Mimzy Snacker Highchair
7.4/10 overall£40.00
A compact table-clamping highchair with a 3-position adjustable tray that folds flat for easy storage.
The verdict
The Joie Mimzy Snacker is a compact, £40 table-clamping highchair with a 3-position tray that folds flat and weighs about 3.6kg, letting your baby sit at the table with the family. It needs a suitable, sturdy table edge and costs four times as much as the IKEA Antilop, but suits families with limited kitchen space or who travel often.
Clamping straight onto the dining table rather than standing on the floor changes what this product is for - it's less a full highchair replacement and more a space-saving, portable seat that lets your baby sit at the actual table with the rest of the family. The three tray positions are a genuinely useful detail as your baby grows from purée feeds needing the tray close, to finger foods where a bit more room to manoeuvre helps. At around 3.6kg it's genuinely light to carry between rooms or pack in a bag, which the Antilop, while movable, doesn't quite match for grab-and-go convenience.
Against the IKEA Antilop, this is the pricier, more compact option - roughly four times the cost for a product with a narrower use case, since it depends on having a suitable table edge to clamp onto (thick glass tables, pedestal tables and some extending tables won't work). What you get in return is genuine portability: it folds flat for the car boot or a grandparent's house in a way the bulkier Antilop can't match.
Best suited to families with limited kitchen space who don't want a permanent floor-standing highchair taking up room, or anyone who travels regularly and wants a highchair that comes with them. Families with a suitable table who don't need portability are generally better served by the cheaper, sturdier Antilop as a full-time solution.
It needs a sturdy, appropriately shaped table edge to clamp onto securely, so it's worth checking your table works before buying rather than after, and it won't fit every surface. Cleaning is also less thorough than the Antilop's strip-down design - this is largely a wipe-clean single unit, so food that gets into the clamp mechanism or seams is harder to get at.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Joie Mimzy Snacker worth it?+
It's a good choice if you're short on kitchen space or travel a lot — it clamps to the table so needs no floor space, folds flat for storage, and its three tray positions grow with your baby. At four times the price of the IKEA Antilop, it's a bigger investment for a narrower use case.
How does it compare to the IKEA Antilop?+
It's pricier and more compact than the Antilop, depending on having a suitable table edge to clamp onto (thick glass, pedestal or some extending tables won't work). In return you get genuine portability — it folds flat for the car boot or a grandparent's house in a way the bulkier Antilop can't match.
Will the Mimzy Snacker fit my table?+
Not necessarily — it needs a sturdy, appropriately shaped table edge, and won't work with glass, pedestal or some extending tables, so it's worth checking your table works before buying.
Is the Joie Mimzy Snacker easy to clean?+
It's mostly wipe-clean as a single unit, but cleaning is less thorough than a strip-down highchair like the Antilop since food can get into the clamp mechanism or seams.
