[blParent] Re Weaning

[Nadine Lattimore]

Hi Rebecca 

Thanks for responding.

There are quite a few variations but something similar to this.

Has a moulded padded seat, footrest, 5 point harness and removable tray table with insert. I would love adjustable height of chair, multi position tray and footrest to accommodate growth. Hmmm I did consider a booster chair. The lobster chair style for when little one is a bit older will clamp to most tables. Multi purpose here, baby will be eating from our table allowing for us to monitor amount eaten versus painted and assist feeding. Also using our own chair ensures greater hygiene, let's face it a quick tray wipe doesn't help when straps etc are licked. Finally the space where the baby chair would ordinarily be, can instead be occupied by my guide dog. At almost 90lbs, he doesn't quite fit to curl up under most tables.

> Little one is thriving now at 4 months and I?m aware that weaning is only around the corner. I have 360 sippy beakers, plastic dishes and bowls that stick to the tray/table, a large silicone mat with sections that holds food (not sure if I?ve described that very well). I have toy tethers for sippy beaker and snack pots when baby starts to snack in stroller.

It attaches to table via clamps, has a 5 point safety harness and folds to pack away under stroller. My thoughts around the high chair are a 360 swivel chair with removable tray table. It has a large bar stool type base with seat attached by one main pole. This will eliminate any legs on the floor for trip hazard and also mean easier tidy up. The stable base will hopefully make it unable to tip if baby kicks at adult dining table.
