Forget the high chairs then......

High Chairs are garbage in TS4....sadly.

There are mods that prevent that problem with kids being taken out by a different sim before you can get the food in front of them. What I found works just as well and doesn't require a mod is to have someone grab a serving of food and use live-drag to put it on the High chair BEFORE you put the toddler in. That way they can get straight to eating once seated and don't call out for someone else to take them out.

But honestly, at the end of the day it's all far too much hassle for me to bother and I do the same as what @ModerateOsprey said...I let them sit on something else to eat. My own preferences is the little toadstool-looking stools rather than the panda chair though. Just because I find them cute. Plus, doing it this way lets them be self sufficient because toddlers are perfectly capable of grabbing their own serving of food. And, as an added benefit, they don't mash their food and make a mess when not in a high chair.

Something definitely is wrong with the high chairs in this game.

Yeah, I think I'm just going to let them get their own food off the counter and eat it elsewhere. Seems like less of a hassle like you said.

I used the highchair only a few times at first. I got so frustrated, then I discovered that toddlers will use living chairs and sofas, and get their own plates of food... I never looked back, never used the highchair again!

Yeah, my Sims like eating in front of the tv, and then leaving their plates on the coffee table lol. So definitely going to start doing that.

I must admit I still love using highchairs, but I wouldn't If I were playing Vanilla.

I liked using them too but they can be glitchy at times.
