Best High Chairs for Twins & Mutiples

My days consist mainly of feeding and diapering two nine month old babies, so I've had a lot of time to think about what's necessary for those twins. For our older daughter, we had a throne style high chair. At $150, we believed that feedings would be.... I don't know? Glamorous? At the very least I thought it would make things easier. Goodness I didn't spend $150 on the chair I use at the dining table.

I was wrong. Wrong in a crusty old food in gross cracks kind of way. (If you are curious, this Chicco Polly high chair was the offender). The thing was the biggest pain in the rear to clean. I once threw the nasty pad in the washing machine on delicate and it came out in shreds. It was $37 to replace the secondary pad! That was disgusting to clean to begin with!

Along came IKEA to the rescue. For a few bucks more than the cost of a replacement pad (to a nasty, space hogging, hard to clean nightmare with 85 moving parts) I bought TWO new high chairs that answered my prayers. The IKEA Antilop High chair.

The chairs are super cheap, ultra portable (bring them to the backyard, toss them in the trunk to bring to grandma's!), and so easy to clean.

There are a few cons that I've been happy to deal with due to all the positives. The warning sticker on the side is a big pain to remove, but with a little elbow grease and some goo-gone it does come off. The tray is also quite a pain to remove. You have to forcibly remove it and I once hit myself in the face while doing so. However, we do not use the trays unless we are eating outside or have company and need the extra table space. We prefer to have the babies be a part of our family meal and the chairs just pull right up to the table.
