. It has a tray, or it's the correct height to pull right up to the table. Our guy is 16 months now and loves sitting with us at the table, instead of off to the side. Probably the best baby purchase I made, truly.
-
We have the Eddie Bauer high chair because I thought it would look better in our kitchen but it doesn't fold up and the back is straight up. No curve to the back so when LO was around 5-7 months it was hard for him to sit in. So look at that when buying one. We have the Neptune Baby Enistein saucer and he loves it.
-
We lve our fisher price booster seat. It fits onto a regular chair so you don't have a big bulky high chair taking up space.

We have the FP booster seat as well and have used it from. 6 to 22 months so far! So convenient and compact!
We got a jumperoo at a thrift store for $30 used it a ton for a few months and then resold it. The fabric cover comes off to wash so it is something I felt comfortable getting used and then reusing. I think it was a FP zoo themed one and it was great!
-
We love our ikea antipope. Cheap, doesn't take much space, easy to clean. I also like that it comes apart easy if we want to take it somewhere.
-
Bumping this because these are the two items I'm going to tell people LO wants for Christmas. She will be almost 5 months old at the time so I figured they are good things to request.
We don't have an actual kitchen table, just stools at the island counter /breakfast bar. Like @maybebaby: space is at a premium in our little apartment, so it sounds like the jumparoo is better in terms of breaking down into smaller pieces for storage?
With the ikea antilope chair, can babies use it at 5 months? I thought something with a higher back would be more useful early on, but I guess she can't eat solids until she has great head control anyway?
-
We have the FP Space Saver and LOVE it. It straps right to one of our dining table chairs. You can't beat it for small spaces!
-
I recently bought the Ikea Antilop and it's kind of tricky for my 5 month old to sit in it because she's small and needs a fair amount of support to sit up. It's not the low back that is the problem because her head control is good, but more that the back is so straight. I've used a rolled up blanket to get her positioned more comfortably and that seems OK. We're not feeding solids yet, and I think once she's sitting a little better it will be perfect.
We also just started using the baby einstein jumper with her and she loves it. Again, she's small so we pile some blankets underneath so her feet reach but it is like her favorite thing right now. She hasn't figured out the jumping yet but she likes all the activities on the tray.
-
We have the Oxo Sprout for us, but the Fisher Price Space Saver for my parents house and I would pick that over the Oxo Sprout. Unfortunately, we have bar stool chairs and couldn't get it for us.
We also went the jumperoo over exersaucer route.
-
@maybebaby: whatever jumperoo/exercaucer you decide on, I would totally suggest buying used/craigslist. DS was cruising by 8 months and walking before he was 1. The money spent on these things for space we don't have was such a big regret. Oh well, haha
-
We just bought a Stokke Tripp Trapp chair today! I have been in love with the design for a long time and I really try to buy products that grow with my child. FWIW, he's almost 3. We had a clip on high chair before that he outgrew awhile back and we just got around to getting a real high chair. We plan on using it with baby 2, or buying her one when the time comes.
If you don't want to spend a lot, the Ikea one is great.
the Tripp Trapp! And Baby Einstein exersaucer.
