Toddler seat with straps?

Could anyone recommend a toddler seat that has straps(kind of like the ones they use in nurseries) for my LB for meals. HV suggested to look for one in the hope he eats more at meal times as he just wants to run. He’s too big for a highchair. We don’t have a big table and chairs to attach a seat too. He has his own ...

High chair suggestions

Hello mums, As we are nearing the weaning stage, what are your suggested high chairs, and why you chose it? We’re quite small on storage but also want something sturdy. Ideally wanted something foldable but maybe not anymore. I hear a lot of tripp trapp & catchy, are they worth it? Many thanks, First time mum

Baby items (wanted not needed)

Just for fun! Any items that you’ve been influenced to buy that weren’t necessarily a need but rather than a want/luxury? I am being so influenced to get one of the Najell Sleep Carrier x 🫣 but not sure whether it’s worth the splurge/treat. This is our last baby and I’ve not purchased anything new this time round.

Travel Parent Facing Pram

We are going away in April and again in July and I’m looking for a lightweight cabin pram. I saw the YoYo but it’s not parent facing. Lots of others I’ve seen the back wheels are so big, which is why I liked the compactness of the yoyo 😭 Has anyone got any recommendations please?
