We used a very similar one when we were in Aussie and it was fine.
Benjy was quite happy in there and it was very easy to clean up. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

I am sure those are the kind they have at Bang Bang in Ponsonby aren't they? I have used the ones at Bang Bang and found them to be great, especially when the tray comes off they sit really well up to a normal dining room table! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

My friend's 9mo used one when we were out for brunch and we all thought it was good - very easy to clean (essential if you're doing BLW  ).-------------

I was looking at a website about baby led weaning and this highchair is really similar to the IKEA one everyone over in the states loves... cos yeah it's so easy to clean up.
I do love our fancy dancy highchair cos it goes up and down and has a little basket underneath and the cover can come off, but I must admit it is a pain when the food gets in the little creases. ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

my parents have the wooden highchair from mocka and they hate it, you can't take the tray off so it is very difficult to get bubs in and out of it, the tray needs to either be able to come off or slide forward.
A lot of my friends have the white plastic mocka chair, it is exactly the same as the ikea chair and they all love it thats what we are going to get! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We have Haba highchair and it is absolutely great as it can grow with your child and you can take all parts easily for cleaning.

I just bought one about 2 weeks from the same trader, delivered in 1 day! Havent used it yet, but its very easy to take apart to clean, no little fiddly corners for food or crumbs to get stuck in. Packs down quite small - so you could take it away overnight with you.
My friend recommended it, she loves hers and she's a very picky clean freak, they are exactly the same as the Ikea Antilop highchair which costs only $30aus, but Ikea dont deliver here. |

Oh I wish I'd read this thread before buying the wooden mocka chair. Ours was delivered this week and DS sits really well in it but it's not that easy to get him in and out of as the tray doesn't slide.
However, I do like the fact that it will take him all the way thru toddler years as you can take the tray off completely and the seat height is adjustable. Not much good for him as a 5 mth old who likes to play the "i'm not going to bend my legs" game. |

We got ours this week to and agree that it would be much nicer if the tray was removable. Livvy's not too bad getting in and out of it but for the cleanup, I find it easier to remove the tray so she dosn't keep putting her hands in the muck as I'm trying to clean her. The sellers said that the kids get easier to put in when they learn what to do with their legs but then it's just a case of will they comply -------------

| We have a little kiwi highchair which is very similar to the mocha and we love it. It is easy to clean wiht no creases for food to get stuck, It is a good hight so we can feed our son comfortably from the couch. The tray does not come off but we soon figured out how to quickly get a wriggly baby in and out of it. Now that he is older he happily slides in and out. |

We got a little kiwi one this week and the tray does come off, easy to get our wee bub in and out of. Also comes with a safety rail to use for when hes older without tray...which doesnt come off but im guessing by then he will be easier to get in and our of.....DH said the seat will be lower by then too. I liked it for the reason it will make a good chair for him when older and can sit at the table on it!!

The Mocka is a great highchair and they come with the cushions. I would get the optional harness as most kids I know start to climb at about a year. -------------

Haha everyone likes different things. I LOVE our wooden one. I certainly have no trouble getting her in and out. Maybe they need to adjust the seat backward a bit or something. A friend has the designer chair. She loves it but said the legs stick out a really long way so she trips over it all the time. ------------- Adoring Mum to Talisin 8/9/11 and Kiara 18/01/10 |
