wallest02 says "simple & affordable" about Ikea Antilop High Chair

My son used this high chair from when he was just sitting up until he was 3 and a half.

We love it!!

The only bad thing I can think of (and I'm trying to think of something so you won't think i'm exaggerating about the good points) is that the tray is kind of difficult to get off when there is someone in the chair.

We were looking for a modern/simple style high chair that didn't have a lot of cushions to clean or weird parts to lose or break. We found it when we found the highly affordable IKEA antilop high chair!! We are so happy with this purchase. It is light weight and comes apart easily to get it out of the way when we need to but sturdy - we had zero problems with tipping/falling, and my son (as he got older) would even crawl into it from the main table when i wasn't paying attention - and he eventually learned how to stand up in it and the crawl over the side. Like I said - zero problems with tipping - which was my biggest concern when I first looked at it.

crazyeasyjoy says "affordable height chair!" about Ikea Antilop High Chair

We use this height chair whenever we go to the IKEA dining area. Our daughter seems to like it and have fun when we are there. I'm not sure how safe/stable the chair is as your child gets bigger and moves with more force. It's good for now though..................

The only reason I wouldn't recommend it is because of how light it is. I doubt its safety for older children.

PPJ says "Ikea high chair" about Ikea Antilop High Chair

I love this product!!

This is an excellent value. You can buy extra trays (they are only$5.00), so while one is in the dishwasher, you can have an extra.

I bought this one with my third child and love how it all come apart easily if you want to travel with it.

You may want to buy a cushion if the child sits in it for longer than a meal.

Best used for a baby over 6 months.

It has no bells and whistles at all, but is well made.

I fits right up to the table without the tray, so it is handy in that way.

pickypurchaser says "This is a delightfully simple chair." about Ikea Antilop High Chair

pickypurchaser — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:36:37 GMT

The chair is all washable and lightweight. It makes it simple to lift it up over the sink and spray off if the meal was a mess. Straps are adjustable but nothing else is. The tray removes if you want your child to sit up to the table with you. It was pretty cheap price and replaced the expensive highchair that caused me more work.

aktoaster says "Why did I pay so much for other chairs?" about Ikea Antilop High Chair

aktoaster — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 18:28:35 GMT

I adore these high chairs. Bought for my twin boys to use outside on the back deck, as I was tired of lugging our huge wooden high chairs back and forth. After using them, I wish I had just bought these chairs in the first place.

Stackable, small and unobtrusive, our kids are comfortable in the chairs and strap in just fine. Also - when we're outside, we just hose them off.

I'm not a fan of filling landfills with plastic, but even the nicest wooden high chairs have some plastic elements, so it seems fairly unavoidable. And feeding babies/toddlers on your lap might work for some, but with one-year-old twins and a preschooler, impossible!

I would highly recommend these. Not great for really small babies, but if you're nursing your baby exclusively until she is 6-8 months only anyway (which is recommended), then feeding baby cereal to a 7-month-old who can sit up should be no problem at all in this chair.

molybdenite42 says "The Antilop Highchair has few places for nasty food bits to hide" about Ikea Antilop High Chair

molybdenite42 — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 21:02:06 GMT

The Ikea Antilop High Chair is wonderful and I wish I had found it sooner! Its very simple design is great b/c there are no seams or creases for food to hide in. It also fits nicely up to the table when they get bigger. I've got 2 for my 2 kids and my 3 year old still sits in it at the table. You also cannot beat the price. It is also is easy to drag onto the deck for when we want to bbq and eat outside! I wish it was a bit easier for them to climb into themselves. Our oldest chair is now about 2 years old and does not have any cracks or even signs of wear. I wish it did come in more colors. We have a blue and white. I did see that they have come out a red one the last time I was there. One con is that it is very easy for them to stand up in, if the safety strap is not fastened. When my 3-yr old does this, it seems very unsteady. All in all, this is the best high chair that I have used. I did have a conventional one to begin w/but this is much better!

Noemie says "A good product for the price" about Ikea Antilop High Chair

Noemie — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 06:28:07 GMT

We recently bought an Antilop chair after shopping around a bit, and just couldn't pass up the great deal it was for a simple, neat design. Other fancier ones had patterns or bad colors, and features we really didn't need. IKEA did have 2 other colors available at the time, but the blue and the red would really have clashed with our decor.

This high chair is very stable, very easy to clean, and comes with a tray that wraps around the sides to catch items that aren't falling off staight ahead. We did get the optional inflatable pillow ($2) to fit our 4-month-old in it so that he wouldn't slouch or slip out the front. Now he can sit with us at the dinner table and play with plastic spoon, before he's even old enough to eat along with us.

My only issue is that we sometimes get our feet caught in the legs as they are angled out for extra stability. For this reason, we've placed it on the side of the table that gets the least traffic.

rebbyribs says "Easy to Clean" about Ikea Antilop High Chair

rebbyribs — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 07:14:08 GMT

I like the IKEA Antilop high chair so much better than the typical ones on the market. For one, it's cheap. It isn't ugly. And it's easy to clean, since it's one piece of hard plastic. You can use it with or without a tray, so it's good for stand-alone use as well as for pulling up to the dining table. (It fits right under our IKEA dining table too!)

One feature this lacks, compared to other brands of high chair, is that the seat position is not adjustable and cannot recline to accommodate younger babies who aren't sitting up on their own yet. But if you don't plan on using the high chair until your kid is able to sit up well, this won't be a problem.

pinklemonade7503 says "Cheap, but good for the price" about Ikea Antilop High Chair

pinklemonade7503 — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 04:32:52 GMT

We bought this as a spare to leave when visiting gramma and gramdpa. I liek it b/c it was cheap- but it really is dull and boring looking. Ikea's Antilop high chair is very spartan, but that may be what some people like.

garners898 says "Simple high chair for those tired of all the unnecessary stuff!" about Ikea Antilop High Chair

garners898 — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 19:51:22 GMT

For those tired of all the "extra stuff" coming with high chairs these days, the Atilop high chair from IKEA may be for you! It is nothing else but a high chair. It is small made of light weight white plastic. It can me used with the detachable tray or as a "booster" and slide right up to the table with the big folks. It has no plush cushions to clean, just wipe it down and it is ready to go again. The legs can be easily detached so you can take it with you (although it is not advertised as a "portable chair". And it has the necessary belt straps to keep the little squirmers in place.

IKEA does sell an "infant insert" for this chair, but to me it looks to be better suited for children who are already sitting independantly.

Bottom line: If simpllicity is your thing then run to your nearest IKEA and pick up the Antilop (did i mention it's only $18.99???). RUN!!!
