Has anyone bought a wooden high chair off trade me? I am looking at mocka and the little kiwi ones - just wondering of any good feedback from people who have bought online or have something similar.. Do you recommend the lift up tray or slide one? My son is only little so this will be his first chair.
Cheers.  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| We've got the wooden Mocka for DD and find its great. I went with it because the height is so adjustable so it will last her for a long time. |

Go the Mocka one, totally recommend. DD is able to sit up straight in it without slumping down like she does in every other plastic fantastic ones. -------------

^ really? Olivia slumps too but I just thought it was because she is not strong enough yet to sit in one properly. I haven't bought a high chair yet, I just feed her in her rocker, I find it much easier (have highchairs at both sets of nana's). I have an old school wooden highchair which I was going to use for her but there is not padding or straps to keep her from slipping so am hesitant! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Yup every single plastic one I have put DD in she slumps down like she is being a lazy child, but put her in the Mocka and she doesnt do it! I have the padding on mine, but it gets dirty easily so its only on half the time. I have only just now put some straps on it as DD has started to climb out the top, before then it wasnt an issue as there is a strap between the legs to keep them in. -------------

We have a wooden one off trademe.
The one with the lift over tray. It works well, easy to clean, she sits up straight in it when her nappy isn't too big (lol) I find the same in the plastic highchairs if we go out, they are all leaned back and she just starts slipping down down down. She has recently figured out how to climb out (and fall down) so we have taken the tray and the bar around her middle out, and she just sits on it like a normal chair, she can climb up and down. We did that at just under a year. ------------- Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

We also have the Mocka wooden high chair and love it. We tried DD in several before buying that one, and it was the only one she looked comfortable in. We like the idea that we can move the seat and footrest as she grows, then take the table and strap off and have her sitting up the table with us. We bought off the mocka website as there were none on TM locally. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

We have a Mocka and DS loves it. Its so easy to get him in and out of, we haven't had to use the straps yet, but I guess that may come when he starts trying to get out. Great service from Mocka too! ------------- Up the Duff with #2. DS turns 3 in July. http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/293b14" rel="nofollow - My Ovulation Chart |
