The No Tray Highchair

August 13, 2010 by Natalie · Leave a Comment 

If you’re looking at these highchairs and having a ‘Do I know you from somewhere?’ moment think Pizza Express, Jamie Oliver’s Recipease, a host of restaurants around the country, and er…KFC. Like many parents, we’ve used them frequently and if you’ve liked them so much you’ve wondered how you can own one, you’ll be pleased [...]

A few months ago when it was time to wean baby Nia (now one), and Saria made it very clear that she wasn’t going to let her use her precious Svan highchair, Norwegian designers Stokke’s Tripp Trapp was instantly top of our list for Nia’s new eating home, and they were kind enough to send [...]

The lovely lady behind The Children’s Jewellery Company tipped me off about this bargain piece of child friendly furniture. This Vertbaudet chair is definitely a handy piece of furniture to have around. It is a regular dining chair which can be adjusted to fit the child allowing them to sit at the table easily.

   On my recent visit to Top Drawer, a retail trade show for design led products, I met Mr Kaliski who is behind the cardboard Billy Rocker I featured several months back. Since then, he’s graduated to the Cinch Seat, a simple, well designed booster seat with clean lines that will slip into your home [...]

There’s a new brand making a play for the high end nursery products market and in steps Zoobie. Product designers Guy and Steve have come up with contemporary, highly stylised highchairs and bouncer cradles. At first glance, they’re certainly going for the design-led parent that buys products that are aesthetically pleasing to their environment yet [...]

For a while it was a bit quiet on the highchair front here on BG but in a matter of days that’s all changed with the mention of Silver Cross’ new Doodle highchair, and now stylish innovators Brother Max have stepped up with their new Scoop Highchair. Suitable from 6 months to about 5 years, [...]

Silver Cross continue to go from strength to strength with well designed product offerings with the multitasking Doodle – I love their Easy Sleeper travel cot. Going from highchair to rather handy table and low chair in moments with a few clicks that are part of a patented attachment system, it even has lidded storage [...]

March 3, 2009 by Natalie · Leave a Comment 

I know enough Stokke Tripp Trapp owners to know that they tend to passionately love their chair although the one thing that they always have to reconcile themselves to is the lack of tray which some find difficult to hack in the early months of use when your baby is…well…messy! The Stokke Table Top offers [...]

February 9, 2009 by Natalie · Leave a Comment 

Ever since I laid eyes on Küster’s collection of “beautiful and useful products for children”, I’ve been a huge fan, so of course when we were offered the opportunity to ‘borrow’ their K1 highchair for a few weeks, we jumped at the chance. Testers: Moi, the boyf, and the bambino, who was 19 months at [...]

Natalie writes..I’ve been researching portable highchairs recently, not just for BG, but I’m at that stage of the pregnancy where I become fixated on the idea of buying something… Estelle recently reviewed the Handysitt Minui which is temptation central, but so far we’ve been really lucky when we go out highchair wise, so I do [...]

Estelle writes…We’ve all been there. You’re out and about at the weekend or on holiday and everyone’s starving. You spot the perfect place for a spot of lunch, but when you go inside all the highchairs are in use, or worse still they don’t have any at all. Even if there are highchairs available, they’re [...]

Review: K2 Küster Highchair

January 15, 2009 by Estelle · 1 Comment 

Estelle writes…I found choosing a highchair nearly as difficult as choosing a pram. There’s a great deal to consider, from the space saving implications to the suitability of the design to complement your decor. There’s no doubt the K2 Küster highchair is extremely easy on the eye. It’s minimalistic clean lines are at home in [...]
