Do toddler like sitting in the baby chair  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people 4 years ago

Sometimes we are having our meal in the restaurant together with our kids. Almost every restaurant here we could find baby chairs available there for the convenience of the customers who are bringing their children along.

Some parents let their toddlers to sit in the baby chair and let them enjoy eating food themselves whereas the others let their toddlers to sit on their laps and feed the toddlers in the meantime. Occasionally I found toddler crying while sitting in the baby chair and parents tried to pleased him with iced soft drinks.

When my kid was still an infant I preferred to let him learning to eat by himself sitting in the baby chair unless the chair looked disgusting and dirty.

Please kindly share your views here.

it's a good idea to let toddlers sit on a baby chair. it's a sort of training for them and i also find it cute seeing little kids playing with their food while they're on it ^_^

i think some toddlers cry because they're not used to sitting alone...my sister, when she was a kid had that same problem which she overcame later on =)


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Hi janni, I think this is the best time to train the toddler to eat by itself in the public. Mostly those timid or over cared toddlers refuse to sit alone in the baby chair. I like watching the small kid patting vigorously with its lovely hands on the front board of the baby chair and kicking its legs in the meantime once it has seated down.

Yeah, I agree that some kids cry because they feel strange to sit alone in the unfamiliar chair. lol we might have done the same thing during our childhood, who knows? Take care and happy posting.

I used to put my daughter in the child chair also and let them eat by themselves unless the chair was dirty also. I would not let them make a mess though. If my child did accidentally make a mess in the chair, we would clean it up ourselves because the restaurant did not make sure to clean it up for the next child to cit in.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Hi stephcjh, you are really a caring person. I appreciate you as you are so kind to tidy up the chair in case it is dirtied by your child accidentally. I do like to do the same as you to take good care of the public baby chair so that other customers could enjoy the facility provided by the restaurant.
Good luck and happy posting.

i have a niece in family. actually she was not very comfortable sitting in the bay chair. ratjer she liked to sit on lap or other regular chaitr with us, she also tried taking food like us using the spoons. it helped her as she learned to take hotel food from very early age.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Haha ...subha, it is interesting to know that sometimes your niece seems like she is big enough to sit on the regular chair to take food by herself. I am afraid that her height might make her difficult to reach the table surface. So I believe you have piled up two or three chair for your niece so that she is in level with the table surface. Good luck and happy posting.

hi ikbooi, my baby now is learning to set the baby chair and she likes it..coz she likes going outside..


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Hi marketing, your baby girl might look sweetly cute sitting in the baby chair enjoying her food. I am glad to know that your adorable baby girl is able and happy as well to adapt herself to part of the social life at such a young age. Yeah, proper exposure to society can help child’s development healthily.
Take care and happy posting.

Hi lkbooi, when I go to resaurants, I enjoy seeing a couple with kids seated on baby chairs and having fun with their meals. I even feel like getting pregnant the very moment and be in such a scenerio. When I see a kid crying simply because they are seated on baby chair and not on mum's lap then I feel bad. I dont like seeing a baby cry and also I dont like seeing mother burdened with a big baby on her lap, struggling to feed them and her food getting cold on the side. We should train our kids to do things on their own. If the first time you put baby there and it cries try and insist baby sits there, or else it will repeat itself over and over.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

It is really a warm and pleasant scene to see an intimate couple with lovely kids seated in the baby chairs having meal in the restaurant. I hope you always have chance, or once in a year, to see such admired moment in the restaurant then I would have opportunity to see many lovely little kwengeS and one or two sitting in the baby chairs in the restaurant if I visit Kenya one day. lol

It is really annoying to see kids crying and want their mom to feed them in the restaurant. Yeah, toddlers should be trained to take food by their own selves and cultivate with other good habits as well at anytime. Happy posting and have a nice day.


