Hello friends!
I have been wanting to share this with you for a while but we have been so busy with so much other stuff both day to day and on the blog that it’s taken a while to get written.
I am really excited about sharing this review with you. We are loving this high chair!
We have been through 2 high chairs already with Chloe {19 months old}. The first being one of those huge, ultra padded impossible to clean ones. 
The second was an Ikea Antilop high chair. So easy to clean! But my little Ms Independent wanted to be able to climb into her chair by herself like her big brother does. She really disliked me putting her in it, and would often end up so upset about me lifting her into the chair that she wouldn’t eat. And when you did get her into the chair, she would keep standing up in it, no matter how tight we made the lap seat belt. Heart attack central!! 
So we needed a new chair – one that satisfied Ms Chloe and also me! We were going to be very picky about which chair we ended up with. After a lot of research we worked out the Stokke Tripp Trapp would be perfect for us. But as a stand alone chair it was already a little out of our price range – add the accessories in and it blows the budget. We were so happy when we found the Mocka Soho Wooden Highchair.
This highchair ticks all of our boxes when it comes to a chair for our Chloe. 
  • It is sturdy in design, so I feel she is safe when she is on this chair.
  • It is easy to clean, just a quick wipe. It comes with free cushions for the seat base and the back rest of the chair but we are not currently using them – Chloe is the messiest eater I know.
  • She is able to climb up into it herself {when the safety rail on the front is not installed}. It is also easy for her to get down on her own.
  • It keeps her at an optimal height for meal times and other activities at the dining table. 
  • The seat base and foot rest are both adjustable and will last her until she is 6 years old or more, ensuring she will always be at the right height while seated at the table. She is currently on the very highest level for the seat base so there is plenty of room for growing. 
  • It looks great, we have it in white to match our other dining chairs. 
  • A shoulder and waist harness is available as an accessory and this is useful for when I would like Chloe to be strapped in {think messy spaghetti and a child that bolts from the dining table in 2.4 seconds. Ha. This keeps her there so we can clean her up first!} 
  • The quality is great, the paint finish is fantastic – it is a white chair and we have been using it for nearly 2 months and it still looks like new after a wipe down. 
Here is the chair with the seat and back rest cushions {they come included in the price of the chair} and with the safety bar attached. The harness is also visible here and useable when the cushions are on the chair. The chair also comes with a strap as seen in the first photo at the top of the post.
This is the back of the chair with the cushions and harness attached. It is a sturdy chair, and not easy to tip. Chloe pushes herself away from the table to get down with no problems. 
The cushions attach with strong velcro to keep them in place. They are super easy to remove for washing!
This is Chloe all strapped in and with the front safety bar. Lots of room! I would love to keep her in the chair like this – but as I said earlier in the post, she likes to climb in and out herself otherwise we have unpleasant meal times! Lucky for us she usually sits still until she’s had enough, so the bar isn’t hugely necessary for her at this stage but would be required if she was a younger child to keep her safe and secure.
This is how we use our Mocka Soho – no cushions or front safety bar. But we keep the harness here so we can use it when needed. The safety bar is not a snap in and out accessory – the chair needs to be partly unscrewed for it to be installed. {the same applies for when you want to adjust the seat base or foot rest.} It doesn’t take very long to install or remove, but it’s not something you would want to do everyday.
Easy peasy for her to climb into.
Because it is adjustable, I can make sure Chloe is always sitting at the right height for her at the table. She is also sitting right up close to the table, which I love. Her Antilop kept her at quite a distance. I found that even with the safety bar installed on the Soho, she was still sitting pretty close. 
I am really so very happy with this chair. It is everything we needed in a chair and also has all the things we wanted, at such an affordable price. We are buying another one shortly for Noah – as he is on a normal dining chair and it’s just not high enough for him. He is nearly 5, but I feel this chair will last him quite a while still.
