Selecting the child, I cancel the Let Me Out interaction, click on the food, select Eat, and unpause.

How do you do it? I have never ever been able to cancel the Let Me Out interaction. They keep going on and on to the point the whole household is in line to take the darn toddler out the plum chair.

If the game is paused, and the Let Me Out interaction hasn't yet fallen to the bottom of the queue, the Eat (food) interaction usually goes into the lower queue as soon as you click it, for me, anyhow. Then, if Let Me Out stays, or appears in the queue again, it is prevented from dropping until the Eat (food) interaction is completed. Be sure you're canceling Let Me Out in the toddler's queue, not the caregiver's. :)

New to the table (so to speak) is that my toddler throws their food every time I feed them and I have no option to discipline them.

That’s always been the case.....they’ve thrown food since they were added to the game until their Thinking skill is leveled up. Parents autonomously react with the “give talking to” interaction if they are nearby. I’m assuming they didn’t re-code it to Parenthood discipline because toddlers are base game so they left the talking to interaction for that since everyone has access to that....I think it’s the same with splashing in the toilet, can’t remember for sure though.

I myself am a fan of them at times, if I want the child to sit with the family at the table. I can use them pretty well most of the time with this process. I take a serving of the food. I put the child in the chair, and pause the game. I place the food from the inventory on the tray of the chair. Selecting the child, I cancel the Let Me Out interaction, click on the food, select Eat, and unpause.

If the food is out on the counter or table, there's a "grab a serving for.." option. So you can put the toddler in the high chair, grab a serving for them, and it does the "go near toddler" and "ask to eat" bits. Assuming that you can actually keep the toddler in the high chair without the "put down" interaction overriding all else even with autonomy disabled, that is. But that's a problem even with the food options that are built into the high chair.

Toddlers never stay in the high chair even when putting food there for them. The only way I've noticed you can keep them in the high chair is if you attach to the dining room table. They will cry and reach out to the parent or teen sibling if it is anywhere but the table.

I've been using highchairs in two different saves and they seemed to be working and by that I mean the tots sit and wait in one save a tot waited for his mom to eat and in the other one set of twins waited while his sister was put in a chair since he'd already finished his food. Though I've definitely had issues I think that even if they whine older sims should ignore that sometimes you have to to finish another task and it's not going to kill them to wait a moment but then for that I just leave food out so the tots can feed themselves. Maybe the chairs are half glitched.
