Essential for the IKEA Antilop
Adjustable Highchair Footrests
A footrest is the single most impactful upgrade you can make to the IKEA Antilop highchair — and it's the one thing the chair is missing straight out of the box. Without anywhere to rest their feet, babies and toddlers let their legs dangle, which makes them fidgety, less stable in the seat, and quicker to lose interest in food. Our adjustable footrests fix that. Each one is engineered specifically for the Antilop, clamps securely to the metal legs, and adjusts through a wide height range as your child grows — supporting the 90-90-90 posture (hips, knees and ankles at right angles) that occupational therapists recommend for safer, calmer, more focused mealtimes. Better posture also supports steadier self-feeding, which matters right through baby-led weaning and beyond. Choose from four premium wood finishes, each sanded smooth, sealed child-safe, and colour-matched to our leg wraps for a coordinated look. Fitting takes just a few minutes with no special tools, and every order is backed by hassle-free 30-day returns. Designed in Australia, shipped worldwide.

The Science of Sitting
Why feet matter at mealtime
When a baby's legs dangle in a highchair, their core muscles work overtime just to stay upright. The result? Fidgeting, fussing, and distracted eating.
Pediatric feeding specialists advocate for the : hips, knees, and ankles each at a 90-degree angle. This creates stability, allowing your little one to focus entirely on the complex task of chewing and swallowing.90-90-90 position
Our adjustable footrest provides that critical third point of contact—transforming chaotic mealtimes into calm, focused moments of connection.
"Pediatric occupational therapists recommend the 90-90-90 position for all mealtimes—hips, knees, and ankles each at 90 degrees. Our footrest makes this easy to achieve."

How do you attach a footrest to an IKEA highchair?
