Speaking of messy; how much do other people worry about the hygiene in pubs and cafes when using high chairs? Pudding likes to chew the straps sometimes to get a bit of extra goodnes, but sometimes they are absolutely rank and grey. I always give the tray a good wiping first and examine the seat for lumps of festering stuff left by previous occupants, but the webbing on the straps seems designed to hold mashed in food. Should I just not worry? God knows I harbour germs galore in my own hovel.
