Feedaway - the cardboard highchair

A high chair can be both a money and a space commitment, so it makes good sense to have one that's disposable - for holidays, for the grandparents' house, or as a temporary solution while you decide just which of the more robust designs you are going to invest in.

No, that tray isn't going to stand up to prolonged exposure to spaghetti sauce; yes, those legs will eventually bow under the weight of your growing toddler - but for those times when you need a high chair for now, the Belkiz Foldaway could well be the answer.

At the moment, that answer is only available to Aussies, where the Foldaway is exclusively stocked at a price of around AUS$ 40, or visitors to Australia, who can pick one up as part of an eco-promotion with rental firm Europcar. Apparently, though, there are plans to launch in Europe before the end of this year, so watch this space.
