What sort of toys do you take with when going to a restaurant and baby will be sat in their pram/ high chair?

Not against TV at home but don’t want to give a screen when out

Suction toys, book, pull string toy. I try to spread out her meal by giving bits at a time

Little animals or people figures and have resorted to our phone if she’s finished and we are still eating

I just avoid anything that can be really thrown. We went out yesterday and took a few suction spinners and books (loves these atm) x

A tip I got somewhere online, don't put the baby right away to the highchair until everyone's ready to eat or until everyone's food is there to minimise their waiting time in the chair as we know they have short attention span and like to keep moving all the time.

So I let LO walk around the restaurant while partner orders and sat him when we're ready to eat or the toys too.

I was out for lunch yesterday and forgot toys 🤦🏼‍♀️ I resorted to the paper Childs menu which he could tear and play with (they are colouring in ones so he could do that) my keys, bank card and a napkin. He did so well he loves my keys so they kept him entertained for a long time

Agree with don’t put them in the high chair until food is there! I usually take a pram toy because I can hook it onto the high chair so she can’t launch it! The “that’s not my” books are a go-to as well

Aqua doodle, tubes, straws, stickers. Little things that don't take up space in my bag 😄

yeah mine throws things pretty far 😂

good idea!! I do usually keep mine out the chair too because she gets upset but is okay when the food comes.

I’ve done this. Or let her unpack my handbag 😂😂
