Two days ago, a contributor to the Mumsnet parenting website highlighted how her young son had managed to get out of his belt. She wrote: ‘OK, so anyone know how to keep a climbing baby in the Antilop highchair? ‘There doesn’t seem to be any way to fit a five-point harness, went to get a cloth earlier and came back to find DS had wriggled out from the lap belt (I do tighten it but it loosens itself) and was sitting on the tray with his back to me!’ An earlier post stated: ‘Babybod has turned into an escapologist and no matter how tight the strap on the Antilop is, he wriggles out. Do I just need to buy superglue?!’ Last night an Ikea spokesman said: ‘Customers are advised to contact us for an exchange or refund if they have bought the faulty product.’ Check stock location and store opening hours in for IKEA FAMILY members Offer available - or while supply lasts Price and range may vary between online & store.

Doesn't fold so you have to take the legs off to store it, only one sitting position and one height.
Compare deals from top retailers A highchair is a pretty essential piece of baby kit, but one you don’t need until your little one is about 6 months old - by which time funds have generally run dry! Keeping that in mind I was thrilled when I found the Ikea Antilop highchair, which costs around £10. The Ikea Antilop highchair has proven popular not only with mums but with restaurants too. As well as being cheap, its simple design means there are no nooks and crannies for bits of food to get trapped in and cleaning takes seconds with an antibacterial wipe. The highchair is basic in that it has just one sitting position and one height and is available in silver-colour and white. And, as with most things from Ikea, you can’t argue with the price! I bought this highchair for my little girl Evie, who’s now 14 months, because our house is quite small and the highchair is very compact - I saw loads that were much bulkier. It doesn’t have a harness, just a safety belt, but there’s no footrest so I think it would be hard for Evie to climb out as there’s nothing for her to push up against.
The highchair is really easy to clean, which is great because Evie absolutely insists on feeding herself, and most of her cereal/yoghurt/casserole ends up on the chair rather than in her mouth. It is also just the right height to pull up to the table so Evie can join in family meals. You can easily pull the legs off and throw it in the back of the car if you’re going to stay with family or friends, but it’s so cheap that lots of people buy two and keep one at their mum’s place to save the hassle. I like the fact that it’s not too babyish – just neutral colours and functional design. The chair itself is made from material that can be recycled, but I plan to have more children so I expect to be using it for some years to come. You can also buy a tray and a blow-up cushion to go with it for extra comfort. It’s light enough to easily move from room to room or into the garden, and you can try before you buy at the restaurants in Ikea stores. Ultimately, at that price, what’s not to love?
