Need high chair plans that don't use spindles

[gordonmt]

I have a new grand baby on the way and the proud parents need a new highchair. I really want to make this chair but I do not have a lathe nor have I ever turned a piece of wood in my life. I am looking for plans that don't require turned wood.
Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

Google is your friend, but a lathe will make you happier :icon_thum

Rick Doby made a really nice one out of 3/4 inch Birch ply. PM him or maybe he'll see this.

I have built eight or nine of the ones in Woodsmith. They are put together with screws, so they can be broken down and stored for later children. The Chair can also be used as a "youth" chair. The joints are loose tenons, or biscutts. Each of my grandchildren, with the exception of the two oldest, and the youngest (his sisters each have a chair), along with my great grandson have a chair. Neighbor's grandson also has a chair. PM me, as I think I have an extra set of plans. The tray hardware, and safety strap are stock Rockler items.

Now your thinking!!! I have one made from maple but it's put up in the upper part of the shop and I can;t get out there right now. I made it with square spindles NOT round spindles ones that was a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
