Quickie Product Review

We love our nifty booster/high chair.
Here's why:

10. Aunt Nancy gave it to us.
9. It fits nicely on a regular dining room chair, saving space in our small apartment.
8. It folds down to a decent, packable size for trips.
7. The tray is removeable so it can be pushed right up to any table.
6. It's pretty colors.
5. The tray has two layers, one with a cup depression and one flat.
4. You can get the top level all dirty and toss it aside and have a clean level underneath to mess up before you have to seriously wash anything.
3. There's a lid that snaps onto the tray so you can put food on it and stick it in the fridge, or just keep it clean en route to grammie's house.
2. It has no fabric bits for food to stick on forever and get really gross.

and the number one reason we love our booster/high chair:

1. The ENTIRE thing is dishwasher safe.

I've been salivating over that high chair for a while, most because of your #9 reason. Now that I know the rest, I'm definitely buying it. Thanks!

At one time we owned, I think, three of those booster/high chair combos: one in the car, one on the back deck, one on the front porch. I've passed them on to other friends now but they sure were handy. If I were having another baby in the family I'm not sure I'd get a big high chair, actually, as those were far superior--less hassle and easier to clean.

We had to abandon it, finally, when Curious Girl was close to 3, and decided that such chairs were for babies, and she was not a baby anymore. All well and good except that she's way too short to reach her food without some sort of booster. So I found another type of booster seat, without any buckles or even slots for buckles, at a used kids' stuff store, and she pronounced it an "up up seat." And up up seats are very different from baby booster seats, so she still uses it.

We have the same exact chair as a portable for Gabriel! We also have the big wooden high chair in the house, but when on-the-go (which we are quite a bit) I absolutely love this chair. The ease to carry with a shoulder strap is a *huge* usefulness factor as my arms are always full.

Hi! Can you tell me what kind of highchair/booster that is, and where I can get one?? You recommended my Ambybaby hammock to me btw, and it's the best thing I got for Persephone =)

I totally shouldn't have gotten my kids big highchairs. We got this type for D's house and I like them so much better. They are so much more convenient and easy to clean. I don't know how I missed these when I was high chair shopping.

Ooh! I'm beyond needing booster seats, but it's so cute :) We had a folding one (not that one) and it fell apart every time we used it.
