Comfy Cosatto Catering

Advantages: Padded seat and reclines help make my daughter feel comfortable
Disadvantages: Can get sweaty and the middle recline is a little tricky to get secure

...Our daughter was coming up to 5 months old and I had succeeded in putting off her weaning as long as was possible and decided that it was time to start looking for a high chair. I asked many of my friends with children that had reached weaning age for advice and checked on Ciao and the Cosatto Aurora was one of the many suggestions I received and researched. Searching the web for a good deal I found one at Kiddicare and it was on special offer - reduced to £60 - and before you could say wham bam thank you man - it was bought. It arrived a couple of days later and I started to put it together. In general constructing the high chair wasn't too bad although I did get a little confused with the instructions on a couple of points. Anyone who isn;t use to 'flat-packing' may get a little frustrated. When I finally managed it (about...

Review of Cosatto Aurora Plus High Chair

Cosatto highchair

Advantages: Nice design, tray is moveable to different distances from the child
Disadvantages: strapping in device not very good, difficult to fold down unless you get the hang of it

...I bought a Cosatto highchir from Marks and Spencers new baby range, I am quite please with it and like the option on the distance between baby and the tray and I like the design on it. I thought it was quite expensive for what it is and I think the straps on it to strap your child in is rather complicated aswell. I find this product very difficult to fold down, it does fold quite flat but I still find it to be rather chunky when folded down. This highchair is fully wipeable and is very easy to clean mess off, it is very stable aswell for children of all ages, my daughter has only just gone in it but my nephew is 2 and he still goes in, if he stands up it doesn't tipple over like some do. I think if I had looked around more I would still have purchased this chair as I didn't want to spend alot on a highchair....

Review of Cosatto High Chair

Ikea Antilop - the best high chair on the market

Advantages: Cheap, easy to clean, good posture for baby
Disadvantages: None except you have to go to Ikea to get it

...Initally, we wanted to get the cheapest high chair we could find, and opted for a foldable high chair on clearance in John Lewis for £22. Our little boy slipped around it, and it was a nightmare to put him in and take him out of, and even more of a nightmare to clean. However, being novice parents we didn't know things could be any different. Then we went on a short holiday to Antwerp (an excellent holiday destination if ever we had one, perhaps I will write a review of Antwerp in another review). While on holiday there, all the restaurants we ate in had the same high chair. This, we discovered, was the Ikea Antilop. Not long after, we returned to England, and soon became increasingly unhappy with our Cosatto travel high chair, and so a trip to Ikea beckoned. Having checked on the internet that it was in stock, and being...

Review of Ikea ANTILOP High Chair

High praise for this high chair

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Quite bulky to take in car

...We bought this high chair as it is very good quality and extremely sturdy. A lot of the parenting magazines have given it very positive reviews and it has won several rewards. The seat has four different positions, perfect as your child develops and also useful should your child get tired or sleepy whilst you are in the middle of a meal. We have also found that it is really useful being able to tip the chair back when youre giving your child medicine- it means its more likely to go down their throat than all over you! It has a lovely padded cover (with a choice of designs)and a moulded seat, adding great comfort. The seat also wipes clean very well. The padded section is also removeable, allowing you to clean underneath where stray food always gathers on any high chair. Th adjustable straps keep your child secure and stop them...

Review of Mamas & Papas Prima Pappa High Chair

Fisher Price High Chair is disappointing

Advantages: Bright and colourful
Disadvantages: Sharp plastic sticking down under the tray

...Our house consists alot of Fisher Price accessories, from bouncy chairs to stacking cups. We trust and love their range especially the precious planets and rainforest. When we had to buy a high chair we decided to keep with the theme and go for the Precious Planets high chair. Our baby was 4 months when we got it, because the high chair is meant to be from birth and we wanted to start a correct eating habit early. When we got it home, it was a different story all together. It took nearly 2 hours to construct. I know that we are sleep deprived but we can follow instructions. We found the reclining seat a bit flimsy. You had to jiggle the seat to get it to catch properly. But the main problem came when we had to fit our baby in it. When we sat him in it, he was excited naturally but when we put the tray on he banged his legs...

