 Hi all,Our school (my twins are in preschool there) is
 having an open house Saturday, January 26, 201310:00
 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.It is a private K-8 school that has
 preschool in the same building. We are very happy with
 teachers and curriculum - our kids are learning a lot
 and enjoying it. In addition to phonics and math, there
 is music, science and Spanish taught by subject
 teachers. Kids master gross and fine motor skills and
 social skills during the day.To attend an open house

 Our dining room has really become a playroom and is
 overflowing with toys in makeshift, mismatched bins. I
 thought I'd get basically a wall of these Ikea Trofast
 shelves with the bins and lids. I like that i could
 contain like items in covered, self contained bins that
 could come out for play and go back into their slots.Do
 you have this system and like it? Hate it?

 why were the lids useless? Did they not stay on?I was
 going to do the white frames with the white bins and
 label the bins. I kind of want to hid everything in
 something uniform, so opaque is good for me.

 The Oxo Tot is awesome! we've been using since June and
 they clean up fast, still look new. We also looked at
 the stokke but it's a small chair and looked like my
 kids would outgrow it too fast.

 My nine month old twins have been in their Stokkes with
 baby seat attachments for about six months. I *love*
 them. We don't have enough space for a dining table +
 separate high chair area so I've put a plastic
 tablecloth cover down on 1/2 the dining room floor and
 put silicon placemats (adult ones) at each of their
 seats and they just eat at the table with us (so didn't
 buy the Stokke trays). So far, so good. Messy to have
 them eat at the table to be sure, but the dog has
 gotten quite efficient at clean up now that we have the
 clear plastic down on the floor.

 I had the stokke for my first. We generally used it
 with the tray (at the time stokke didn't make one so we
 had a third party tray). We had the baby seat on until
 she was 2.5 years old. That was just easier than
 buckling. Now she is almost 3 and she likes to climb in
 and out of it herself (no baby seat). She can sit in a
 regular chair but likes this because it is higher and
 she is closer to the table.Because she is now using it
 as a chair, we ended up getting two more stokkes for my
 6 month old twins. So we are a three stokke household
 right now. The twins started sitting in them right at 6
 months. Neither can sit up on their own, but they are
 ok in the baby seat. If you leave them in there for too
 long though, I think they get uncomfortable. That will
 get better when they can sit on their own. We generally
 se the trays (now the newer stokke brand trays which
 are narrower so that's good with twins) because of the
 mess and I just find it easier. I have the cushions on
 the baby set because I think it makes it more
 comfortable, but I only use the back cushion and not
 the seat cushion. The seat cushion is too hard to get
 on and off for washing.For the most part I really like
 the high chair. The one major drawback for us is that
 it has no head support and does not recline. None of
 the options you are looking at have that though I don't
 think. We are running into problems right now where one
 twin will finish with solids and want the bottle, while
 the other twin is still eating. Or one wants the bottle
 first. Or whatever. It is difficult to feed a bottle in
 the high chair because of the lack of recline and
 support. My in-laws have a basic variety babies r us
 high chair that has a much higher back and reclines and
 it is no problem feeding a bottle in it! I do think
 this is a short term problem though.
