Best Highchair

mocka...

if i had the benefit of hindsight i would have gone for a vinyl wipe-clean one. I got one with a stupid detachable fabric seat cover which I now just don't use as I had to take it off and wash it after each meal (and it wasn't easy to get on and off)

ETA - the highchair in my ticker was from a restaurant and was great!

Love my mocka wooden, although i now dont bother with the fabric cushions, just another thing to wash. yea it does support quite a big weight once the are older and is nice you can flip the tray away and push them up to the table to get them used to eating at the table with big people.

I'll be going for the mocha for our next bubs. Although we are about to try the me too chair which is a great space saver and brings them right up to the table. Plus you can take it anywhere which I think is great.

heres the link - Me Too Chair

Susiec - that looks like the one we have, its a Childcare one. About $80-90 from Baby Factory and its fantastic.

We have the Mocka plastic and it's wonderful. It's a shame we don't have Ikea here as they make one almost identical for a fraction of the price (not that the Mocka one is very expensive!).

I apologioze for bumping....just my 2c.

For high chairs, there's a brand that's very common in europe at least, I don't know about the rest of the world...it's called STOKKE and their high-chairs are called Tripp Trapp. They are meant to "grow" with the child, so you can easily modify the height of both the seat and the footrest, and they are meant to also support adults (they claim it easily supports up to 85kg/187 pounds). We still have one from when I was a baby and it is quite comfy. Only thing is, they don't have a table attached, since they're meant for children who want to sit at the table with their parents.

This specific one is kind of expensive, but there are lots of similar ones that are cheaper. Go for one made of wood rather than plastic, that's much less likely to collapse on you. I'll include a link to the official website of the chair I have, but that's just to illustrate what I mean :) Also, if you dig a little, you could surely find a second-hand-one.

I'm heavier than you, but I'm about the same height, so if I fit into that chair, you should definitely fit as well. And like I said, they're meant to easily hold an adult, so the center of gravity is also not a problem.

I also have the Svan of Sweden https://www.evababygear.com/best-high-chairs/ and am very happy with it. My son who is now 2.5 years old still loves it. It comes with a tray (you can buy a plastic cover for the tray as an extra). The chair can be modified so that it can be used as a normal chair as well when your bub is big enough. I would recommend it - although I agree that IKEA's cheap and cheerful ones are very good too! It depends if you are bothered about the look of the chair or not really.
