We bought the Ikea high chair to leave at "Grandma and Grandpas house", after having bought a big fancy chair for home. It was bought when our little bubba Lily was only just starting to eat solids, so she was still quite small.

I must say this is one product we are very impressed with.

1. It is a good size for small babies.
   The big fancy chair we bought made Lily look like she was disappearing when she was small. With this chair she sits up above the tray table (an extra $10), and can easily reach the food on it. It looks proportional to her size and she is much happier being able to look around at everyone easily.
2. It is solid
   Haven't had any issues with stability
3. It is light and easy to move around
4. It is dead easy to clean
   Just wipe it off with a cloth... no crevices or padding to get food mashed into.
5. Is is very inexpensive.
   At AUD$39 (plus $10 for the tray), this is one very inexpensive chair!

Probably the only negative thing I would have to say is that adjusting the safety belt small enough for Lily was a bit tricky, but that may be because I'm not good at following the instructions. We eventually got her nice and secure.

While I'm sure the big fancy chair will be much better for Lily as she gets big, I would have to seriously recommend the Ikea chair to anyone who is buying their first high chair. A great product.
