DD is over 4 months now, and although I'm going to wait until ~6 months to start weaning I'd like to be prepared.
I was probably planning to get the ikea highchair everyone recommends, but how large a child will it support? Sorry if that's a silly question! DD is a megababy at 21lbs already and still putting on about 8oz a week. I presume she'll slow down growth at some point, but no idea when! I don't want to buy the antilop if it is only likely to fit an average child until they're 18 months for example, as DD could be that size by 7 or 8 months.
I gather the Tripp Trapp fits until a child is 5, so maybe that'll be better for us? I'm not just looking for an excuse to get something fancy, honest! I did want the fresco bloom until every review ever put me off...
And secondly bibs: are normal bibs any good for weaning or are those whole-torso smocks better? If DD is anything like her mum she's going to be a very messy eater
