    Pram and highchair suggestions for a TALL BABY!

    I am ready to tear my hair out!

    My daughter is 15 months and in the tallest percentile. She has a peg perego prima papa highchair which she is too tall for the shoulder straps.
    Does anyone know of a high chair with straps that suit a child the average size of a two year old? She won't sit in a booster successfully ( keeps climbing out).

    I'm also pregnant, so am now looking for a double pram.
    Seems like there are pro's and cons for all types, ie tandem or double.
    The strider 4 ( with the toddler seat at the rear/ underneath) seems to have the tallest seat available for our daughter but a lot of people seem to hate these for the fact that toddlers don't like the lack of vision.

    I'm getting frustrated....

    Someone out there in forum land MUST have found themselves in similar situation?!

    Why not try a booster seat instead as they only do up around waist and between legs.???

    Otherwise only have her in high chair when you are next to her and dont strap her in??

    As for pram My boys are 18 months apart and I have a phil and ted dash and a Mclaren Vouge. If using Mclaren I had baby in carrier and DS1 in stroller and once older I had DS2 in pram and DS1 walking or on skateboard.

    The ikea high chair only has a lap strap so doesn't matter about height.

    The Silver Cross Pop Duo is very suited to tall babies. There is a bit that can be removed so their heads have heaps of room.

    Our DD1 is very tall and the ikea high chair still fits at almost 3. It's also sooooooo easy to clean .

    Another one here with tall babies who also recommends the Ikea highchair. DD2 is almost 3 and we still use it on her occasionally and there is plenty of room.

    What will your age gap be? My boys are 12 months apart and I love my city mini double. I wanted a side by side so now that they are older they can chatter away, play, poke one another... I also had them both in Chico polly high chair, bit expensive but wonderful they would sometimes fall asleep while eating so I'd just recline and leave them. Padded and comfy

    My son has just turned two and he is about 93cm tall. he has a Valco Rad pram which I think is now replaced by the Rebel Q - lots of room for him to grow and the adjustable handle itself is tall so I dont get a sore back pushing him around (im 6'4")

    He also has a Love n Care Techno chair which he is just about to start getting too big for but he is now able to pull a chair up to the coffee table and eat there anyway.
