We have a Kingston Dinette highchair from Baby Factory and I really like it. I used to recline it slightly when Jack was first on solids and not 100% brilliant at sitting up. I also like the removable top tray. It was a pain cleaning food out of the creases until I saw a friend placing a teatowel over her son's lap when he ate. I now do this will Jack and it keeps his clothes clean and catches almost all food that he drops, I only tend to clean out the highchair once a week and that is really habit as opposed to necessity]]> Fri, 03 Jul 2009 20:02:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27269&PID=715415&title=highchair-dilemna#715415 <![CDATA[Highchair dilemna : Hi Bizzy What is wrong with the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27269&PID=715145&title=highchair-dilemna#715145 Author: Xaviers_mum

Hi Bizzy

What is wrong with the lip around the tray?? Also is it a pain that it doesnt have a footrest??

THanks!!]]> Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:05:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27269&PID=715145&title=highchair-dilemna#715145 <![CDATA[Highchair dilemna : Flissty - yep you&#039;re right...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27269&PID=714726&title=highchair-dilemna#714726 Author: emz

Flissty - yep you're right it's the wooden ones that have the footrests not the designer ones. ]]> Thu, 02 Jul 2009 20:43:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27269&PID=714726&title=highchair-dilemna#714726 <![CDATA[Highchair dilemna : After all I&#039;ve read on here,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27269&PID=714095&title=highchair-dilemna#714095 Author: shadowfeet

After all I've read on here, which is a fair amount about the mocka designer chair, I'm not even considering looking at the highchairs in local shops. This is the best and cheapest out there i'm convinced

i have a mocka designer (and it doesnt have a foot rest, that is the wooden ones) and my only gripe would be the lip around the tray.... it doesnt have a full harness, just a waist strap, but it has never been a problem for us... also they need some support when they first go in it and a towel is probaly just as good as the foam piece they sell. i think it looks styley and yeah no fiddly bits to clean.    ]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2009 22:13:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27269&PID=714087&title=highchair-dilemna#714087 <![CDATA[Highchair dilemna : I had a highchair that reclined...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27269&PID=713755&title=highchair-dilemna#713755 Author: Tweedle

I had a highchair that reclined with our first and a simpler one with our 2nd - both were HORRIBLE to clean, bits of food and crumbs got caught everywhere!
I have bought a Mocka designer for this baby - love that it is simple looking and that is will be a breeze to clean!! ]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:42:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27269&PID=713755&title=highchair-dilemna#713755 <![CDATA[Highchair dilemna : My 17 month DD has never tried...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27269&PID=713661&title=highchair-dilemna#713661 Author: Febgirl

My 17 month DD has never tried to climb our Mocka wooden chair

And I've never personally figured out why highchairs recline - it's not as if you want bubs to eat their dinner lying on their back! ]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:48:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27269&PID=713661&title=highchair-dilemna#713661 <![CDATA[Highchair dilemna : Am prettty sure the Mocka designer...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27269&PID=713624&title=highchair-dilemna#713624 Author: fire_engine

Am prettty sure the Mocka designer ones don't have that - they're pretty basic with no foot rests/climbing platforms! It's the mocka wooden ones they can climb.

We got a simple collapsable one from Baby factory for about $80 - no seams on the padding so really easy to clean.

The mocka ones are great if you want to spend that much - only thing I've noticed with them is that when they get to climbing everything, they learn pretty quickly to use it as a ladder as the foot part is a perfect height and is rigid. Seriously, my friend's boy pushes his around the house and uses it to try and climb on the dining table, washing machine etc!]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:06:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27269&PID=713612&title=highchair-dilemna#713612 <![CDATA[Highchair dilemna : I&#039;m with Stacey.

I'm with Stacey. I bought one that looked all soft and cumfy - stupid mistake. The only time DH swears is when he has to clean it. Everyone I know who has a mocka designer (or a simple wooden one) swears by them.]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:02:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27269&PID=713608&title=highchair-dilemna#713608 <![CDATA[Highchair dilemna : I wish I had a mocka one.

hi all,
I'm new to this but have a 4month old babe and am looking to purchase a highchair. I've seen the MOcka designer highchair which looks super easy and simple but then I don't know if I should go with this option or a more traditional type like a Babyfirst recliner highchair???

Does anyone have a Mocka -any opinions? Is it better to have a highchair that reclines?

Any ideas gratefully received! ]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:17:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27269&PID=713578&title=highchair-dilemna#713578
