Any parents can recommend their methods?
My girl will sit. After 5 mins she wants to get out of her chair.

im not sure if this works for you, but i gave small toys for my son to play with while he eats. try to give different toys at every meal. alternatively play their favourite cartoon show on tv while they feed.

Favourite toys, books, simply anything that your girl likes to play with. Just to get her distracted while eating.
For my boy, playhouse disney channel and his 2 small bikes work wonders!
Try it!
Cheers!
Mummy of 2 soon!

We will put my DS on the high chair so he cant run anywhere. He will sit and eat his meal till he finish if not he wont be able to come down to play. We will at times on his cartoon for him if not his favourite book to read while we feed him. Now he self feed and sit beside us during dinner time. So far so good but still in his high chair

our solution (not the best but better than nothing):
let him sit on the living room floor (so he wont dirty the sofa) and watch educational children programs while eating.
and we try to delay his mealtime so when he's hungry, he'll eat faster.
now he's more willing to sit in the baby chair but must be watching tv.
when we dine out, he's amazingly 'good' cos he loves to play with the fork/spoons/cup/chopsticks. he'll pretend to be eating with us. sometimes when we nvr notice, he'll actually steal some food from us to eat!
