cushion covers

You will need a cushion insert to use our covers. If you already have the IKEA Antilop support cushion, there's no need to get a new one. But if you don't already have a cushion, you can purchase our cushion insert separately. Please note, you only need one cushion insert per highchair, then you can change the cover as often as you like.

Our patterned cushion covers are 100% natural cotton fabric and not wipeable. The front-side designs are printed with eco-friendly, wash-safe inks that can be machine washed. See our IG story highlight called "Washing" to hear real moms talk about our covers’ washability!

Our vegan leather covers are wipeable, but should not be machine washed.

We recommend the highchair cushion for all ages! When your babies are little and unsteady, they need it for support. As they grow, the cushion becomes an important tool to keep your child in a proper eating posture (watch our video explanation).
Unfortunately we aren't able to do custom items at this time. We buy fabric and sew our covers in large batches to get people their items as quickly and as affordably as possible.
Little wrinkles can be removed in the dryer. For more stubborn wrinkles, TURN THE COVER INSIDE OUT and iron using a medium-high heat.

placemats

Silicone is highly stain resistant. It may appear stained after using a red or orange sauce, but if you keep using and and washing like normal, it should go away on its own. Soaking the placemat in water overnight may speed up the process. You can also soak in hydrogen peroxide or leave the placemat in the sun if needed, but note that prolonged sun exposure may fade the color.
Our placemats are made of 100% FDA food grade silicone. As with many silicone products, the vulcanization (hardening) process can create a slight smell. The smell dissipates with time, sometimes taking up to a month. Most silicone products take longer than a month to go from production to consumer, so the smell is gone by the time it is received. However, our placemats sometimes go from production to consumer in about a weeks time. The best way to speed up the process is to heat the placemat in the oven at a temperature of 200 degrees for an hour or so.
All placemats have been tested by SGS - an independent leader in testing and certification of juvenile products. The most recent testing/certification date is August 12, 2021. A summary of the testing performed can be found below to certify the high standards of the FDA approved silicone placemats.

-FDA 21 CFR 177.2600–Total extractive residues - PASS all testing
-RoHS Directive (EU) 2015/863 Testing - NO DETECTION of Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent chromium, Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and Phthalates such as Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) , Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) , and Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)
-EN 14582:2016 Halogen Testing - NO DETECTION of Fluorine (F). Chlorine (Cl). Bromine (Br). Iodine (I).
-US California Proposition 65 - NO DETECTION of Bisphenol-A, Lead (Pb), Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) . Benzylbutyl Phthalate (BBP) . Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate(DEHP) . Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP) .Diisodecyl Phthalate (DIDP) . Di-n-hexyl Phthalate (DnHP) .

footrests

Usually it's just oil on the legs that causes the footrest to slip. We recommend pushing the rings way up to the top and then wiping the highchair legs with rubbing alcohol. Let them air dry, then roll the rings down again (natural skin oil may cause slippage, so try to limit contact with the legs as you re-install). If you have an older child or active baby (or just don’t want to worry about keeping the legs clean), our support clamps offer extra stability.

leg wraps

Around 2018, IKEA started rolling out a new version of highchair legs that angle out more. However, many IKEA locations still have the older style legs they sell with new highchairs (these legs were not recalled and are still safe to use). You can check your highchair leg measurements to know if you have the older or newer style:

-Older style IKEA ANTILOP legs measure 28 7/8 inches from top to bottom and are completely straight
-Newer style IKEA ANTILOP legs measure 29 3/8 inches from top to bottom and have a slight bend at the top
Yes! If you have the older style legs, we recommend installing with the legs off the highchair, starting at the bottom. If you install starting at the top of the leg, you will just need to trim the excess at the bottom with an exacto knife after installation. Alternatively, you can cut half a centimeter off the leg wrap before installing.

This is totally a personal preference! When my little ones were in their messiest phase, I had three cushion covers I rotated every 2-3 days. I could have gotten by with one placemat since I rinse immediately after each meal and let the mat air dry on the tray (but I ended up with a few colors because it’s so fun to mix and match!). Multiples would also be helpful if you wash in the dishwasher or you like to throw the mat in the sink after meals and wash later.
