This is a re-post of one of many articles I wrote while publishing a site titled thDad.com [my thoughts & experiences about being a father]. I have since retired the site and removed the content, but this post in particular was the end result for many searches. As such I want to preserve it here, my primary online presence, for future reference. Enjoy and I hope it is useful....

Pros:

  • Very well made and solid construction.
  • One set of straps goes underneath the chair while another set goes behind it and they are adjustable to fit securely on pretty much any kind of chair.
  • The tray comes with a base flat tray, an inserted tray with divided spaces and a lid to keep food in its place at least until you get back home.
  • The plastic tray is extremely easy to clean off.
  • The back folds down and the trays then clip on top to provide a nice, compact method of carrying it around.

Cons:

  • The seat back is very low which allows for a lot of wiggling and squirming, which can make it difficult to feed a little one that doesn’t want to eat at that very moment.

Summary:
I used to always keep this in the car and used it frequently at family get-togethers. There was no way my daughter would have sat down and eaten at family functions without this booster seat. She would be way too busy running around. ;-) We didn't eat out much, but on the occasions where we have this chair beats the heck out of the ones provided in the restaurants! You know the ones I’m referring too, the tall wooden ones with one little strap that goes across their lap [and is broken most of the time] to supposedly hold them in place. The one time I tried one of those it didn't work at all. If you take your little one anywhere outside of the home where you’ll be feeding them, this is a must-have item!

Go get it!
