Which ones are the best?
I've been recommended Mocka, how do Skep and Picopico brand compare?

I am not sure about the other brands but we have TripTrapp chairs. Amy is just using hers as a chair but Sophie (Miss Wigglebum) still has the bar on to keep her at the table 
The thing that I really like about them is that an adult can sit on them with out breaking them. They are more expensive but they last for a very long time.

We have the Mocka Wooden one, while I love it because it a. has a 60kg weight limit, b. grows with the child - fully adjustable, c. easy to assemble (even I could do it lol!), d. looks so nice! I hate that it's wood, it just seems that food cakes into it the moment it 'hits' it... So I have to constantly wipe the tray while she's eating otherwise I have to scrape it clean when she's done and she can take a while to eat sometimes! I sometimes wish I'd got a plastic on tbh but I do love this one quite a lot!

I also love my Mocka for all the reason's Lil_Nic said. I particularly like how solid it feels and that when baby gets older you can flip the tray over and push it right up to the table to keep using as a chair. The fact that it's adjustable is brilliant because we do BLW and it's really important that DD can reach the food properly. I haven't found it any harder to clean than a plastic chair - the food just sticks to different places.
BUT with regards to the different ones that pretty much look the same...I got the Mocka because at the time they had a sale, and I had a further discount code so it was heaps cheaper and I have no regrets. Actually my MIL wants to get a chair for her place too and I told her to get the Mocka one.

I too have a Mocka and love it! DD can sit upright properly, and not slump down as she does in some of those plastic ones. I got it cause I like the fact that wood lasts longer than plastic and it can be adjusted to fit her as she grows, then made into her own seat.

I like our Mocka wooden highchair for the above reasons, but also hate how they food cakes in all sorts of annoying places, and we also have to wipe it all the time during meal also. The tray doesnt move in towards the child, so we have had a lot of problems with DS climbing out, and so we just bought the harness for it this week, which is working well. We didnt inintailly buy the straps cos DD had a normal plastic highchair that the tray can move in close to the child, and we never needed the straps.

I love most that DS can sit upright- almost all the plastic ones I ever tried to see a baby/toddler in they slide forward and u have to keep sitting them upright again.

We have 2 mockas, and they work well for both the kids (3.5 and 1.5 years) and I will get a third when this baby needs one, I like them for all the reasons above and they work well at the table. Both can get up on them with no problems.

we love our wooden Mocka. I especially like that it doesn't take up a lot of room - it's low enough to fit under the table top but also compact enough that I can put it to the side against a wall and it's not in the way. DD uses it as a chair now so I think we will get another one for #2 at the end of the year.
If you have a Magicbeans card you can get 10% off (even when it's on sale) and I think they sometimes sell sales on trademe too. Sign up for their newsletter because they have sales and discounts all the time
