Toddlers being ejected out of their high chairs.
rufio:
I like the high chairs just because it means I don't have to micromanage the kids when I want to feed them. It seems like I can never get them into position to correctly receive bottles on the floor, so I just put them in the high chair first, where the kid can't cause trouble after it finishes/while the parent is getting the bottle. Food dishes are too much of a pain in the ass, though. (Yes, I know about the baby controller. I prefer to manage them by hand, except for the all of the footstomping and handwaving that accompanies bottle-feeding on the floor.)

Wait what, buying the high chair is harmful to the Sims? How or why?
It's pretty well worthless, I agree, except that you can take a few cute pictures that way. Frankly, there aren't that many interesting or original pictures you can take of toddlers. High chair pictures change it up.
I actually don't mind buy wants if my Sims can afford them, for the same reason Pescado stated. Sometimes it is the only way to get them some aspiration points. I know some people who buy stuff and then stick it in an inaccessible basement so the Sims won't roll it again: if you're sick of seeing "Buy a High Chair," just buy them one and hide it.
DrNerd:
I think I've had a toddler use the high chair exactly once, and it was because the Servo put the spawnlet in there while I was otherwise occupied. It's not like they don't learn to eat food if you don't use the high chair.
When it comes to annoying Wants to "BUY ME STUFF" I've found that the best thing to do is buy it for them, and then stick the object somewhere inaccessible, like an attic, a doorless room, a room locked for everyone, anyplace like that. The advantage is that they get the Aspiration from having gotten it, but won't be able to use it, and since it's still on the lot, they won't roll Wants to buy that specific object again. They'll just roll "BUY ME DIFFERENT STUFF" Wants.

Yes, I have that one.
The problem with putting things in an inaccessible basement is when they live in tiny apartments and don't have room in the apartment for the stuff, let alone a basement where I can stick it.
