@Erin yes it has a footrest, he's in a good position in the high chair, he just doesn't have much interest in eating. I know it's normal, they all go at their own pace, but I can't help comparing him to his older sibling who was the complete opposite, she was shoveling food in from the very start haha
My little girl sits independently bit we have been starting pretty slow with solids, just a bit every now and then. She doesn't really swallow a lot of it yet but does love trying all the things
