    What is the proper age to start feeding them in it. Can I use it for bottle feeding as well?

    I never used them for bottle feeding, but we did start using them between 5 and 6 months to feed them solids. We have two Baby Trend seats at the sitter's house and two evenflo expressions seats at home. I like both kinds, they can adjust up and down and also the seat reclines. The only things I don't like about the BT (and why it went to the sitter's house) is the cushion is machine washable. I thought that was a selling point until I saw how messy babies can be at each meal. Sitter only does lunch and snack so its not a problem there, but I like the vinyl seats on the evenflo because I can wipe it down after breakfast and dinner.

    I never used mine for bottle feeding but I have read other say it was a good way to bottle feed them both at the same time b/c they couldn't get away. I have plain old school graco highchairs that match my car seat and stroller.

    We did not use high chairs for bottle feeding but did start using them once they hit about 5-6 months. We use the Safety 1st 3 stage reclining seat.

    We just bought the graco contempo (with the BRU twins discount). Our babies are 6 months, and we are using it for rice cereal, etc. They have 3 different positions for reclining, and 5 different height adjustments. It folds fairly flat to save space. The seats are vinyl and seem easy to wipe down. We like them.
    We bottle feed them when they finish their cereal. HTH, Beth

    I started using them around 5 months for solids. I had to occasionally give one of them a bottle in there too. I would just recline the seat and voila instant containment.

    You know, I went really basic on the highchair. We got 2 Graco Contempo in the Berkshire (I like paisley and chocolate).
    I was for sure I would go with the Chicco Polly high chair. For every other piece of equipment I was so particular and had to get the best of the best...or what I thought was :)

    I really like these chairs. Simple, easy to use, look pretty nice and conservative in the kitchen. Great chair and cheap.
