    Antilop from IKEA.
    The best. And cheap. So not all cheap stuff is nasty. Comes with a blow up insert for younger kids and its the only one that would get DS to sit up straight in and not slump down and bump his chin on the tray
    Just wanted to second (or third?) this recommendation. Excellent highchair, easy to move and clean. A must have in my opinion for only $40. I would pay top $ for it as it's so good and easy to keep like brand new.

    A fourth for the Ikea! I love this chair! So, so easy to clean and makes bubs sit up straight, unlike most chairs which encourage a slumped posture, which I figure is not great when eating.

    Obviously it's a bonus that it's cheap, but I would have paid alot more for it. It doesn't look like much, but it does a great job. I know a few people IRL who love it too.

    ETA I read on here once that when one mum found her child was just so grotty after eating, and the Ikea highchair was too, she just put them all in the shower to get the child and chair clean LOL!

    What a fine idea - some of those restaurant/food court highchairs are filthy!

    We had a peg pegero given to us (after my girlfriend had her two boys use it). It did my 2 girls. So all in all did 4 kids. Was awful to clean though, but looked super comfy.

    When Sam was ready for solids i got the ikea antilop. Got the blow up cushiony thing too. Man on man on man....it is the best $60 bucks ive ever spent. Perfect, perfect high chair.....dont waste your time on any other....seriously.......

    FYI - The ikea chair does not have a 5 point harness, just a belt that clips around the waist. We have not had any issues with this.
