So the little man is now about to become a slightly larger little man and needs somewhere to sit to eat grown up food now.

We live in a small new build with next to no storage, and looking for some kind of high chair that either folds and tucks under a work surface I put up (max height 88cm) or is rigid and slides under the head end of the dining table and lives there (65cm to apron).

We’ve looked at loads of high chairs in person ranging from £100-£500 (yes you read that right) and between difficult to wash cushions or poor build quality or price or not filling the spec above we’ve not found anything!

Triptrap could fit the bill but is expensive and the necessary add ins soon add up. I did consider making the framework and just buying the attachments but looking at the instructions it fits in a very specific way to the frame that without a reference in front of me it’d be difficult to make a replication to fit.

Also was thinking I could make a stick chair style highchair (recently finished making a Windsor) but that took ~2 months to make (few hours a week) and I don’t have that sort of time.

Anyone have any suggestions for a quality chair that I could buy that’s sturdy and fits the spec or something that’s straightforward to make so I can get it made in a weekend in between daddy daycare duties?

Cheers
 
Probably not a weekend project but the Victorians made some lovely high chairs. With the inclusion of a cunning mechanism, they converted into a low rocking chair.
I think there was on on the Repair Shop if you have iPlayer.
 
if space is tight why not use a clip on high chair it attaches to the table top and its small enough to use anywhere look on ebay
