El ejemplo me parece un poco extraño. "Sentarse" connota voluntad, ¿no? ¿No sería que "Sentaron al niño en su periquera para comer"?

Interesante... Cuando leí tu comento, traté a imaginar un niño escalando a una periquera. No lo pude. No soy una madre, pero pienso que un niño que tiene edad suficiente para sentarse por sí mismo necesita una asiento "booster". ¿Cómo se dice "booster seat" en español?

En español floridiano es "un booster seat".

Mi amiga de Perú dice que en Perú no usa "periquera". Ella nunca ha oído de él. Ella dice que en Perú, se dice "sellita para bebé".

Mis hijos siempre se subían solitos en la periquera después cuando tenían como un año o un año y medio de edad. O eran niños muy hambrientos o muy hábiles...No sería en Peru "sillita" y no "sellita?"

O quizás
El niño estuvo sentado en su periquera para comer


Siempre al cruzar a mi amigo que trabajaba en un restaurante yo veía unos niños estaban sentados en las periqueras para comer. Usualmente no comían, sino que más bien tiraban la comida a los pobres camareros

I've never heard "periquera" before. Is it really used with this meaning somewhere? I can't even find this word with this meaning in the RAE. We say "trona". As fas as I know, "booster seat" is not used here, either (or at least, I've never heard it).

También no lo encontré en mi diccionario

Trono (m) = throne
Trona (f)= booster seat

No hay una trona que sea limpia después los niños coman

A la silla de bebé se le llama "periquera" (al menos en México), supongo, porque recuerda las perchas en las que se posan los pericos... (aunque también podría ser porque los niños tiran la comida, igual que los pericos).

I've never heard of this word before. So only in mexico it seems that is use.
Personally, here I have only hear "silla alta" or like someone said "silla para bebes"

Yo siempre lo he llamado trona. A veces digo silla alta, pero porque estoy traduciendo directamente de inglés.
