My 15-month-old does not like her high chair. She has sat in it since she was so young, but now she will not eat at it. Or she will eat a bite or two then shove all her food on the floor. I don’t know what to do to help. My husband and I are getting very frustrated.

I used to feed mine sitting in the floor, she hated the high chair. She sits at a table now because my oldest sits at a table so she has to copy. If she’s not at the table, she’s either in my lap or my husband’s lap.
Put it up to the table
Either a booster seat or a child’s size table.

I have this problem with my middle child and she is crazy so nothing I say really goes 
but we have one you can lower and we just put it down and leave her food on it and she picks at it … we sit her in first! And a trick I find is to have her food ready and on the highchair before putting her in!
She thinks she’s a big girl.
Get her a small table with chairs and let her sit there.

Time for the table. My daughter was about 16 months and started throwing food etc in the high chair and asking to get out after 10 minutes. We started letting her sit at her toddler table instead and she started eating again.
The old high chairs you could take the tray off and scoot them up to the table, try that, she wants to eat with the family not near the family. Also put only a bite or two infront of her at a time.

Look into the Bumbo Multi Seat. It’s AWESOME! It’s basically a booster seat, but also has a detachable tray… so if reaching the table is still tough, there’s a tray that they can use but still be in a big chair like everyone else!

Try a small table and chair for her. I did that with my son just before his second birthday while I was pregnant with his brother. And he does so well with it. My son only eats at his table. Unless he has one of those snack cups you can put like goldfish crackers in. But try a little table and chair and see if that helps so she has her own table.
Time to take her out of high chair she doesn’t like it anymore , get wee booster seat and sit her at table along with you and family … she just wants to be included x

Mine uses one of these and sat at the table I think they were 5 or so until they stopped using hr trip trap All buybuy BABY Products
We used something similar to this for our daughter. We could remove the tray and she could sit at the table like a big girl, but we still had the functionality of a high chair if we needed it. It just attached directly to our kitchen chair.
She may be uncomfortable in the sitting position, my son was the same way. Modify the angle of her seat with a wedge cushion.
Maybe a booster seat so she can sit at the table with you?
Get a children’s table!
My son started eating at one at 14 months while at daycare, so we got one for home!
He eats great 
Try a high chair that sits on a normal chair and put her food on the table with you guys. Worked like a charm with both my kids. I think they just hit an age and want to do what you do but dont have the words to say it yet.

My daughters were early (as twins) so they were kinda late bloomers. At 15 months they were still learning to walk. One was so active all she wanted to do was run. So I put her in a walker and put her finger foods on it and just let her stroll around while she ate

We got the generic Bumbo seat that we could strap to a chair. She ate at the table like the rest of us and was a happy camper. Just wanted to eat like us.

Put the chair up to the table without the tray. It will give her a way to sit at the table like you do. At thst agevthey want to be like mom and dad. My coudin found thst her 2 yr old wanted a glasslike hervtea glass and onevday at thebstore shebgot 2 juice glasses like her ice tea glass. He drank his milk fron his glass with no ptoblem. All he wanted was things like mommy.
Above all never make mealtime a battleground. If she don’t eat let her down and she will be hungry next meal.

Dont make eating a fight… that’s what my dr said. Let her eat where she feel comfortable… even if it’s in the couch to starr
At that age my son enjoyed sitting at a child sized table and chairs. Little Tikes makes a nice sturdy plastic one that’s easy to clean.
Maybe I’m wrong but my kids survived. Swap to 5 smaller meals a day. Leave some Cheerios or something out throughout the day. Keep milk in a sippie for the extra calories. Good luck.
Sounds like she’s ready for the grown up table. Just get rid of it. Get one of those booster seats that you can fasten onto the chair.
She wants to be a big kid. All her to sit at the table. Nothing wrong with it.
My dr told me ur lucky if a toddler eats one full meal a day they normally just snack all day.
Booster chair. She’s outgrowing the high chair and asserting some independence. Let her. This is a good thing.

My daughter only eats if it’s on the floor. When I was a baby I would only eat on the floor and my food had to be in the dog bowl. Maybe try those?

Let them sit at the table in a chair like everyone else.
It’s normal for babies to have a fit, they feel restrained and just want their freedom… I put a blanket on the floor and let my kiddos watch tv and eat, some ppl are against it but you gotta choose your battles,lol… It’s usually the same way with car seats, unfortunately!! When your baby gets older sit them at the table but for now let them have “their freedom” lol… Good luck
My daughter is at that age too. I agree with the toddler table. If you have one of those high chair to toddler table the straps still work when its a table. (badger basket is the only brand coming to mind but there are more) If the current high chair is only waist straps it too easy to get out of. Does everyone sit down with the toddler when they eat? If not sometimes that’s why. Want to be like everyone else. Anywho good luck 
The high chair i have also turns into seat like you would use at a restaurant. My 16 month old has been doing the same so we took the high chair off and have him sit at the table with us and he likes it so much better. Try a booster seat!
Lower to table height and put her at the table table. She more than likely just wants to eat with everyone else

Try a booster and put her at table with you, worked for my daughter she loved being apart of everything
My sons a little older but he loved sitting in a booster at the table and being a big kid
I have the chair that’s in the restaurants and my child loves it she eats most of her fruits and somewhat of food but she also likes to switch to a regular chair.
I kid started to refuse the highchair at this age also. Moved her to a booster.
maybe try the space saver kind that attaches to a chair so she can be AT the table
Stop using the high chair tray and pull her up to the table with you.
Try taking the trey off and sit her in it at table if its same height.
Get her a booster seat that you can strap to the big girl chairs and then get her a plate and bowl that suck to the table. Works for our little grandson
There’s the booster seats with straps and it attaches to a regular chair, I di that for my daughter. Hope it helps
They have ones that strap into a kitchen chair
Take off the tray and push it up to the table.
I need to go to bed, I read that as 15-year-old.

I may be different but…she is the kid and you’re the parent. My kids sit where I want them for meals. None of this “if she is comfortable on the couch, let her eat there…” nonsense.

Sit her at the table mine was sitting on a regular chair at the table by that age
I think shes getting a little old for a high chair get a booster.seat or a small table and chair for her but she probably will want to sit with u.so get a booster seat good luck
I don’t think it’s the chair? She might be expressing she’s “a big girl now” try a chair of her own maybe her own place mat for her own big girl spot.
Time for a table and chair set. And or a booster seat to sit at the big table with you guys.
Get her ber a booster seat so she can eat at the table with you!

Let her sit in a chair at the table if she can reach. or get her her own table
My son did not like the high chair. So we found a chair that was as tall as the table. He wanted to be just like mommy and daddy sitting at the table eating. He would only sit in a high chair if he was at a restaurant. Thankfully he did not make any messes sitting in a regular chair.
My daughter is the same. It’s a phase. Just be persistent
They will never starve
My daughters chair lowered so she could be pulled up to the table with us
you guys are idiots she is out grown the high chair Go walk though the baby section and get educated at 15 months my child was out of a high chair
