When to ditch the high chair?

[~Karen~]

Lewis is still in high chair at home but that's because I generally feed them in the kitchen and we only have two bars stools that the older two use.  If we all sit at table or eat out he just sits on chair.

Goodness, I must have been lax on this one. Mine came out of HC at about 18 mths, but I had those wooden ones that converted into kids seats (but they were obviously free to escape!).

Both sit/ kneel on normal chairs now. I think from about age 2.

I HATE cleaning high chairs - I would much rather deal with the kids standing or putting feet on tables  .

Sorry I haven't read all the replies but we got a wooden bar stool (with back) from a charity shop and DH shaved the bottom of the legs so it's table height

L was on a normal chair from around 14 months - just refused the high chair I think it was around the time he moved from high chair to regular kiddie chair at low table at daycare. He still goes in a high chair when we go out because he thinks its a special treat. He even straps himself in!
