IKEA Highchair
Footrest Guide

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.

• Tool-Free Installation: Slides right onto your IKEA Antilop legs in seconds. No tools, no hardware, no frustration. Works with or without our matching leg wraps.

Product Details:

• Material: Solid wood (finish varies by variant - Maple, Bamboo, Walnut, Light Walnut)
• Dimensions: Approximately 28cm (W) x 12cm (D) x 6-10cm (H) - height adjustable to grow with your child
• Weight: Approximately 500g - sturdy enough to support kicking feet, light enough to adjust easily
• Compatibility: Designed exclusively for IKEA Antilop highchair legs
• Installation: Tool-free, slides onto existing legs; works with or without leg wraps
• Warranty: 2 Year Limited Warranty against manufacturing defects

Choose Your Finish:

We offer 4 beautiful wood finishes to match your style:

• Maple: Light, bright wood tone with subtle grain. Our most popular choice for modern, Scandinavian-style spaces. Clean and timeless.

• Bamboo: Warm honey tones with distinctive horizontal grain patterns. Sustainable and beautiful. Perfect for natural, eco-conscious homes.

• Walnut: Rich, dark brown with elegant grain character. Sophisticated choice that adds warmth to any dining room. Hides minor scuffs beautifully.

• Light Walnut: Medium-toned brown with gentle warmth. The perfect middle ground between light and dark. Versatile enough to match almost any decor.

Pro tip: Match your footrest to our leg wraps for a completely coordinated look. Or mix finishes for an intentionally eclectic style!

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!).

[{"question":"Will this footrest fit my IKEA Antilop highchair?","answer":"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."},{"question":"How do I adjust the height of the footrest?","answer":"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."},{"question":"At what age can my baby start using this footrest?","answer":"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."},{"question":"Why does foot support matter for eating?","answer":"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."},{"question":"Can I use this with your leg wraps?","answer":"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."},{"question":"Which wood finish should I choose?","answer":"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."},{"question":"How do I clean the footrest?","answer":"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."}]

Transform Your IKEA Highchair in Minutes

Let's be honest - the white plastic legs on the IKEA Antilop are functional but far from stylish. They stick out awkwardly against your carefully curated home decor, natural wood furniture, and beautifully styled dining space. The Little Puku IKEA Highchair Leg Wraps instantly transform those plastic legs into elegant wood-look accents that blend seamlessly with your home.

What Makes Them Special:

• Instant Style Upgrade: Turn cheap-looking white plastic into beautiful wood-look legs in under 10 minutes. No skills required - if you can apply a sticker, you can do this.

• Realistic Wood Grain Finish: Premium architectural vinyl film with authentic wood grain texture. From across the room, guests won't believe it's not real wood. Up close? Still impressive.

• Simple Peel-and-Stick Application: No tools, no mess, no expertise needed. Just peel off the backing, wrap around the leg, smooth out any bubbles, and you're done. Complete set covers all 4 legs.

• Durable and Long-Lasting: High-quality vinyl designed for furniture and architectural applications. Resists scratches, water, and everyday wear. Your wraps will look great for years - long after your little one has outgrown the highchair.

• Removable Without Damage: Changed your mind or selling the highchair? The wraps peel off cleanly without leaving sticky residue or damaging the plastic underneath. Perfect for renters or those who like to switch things up.

Mealtime shouldn't mean a 20-minute cleanup. If your IKEA Antilop tray is constantly sticky, stained, or covered in crumbs hiding in the edges, the Little Puku IKEA Highchair Placemat is your solution.

This custom-fitted silicone mat covers the entire Antilop tray—including the rim—so purées, yogurt, and stray peas stay where they belong.

Perfect Fit, Safe Materials

Engineered exclusively for the IKEA Antilop, this covered placemat sits flush with no gaps or weird spacing. The slightly raised edges catch spills before they roll off, while the non-slip base keeps plates steady during mealtime exploration.
