Basic Plastic45% moms chose this path
Buying the cheap, easy-to-clean IKEA Antilop and adding a footrest.
Suits value-conscious Moms who want something lightweight that can be hosed down easily. You will likely need to buy an aftermarket footrest from Shopee for proper posture.

Got the IKEA one because everyone recommended it. Super easy to wipe down after messy meals, just bought a Shopee footrest.
Adjustable Recliners25% moms chose this path
Investing in a padded chair that tilts back for younger babies.
Suits Moms starting solids early or wanting to keep baby nearby during family meals. The plush padding is comfortable but requires more effort to wipe down after messy purees.

Bought a Joie Multiply since he cannot sit up fully yet. The recline is great, but washing the seat cover is quite tiring.
Portable Boosters15% moms chose this path
Strapping a compact seat to your existing dining chair to save space.
Suits families in smaller condos or those who frequently eat out at local kopitiams. It saves floor space but might not contain a very active toddler as they grow.

We use a Fisher-Price booster strapped to our dining chair. Saves so much space in our small condo and easy to bring out.
Wooden Ergonomic5% moms chose this path
Wooden Ergonomic — Choosing a premium adjustable wooden chair that grows with your child.
Suits high-budget Moms who prioritise aesthetics and long-term ergonomic support for their child. It is a heavy investment upfront but lasts well into their primary school years.

Splurged on the Stokke Tripp Trapp. It looks beautiful in the dining room and supports her posture perfectly, though it was very expensive.

Expert guidance

An upright, supportive seat is crucial when starting solids to prevent choking risks. While KKM recommends complementary feeding at six months, parents practically choose between easy-to-clean plastic seats, padded recliners, portable boosters, or adjustable wooden chairs. What matters most is selecting a stable chair with a secure harness that supports a 90-degree seating posture.
