IKEA hack

Our new IKEA hack- Converting Snille Visitor Chair into Baby High Chair



One idea for small space apartment dwellers. Recently our IKEA Snille chairs seats broke again after being replaced for the second time so we decided its time to get a new set of chairs. The two seats were discarded and the frames reused to create the base for baby highchair. We are using this convertible car seat around the apartment as a baby seat, and now the baby can join us at the dining table.

The baby seat sits on top of the frame, it is secured by one of the seat belts looping under the steel frame and attached on the sides.