myLot reputation of 96/100. kwenge (1348)   ranked 1,416 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Ikbooi, you never cease to amaze me dear friend, welcome to Kenya.......I am planning to have two or 3 'kwengeS' as you have called them. I admire couples with desciplined kids having a good time. I pitty those with naughty and rude kids. Kids should be trained from a very young age on how to behave. I pray that mine turn out right. I cant entertain brats.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Hi kwenge, just now my hubby rushed to the door side of the bedroom to see why I keep on laughing. Hi dear, it is always full of joy to read your comment. I imagine that there are three little kwengeS running around and having fun with my dear kwenge, I couldn’t help laughing again. But I believe these adorable kids are well disciplined as they have a good and caring mom. I pray you would never see those naughty and rude kids but lovely and obedient ones who sit properly in the baby chairs and enjoy their food.
Good luck and happy always.


myLot reputation of 96/100. kwenge (1348)   ranked 1,416 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Heheheeeeeeee, thanks for your response dear. Was just wondering how many lkbooiS do you have! Are they nice or naughty? Thanks for your compliments.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Haha ..... your response is very much welcome kwenge. It’s rather sad that I have only one lkbooi so the letter S is totally meaningless to me at present. I couldn’t wait anymore longer. I think I would better to adopt one as fast as possible to make it to be lkbooiS.

You are most welcome my dear. Take good care of your kwengeS and I love them as well, and let the youngest one to sit in the baby chair when having meal in the restaurant.
happy happy posting and always lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. kwenge (1348)   ranked 1,416 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Hey lkbooi, its good to hear that product lkbooi is already out.....sad to say that my product kwengeS are not out yet. Infact we are planing to have one so the 3 i was talking about are only in my dreams or future provisions. I meant that am planning to have 3 kids. We just married last month dear. Say hi to lkbooi junior and your whatshisname! heheheeee.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

I am very glad to know that you had married last month. Congratulations my dear. I hope that your dream of having three lovely kids would be materialized in time to come. Well, it is nice to have one kid first. Hey, romantic music, soft light, pleasant atmosphere, red wine and sexy pajamas play important role in this aspect. So ....

depending on their age..if the baby can sit already then why not letting them sit a baby chair especially when eating in a restaurant..its comfortable in the part of the parents and the baby as well..


myLot reputation of 85/100. Jakesnake1978 (1186)   ranked 4,003 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

I would tell you that when babies start to grow and learn about behaviors, they would not need baby chairs at all anymore. So parents are still responsible for the safety for the children especially when they are at restaurants or wherever. It is really important always that children learn great stuff.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

You are right vanities, it is the best way to train the child who can sit properly to be seated in the baby chair, so both the parents and kid can enjoy eating food more relaxingly and comfortably in the restaurant. If there is no vacant baby chair I would stack up two or three chairs to make the seat higher for my small kid. Then he can easily reach the food on the dinner table.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Hi Jakesnake, as we know, baby chair is purposely designed for the safety of the toddlers in the convenience of the parents as well. Of course parents still have to take care of the toddlers as usual, but not too absorbed in enjoying food only.

Yeah, when the kid is old enough to take care of himself and could sit properly on the ordinary chair then he is not necessary to sit in the baby chair anymore. Happy posting and have a nice day.

Kids are cute and I enjoy looking at them in the restaurant. But I doubt they like to sit on the baby chair. It's quite restricting, and toddlers like to move or crawl around. But for the conveniences of parents, they should be seated properly in such a chair. lol If I have my own child, I will make sure that the baby chair is stable enough and as what you said, it's clean enough. I think my parents used to put me in a baby chair when they are having meals in the restaurants.lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

When my kid was still a toddler, haha ... he finished eating his food very fast in the baby chair. Then he would feel uneasy to stay in the restricted chair anymore and made noise to attract our attention to allow him to be released. My husband and I would take turn to carry him and didn’t allow him to move around as it was not polite and hygienic to let a kid moving or crawling around in the restaurant. What’s more he was still an early toddler.

