I opted to get rid of my old highchair in favor of two of these :https://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=4439858
I hate how big highchairs are and since I need two it just wasn't going to happen in my kitchen. The kind I got sits on an existing chair, has a tray for when you want it, you can use the table when they get a bit older and ultimately just use it as a booster seat by taking the back off. I can also use it on the floor for feeding informally if wanted. So that being said..
1. I know that at least initially when feeding DD I used to recline her slightly and I can't tell if that one allows for that.
2. It would be awesomely easy to take with you to a friend's house.
3. Not sure of the weight restrictions on that, you will likely have to also buy a booster seat but they don't cost much.
4. Highchair or not you will find food in every nook and cranny, sometimes days after. lol Kids are messy!
5. You would have to be deligent to check the clamps regularly but that's not really a big deal.
6. The swivel will be great from 6-12months since you would want to face then baby while feeding them. After about a year they start to self feed for the mostpart though.
Opinion: If you couldn't do a booster style highchair then I think this is a great option to save space.
And yes babies can sit on their own by 6 months when they start solids.
Nypage - DD didn't want her old costumes. I was told they were crappy. lol She tried to suck up to Daddy but after waking him he wasn't having any of that. So it was put to her by the two of us. Accept the terms of the contract negotiated the night prior (wear home to show daddy then put away until Halloween) or we would have to return the dress. She reluctantly agreed but also decided we should put it in our closet but it was to tempting. Too funny.
As for the tandem stroller, both seats can come completely off and be traded so I could stitch in a little embroidered patch or something to individualize.. could be the same with their matching car seats and even a side by side stroller too. Great idea.
For those who like giving opinions, here are links to the two strollers I'm thinking of: https://www.babyjogger.com/city_select_lp.aspx and https://mountainbuggy.com/en/buggies/double/duet I totally just don't know which one to get.
