It's so smart, has no tray so your baby eats with you, and can be used as a regular adult chair. Multi-purpose and fits under the table. Plus, their Xplory stroller is pretty awesome and space-saving too. http://www.stokkeusa.com/tripptrapphome.htm http://www.stokkeusa.com/xploryhome.htm Tripp Trapp all the way!

We bought after our girl grew out of the high chair which was enormous and ridiculous, we should have just had the Trip Trapp all along. I second the Trip-Trapp vote, well worth the money.

I just thought I would mention that when I inquired about it at the baby store, I was told that the blue and green model has been discontinued and will be replaced by a red and yellow model. The only difference I can see it that the old model comes with a removable tray that goes in the dishwasher. I was able to get a hold of the old model at a department store because the extra tray seemed nice.

It's the type of seat that just hooks onto your table. I love it since it doesn't take up much space, folds flat, easy to travel with, great at restaurants, easy to clean, not expensive, easy to install, and brings the baby/child closer to the table. It's awesome. You can find them at Amazon and other places too. It's good to up to 40 lbs. Even though my kids are well past high chair age, I've kept our seat since it's small enough to fit in a drawer in our kitchen and is handy to have with visiting cousins and other small visitors.

It is simple, cheap, lightweight, stable, and easy-to-clean. Also, if you need to keep it for later children, the legs come off for easy storage. IKEA also sells a tray for the Antilop. If you eat where there are no high chairs (friends' houses, restaurants whose high chairs always seem to be broken or in use by others), the In the Pocket Baby "contraption" from the Scandinavian Design Center (http://www.scandinaviandesigncenter.com/SearchResult/usd0&key=baby+seat) is useful.

It has an industrial look to it and takes up no floor space, due to its clip on design. We also love that it folds completely flat (unlike many other hook on seats) and therefore we take it with us any time we go out to eat or visit friends. We use the MeToo chair by Phil and Ted.

The Antilop goes in the dishwasher (pop off the legs and straps)! A grandmother bought us the Me Too! clip on as well, which was handy for trips and is still handy when people come over, but compared to the others, it's tough to clean.

We got a lot of flack for not putting enough "stuff" on our registry. We had to buy very little. For those expecting, look into the Graco Snugride system. The car seat snaps into the stroller and a small, folding swing frame. Had we known about the swing frame earlier, we could have saved ourselves a lot of space. @bms

I found boosters with trays that went on the dining chairs at yard sales. I think I paid a grand total of $5 each. When they no longer needed the tray, they just used it as a booster. Prior to that, we fed them in the bouncy seat. There are a lot of 'necessities' for babies that are just clutter in disguise. We erred on the side of not buying/asking for things, and there was almost nothing that we found we had to run out and get. We never had a high chair for either kid.

Just didn't want people to think they had to wait. Sorry to double post but wanted to clarify, my two year old daughter went to the Cooshee when she was about about 9 months old…not two years old.

We've got two now, our two yr old daughter lasted abuot a day in a high chair and went directly to Cooshee. It is surprisingly 'containing' and 'supportive'. As mentioned, very easy to clean and store away. We've got number three (kid that is) on the way, and will definately order another one, and probably a couple spare for when we have friends with kids over. Definately the way to go.
