ikea high chair pad
Ikea Antilop High Chair Review The Antilop High Chair from IKEA fit both of my high chair requirements: inexpensive and all plastic. Through work and family, I’ve seen kids in most of the “big brand” high chairs: Eddie Bauer, Graco, and Fisher-Price. And while those high chairs are generally visually pleasing, have comfortably soft seats, and have layers of removable trays, they all had one thing in common: crevices. Had I been a first-time mama who had never had to clean out a high chair, I would have bought any of the popular models and been none the wiser. But as a former nanny, I have taken my last Clorox wipe to faux leather seats and will never again scrub dried-on carrot off of decorative wooden joists. The Antilop high chair was very simple to assemble. The four metal legs are easily removable for storage and transportation, and have plastic feet to protect the floor. The tray, once snapped in to place, is not easily removed. The chair has a 3-point harness and wide leg holes that will fit even the chubbiest of thighs.
The Antilop high chair is a very simple high chair and is available in two colors: white and navy. The price was what really sold me, though: $24.99 for the high chair and $5.00 for the tray!just attach the legs and you are good to go! No crevices for food to hide in. The seat is one solid piece of molded plastic. The plastic is easily washable with a mild cleaner or a damp rag. The tray has raised edges to prevent spills from leaking on to the floor. The straps are removable for cleaning. This is a very compact highchair, so it is perfect if you do not have a large eating room. At 36” tall (same as the average dining room table), the Antilop is designed to be pulled up to the table if you do not wish to purchase the tray. The tray is difficult to remove. 3-point safety harness (I personally would have preferred a 5-point). The tray is sold separately and is not available for purchase online, unlike the chair itself. There isn’t a foot rest.

As for what you’re looking for in this fairly pricey investment? Five things: Easy to clean seat. Easy to clean tray. High enough so you don’t kill your back. And stable enough so dinnertime doesn’t become hospital time. Here are a few of the best seats for every decor and budget. strong: Baby Gear Lab called the Seeding “one of our easiest chairs to set up right out of the box, just under 6 minutes, and earning itself a 7 out of 10 in ease of setup.” It will also accommodate kids from 4 months up to 3 years (or 45 pounds). And The Nightlight gave it their top pick, saying that it “wowed” them in every category but “removable, cleanable straps;
a flat tray bottom; parts made of environmentally friendly materials; replacement parts that are easy to get,” set it apart from from the competition. Cons: If you have a small kitchen, this may not be your solution. BGL says, “The Seedling struggled in our footprint and portability rating metric, earning only a 3 out of 10 when compared to the other chairs. It’s footprint was a whopping 726 square inches, whereas the Stokke Tripp Trapp only took up 396 square inches of space.” Height: Adjustable to 41.3 inches Max load: 45 lbs strong: The Norwegian know how to design some furniture, even if it’s destined to get covered with strained peas. Baby Gear Lab touts the Tripp Trapp’s longevity, saying “It grows with your child with its easy adjustments and can hold up to 300 pounds.” (Of course, your adult son may not want to climb into his old high chair.) Cool Mom Picks says, “The tray covers a large area and has a deep rim to catch spills, but the best part are the 6 tray-top templates it comes with so you can swap letters for numbers for animals.”
Cons: Even cool designs can still topple over. “There is indeed a tipping possibility if the chair is on certain surfaces and if they can reach a certain part of the table,” says one Amazon reviewer. “So please, please make sure you do not fall into this category before buying this chair.” You’re also going to want to invest in the separate baby set for little ones. Sign Up For Our Newsletter Max load: 300 lbs Safety harness: 5-point with separate baby set Stokke Tripp Trapp ($250) Pros: Consumer Reports gave BabyBjörn good ratings, although they found it a little tricky saying “this very small, lightweight chair will surprise you. Takes up remarkably little floor space, and folds up even smaller. There’s a steep learning curve with this chair, but once you get used to it, it’s easy to use.” And Baby Gear Lab thought that this chair was built from alien infant technology, saying, “When it comes to ease of cleaning, this chair blew away the competition, earning a perfect 10 out of 10.
It literally has no crevices for food to get caught in, no big base for food to land on, no cushions to stain, and no inserts to lift up or remove and machine wash.” Cons: “Some features are tricky — almost counterintuitive — to use,” says Consumer Reports who have doubts about the adjustable tray’s lack of movement and difficulty figuring out the folding feature. Other owners complained that it didn’t fit their toddlers, but CR said, “Although it looked snug, we were able to seat a mannequin representing a 3-year-old child (30 lbs, 38 inches tall). Max load: Up to 3 years old Safety harness: Tray functions as restraint BabyBjörn High Chair ($300) Phil & Teds Poppy strong: Its design doesn’t scream I live with a tiny thing that screams. Beyond the aesthetics, this high chair is dead simple to set up. Cool Mom Picks says, “There’s almost no assembly required, which means you just pop in the legs, pop in the baby and you’re pretty much ready to go.”
They’re also big on the lack of seams, so “no wayward bits of organic avocado or quinoa can find their way to where they shouldn’t be.” And Baby Gizmo talks about how the Poppy can grow with your kid, saying “The Poppy transforms into a “My Chair” for 3 to 5 years old (44 lbs) by removing the tray, crotch bar and half of the legs. A high chair that works as a sturdy toddler chair is thumbs up in our book!” Cons: An Amazon reviewer points out that because the tray isn’t adjustable, a few things may happen, “Food and utensils WILL drop into their laps and beyond. At some point a knee will pop up as they sit in power poses to show you who is boss. And, “You cannot shove them back against the chair and pin them securely in place (if you wanted to).” Max load: 44 lbs Phil & Teds Poppy ($120) strong: For the price of a large pizza, this fully-functional high chair can be yours. And, unlike a lot of IKEAs modular torture puzzles, putting it together just means attaching the legs (Allen wrench included).
One owner on Baby Center says, “The separate tray and chair pads are very inexpensive. Also the perfect chair for grandma’s house at that price!” And an Amazon reviewer says “Sometimes I just lift the chair up and pour all the Cheerios right into the sink.” Pro tip: Take the baby out first.That blasted tray is awful! It snaps on so easily but is nearly impossible to remove,” says the formerly happy Baby Center customer. Other reviewers echo that sentiment, saying that the price is right, the design is cool, but that unadjustable tray is a dealbreaker. Max load: not available Pros: Brand new to the market, the 4moms chair will appeal to those who still wonder how magnets work — because that’s how you attach the tray. One Amazon reviewer noted, “I struggled with our old chair getting the tray on and off with one hand while holding my daughter. This one is VERY easy but still secure so baby won’t break free when in chair.” Other than using physics to secure your kid, it’s also easy to clean and has adjustable height.
Cons: Some early complaints that the magnet isn’t as strong as it could be and the seat is difficult to adjust. But that’s the price you pay for being a high chair innovator. 4moms High Chair ($300) Pros: It doesn’t have a seamless body, but the seat cover does pop out for cleaning. One Amazon reviewer says, “One of my favorite features of this high chair is its compact footprint when folded up.” Best of all for parents with infants, the seat can recline for bottle feeding. Or just cold chillin’. Cons: When it’s not folded up, the Contempo will engulf your kitchen. According to an Amazon customer, “The footprint is enormous. This high chair takes up 6 square feet of floor space (its legs are 2′ wide by 3′ long). This makes it impractical for a small kitchen.” And goes on to complain, “The tray is supposed to be easy to clean, with a top layer that pops off. However, because that top layer doesn’t fully cover the bottom layer (especially at the corners, where babies tend to put their hands), I always end up having to clean the bottom layer too.
