    Just wondering at what age do most people stop using highchairs?

    Thanks

    We stopped with high chairs at age 2, used booster seats on dining room chairs until 4 then from 4 on just the regular dining room chair.

    I think this is just one of those things that will vary greatly by child/household. We never used high chairs, just boosters at the table. Stopped strapping them in around 2ish & stopped using them altogether around 3.

    We don't use highchairs either, just booster seats that are attached to our chairs. My DD stopped wanting to sit in her booster around her 2nd birthday. She just sits on a regular chair; sometimes she's up on her knees, other times she just sits and makes do. She refuses a booster or highchair when we go out as well.

    We stopped using the highchairs when they were 18months, we bought the booster seats that strap onto our dining room chairs. Lately we've been having some problems with keeping them in the sitting position when they are in them, they stand up and try to stand on the tray. Sometimes they just enjoy sitting on just the chair like the rest us.

    I used a higherchair on Ty until he was about 4. He was on the small size as it is he uses a step stool for a chair because otherwise the table is at his chest. I plan on using a highchair with the twins until they are 3.

    Joey is 2 and moved to a booster when she was about 19 months so Ellie could take it over. Ellie is now 14 months and I'm getting tired of that darn chair in my kitchen, so we're borrowing a booster that attaches to a chair for her and selling the high chair (I hope) at a garage sale next weekend.
