Highchair age/size question
When did you start using a highchair with your DC.
AJ is 4 months and is starting cereal next week. What should I put him in to feed him. His bouncy seat, his highchair, my lap?
How do I know if it is safe to put him in the highchair yet. I have the fisher-price rain forest one, if that makes a difference.

I started with cereal in DDs bouncer seat and switched her to the highchair at about 6 mths.

Re: Highchair age/size question
We didn't put DD in hers until around 5 months, when we started cereal. I guess it depends on his neck control, and if he seems comfy in the highchair. DD didn't seem comfy in hers until around 5 months.

my ds will be six months this week and hopefully we'll start some foods. i've just put the highchair up a couple of weeks ago to try to get him used to it. he seems to be ok with it.

Re: Highchair age/size question
DD started cereal 2 days ago and we feed her in the bouncy seat. It is very messy, so I like that we can just take the cover off the bouncy seat and toss it in the washer as needed.

ITA agree. It depends on the child. My DS sat it the highchair before 5 months , but I am not sure he would have been comfortable eating in it. We started cereal a couple of weeks ago at 5 months and he is now very comfortable eating in it.

Re: Highchair age/size question
We started using the highchair (and we have the rainforest one too) around 4 months. We started cereal and it was a mess holding him on my lap and he hated the bebe pod so we used the high chair on the recline position.

Re: Highchair age/size question
We sat Ava in the high chair at about 3 months, so that she could enjoy our company at dinner. The seat back reclined and had a head rest.

Re: Highchair age/size question
The rainforest high chair reclines so that he does not have to fully sit up. Try it.

Re: Highchair age/size question
You can definitely put him in the highchair now..my highchair is wood and doesnt recline so we waited until 5 months. He can sit in it well but he gets uncomfortable after awhile..we use the bouncey seat too only I prop it up so he doesnt recline so much.

That is true. I forgot about the recline. My high chair reclines too. Good point.

Re: Highchair age/size question
WE have the same HC and DS loves it. DH put it together because DS likes to sit with us while we cook and eat. SO now every night DS sits in there for about 30 mins watching the rainforest toy, or if we have the kitchen tv on, or even the lights and he kicks , "talks", laughs and is so happy.
He hasnt even started cereal yet and we use it! I thought DH was nuts to put it together, but he was right Chris loves it!
