How does my baby sit correctly in the IKEA highchair?
Many parents have changed their baby's highchair positioning and have noticed a big improvement when eating. An ideal sitting position on the highchair is characterised by a 90-degree angle at the hips, knees and ankles. With the ANTILOP highchair accessories, you can modify your child's baby chair to promote great stability and sitting dynamics.
- Make sure that your child does not lean to one side. If it does, you should use a seat reducer. These are available from Möbelschweden to fit the IKEA highchair. Alternatively, you can also fold a towel or similar accordingly.
- Remember that your child should be able to sit on the floor independently before highchair. Your baby does not have to be able to sit in this position for long. A little extra support can help them to feel comfortable.
- Make sure that your highchair has a footrest that reaches up to your baby's feet. The best option is a height-adjustable footrest that you can flexibly adjust to your child's height.
- The tray of the IKEA highchair should be at the right height for your baby so that they can easily reach their food. If your baby is still too small and cannot reach the tray properly, you can simply place a small cushion or a folded towel under your baby. This way, your baby sits higher in the IKEA highchair and can reach the tray more easily.

Is the IKEA highchair safe?
- In July 2018, Stiftung Warentest tested children's highchairs. According to the test report, the IKEA ANTILOP highchair scored top marks in the categories of safety, harmful substances and durability.
- IKEA writes on its own website: "We always orientate ourselves on the strictest guidelines of the respective region and ensure that ANTILOP fulfils them all through regular quality and safety tests. If a new law or standard is introduced, we test the chair again. All in all, ANTILOP proves that it is absolutely right to think differently when designing furniture." According to IKEA, ANTILOP meets the requirements of EN 14988:2017 of the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN).
Why should I use the IKEA ANTILOP with safety belt?
Older children like to stand up in their highchair. However, this can be dangerous, as children in the IKEA ANTILOP highchair do not have the option of simply getting out of the chair as they would in a high chair with stairs. All highchairs with a similar design have this problem, including other conventional folding highchairs. It is therefore particularly important that you always fasten your child in the chair using the safety belt. Even older children! As children become more mobile and can do more on their own, our confidence in their abilities also grows. This is generally a good thing. With a high chair for stairs, you might eventually remove the harness so that your child can climb in themselves. However, you should not do this with this model. Make sure you use the IKEA ANTILOP safety harness!
Still not sure? Then simply test the highchair in a child-friendly restaurant. These chairs are often used there. They are easy to clean and robust.
