Do babies need footrest on high chair?
Posture is so incredibly important when you begin weaning, in fact one of the requirements of starting weaning is that your baby has to be able to sit upright safely before you can begin. It has huge effects on the success of a meal, so if you are struggling with weaning or if baby is upset in their highchair/at meal times it may be a priority for you to consider that they are not properly supported in their highchair causing discomfort and frustration.
We love the antilop highchair and can say this is the best high chair ever, adding our bamboo footrests means your little feeder will be able to support your babies with foot support.
How to add the footrest to the high chair?
Simply take the legs off the IKEA Antilop high chair, roll the thick o-rings above and below the wooden footrest to keep it from slipping down and adjust to your baby's height, and that's it - easy peasy!
Whats the best high chair with adjustable footrest?
