✅ Wipe-clean plastic surfaces for everyday messes.
✅ Detachable tray - Can be washed separately (even in the dishwasher!).
✅ Silicone placemats from Bobbin and Bumble add an extra non-slip, easy-clean layer to the tray.
With a Bobbin and Bumble silicone placemat, cleaning up after mealtimes is even easier, simply wipe down or pop it in the dishwasher!
4. Can the IKEA high chair be used for travel?
Yes! The IKEA high chair is lightweight and easily disassembled, making it perfect for travel, staycations, and visiting family. Simply pop off the legs, and it’s ready to go. The support cushion being inflatable also means the cushion and covers can be folded up really small.
5. What age range is the IKEA high chair suitable for?
The IKEA high chair is recommended for babies from 6 months (once they can sit up unaided) up to 3 years or 15kg (33 lbs).
To ensure your child’s comfort and proper posture, Bobbin and Bumble’s footrests provide adjustable support as they grow, preventing dangling legs and encouraging better positioning.
6. Is the IKEA high chair adjustable?
The IKEA high chair itself is not adjustable, but Bobbin and Bumble’s accessories are!
✅ Adjustable Footrests - Move up or down to match your child’s height for better posture.
✅ Inflatable Support Cushions - Inflate or deflate to customise support as your baby grows.
These simple customisation options ensure your little one is comfortable and well-supported throughout mealtimes.
7. Do I need a cushion for the high chair?
While the IKEA highchair is designed to be used without a cushion, many parents prefer extra comfort and support - especially for younger/smaller babies.
Bobbin and Bumble offers a range of stylish, easy-to-clean cushion covers that add a personal touch to your high chair while keeping your baby comfortable and supported. Choose from a variety of beautiful prints to match your home!
