The high(cost)chair

THIS is Zoe's first meal at a restaurant.

B.Y.O.

She couldn't fit in the highchair so she had to eat in her pram.

A little but messy but it worked.

It was really fun taking her out for a meal. She's now like part of the dining party.

"Table for three, please."

Realising the pressing need for a highchair, we picked up the TrippTrap by Stokke, the same makers of her pram.

It sure looks good, doesn't it?

And the best part is Zoe just loves it.

But here's the funny part: Zoe actually needs a highchair with tray-table at this stage.

The TrippTrap encourages children to eat at the dining table but Zoe is just super messy now and her little arms can't quite reach for things on the table yet.

So we went to Ikea to buy a cheapo dirty-it-as-much-as-you-want version. It cost about one fifteenth of TrippTrap.

And Zoe just adores the Ikea version too!

Hmm... looks like if we had visited Ikea first, we could have saved ourselves a few bucks.
