Pros for High Chairs: Eye Contact with child (this was a big one with me) Huge tray to serve food on (that can go in the dishwasher) You can fold most of them up if you need the space back. Reclines for younger babies Cons for High Chairs:
Most people don’t actually fold high chairs up Can’t take out of the house (too big) Hard to clean (food ALWAYS gets in crevices and fall on the floor) Most kids grow out of a high chair when they’re between 18 months to 2 1/2 years — unless you have something that will grow with your child, like Stokke’s Tripp Trapp. Expensive (most likely over $100, upwards to over $300 – yikes!) Even with the tray off, it may not but your table well (and food may get on the floor). Pros for Feeding Booster Seats Easy to clean – you can take it off and clean under the seat You can take it with you (to grandma’s house.. You can take the tray off (if it comes with one) and place your child at the table. Price is more reasonable — around $30 – $60 A child can start off in the feeding booster seat with a tray and then go to the table as they get older. You can lower the booster seat and use it until your child outgrows any kind of booster seat.
Cons for Feeding Booster Seats May not recline, and therefore not suitable from birth to 6 months of age. Some kids still may not be able to sit up easily in a non-reclining booster seat until 8 or 9 months. Seat may be too low, hard to have eye contact with baby. May not be as “stylish” as a high chair Personally, I prefer a high chair, but end up going to a feeding booster seat when my kids get to around 18 months to 2 years old. Skylar is still in a high chair at 19 months and it suits him just fine. But I will be eventually moving him into his sister’s feeding booster seat (which was her big brother’s). We’ve used hand me down high chairs and booster seats, as long as it’s not recalled, you can use them safely!

There has been some confusion around the safety of the Ikea Antilop highchair, but we can confirm the child seat has NOT been recalled recently. On Wednesday the 3rd of June an article issuing a safety warning against the budget highchair was published, leading many, (including us) to think there was a new fault with the harness. But it turns out it was on old article from 2012 - when the Antilop was originally recalled - which was mistakenly republished on the Ikea site #ooops. Today (Thursday June 4th) MadeForMums spoke to an Ikea representative, who assured us that the Antilop chairs are completely safe and yesterday's article was, in fact, old news.
Still, if you'd like to know more about the old 2012 recall, we have the full story below: Ikea is urging parents who have bought its the £13 Antilop highchair to contact its customer services because its safety belts have been found to be faulty. The Swedish furniture giant has issued the safety alert after receiving eight complaints of the belt opening by itself, including three reports of children falling out of the chair and hurting themselves. Ikea is recalling 1.2 million Antilop highchairs around the world, including 60, 438 from British families. “The highchair belt can open unexpectedly in use, creating a fall hazard,” said the company in a statement. “No other highchairs are affected. Ikea apologises for any inconvenience this may cause. Safety is always a top priority at IKEA,” the spokeman added. Customers who have an Antilop highchair from supplier #17389 and production date 0607-0911 (the numbers are found on the underside of the seat) may be affected and should contact Ikea’s customer services immediately on 020 3645 0000.
Those with affected chairs will receive a replacement belt, free of charge in store.

However, it’s near impossible to name a single direct peer to the Swedish giant. We’re here to offer some alternative stores like IKEA for great designs at accessible prices. Obviously, we’re going to list 10 online stores other than ourselves (although, if you’re here, we hope you’ve checked us out). We’re also opting for stores where you can find products priced below the ranges of West Elm, Room & Board, and the likes. This massive online retailer is part of Wayfair. They consolidate a large assortment of modern products across all price ranges.
Amazing customer service to boot. Although it may take some time to browse through their massive catalog, there are good deals here. Overstock sells more than furniture and decor, but they have a surprisingly strong selection of modern styles at great discounts if you dig deep enough. Most products on Fab are high-end designer items, but look for the newer products that are made by Fab. They’re always available (despite what the countdown timer may seem to suggest) and are very inexpensive for their look and quality.Since you’re buying direct from small business owners/makers, the prices can be fantastic and the aesthetics truly unique. However, sifting through all the products to find the one you love can take time. As its name suggests, Scandinavian Designs has extremely similar style as IKEA. Though the prices are higher, the quality and aesthetics are also very nice. The younger, hipper, cheaper sister store of Crate & Barrel, CB2 carries a variety of modern, minimalist, and industrial furniture pieces.
Be prepared to pay a premium, but there are a lot of great craftsmanship and design. Dwell, our favorite magazine covering all things modern architecture and design, have a little known store that offer fantastic high-end designs at surprisingly accessible prices. Though they aren’t as economical as IKEA, you can find many items near the CB2 range with a tremendous design appeal. The products on World Market are less modern, leaning towards a chic, industrial, worldly look. You can find some good items here at good price ranges. Pier 1, similar to World Market, doesn’t have the usual modern, Scandinavian aesthetics. Furniture and decor tend to have a contemporary look that attempts to fit in every home at price ranges that attract the masses. Urban Outfitters is one of the best sources for contemporary, chic, bohemian products. Though better known for clothing and apparel, their home department actually carries highly unique products that you won’t find on any of the stores listed above.
