ANTILOP is the cheapest way to get a safe, easy-to-clean high chair. IKEA sells it with the tray for $24.99, and it is built from a polypropylene seat shell and tray on steel legs, with no fabric or seams to trap food. IKEA's care instructions are short: wipe clean with a mild soapy solution and dry with a cloth. A safety belt is included, and IKEA says the chair is tested to ASTM F404 for domestic and non-domestic use. The limits are the trade-off. It is for children who can sit up unaided, up to 3 years or 33 lbs, and IKEA lists no height adjustment or footrest, so it does not grow with the child in the way the wooden chairs do. A supporting cushion costs $9.99 extra. It averaged 4.7 out of 5 from 547 reviews on ikea.com when we checked. For a second chair at grandma's house it is hard to beat.
