    Theres a blender in lidl for 25. We have a very fussy 2 year old that will not eat any fruit. (Pretty sure its the texture) but love love loves fruit pots. The blender we had you had to chop up the fruit pretty small and took ages but this yoke is the buisness. Had 25 fruit pots done in bout 15 mins. Will be great when weaning new baba too

    To whoever spotted the great price on the Hauck Alpha highchair - thank you! With parcel motel delivery, it worked out at €48, nearly a quarter the price of our Tripp Trapp.

    Julia Donaldson and Gruffalo fans .

    Amazon have a 3 book set for just £2.90 and included in the free super saver delivery.

    Would make a great present.

    Anyone know when the cheeky bot nappies will be back on sale in tesco? Have seen them go to €28 a couple of times but last year they went down to €10 a box (a month supply).

    This was a mistake they were meant to be reduced by €10 but the system reduced them to €10. Tesco ran the offer for the set duration but we are unlikely to see it again.

    I can't decide whether to buy this or not. I originally wanted a tripp trapp but couldnt justify the money. Lil guy is currently in a proper high chair which i'll continue to use for a bit longer as the support is great and he plays for a few mins when i prep dinner etc. I have a borrowed booster seat for him to move into next. Convince me that I need the hauck chair (because I really want it but husband thinks it's completely unecessary!:o)


  • Registered Users Posts: 301 ✭✭Nicky987


    O really? I have managed to pick them up for €10 on two different sale occasions throughout last year?

    I want a Tripp trapp I am going get a Tripp trapp not one that is a "copy". I know there is a big price difference but honestly you will have it literally 40 years! This trapps are around €255 for everything but I don't think I want the cushion so maybe they will knock a few €€ off? Stokke have a new high chair have you seen it? It's called "steps"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,818 ✭✭✭jlm29


    I have a Tripp trapp, and the reason I love it so much is that they're so much cleaner than other high chairs. Before the trip trap, I had a mamas and papas one, and cleaning food out of the nooks and crannys was next to impossible. When I took the cover off it, to give it a final clean before we put it away, I was horrified at how much dirt I had missed!!! The Hauck one looks almost identical, I don't know would I fork out 250+ for a Tripp trapp after seeing it. The only reason i might, is that if I was having another baby, the newborn set for the Tripp trapp looks ideal- but again, not cheap!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,035 ✭✭✭yellow hen


    I actually dont mind cleaning the regular high chair and I like the support he has to sit back into it and play with a toy. If you had a booster seat already, would you still get the wooden highchair?

    I probably wouldn't really. The only reason I got a Tripp trapp in the first place, was that my little dude figured out that if he stuck his toe on the button under the table, and gave a good push, he could get the table off his high chair, and thought it was great Craic to land everything onto the floor...
    The chairs in our kitchen wouldn't have taken a booster seat, so I splashed out! He's two and a half now, and I still have the baby set and straps on it. I'd say it'll be there til he's at least 3. After that he'll still get a good while out of the chair, if he'll still sit in it!- if he doesn't, by then, he should really be able to sit in a normal chair anyhow, just not as comfortably!
    I suppose it depends on how long you would think you'll get out of a booster

    Funny, when you say he might be in it until he's 3, I'm kind of convincing myself to get it. He's our first baby so I'm hoping there'll be at least one more to come which means the highchair will be in use at the same time. Also, the booster seat wouldn't be the most comfortable thing for permanent use. More of transporting around to granny's etc.

    The cleaning is the reason I want the tripp trapp. I presume you put the harness in the washing machine? I really am not into copies in general tbh, granted I have never seen the hauck one or any or the other copies in the flesh. My mum could never understand why I paid €250 for my ugg boots but 2 years later they were still perfect! The same went for my bugaboo until she pushed it :)

    Probably un-necessary, dn I'm pretty sure my wife would agree.
    To avoid this discussion I just ordered it this morning without asking :D Hopefully we get some use out of it

    We'll be having a third birthday in November- and will definitely be using it until then!! And that's with the baby set- so it'll be used as a chair well after that. If I was in your position, I'd probably buy the Hauck! It seems like good value, and the reviews online are great

    I do throw the harness in the washing machine (I think- it's been a while!). I actually find that because the straps sit quite high, they don't get as dirty.

    Does the harness come off easily or does chair have to be dismantled?

    Further reductions in m&s sale. I found Instore better than online. They have some lovely little girl outfits for €8.50 and boy dungarees for €12 which are not online. Dundrum has lots of sizes left :)

Aldi have reduced their tommee tippee timpee spoons 6 for €1.49 (6 months plus). Dunnes also have half price tubs of cow and gate puréed fruit and rice (4 months +) €1.12.

    Very handy, thanks!!

    I got the weaning portion trays, eight individual portion cups with lids that fit into a tray, only 4.99, exactly like the clevamama ones. Really handy for freezing baby food.

    Are they the tesco own brand ones? I had coupons that tesco sent me for the muilipa so bought it today even though it's 8months+! I would recommend everyone to sign up the tesco baby club! Got a €1.50 off any pampers coupon, so I will be saving it for when they are BOGOF! Also got a free Ella's kitchen banana flavour with my coupons too! I got 4 bowls with lids in dealz €1.49 and got a milk powder travel dispenser for €1.49 too! It looks exactly like the avent one!

    For anyone buying SMA tins, they brought out a new tin and of course its still 900g but its €11.99 in Tesco, they are on offer for €10 in Dunnes.

    Time to stock up.

    Other stores will no doubt follow when the older tins sell out.

    Do you know if that includes the one for the first six months ...? I assume not. :(

    Smyths have 10% off today.

    Their Angelcare movement monitor is reduced to 84.99, with the extra 10% off that's €76. nearly €40 off rrp. Dont have one myself but if I'd seen one at that price I'd definitely have gotten it!

    No the red and yellow tin were normal price, but still cheaper than the new tin!
