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!chair cover rentals woodbridge No crevices for food to hide in.womb chair for sale canada The seat is one solid piece of molded plastic.dining chairs for sale in barnsley The plastic is easily washable with a mild cleaner or a damp rag.power chair lifts for minivans The tray has raised edges to prevent spills from leaking on to the floor.rocking chairs for sale in louisiana

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.dressing table chair argos 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. Based on looks alone, this chair won’t win any awards. But for functionality, this is the perfect high chair for our family. Where I got it: our local IKEA store How much I paid: $30.00 plus tax Average cost: $30.00 for both the tray and seat Published on April 9th, 2013 | Improving your Antilop highchair Materials: Antilop highchair, and two Antilop trays

Description: The only thing that’s missing on Antilop is some support for the child’s feet. My husband got this great idea after I had done the typical wife-bitching and demanded a better chair for our daughter. Your simply buy an extra tray; drill four holes (use a machine that can drill big enough holes for the legs!) – one in each “corner”, and put the legs of the chair through the holes. The tray will stay in place without glue, and can be placed exactly where you need it. An extra bonus, is that it’s catching food as well More hacks on IKEAHackers.net Back to Top ↑Sam was pissed off that I bought the Stokke Tripp Trapp when there are some very good, inexpensive highchairs on the market (hello IKEA). I sold something to afford the Tripp Trapp, at a time when that money could have been used elsewhere. Reasons I thought I needed a Tripp Trapp: It looked mega easy to clean. It’s tiny for a highchair, takes up the same amount of space as a normal chair, and can be tucked under the table when the baby set is not in use.

It can be used for much longer than a standard highchair. It adapts for an older child, a desk chair, and even works as an adult seat. It comes in a good range of colours. All my friends were getting one. I envisioned all of my (future) children sitting at the table with their own Tripp Trapps in a funky array of colours that perfectly contrasts with our neutral dining room colour scheme. Y’know, because that’s important. Part of the reason it’s taken me so long to review the Tripp Trapp is because it’s a bit of a sore subject with the other half to admit that a highchair that costs ten times less would have been just as good a purchase. Perhaps a better purchase even, as for the first six months a highchair tray would have been really handy, and I couldn’t afford £50 (£50!) for the tray that fits the Tripp Trapp. We have since bought the IKEA Antilop chair for my mum’s house, and I can confirm that this highchair takes up about the same amount of space as the Tripp Trapp, is just as easy to clean, has a tray, and is a fraction of the price.

He sits well in it and he can’t slump down too far. Seriously, you do not need to look any further than this highchair unless a super-quick folding chair is of great importance to you. Plus points for the Tripp Trapp: It aids good posture better than any other highchair Arlo has tried in the past 12 months of eating in pubs, restaurants and at friends’ houses. Try as he might, there is no chance that he can slump in that chair. For that reason, I am so glad that it’s the chair he uses every day. (If you are desperate to try out the Tripp Trapp in an eating scenario, I believe that TGI Friday use Tripp Trapps as their restaurant highchairs.) Now that we are into the toddler years, I can better see the potential longevity of the Tripp Trapp over typical highchairs that are redundant once the child reaches two or three years old. We have little space to store the various chairs a child might use during the first eight years of life, so I’m very glad that this one chair will serve as highchair, children’s dining chair, and desk chair.
