I just bought a cheap <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4020341&amp;prodFindSrc=search">Fisher Price high chair cover</a> and it gets the job done. Ours is so old now that the Velcro doesn't really stick anymore but better than nothing. I just have to constantly pull it back out so it's covering the seat. I should just get a new one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-when-your-lo-sits-in-a-restaurant-high-chair#post-378253 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 23:14:19 +0000 T-Mom 378253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: really!? Fecal matter? That's so disgusting.. We do wipe down with anti bac but still this is disturbing... Maybe it's time to get a high chair cover... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-when-your-lo-sits-in-a-restaurant-high-chair#post-378248 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 23:10:14 +0000 erwoo 378248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest was always really good in restaurant high chairs in that I've never had to strap him in. I also use a high chair cover all the time, even now at 3.5 y.o. I did use what @T-Mom mentioned when he was younger and the tables were too high for him. It really kept him from standing up or tipping the chair. I highly recommend for containment and if you're concerned about high chair grossness. I once saw on the news about what's on restaurant high chairs and that was it for me. If I ever forget the cover, I wipe it down with antibacterial wipes as much as I can b/c fecal matter was mentioned as one of the findings on those chairs. :\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-when-your-lo-sits-in-a-restaurant-high-chair#post-378240 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 23:04:31 +0000 pinkcupcake 378240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I always end up holding her on my lap (but then I'm worried she will reach for something and spill/hurt herself). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-when-your-lo-sits-in-a-restaurant-high-chair#post-378236 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 22:59:28 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 378236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, but lots of the chairs here are not very safe at all! And he's always trying to escape... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-when-your-lo-sits-in-a-restaurant-high-chair#post-378164 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 21:50:57 +0000 T-Mom 378164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a lot of parents who bring something like this to restaurants so they don't have to worry about ill fitting or gross high chairs <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3553506" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3553506</a>. Or also the kind that clips to the side of the table. We just use the high chair and it gets better when they are bigger and also more interested in food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-when-your-lo-sits-in-a-restaurant-high-chair#post-378139 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 21:34:36 +0000 luckypenny 378139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! She slammed her head on the table the other day in the restaurant :'( it was awful </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-when-your-lo-sits-in-a-restaurant-high-chair#post-378134 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 21:31:01 +0000 MrsHotDog 378134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes it does! I always make sure to have a foot on the bottom so she doesn't tip back but I am still paranoid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-when-your-lo-sits-in-a-restaurant-high-chair#post-378131 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 21:29:25 +0000 autumnlove 378131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we go out and use restaurant high chairs...LO is able to wiggle, arch her back and almost fall out even when the harness is on. It makes me nervous so I always rush through my meal! </p>
