The Highchair

In anticipation of Meera starting on solids we went and got her highchair.

Despite the relatively few choices in the market (relative to the US that is) I had quite a hard time deciding which one to get. First off was cost...cheap (IKEA/ similar basic chair) or expensive (with A LOT of features i.e. adjustable height, recline, etc...). Decided to go all out for this item since 1) I wanted something safe that I could put leave her unattended without having to worry she would tip over and 2) we would be using thia for a few years so better buy one that would last. And so began the scouting (and researching) of highchairs available to us. There were quite a few contenders...Chicco, Fisher Price, Sweet Cherry, Graco, Little Bean, and then some. (same manufacturer as Chicco. Looks exactly like the Chicco but when we went to test it out it just didn't meet expectations...like a Petaling Street knock off!). Fisher Price was a close second cos it had almost the same features (very good reviews online but a bit more expensive and I didn't really like the design). But in the end decided to go with the Chicco one. Plus it has a parent tray at the back which I think will be quite useful (to keep baby's hands away from the feeding bowl). Got it for RM649 (NOT CHEAP!!!) and that was after discount.

Must make sure Meera sits on it during feeding times. Hopefully she's not one of those kids that's running all over the place while eating. Otherwise....well...let's see how it goes...
