I can't really compare to other models since this is the only one I have but I'm really glad I didn't get the stokke because having a big tray that is easy to clean is really important. It's very easy to pull the tray on and off and the whole thing is easy to clean. Once she is bigger, we can remove the tray and just pull it up to the table. Highly recommend.Mrs. Limestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159249562273770481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-72280795304815529092014-01-18T09:13:27.157-05:002014-01-18T09:13:27.157-05:00I wanted to see if you were happy with your high c...I wanted to see if you were happy with your high chair choice. I love the oxo chair but can't get myself to pull the trigger. If it really can grow with my son awhile, I think it would be a great purchase, but I wonder how long he really will use it.

Plus, when they get bigger they can drag it around like a stuffed animal. My son has the monkey and we get comments all of the time. I can't count how many times he fell over without a crying mess.

I ha...So glad you got the Oxo chair, we love ours <br /><br />I had the same issue with play mats, just didn't want our small space to look like a daycare. Instead we got a padded foam rug pad and put our rug over it. Came in handy under the living room rug as our daughter was learning to walk and now that she is more active and is trying to climb up on the sofa. We recently got one for her room too. <br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005PJAKAG/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1<br /><br />Mel FUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01911571507524958470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-45177741319119559002013-06-06T09:11:56.137-04:002013-06-06T09:11:56.137-04:00We have a similar playmat by Skip Hop and it is mo...We have a similar playmat by Skip Hop and it is more trouble than it's worth. Like another commenter said, it is easily damaged (ours has bite marks). It is also not very practical to put away and set up because there are so many pieces.<br /><br />Personally, I would rate a playmat as an unnecessary baby item and suggest using a blanket or soft rug.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16573985384928318139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-91456252281478872442013-06-06T01:12:00.471-04:002013-06-06T01:12:00.471-04:00Totally agree....

Our guy is 7 months on Friday and while he's not officially crawling, he's moving and the mat isn't really working very well anymore. If you really want one though, consider an exercise mat. If I had wood floors, I'd do an easy clean rug (so that you can wipe up all the spit up easily!)ALR Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08544976406954127278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-37875801242609249412013-06-05T14:27:26.999-04:002013-06-05T14:27:26.999-04:00We finally wised up with our third child and took ...We finally wised up with our third child and took a nice "new" twin quilt we got at Land of Nod and would fold it into quarters, the colors loooked better and less baby explosionish .... we could flip it and fold differently a few times, then throw it in the wash. As he got bigger and more mobile we could unfold it to expand his little world. THEN, when he out grew it, we just threw it at the foot of his bed...He still has it and he is 12...it is sweet and faded and reminds me of my baby.

PLUS once Agatha starts crawling, good luck getting her to stay on the mat :-)<br /><br />That said, my 2 cents is that if you do want a mat like that, get the Skip Hop one. As much as we don't want to mess with our homes, kids really do like bright colours and since this is a temporary item, just get something that works and that maybe will be attractive to your little girl. <br /><br />(as an aside, I've tried to stay away from bright plastic toys in favour of nice wooden stuff, and as soon as Luca comes within 25 feet of something bright and plastic, he BEELINES for it.

Our cat left claw marks in it and when I walked on it wearing heels, little indentations were left behind that never went away. I know it's more expensive, but if I had to choose again, I would get a cushy rug and mat. That way, you can choose whatever style you like!
