No-DD has been out of her high chair for ages. She was in a booster from about 18 months on and at just past 2 started sitting in a regular chair.

I already had two. I put DD in the high chair and DS continued to use the space saver pulled up to the kitchen table. DS now sits in a regular seat without the space saver. We actually just put it away a couple of weeks ago. DS will be 3 in 4 months.

Re: BTDT moms that had a newborn and 2 year old

No, there's a 22 month age difference & DD was still sitting in the highchair at the time. By the time DS was in there eating solids DD preferred to sit at the table (& even refused a booster seat). Every now & then she still likes to sit in the highchair for messy stuff like soup or even to do playdoh or paint--but I don't think you need 2.

No. DS was in a booster at that point. You also don't need the highchair right away either.

No my girls are 23 months apart. By the time DD was ready for the high chair DD#1 was already in a booster so we didn't need a second one.

nope, my older one had not been in the highchair in a LONG time before #2 came along...I got a space saver high chair for #2 (I had sold the original one we used for miki ti save space when she was done with it)

we bought DD her own booster chair since DS still sits in his at 21 months

Re: BTDT moms that had a newborn and 2 year old

nope, I slowly backed away from the highchair with dd, since I realized I could potentially "strand" her if my younger dd needed me and the older one was stuck in it...so we began doing breakfast without it, then added lunch and left her in it for dinner.....eventually we started letting her do the "big girl chair" for dinner too.....by the time our younger dd needed it, dd was sitted at the table with us!

Re: BTDT moms that had a newborn and 2 year old

No we got a booster that has 4 phases as soon as the baby could use the high chair - so the baby was 4 months old and DD#1 was 18m old. We kept the arms on the booster. Eventually we can take them off but she tipped the chair over once, so get one with the option of arms just in case. She stays strapped in for now too, eventually I think you can use it without the straps but I can't remember.

My MIL gave me theirs that they didn't use with my My DCs' cousin! So although I didn't buy it, I am glad I have them both!
