Why does everyone love the IKEA high chairs?

[chris77777]

@heatherfeather I must be doing it wrong. My baby is >99th %ile in height and weight

 

[heatherfeather]

@chris77777 That's even better than my guy. Maybe you think you have it tight enough but it isn't? I remember thinking I was going to cut off my circulation and my husband was like "I can fit my fingers comfortably between his skin and the strap. Relax."

 

[chris77777]

@heatherfeather Hmm i just gave him lunch and tried. It sits on the top of his thighs, under his belly. And the straps are loosened with pressure/pulling.

@chris77777 If you trip on this, avoid the Phil and Ted’s Poppy. It’s got legs sticking out at crazy angles.

@crossclinger2014 I saw! What a footprint!!

@chris77777 My friend puts the plastic part in the dishwasher.

 

[chris77777]

@jessika544 It’s so hard to take off though! I will not be convinced

@chris77777 I am with you on that one. I don’t like it at all.

I am that one person who loves her Graco high chair.

@andujartyler Same! Love my graco!

 

[chris77777]

@andujartyler Yay one person agrees! Each to their own of course

@andujartyler I love our Graco chair! We haven't had any issues with cleaning that I keep hearing about.

@chris77777 People tend to recommend things that work personally for themselves. That doesn't always pan out if you have a different style, preference, expectation, need. I've def had friends insist I buy something, only to be disappointed that it doesn't work for my lifestyle (ugh, infant car seat travel system!). Or tell me I'd regret a purchase (nope, still using the Baby Bum Brush! Oh, and my LO def didn't grow out of the newborn outfits "in a week, tops!").

We've had our Ikea highchair for 4+ years - using it with baby #2 right now - and we love how easy it is to move around, clean and use! I don't know what else I've spent just $20 on that's being used 4 years and running. Sorry it didn't work out for you!
