Triplet Mommies-Highchair/triplet table

Just curious at what age you sat around the table as a family to eat dinner. 

I purchased a used triplet feeding table, but it is in my kitchen and our dining table is in the dining room (there is no space to put them both next to each other in the same room). 

Right now we eat dinner after they go to sleep at 7pm, but I don't want to do this forever or have them eat at a different time than us for a really long time.  I saw those Phil and Ted style chairs that clamp onto the regular table (they also use them on the show Quints by Surprise) and I thought that might work better for our space situation.

WWYD, sell the triplet table eventually and have them sit at the regular table with us? I'm not sure at what age that we could even do that without it being a disaster?

I probably have a while before I have to think about this:)

 

 

 

Re: Triplet Mommies-Highchair/triplet table

  • I don't have triplets and my twins aren't old enough to eat, but with a toddler under 2 and twins we need 3 seats.  I will have FP space savers for all three kiddos at my kitchen table.  I figured if I have guests I will just put the chairs on the floor or get some folding chairs for the space savers.  

    Those clip on seats might be nice because you could travel with them.  The only thing I would be concerned about is the weight limit.  I never checked into those types of seats so I have no clue how much weight they hold.

    We actually use FP Healthy Care boosters now that just strap to a regular chair.  They are easy to clean, use, travel with, etc, and were only about $20/each.  We just put plastic under their chairs.  (We're still working on trying to figure out how to protect the walls from food though. :-)

  • Right now I have 3 high chairs lined up in the kitchen. We sit on stools in front of them to feed them. I too am debating having them sit at the dining room table and eat with us, but I find it too hard right now.

    You could try the space saving chairs and just push them right up to the table. We have the boosters that attach to regular chairs for when we travel and those are good too. I wouldn't get rid of the triplet table - it might work really well for them when they're older. Good luck! :)

  • We have 3 highchairs in our dining room. We still usually feed them first and then eat after they go to bed. We have all eaten together a couple of times but its usually me feeding them and by the time I get to my food it's cold. I have 1 that won't feed himself though so that is part of it. I hope to eventually do every meal together but right now we are just taking it slow and trying to eat together once or twice a week.
