I looked at those but they are WAYYY to wide for my little house lol. We have one that we can fold up, I think its a mothers choice one...]]> Fri, 28 Nov 2008 19:50:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=555228&title=highchairs#555228 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=555062&title=highchairs#555062 Author: Danaj

Hey Genie,

Yep, it arrived really quickly.

The tray doesn't slide forward but there's heaps of room for baby to be slipped in and out. There is a safety strap that's hooked through the underside and up through some slots in the seat. It's only one strap but looks ok.

The legs do have a large foot print. It breaks down but it's not that easy to do so once it's up, it's up. Very easy to clean though I have to say.

I got the padded insert which is only a rectangle of foam with a cover that you wrap around the inside of the seat to keep baby up. No padding on the seat it's self.

Overall i'd say a 6-7 out of 10. But the rocker/bouncinette is very cool and I want one in my size!!]]> Fri, 28 Nov 2008 15:51:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=555062&title=highchairs#555062 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=554535&title=highchairs#554535 Author: Genie

Did it arrive yet Dana? I'm thinking about getting one too, just wondering how wide it is down the bottom, it looks like the legs stick out a way and we don't have a lot of room in our dining room. Does the tray slide forward for getting baby in and out? Sorry for all the questions..]]> Thu, 27 Nov 2008 21:58:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=554535&title=highchairs#554535 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=551089&title=highchairs#551089 Author: Alianasmummy

I got one of those super padded reclining highchairs from babyfactory as a well meaning present from grandparents, but OMG is a B'atch to clean! and baby slouches in it because it reclines so much. i think i will sell it and buy one of those. and its 1/3 the price ]]> Mon, 24 Nov 2008 10:51:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=551089&title=highchairs#551089 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=550897&title=highchairs#550897 Author: Roksana

I have a padded one from baby city and I never worried too much about the cleaning part of it...every so ofter we would take the padding out chuck it in the washing machine...wipe the seat, leave it outside to dry and put it all back together!!

Ahh so it would still be quite portable!

I wish I could go shopping, am very tempted to sell all my old stuff & get new stuff, don't think DH would like that though.]]> Sun, 23 Nov 2008 22:07:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=550855&title=highchairs#550855 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=550779&title=highchairs#550779 Author: mummyofprinces

Thats the one I am planning on getting too Dana. Let me know if the tray slides forward as I have heard that the tray doesnt slide forward just comes off??? Apparently the new models slide now so I am curious about that.]]> Sun, 23 Nov 2008 21:03:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=550779&title=highchairs#550779 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=550438&title=highchairs#550438 Author: Danaj

Nah, it doesn't fold up but the legs pull out so all good. I bought one of their bouncy rocker things too. They sent a discount coupon via email so I got the rocker for $55.00. Not bad for one days shopping sitting in my kitchen lol.]]> Sun, 23 Nov 2008 13:05:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=550438&title=highchairs#550438 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=550426&title=highchairs#550426 Author: AandCsmum

Wow that looks cool, I got one from baby factory last time with no padding & even that was a pain to clean food from. Would love to get one of these!

Only downfall would be that it doesnt' look like it folds up. ]]> Sun, 23 Nov 2008 12:39:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=550426&title=highchairs#550426 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=550393&title=highchairs#550393 Author: kebakat

Just ordered it and supposed to be here in three days so i'll put a post up about it when it gets here. It was free freight and a free safety strap so $108 all up with the padded insert. The one I was look at in the shops was about $220.00 so this is heaps better. ]]> Sun, 23 Nov 2008 11:13:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=550381&title=highchairs#550381 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=550371&title=highchairs#550371 Author: Danaj

Yeah it's really well priced.

Hi Ladies,

Couldn't find a thread on this so thought I would start one.

What brand/type of highchair would you recommend to new parents? I'm looking at buying one now while we have the money and was wondering what pros and cons to look out for when shopping. Also, which ones are the easiest to keep clean.

There are so many lovely ones with heaps of padding and extras but they just look like giant food traps to me. I lived with my sister for all three of her babies and it still astounds me just how far bubs can throw food. I don't want to have to pull apart the entire thing everytime she has a meal.

I don't mind spending the money to get a decent chair but some of them look completely useless considering what they're designed for.]]> Sun, 23 Nov 2008 10:41:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22657&PID=550358&title=highchairs#550358
