I wanted a nice wooden high chair, the sort without a tray that would sit right up at the dining table.  I pictured the four of us sitting together eating dinner without the monstrosity of plastic trays or splayed out high chair legs.  What I didn’t consider was our lack of a table.  Sure, we have one.  It’s surface is folded down and it acts more as a sideboard and dumping ground.  Our chairs aren’t matching wooden ones but folding plastic from Ikea.

Sian fixed us up with a Prince Lionheart bébéPOD plus and although I’m sure she never intended it to be used instead of a high chair, it’s become our solution.

The bébéPOD is a soft and squidgy first seat which has been ergonomically design to help your baby learn to sit.  Like other first seats your baby’s bodyweight helps position them and fix them into the chair.  The bébéPOD comes with a pommel, an adjustable tray, two reusable placemats and a toy which fits into the tray or can be used alone or you can buy the bébéPOD on its own and add the accessories later.

I loved just about everything about the bébéPOD.  It comes in bright colours which I consider essential.  My baby’s a boy, not a gooey little infant to be cooed over; we do bright and bold.  You can adjust the tray so it’s closer or further from your baby depending on size and preference and its surface is smooth so no worries about food or other baby nasties getting stuck on.  It also comes with removable straps in case you want a little extra security.  We’ve removed ours for the moment but as Little Mister gets bigger they’ll go back on, just in case he manages to throw himself over.

But best of all is the toy.  Within hours it had become Mr A’s firm favourite whether on the tray or off.  In fact I’d go as far as to say I would’ve bought the bébéPOD just for the toy.

At £44.95 the bébéPOD plus is a little more expensive than similar products on the market but you get so much more for your money.  I’m going to tell all my baby-parent friends to ditch those other brands and go buy one!
