just wanted to let other parents know that there is such a thing!

we found it today in our local camping store and apparantly they are new out in the last year.

not cheap at nearly £40 but worth it as it is well made and very stable, we tried it out with our large 2.5 year old and he was not amused! he couldnt escape and had plenty of growing room.

we wouldnt have got it if we didnt have ds 2 on the way as its only going to last ds1 this season but will do another 3 years for ds2.

they are made by kampa and fold in half so not exactly compact but much better than everything else we have tried in the last 2 years.

for that price i would use the first one we had http://www.mothercare.com/Cosatto-Move-highchair-Fruits-Forest/dp/B0030SQL5W/sr=1-23/qid=1269205733/ref=sr_1_23/276-0116293-2710067?_encoding=UTF8&m=A2LBKNDJ2KZUGQ&n=42862041&mcb=core

this folds really small and slips behind the car seats. used all the time at home.

and what we have moved on to is even better (imo) http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/00069725

this one has removable legs, and is dishwasher proof, can be packed amongst the clothes !! and is DEFINATELY worth the price!!!

thanks tina,

unfortunatly a normal size highchair wont fit in our caravan, we have tried various different ones that belong to friends and they wont fit in, or are very tight and risk rubbing against the bench seats.

the best we could do was a booster seat balanced on one of the benches , but as soon as ds was done he would just flip over and crawl off with chair attached!

this one could definatly be used at home as well, in fact nanny and grandad have their eye on it for when we are not away.

ooops...sorry didnt realise you were in a 'van!

in that case it is fab! lol!!!

i think the ikea one and the mothercare one both take up the same amount of ground room! but are perfect for us in the tent.

It's a shame the Ikea chair won't work for you - they really are fab.

We bought one to try out with our first daughter, half expecting to have to replace it with a more expensive one in time - we ended up loving it!  It is now on child # 3 and is pretty much still like new.
