I second the choice of an ikea highchair, although I don't use a tray, I prefer F to join in at the table with the rest of us - he has 2 big brothers and a sister and is lovely to watch him join in and gabble n gobble away. Some does go on the floor/in our labrador but a good pelican bib helps! When we are on our own *health and safety alert* I have been known to put his bumbo seat on the sofa - both sofa (leather) and floor (laminate) being wipe clean is essential!