Super Duper High Chair

Advantages: Easy to clean and transport, durable and cheap
Disadvantages: None

...I bought the Antilop High Chair and also the tray that goes with it for my son when he was about 7 months and have been using it ever since (he is now a year and a half). Description The seat part is white and made from Polypropylene plastic and there are four legs that clip in which are hollow and made from Pigmented epoxy/polyester powder coating. The chair has a rounded back and a t-bar at the front to stop baby from slipping out. The legs each have a small fully attached pin that can be pushed in to dismantle the chair, there are little plastic stoppers on the bottom of each leg to stop any slippage or marks getting made on your floor. There is also a safety belt included which just clips round the waist of your child. You can also buy the matching white polypropylene plastic tray which easily clips onto the seat...

Review of Ikea ANTILOP High Chair

More than just another high chair

Advantages: Grows with your child
Disadvantages: No tray

...A Stokke Tripp Trapp chair is a well designed piece of furniture that will last long after your child has grown up and left home. I bought mine when my baby was 6 months old complete with the baby kit for around £125.00. It was simple to assemble and feels very sturdy and stable. Alex was comfortable in it from to word go, and it blends in well with the rest of our furniture. It is available in a large range of wood finishes to blend in with any decor. The high chair is designed without a tray so that you child gets used to eating at the table with the rest of the family from an early age. I was very wary of this at first and almost didn't purchase it for that reason but I must say that I have not missed the tray one little bit. As your child grows, the baby kit can be removed turning it into an ordinary chair which you can...

East Coast High (chair) Living!

Advantages: Easy to Clean, stylish, will grow with your child
Disadvantages: Does not fold away, Tray not easily removed

...If you are looking for a good quality high chair that will not look out of place in your home and will grow with your child then I would suggest that you investigate the East Coast Multi functional Highchair. When choosing my high chair I considered 4 things 1. What will I be using the chair for e.g. Feeds only, playtime, 2. Storage space e.g. Will it be in the way if kept upright? Does it fold away? 3. Can my baby sit comfortably in it? Would padding help, or is a chair with reclining function a better option? 4. Would I like to continue to use the chair after the initial weaning period? For me the East Coast Multi functional Highchair fitted the bill perfectly. The design is very simple and stylish and as our kitchen chairs are wooden it doesn't look out of place in our home. The chair is made from good quality wood so is...

Review of East Coast Multi Function High Chair

Auroraing success

Advantages: Comfy for baby. Wide easy to clean tray.
Disadvantages: Assembly instructions poor. Difficult to adjust height.

...Whilst I was pregnant I couldn't imagine the time when I would need a high chair, but the time came astoundingly quickly. My little lad was only 4 1/2 months when he decided that milk was only any good if it was constantly available, and so, despite my best intentions to keep him on milk until 6 months, I tried a little solid food and was rewarded by a generally happier and more satisfied baby. I started feeding him in his bouncer, but soon realised that it was just impractical, with me uncomfortable on the floor and the bouncer a complete mess to clear up afterwards - it was time to purchase a proper highchair. I mistakenly set off on the misconception that all highchairs were pretty much the same, but it didn't take long before I realise certain features were essential. I required a reclining seat as my baby cannot sit confidently...

Review of Cosatto Aurora Plus High Chair

Has everything you need in a high chair

Advantages: Inexpensive, Easy to clean, Light, Functional
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...I absolutely love this high chair. It was literally a snap to put together. I looked on-line for reviews of other, more expensive high chairs and it seemed to me that they were awfully expensive, and that the high chairs were styled and named more for the parents than for the children. I decided to save my money and opt for the functional and practical high chair that IKEA offered. I am so glad I did. It is easy to clean, it works well at the table as a toddler chair and my daughter hasn't complained yet that she didn't get the most expensive one. I have taken the $ I would have spent on a more expensive chair and have put it into her savings instead. I just couldn't justify spending an extra $100 for a plain high chair. I also thought that if this high chair is used on a daily basis in the IKEA restaurant by hundreds of children...
