Whenever I have toddlers, I leave a buffet table for them so they can go and eat whenever they become hungry. Just to avoid the poor parents having to take turns lifting the toddler up, setting them down, lifting them up... setting them down...
Oh, and what a merry dance that is, too. Oi! I have a tendency to have a Sim serve a meal and then call to meal. Generally, since I've noticed lately that the rate of spoilage has simmered down, I will often just leave said platter on the kitchen counter. That way the tots can help their little selves. :)

I try to avoid the high chairs as they are weirdly programmed. I never understood why a parent and toddler must first sit down elsewhere for the parent to ask the toddler if food would be ok. They might waste an hour finding a seat, and then the parent will carry the toddler to the high chair, but other actions might disturb and I might cancel. It seems like even if I cancel, there ae some hidden actions queued, so the parent will get back to the task eventually. I wish I could see those planned tasks all along!!! The game has a few "chain programmed" actions that makes it impossible for the simmer to know that what you directed them to do is actually going to happen later. Tell them to "feed toddler" and the queued action will say "talk to toddler", which was not what you told them to do, so you might easily cancel and tell them again to "feed toddler". Utterly confusing...
I rather leave a group serving on a counter, and the toddler can help him/herself. I only use high chairs for storytelling or if I decided to waste a simday on confusions, LOL.
I've noticed that the chat that occurs often includes a discussion on pizza. LOL

Don't use the high chairs ever when having more than one toddler. These things are glitched and causes more problems than be helpful. I always put the servings on the floor and the little ones can help themselves.
Ooh, I would never even think about placing food on the floor! LOL The toddlers are well able to grab a serving from the kitchen counter. They can often, and do, place the empty plate up very high, too. (Wish I had that kind of reach!)
