I don't pay much attention to toddlers. It's only the pas few months of simming that I found sims will benefit from learning skills while toddlers. I find the potty training and high chair totally frustrating, but that might be more to the fact of the game lining up actions invisible in queue, so when directing a parent to feed in high chair the game responds with "let's sit down and chat in the room upstairs" while the actual "serve food in high chair" is queued but not yet invisible. I've pulled out most of my hair over this by now...
Toddlers are very cute and cool to watch though. Just not my focus life stage.
Try having a Sim Serve (fill in mealtime here) and leave the platter on the counter. Then have a Sim "Call to meal". The Toddlers can easily grab their food from there. They may toddle off to another room, but if you watch, they'll take a seat and eat their food. I only have a high chair on the lot for 'emergency feedings', if you will.
As for Potty Training, having a adult Sim help them, it really doesn't take all that long. (Not like in Sims2, where you had very limited time to get it done, anyway.)
Oh, I normally don't use highchairs either. It takes too much time feeding them there. I also drag a plate to their inventory because if they have food in inventory they can help themselves whenever they get hungry and without needing to walk over to the group serving. That said, walking builds their Motor skill, so it's not all bad having them wander all over the lot.
PS: Once I accidently fed a toddler a rose and to my surprise toddlers can actually eat flowers... not sure if that was a glitch that is fixed by now, but I almost fell off my chair watching, LOL.
