Baby Pony High Chairs...

[Taffeta]

So I have a question about high chairs that come with baby ponies. 

I know that Baby Gusty has a purple chair with a yellow tray in both US and UK releases.
I know that Baby Lickety has a yellow chair with a pink tray in both US and UK releases.

I also have a loose pink chair with a yellow tray. It is not faded from purple, but definitely pink. I am assuming that this is the high chair from the UK "High Chair and Bottle" Loving Family accessories, but the trouble is I can't find a MOC image to confirm this and the box art shows a chair like Baby Lickety's. I only had Playpen and Duck as a child, so I don't know for sure, although I have seen Trolley and Rattle MOC and that trolley/wagon is the same shade of pink as the chair I have.

I wanted to ask, therefore, if anyone can confirm that this chair is indeed from that set?

There are two versions of each of the loving family accessory sets. One of the high chairs is definitely pink (the other is yellow). I have seen both MOC to confirm this and probably saved the images, so I will see what I can find

[Taffeta]

That would help, thank you! I found it when going through my box of junk, but the art on the card is definitely yellow, like Lickety's...so I was confused xD

Ah! Yay, thank you! That's just what I was looking for. So I can file this chair under Loving Family Accessories and move on. Though I wonder if the yellow ones were surplus stock. It seems odd that they'd make a whole new colour and yet still release the yellow one? Maybe they got confused with which bit was meant to be which? Although that yellow one's tray looks suspiciously lavender? Is that just the photo? ><

Unless it's like the newborn twin seesaw that seems to be yellow/pink, blue/pink or yellow/aqua depending on who you ask or whose MIB pony you see!

This is really interesting!
I know I have 2 moc accessory things (I think it's the high chair and the wagon), but now I can't remember exactly what I have! I thought that there was only 3 things to collect, but now you say that there are color differences too.. yikes! When will I be able to complete this set.

Do someone have pictures of all the variations?

[LadyGuinevere]

I think it's pink, as it should match the tray on the yellow one. All three of the sets were released in two different colour sets. There is:

The two high chairs above
Yellow playpen, white duck
White playpen, yellow duck
Blue wagon with yellow wheels/handle, yellow and aqua rattle
Pink wagon with aqua wheels/handle, yellow and aqua rattle

So it almost looks intentional? I had the yellow high chair and blue wagon sets as a child.

[Taffeta]

I had the white playpen set as a child. I know that for sure as I bought it for Baby Sister Sweet Celebrations (my only family pony) and I didn't know till I was an adult collector that they made playpens in any colour other than white xD.  Ditto on the ducks - I didn't know about white ducks until I was online collecting. (I had a sheltered childhood, sigh...xD)

Maybe it is that way, because each family had 2 babies and they'd want kids to buy for both babies. If you think about it - 6 accessory sets, 6 family babies. It works out nicely for Hasbro profit doesn't it?

To add a question onto this thread, can anyone who has or has seen the accessories sets MOC confirm that the high chair is a darker yellow than Lickety-Splits?  Is it the same color as the yellow playpen from the loving families?

Also, I have a rattle that is BLUE with a yellow top, definitely not faded/yellowed aqua that I thought came with the loving families' blue wagon, or at least with one of the wagon sets.  Can anyone confirm?

[LadyMoondancer]

Dibbles and Nibbles came with blue and yellow rattle, could that be it?

I do have one of the wagons MOC, but the plastic is a bit yellowed, so it's hard to tell for sure, but I think it is darker blue than Dibbles and Nibbles (who I also had as a child). Would have to hunt out my originals to be sure on a comparison though. If you have a picture of yours I could try to compare?

On the yellow high chair I didn't think it was, but again, I would have to go looking to confirm either way. Assuming I still have Lickety Split's high chair. Never had the playpen, so can't compare for that.

I have saved pictures of all six sets over time, so will post them here. The rattle in the blue trolley and rattle set looks more greenish than my MOC one, so light may play a part too.

Those MOC photos are so helpful Lady Guinevere.  Thanks so much.  The rattles are definitely a different color from the one I have.  I'll try to get a photo of it alongside Dibbles and Nibbles' one to show the difference, but I won't be able to until the weekend.

I can't get at my Baby Lickety Split at the moment, she's at the back of my MIP shelf, but I did see my sister's loose chair recently and it was quite a light yellow in colour. THis is the pic from my website, which isn't my picture but is my MIB Baby Lickety - I don't know if it's clear enough (I might have a better one on the PC somewhere, but since my PC crash finding pictures is a bit of a nightmare!)

I don't have a clue about the BBE one, since I've never had one MIB.

. I never had any of the Loving Family sets MOC except the one I had as a kid, which was white pen yellow duck...so beyond that I'm not sure. Does it look like a match?

The wagons look like the ones for Baby Lofty and Baby Ribbon (?) from the BBE/Play and Care Set releases, which would make sense if there were surplus stock, and the yellow and white playpens would probably match Baby Heart Throb and Baby Applejack's. The only one that doesn't make sense to me is the pink high chair. Otherwise I would expect them to be the same shades as I would expect them to be Hasbro mostly using up what they had left from earlier releases.

The wagons are actually different colours from the US releases as well - a much darker pink and a very distinctive blue. The rattle is also blue and not aqua as released with the twins
