Poggiapiedi Guide
Everything you need to know about footrests for the IKEA Antilop: why they matter, how to choose, and how to install in 2 minutes.

Why does your baby need a footrest?
I specialisti pediatrici dell'alimentazione e i terapisti occupazionali concordano: il supporto del piede è essenziale per mangiare in modo sicuro e concentrato. Ecco perché.
Supports Proper Posture
Dangling legs cause the pelvis to tilt backward, rounding the spine. A footrest enables the 90-90-90 position (hips, knees, ankles) recommended by pediatric therapists.
Learn About 90-90-90Provides Core Stability
With feet supported, your baby's core muscles can relax. This stability (proprioception) allows them to focus entirely on the complex task of chewing and swallowing.
See How It WorksPromotes Safer Eating
Slumped posture makes swallowing mechanically difficult and increases choking risk. A footrest helps your baby sit upright for safer mealtimes from 6 months.

Il problema delle "gambe penzolanti"
Un poggiapiedi per seggiolone IKEA fornisce un supporto essenziale per i piedi for neonati e bambini piccoli. Without one, a baby's legs dangle in the Antilop chair—just like sitting on a bar stool where your feet can't reach the rung. This forces their core muscles to work overtime just to stay upright.
The result? Fidgeting, fussing, and poor posture. More importantly, when the pelvis tilts backward (from dangling legs), the spine rounds into a slump. This position makes swallowing mechanically difficult and increases choking risk during meals.
The 90-90-90 Rule
Pediatric feeding specialists and occupational therapists advocate for the 90-90-90 position during all meals:
- Hips at a 90-degree angle
- Knees at a 90-degree angle
- Ankles at a 90-degree angle (feet flat on a surface)
Our adjustable footrests provide that critical third point of contact. With feet supported, your baby gains proprioceptive stability—the body's sense of position in space. This allows them to focus entirely on the complex fine motor skills required for chewing, manipulating food, and swallowing safely.
When to Start Using a Footrest
Start using a footrest as soon as your baby begins solids—typically around 6 months. The footrest adjusts as your baby grows, maintaining proper 90-90-90 positioning from 6 months through toddlerhood (up to 3 years).
What About DIY Footrests?
Many parents consider DIY options using pool noodles, wooden dowels, or 3D-printed brackets. While these can work, they often lack:
- Adjustability – fixed heights don't grow with your baby
- Stability – DIY materials may slip or shift
- Safety testing – no verified weight limits or material safety
- Aesthetics – mismatched materials vs. coordinated wood finishes
Our bamboo, walnut, and maple footrests are designed specifically for the IKEA Antilop. They adjust in seconds, hold up to 50kg, and coordinate beautifully with your seggiolone setup.
How to Install Your Poggiapiedi in 2 Minutes
Wipe Legs Clean
Remove any grease or dust from the highchair's metal legs for best grip.
Roll O-Rings Up
Slide the included rubber O-rings up each leg to your desired height.
Slide Poggiapiedi On
Place the bamboo/wood footrest board over both legs—it rests on the O-rings.
Adjust for 90°
Move the O-rings so your baby's knees are at a 90-degree angle when seated.
What Parents Say About Our Poggiapiedi
"Rivoluzionario! Mia figlia si agitava continuamente durante i pasti. Now she sits calmly and actually finishes her food. The bamboo looks beautiful too."
"Stavo per farne uno fai-da-te con i noddles da piscina, ma sono contenta di non averlo fatto. This is so much sturdier and the adjustable height is brilliant as she's grown."
"Spedito super velocemente da Brisbane. Facile da installare: letteralmente 2 minuti. The walnut finish matches our dining table perfectly."
"Prima la sicurezza,
lo stile sempre."
From Melbourne with Love.
Little Puku started like many great ideas—at the kitchen table. When I couldn't find a safe, stylish footrest for my own baby's IKEA highchair, I decided to make one.
Today, we are a small, mum-run team based in Melbourne, shipping footrests to families all over the world. Every product is tested on our own kids first, so you know it's safe.
