A trip to Ikea is always fun and never without drama, the place always seems filled with people who have nothing better to do than waste days wandering around in circles ignoring whatever flow the store tries to provide to keep things moving. Sure they have some good stuff and is a great source of inspiration but the time it takes to get anywhere inside is extremely frustrating. Not to mention the kids section that I swear parents just go there for their kids to play with the toys on the weekend and with that many kids in a small area you can imagine the smell that is generated.
Our Ikea experience this time round was actually quite quick and dare I say it enjoyable, we skipped past most of the display section where people looked like Zombies following a predetermined path when they felt like it, most choosing their own adventure causing pedestrian traffic chaos.
We headed straight to the kids section sourced the high chair and a few other bits and pieces and than headed to the warehouse level for pickup and payment. All in all a pretty quick and stress free event.
However as I mentioned a trip to Ikea must involve drama somewhere along the line. This time however it was nothing to do with Ikea, the shopping complex or the atrocious car parking, alas it was the trip there when we got a flat tyre. Racing against the clock with a snug asleep Sebastian in the car I was pretty impressed with my one way alley formula one style pitstop that had us up and running again in no time. An extremely large chunk of metal had found it's way deep into the tyre and made quick work of setting it flat.
Below are some pictures of Sebastian loving his new high chair, let the feeding begin!
somebody thinks he is "king of the castle" and might i say pretty cute also!!! It looks like a low chair????? or is it the way the photo was taken? Good to see Seb so happy. Thanks for the updates Jo
ReplyDelete:) Cheers Jo, yeah we think he's pretty darn cute also.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably not as high as the traditional ones? It's level with table height which is good height.
Not as far for the food to fall! :)
