I was in the same boat… the mess from BLW was giving me anxiety and I was dreading feeding times. I was gifted a high chair from my baby shower and it was a nightmare to clean. I recently purchased the mockingbird high chair and I LOVE it. It's a game changer for me. It's easy to clean, the tray is dishwasher safe and the straps just wipe clean. You will not regret that chair.
"LOVE it," "game changer." Switched from a nightmare chair. Specific features: dishwasher-safe tray, wipeable straps.
We have a mockingbird and love it SO much. It ticks all the boxes- ergonomic, will grow with baby, also has a smaller footprint and is nice to look at. Most importantly, it's very easy to clean. The straps are silicone and the entire thing can be washed off and dried quickly. We are very happy with it.
"Love it SO much." Lists specific benefits: ergonomic, grows with baby, small footprint, silicone straps, easy wash.
We have the Mockingbird high chair and LOVE it. So easy and it converts to just a toddler seat when they're older. Well worth it!!!! My friends have the Tripp Trapp and have already stopped using it with their 11 mo.
"LOVE it," "well worth it." Specific: converts to toddler seat. Contrasts with friends who stopped using Tripp Trapp at 11 months.
I bought the mockingbird high chair after having a cheapy one off amazon that was so hard to clean. Mockingbird one is a bit pricey but not as bad as tripp trapp. The straps are silicone too which was a HUGE selling point to me. Ive been extremely happy with our purchase!
Switched from a hard-to-clean chair. "Extremely happy." Key feature: silicone straps. Compares price favorably to Tripp Trapp.
I did some research and ended up getting the mockingbird. The mockingbird fits perfectly in my round dining room for 4, made it for 5 :) and the tray is very easy to clean (liner goes into the dish washer), it looks like a dupe of the stokke and all you need the stokke for, it has.
"Fits perfectly," specific room context (dining room for 4→5). Tray liner is dishwasher safe. Calls it a Stokke dupe with all the same benefits.
I have worked in childcare for 24 years and Mockingbird is the best highchair I have ever used. Like most baby products it is not perfect and for me there are two cons and one is a deal breaker for BLW families. First the backrest is not flush because the safety straps are attached to a big plastic plate that protrudes into the seat at the spine. The bigger con is the size and shape of the foot rest.
24 years childcare experience, "best highchair I have ever used." But notes 2 cons: backrest protrusion and footrest shape. Professional endorsement with caveats.
I hate this chair. So disappointed in something they specifically advertised that this chair had: no crevices or difficult to reach cracks that get dirty. The bottom of the main tray has so many cracks & screws that it if you do any type of mashed food, it's guaranteed to get in there. Easy to clean is a downright lie. We had to return it.
"Hate this chair," returned it. Specific complaint: tray bottom has cracks/screws that trap mashed food despite marketing claims.
