Svan high chair stockists in London?

[Greenbank]

Anyone know anywhere that stocks the Svan high chair?

London, ideally SW London (Fulham, Richmond, etc).

Anyone got one and have any comments about it?

Can't point you to a stockist but kiddicare.com appear to have them. We used kiddicare a lot and were impressed with their service and prices.

No experience but the chair looks like the sort of thing that we would have chosen had we been aware of it - appears solid and plenty of adjustment available.

Highchairs: I did a LOT of research and ended up with... the £15 Ikea Antilop.

It is utterly fantastic. Totally easy to clean, packs down reasonably so you can take it in the boot when visiting granny*, can be used with or without a tray, and it just works. And if you find it doesn't, for any reason, you're only £15 down rather thank £quitealot. We decided to test the Antilop before buying something expensive, and we never looked back.

It doesn't turn into a kiddy chair as the child grows, but TBH you don't really need that. I can't recommend it highly enough.


*or splash out on another to leave at granny's.

A word of warning about nice wooden high chairs (we have a tripp trapp that granny insisted on bringing back from Denmark for us - despite me pointing out that there's a stockist in town   which has been lent out between cubs to someone else so has seen over 8 years of continous service) - clean off the sticky weetabix AS SOON as they finish eating or it will set like concrete and your lovely swish chair will forever look slightly manky.  Works brilliantly, just not as easy to clean as plastic

Oh, and another thumbs up for kiddicare from here - we found them really good.

Ta for the comments. We used kiddicare for the 'Travel Solution' (pram/carry-cot/car-seat) and I'd happily use them again, but we're wanting to look at the chair before buying one (it's not exactly cheap) which web stores can't help with.

We've ruled out the Tripp Trapp, just not a fan of it (some siblings have one).

I'll have a look at the Ikea chair. £15 is far more sensible than £180.

I reward your helpful comments with a photo.

By the way, you can get an inflatable pillow-type thing at Ikea (part of the Antilop set, I think) that really helps keep the baby from sliding around in the highchair when they're a bit small. Friends were particularly envious of this as you can deflate it and bring it to restaurants to use in their own highchairs when you're eating out. V useful.

going back umpteen years we had a n nth hand silver cross job that you culd lay down on its front, then poke the seat through and you had a low chair.  Can't find any pics sp probably considered unsafe or something nowadays. eventually it died (not a safety thing, <xxx threw it around which it wasn't designed for).  We replaced it with a plastic thing that you tie onto a normal chair (not this but similar) and can take with you.

I always thought these clip on jobs looked like a good idea but never used one

Went for the Svan from Kiddicare.com, they had one in blackespresso and green for £135. Bargain (bearing in mind it will fit her for years).
