My 8-month-old has been absolutely smashing his food since we popped the highchair footrest on!"
Better Posture, Better Eating
When little feet have somewhere to rest, babies sit properly and focus on eating instead of squirming. Proper 90-degree positioning is what therapists recommend for safe, effective feeding.
Less Squirming, More Eating
Dangling feet cause fidgeting - it's uncomfortable and distracting. Give those tiny feet a solid place to rest and watch mealtime focus improve instantly.
Grows With Your Child
Adjustable height means this footrest works from first solids at 6 months through active toddlerhood. One purchase that lasts through every feeding stage.
Beautiful Wood Upgrade
Transform your basic IKEA Antilop into something you're proud to display. Four gorgeous wood finishes complement any dining room decor.
Why Little Feet Need Support
Have you noticed your baby squirming, kicking, or struggling to focus during meals? There's a reason - and it's not bad behaviour. When little feet dangle without support, babies can't sit comfortably or concentrate on eating. It's like trying to focus at a desk where your feet don't touch the floor.
The Little Puku IKEA Highchair Footrest transforms your IKEA Antilop into an ergonomically correct eating station. By giving tiny feet a solid place to rest, your baby can sit with proper 90-degree hip and knee positioning - exactly what pediatric occupational therapists recommend for better eating habits.
Better Posture, Better Eating
What Makes It Different:
-
Reduces Squirming Instantly: When feet have somewhere to rest, babies stop kicking and fidgeting. They can actually focus on the important business of eating (and making magnificent messes).
-
Promotes Proper Posture: Creates the ideal 90-degree angle at hips and knees that occupational therapists recommend for optimal feeding position. Good posture means better swallowing, less choking risk, and more confident self-feeding.
-
Grows With Your Child: Adjustable height means this footrest works from when your baby first starts solids (around 6 months) all the way through toddlerhood. One purchase, years of use.
-
Beautiful Wood Upgrade: Turn your basic plastic highchair into something you're proud to have in your dining room. Choose from four gorgeous wood finishes that complement any decor.

Perfect For:
-
Starting Solids (6+ months): Give your baby the stable foundation they need when first learning to eat. Proper foot support helps develop core strength and eating skills.
-
Self-Feeding Transition: When babies start using spoons and fingers, good posture makes the learning process easier (and less messy). Supported feet = steadier hands.
-
Toddler Mealtimes: Even active toddlers benefit from foot support. It helps them stay seated longer and reduces the "I want down!" dance that interrupts every meal.
-
Gift Giving: Thoughtful baby shower or new parent gift. Pairs perfectly with our leg wraps, placemats, and cushion covers for a complete IKEA Antilop transformation (check our bundles for savings!).

Q: Will this footrest fit my IKEA Antilop highchair?
A: Yes, absolutely! This footrest is custom-designed specifically for the IKEA Antilop highchair. It slides onto the existing legs without any tools or modifications needed. It works with or without our leg wraps installed.
Q: How do I adjust the height of the footrest?
A: The footrest simply slides up or down on the Antilop legs to your desired height. No tools required - just position it where your child's feet rest comfortably at a 90-degree angle at the knees. Most parents adjust it every few months as their child grows.
Q: At what age can my baby start using this footrest?
A: Most babies benefit from a footrest as soon as they start solids (around 6 months), though some parents wait until their baby can sit more independently. The adjustable height means it grows with your child through toddlerhood - typically until they're ready for a regular chair.
Q: Why does foot support matter for eating?
A: When feet dangle without support, babies can't achieve the 90-90-90 position (90-degree angles at hips, knees, and ankles) that occupational therapists recommend for safe feeding. Proper foot support improves core stability, reduces squirming, and helps babies focus on developing eating skills rather than balancing themselves.
Q: Can I use this with your leg wraps?
A: Yes! The footrest is designed to work perfectly with or without our leg wraps. Many parents love the coordinated look of matching wood finishes. The footrest slides on over the leg wraps without any interference.
Q: Which wood finish should I choose?
A: All finishes are equally durable and functional - it's purely aesthetic preference. Maple is our most popular for its light, Scandinavian look. Bamboo offers warm honey tones with distinctive grain. Walnut is rich and sophisticated. Light Walnut is a versatile middle ground. Many parents match their footrest to their dining furniture or our leg wraps.
Q: How do I clean the footrest?
A: Simply wipe with a damp cloth for everyday cleaning. For stubborn marks, use a wood-safe cleaner. Avoid submerging in water or placing in the dishwasher as this can damage the wood. Occasionally applying food-safe wood oil keeps the finish looking beautiful.
