With Ashlyn I cant remember when we really stopped using highchair but it was great for really messy stuff and when I needed to get something done and wanted to know where she was so she was too young to let herself out. Anastasia only gets put in highchair if we are all eating at the same time or I need her to be restrained while getting things done. Karl doesnt get home till after 6.30 and I like to have the girls fed by then if poss. so its more of a mothers-aid than anything. Although when Ashlyn is tired she wants to go into the highchair instead of Anastasia. We got a great set of chairs and table from Ikea while in Sydney, the legs flare slightly so they are a bit more stable and its a perfect hight for them both. Very sturdy, chairs hold adults easily]]> Fri, 19 Jan 2007 19:30:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5277&PID=102568&title=is-your-2-year-old-still#102568 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5277&PID=102522&title=is-your-2-year-old-still#102522 Author: toniellis

Alex hasn't been in a high chair since.....a year old?? I use it for Blaire now anyway but Alex wanted his own chair & table so that is what he got. He eats his meals at a little round coffee table with a little plastic chair. It actually made life easier because he hated his high chair but is more than happy to sit on his own "big boy" chair.]]> Fri, 19 Jan 2007 16:22:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5277&PID=102522&title=is-your-2-year-old-still#102522 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5277&PID=102461&title=is-your-2-year-old-still#102461 Author: mum2paris

Ayja is still in a high chair.. she's 2 weeks younger than Harmony, but that's only for dinner time. Brekkie and lunch she has at the little table and chairs, both girls have one and they are good. We have a large xmas table cloth that is plastic backed (the "messy mat") which goes down under the tables or under the highchair and paris's table.

Paris was about the same age. I mean brekkie and lunch are usually les messy so we started with those.. plus, really, dinner is when you really want to sit and relax and enjoy your meal and at the mo, Ayja is still too monkey-ish to be able to sit still and wait for us to clean her up - if she was at a table and chairs she'd just get up and run away in the middle of us eating dinner.

It's up to you really. but no, I don't think she should still be in a highchair unless there is a reason for it (he he, ie entrapment) if she's doing well without then don't worry about it.]]> Fri, 19 Jan 2007 13:16:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5277&PID=102461&title=is-your-2-year-old-still#102461 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5277&PID=102064&title=is-your-2-year-old-still#102064 Author: Xander&Harmony

I got sick of having the great big hunk of high chair in the middle of our dining room so Han now sits on a normal chair... sometimes with a cushion. But that's more to stop her spilling food all over the chair than to prop her up. hehe]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 21:59:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5277&PID=102048&title=is-your-2-year-old-still#102048 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5277&PID=102038&title=is-your-2-year-old-still#102038 Author: 11111

Andrew has his own table and chair (as we don't have the space at the moment for a dining table) and has been sitting there since about 18 months old. He too could undo the straps and he ate at daycare at the table (had been since he was a year old) so it was easier for him to do the same at both places. In my opinion a highchair isn't for a 2 year old they like to be independant and letting them sit with you or at a special chair is great for them.]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 20:22:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5277&PID=102017&title=is-your-2-year-old-still#102017 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5277&PID=102011&title=is-your-2-year-old-still#102011 Author: busymum

I took Hannah out of her highchair about 18-20mos, thinking I'd do that at the same time as the cot/bed transition in preparation for Briona's arrival. She could already climb up and down from the chairs anyway. In hindsight I wished I had kept the highchair in service for a bit longer because Briona didn't need it for a long time yet and Hannah was still a bit short.

Briona's still in her highchair but she can climb up/down a regular chair and won't fall off, so I'll just be moving her into a regular chair when she's tall enough. It will definitely be before 2yo because Krystiana will need it by then! ]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 20:17:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5277&PID=102011&title=is-your-2-year-old-still#102011 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5277&PID=101966&title=is-your-2-year-old-still#101966 Author: meow

we sit at the coffee table in the lounge to eat....bad i know! anyway....jack has his own wee chair he sits in but if we do sit at the table, he sits in his high chair without the tray, so it's like sitting in a normal chair if you get what i mean?

Jake wasn't from about 18 months. he has a different chair from us - but it is a normal one, just a wee bit higher. He sits quietly and eats dinner or whatever - yells "finsihed" and will get down himself. We let him feed himself from about 9 months (with some help from mum otherwise it would have been an all day adventure) and apparetnly he easts very nicely with his cutlery, compared to some others (of course the "some others" are nearly five and yet to be toilet trained but thats anbother story)

what was the reasoning for her still "should be in a high chair"?]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 16:46:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5277&PID=101959&title=is-your-2-year-old-still#101959 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5277&PID=101958&title=is-your-2-year-old-still#101958 Author: caraMel

Using a high chair?
We got rid of ours in favour of a booster because Ella had learned how to undo the straps and was trying to climb out of it at every opportunity.
We then got rid of the booster because she learned how to undo the straps and would come and sit next to us on a regular chair on her knees anyway so it seemed a bit redundant.
Anyway, last night I was given a lecture about how 'She really should still be in a high chair' and it made me wonder how many kids her age still are?

Ramble over, lol ]]> Wed, 17 Jan 2007 16:41:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5277&PID=101958&title=is-your-2-year-old-still#101958
