I need more room at my kitchen table. I have 6 kids now and 5 highchairs- the kind that attach to my wooden chairs. My chairs are low compared to the table so until a kids is 4 or so they can't sit in the wooden chair alone and reach appropriately.

Does anyone have their kids sit on their knees? I feel like that wouldnt be comfortable.

I am starting a new one in 1 week and need a big kid chair for her.
I have considered getting a regular highchair and using that for the baby and then let this bigger one have the wooden chair with no highchair but we don't have a lot of room for a permanent highchair in our kitchen.

The only other option I can think of is getting a bench that slides under the table to pull out at lunch. Has anyone used a bench for older kids and what are the pros/cons? I can imagine a bit of wiggling at first but I think it would be better than a folding chair.... What brands work best or where did you find one? I havent been able to find one except a custom $$$$$ one.