From your words I understand that you are the person who loves and always takes good care of kids. I believe you would love and take good care of your kids very much if you have your own in time to come.
Take care and happy posting.


myLot reputation of 94/100. cheongyc (2348)   ranked 244 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Well you kid must be very energetic and do not like to be in a restricted space. Besides, I can see that both of you care about your kid very much and have a lot of patience when trying to keep him in his baby chair. I will take good care of my kid equally in future, that's if I am going to have kid lol You are most welcome and have a nice day too!


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Nowadays it seems that most of the kids are tending to be very energetic and couldn’t sit still even for a couple of minutes. I think one of the reason might be they are too well fed lol..... I was told that kid taking too much sweeties is usually very active and restless. So it is quite difficult to take care of them as the parents have to run wild chasing after them hahaha.....
Happy posting and enjoy your sweet night.


myLot reputation of 94/100. cheongyc (2348)   ranked 244 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

You are right. I observed that too. Many kids nowadays are having too over-nutritious food and thus being plagued by obesity. I think the parents should be wary about this and taking extra care on their kid's diet. In fact, not only the children, we grown-up need to avoid taking sweet food and those with high cholesterol as well.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Haha ... during my kid’s childhood I did like him to take more nutritious food as my mother in law always complained that I was not good in taking care of her grandson. She always envied those who were plump. She always praised them that they looked cute and lovely. Luckily that my son didn’t enjoy to take extra food. He always felt reluctant to take food anymore when his stomach was full except egg and ice cream. I had read an article before about the age of people who have high cholesterol tend to be younger. The youngest among them is, children only at the age of 12. They are kids who like eating snacks while watching tv but hate exercise.


myLot reputation of 94/100. cheongyc (2348)   ranked 244 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

I was skinny when I was kid too. I do not have appetite especially during lunch. My mum bought me some chinese medicine in tablets format. Those are herbs and do not have side effect. After taking those remedy for some time, my appetite become better. Ever since after secondary school, I become a glutton and able to eat a lot. That's why after 25, I become so plump LoL!


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Here I would like to share with you an interesting memorable event about my nephew. When he was a toddler he was over cared by my elder brother and sister in law. When having meal in the restaurant he always tried to stand up in the baby chair to play with the dishes which were near to him his spoon. “Sit down” I purposely utter this out with a stern voice. He then would sit down silently. After several times he knew that I was not actually that serious as he thought, so he never bothered me again. How smart a little toddler was. The only thing we could do was to push the dishes away from him lol

Like you, we always let the child sit in a high chair from the time that they were able to do so. I have felt it best to get them trained in things as soon as possible.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Hi jer, you are right. This is the best way to educate our kids. When they are old enough to do certain things we must encourage and allow them to try out their effort and gain their own experience. Take care and good luck.

I believe as long as parents are out together in a restaurant having a meal and a baby chair is provided ,at the eating establishment then the infant should be in it.Once it is clean and hygenic it also provided some piece of mind and aids in conversion,without having to much time to feed baby.The first time my son cried so much ,in a baby chair in a restaurant, However the hostess was very gracious and patient. In a few minutes I almost felt like Matthew was somewhere else,instead of with his parents .


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

Very often the kid feels reluctant to sit in a baby chair in the restaurant at the first time. So it was normal that your son cried at his first attempt. You were so lucky that you happened to meet such a gracious and patient hostess that saved you a lot of trouble in solving the child’s problem. thumbup I think she deserved high praise and good tips as well. lol
Good luck and happy posting.

Both of my children used high chairs. I never even thought to put them on my lap to eat. They never fussed while in their chairs. They were very content to sit there and eat, well eat some and mess a lot!


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 14 out of 26,919 in people  4 years ago

You are really a good mom as you have trained your kids to be well disciplined sitting in the chair when having meal in the restaurant. I believe you and your kids always feel pleasant and comfortable enjoy eating food there. It is quite normal that kids would leave messy food on there. They would abandon this bad habit when they have grown up. Take care and happy posting.
