sulit ba ang HIGH CHAIR?

[wkt]

did any of you mommies use a high chair?  pros & cons po?

my dad insists on getting a high chair kasi for his apo and undecided naman ako if ever i'll get one for my baby nga. 

how do you feed your babies po ba pag walang high chair?

[Frenzied]

I didn't get one for my firstborn and I somehow regret it because this could have helped us imposed table manners earlier on. Ayan ang hirap na turuan mag sit still while eating, ikot ng ikot.

i wanna know as well   . to rin iniisip ko eh, baka kasi hindi naman sulit sayang lang ng pagbili. hanggang kelan ba to magagamit ng bata? baby ko kasi pagkumakain palakad lakad. nakakainis maghabol ng maghabol. gusto ko masanay sya na pag kumakain nakaupo lang. ayaw nya naman na nakakalong sya sa harap ng dining table  

before kasi sa carrier sya nakaupo pag pinapakain until nagsawa sya, nagpupumiglas pag pinapaupo ko na dun. tapos sa walker naman sya, ayun palakad lakad na nga pag pinapakain, she can't sit still in one place. kung ano anong nakikita na gusto kunin o puntahan. naku nakukunsume talaga ako, syempre yung kalat nya rin kung saan saan. lalo na ngayon na  hindi na sya gumagamit ng walker, kung saan saan talaga kami naghahabulan para matapos lang yung pagkain nya. pero when we are eating out behave sya sa high chair kaya i'm planning to buy one. kaso si hubby medyo hesitant kasi knowing daw our daughter na hindi mapakali sa upuan baka masayang lang.  eh gusto ko nga itrain eh...

Oh yes, since 6 mos. naka-high chair na ang mga anak ko. That's why we all eat together.

I bought the tripp-trapp high chair. Once the child is grown-up you can still use as a norma chair. Here is the link...

Quite pricey but it's worth it.

we've only been using a high chair for a little over a month pa lang. 11 months na si baby nung nakabili kami although matagal ko na talaga gusto bumili ng high chair. prob is wala mabilan na maayos dito samen and di naman ako makaluwas sa manila non  i really wanted to buy one before para makasabay namin siya kumain. para makita nya how it is..and this is to instill in her proper eating habits and table manners. ngayon super sulit samen ang high chair nya.   

nung wala pa kami high chair before, what i initially used was her swing from mama's & papa's. here's the pic:

naa-adjust yung upuan para nakaupo talaga si baby and may ginagalaw lang din sa ilalim para naka-steady siya and hindi pa-swing swing. when she got too big na for the swing, i put her na lang sa walker nya pag pinapakain ko siya. or nung time when she was ablt to stand up na, sa bed lang din na parang isang malaking crib since may harang on all 4 sides. pinalagyan ko

We got my son Chicco Poly high chair when he was around 5 months old yata- basta he was old enough to sit na on his own when we got him one.

It costs around 11K if my memory serves me right.

The high chair is really nice to have kasi you can inflict to your child proper eating manners until he's old enough to understand. OK rin yung hair chair para everybody gets to eat together at wala na magca-carry kay baby.

high chair is very useful,ako nga the minute my son learned to sit on his own nasa high chair na,kasi it's a good start talaga if you want to teach them table manners,kahit nauna na sya kumain, he can still sit with us and be a part of the conversation, saka kapag nasanay na sya,if you need to do something lalo na sa kitchen, especially kung yayaless ka, you can simply put them in it and let them watch what you do, instead na nagpapakarga or iwan mong naglalaro sa kwarto.

[jenny_syngkit]

both my kids refused to eat in a high chair. nasayang lang, we bought it for almost 10k.

[hapi_prego]

nope, not for us, i bought her a high chair around 6 or 7 months ata siya, at first it was okay, then later on, she don't wanna sit there na, ayaw nyang ma feel yung harness, anyways so what we do is we gave her a space to our dining table namin, with her own plate, spoon & fork, okay naman, she eats on her own and mas enjoy siyang kumain kesa sa high chair nya

there was this high chair na I am still contemplating if I'll buy it or not. convertible sya into table and chair when the baby overgrows the highchair. pwede syang study/activity table or pwede rin sya dun mag-eat. I saw 3 models sa SM 1 made of wood and 2 brands made of plastic. looks durable and sturdy naman. costs 4-6K.

^ i'll check that one out.  mahal din pala kasi ang high chair as i saw sa OL sellers.  im still undecided pero mejo leaning toward na ako sa pagbili ng high chair.  problem is masikip sa bahay -- dagdag basaysay nanaman hehe

[carebears_12]

sulit ang high chair sa daughter ko. she started using it mga 11 mos palang sya and until now na 2 yrs old na sya.gingamit pa din nya. nakaksabay namin sya kumain and alam nya pag time ng kumain, gusto na magpaupo sa high chair nya. nabili lang namin yun high chair nya sa may furniture shop sa min and mga less than 1k lang bili namin that time

[cocoysmom]

my son has the irdy brand, yung pwede i-fold to store na may detachable tray. ok naman matibay, good as new ngayon, madali pati linisin.

pansin ko lang when we make him sit sa high chair, konti lang nakakain. pag nagpababa na at nakalapag sya, ayun balik ng balik para subuan. mas madami atang nakakain anak ko kapag lakad sya ng lakad kesa nakaupo sa high chair. so ang ending, pag start lang ng meals sya nasa high chair. yung last 10-15 mins larga na sya. 

[jasmville]

im also contemplating on buying one, pero im torn between buying a high chair or a booster seat na lang kasi nga parang natatakot ako kasi nga "high" chair, 

what we do now pag pinapakain sya is he would sit on his walker and ok naman sya dun, enjoy naman sya.

With my son, we bought pietro high chair for only 1.2k. Okay naman, pareho lang sya ng features ng sa mickey mouse high chair na almost 1.6k.

My son is 7 months old, kapag pinapakain ko sya, mas madali na nandito sya. Hindi rin naman sya naiinis. If I'm doing something, mas gusto nyang nakaupo sya dito kesa nasa crib kaya mas okay for me kasi nakakagawa pa rin ako, I place naman the high chair kung saan nakikita ko sya. Di rin kasi safe kapag wala rin nagbabantay. Kesa kargahin ko sya, mas okay na nasa high chair sya.

i bought the fisher price booster seat with toys. convenient kasi compact and portable para pwede din dalin sa mga lola at sa mga restos (para in case madumi ang mga high chairs nila).

ang binili ko is the one with toys para may malaro sila while waiting.

[madam cruella]

sulit naman.  natututo sya ng tamang manners chaka natuto na rin sya feed yung sarili nya. plus, trained na sya kahit pag kumakain kami sa labas, sanay sya sa high chair.

[mctc_25]

sa anak ko hindi na sulit yung high chair
sandali lang nya nagamit
kapag kasi ilalagay namin sya sa high chair sa umpisa ok lang sa kanya but ilang minutes pa lang ayaw na nya
kaya later on hindi na namin nagamit yung high chair nya

mabuti na lang yung high chair na binili namin yung nako convert into separate chair and table, so later on yun na ang gagamitin naming study table nya, wala nga lang drawer  para paglagyan ng gamit nya
