    Question From highchair to table & chair?

    Hi guys,

    DD#1 is almost 2 and I've been wondering when I should make the transition from highchair to a little table & chair for meals.

    ATM its more convenient to leave her in the highchair so I can feed DD#2 or eat in peace but is that just being slack?!

    When did you pack up the highchair for your little one?

    TIA

    I went straight from highchair to a booster seat with armrests that sat in nice and close to the table. I did it at around 2 with my first, and about 14months with the second. It worked well for us.

    We stopped using a high chair just after Claire turned 1. She was using a chair & table at daycare, so we got a small chair and table for her for home because she seemed to prefer it. She still does use a high chair at my parents place though.

    We have a small table and chairs which we use during the day for Nina, and at dinner time she sits at the table with us. Occassionally she'll ask to sit in the highchair, but not often. Some kids tend to keep leaving the table to play, others don't. Nina doesn't, but that's because she enjoys her food too much
