Right here is every thing we bought for the excessive chair makeover:

These wooden leg wraps within the bamboo shade (I like this shade however in hindsight I could have favored the walnut choice even higher in our house!). These are minimize completely to dimension to suit the Ikea Antilop excessive chair legs.
This wooden footrest within the bamboo shade. The most important draw back we had heard about this excessive chair is that it doesn’t have a footrest, however this one simply attaches and is adjustable as child grows!

In some way I managed to do this and now I don’t even discover the issues (I simply don’t look too shut and put that leg within the again, ha!). After that little mishap I found out my approach, each leg bought simpler, and my final one was PERFECT! Ha!

Anyway, I promise that is a straightforward DIY. Simply watch the instruction video it comes with, take your time and all will likely be nicely.

The footrest is a superb addition. It retains infants in an optimum place for consuming (somewhat than daggling ft!) and it helps preserve them centered on their meal and comfortable of their chair.

The cushion helps to supply help for child’s again and hips and retains them in a secure feeding place. It additionally helps them sit additional ahead so much less meals results in their laps! It’s tremendous simple to wipe down clear.
