Not sure about others but I know that the Lobster isn’t supposed to be used with a beveled edge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-hook-on-high-chair#post-2813846 Tue, 03 Apr 2018 07:37:13 +0000 Jennibenni 2813846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @birdofafeather: Good point about fit!

A hook on chair is great for space saving, plus it’s so easy to clean the ground underneath because you don’t need to move the chair legs or anything. I highly recommend one with a tray that attaches. </p> <p>We had the Chicco 360. It hooked on securely and the tray was very secure and a decent size. But the seat cover was pretty annoying to remove and put back on, and good got caught in the track that you could spin the seat in- every few months I took a toothpick to it to pick out the trapped dried food. It was good but had some down sides. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00YWHYX00" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00YWHYX00</a></p> <p>My friend has a lobster chair- Phil and teds I think? She uses it with the tray and it seems a little easier to clean overall. Also check your counter depths- mine barely fit the chicco one but I think the Phil and Teds is shorter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-hook-on-high-chair#post-2813772 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 17:04:37 +0000 MsMini 2813772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the summer infant one (that was sold 5 1/2 years ago LOL) it’s held up well though we just use it occasionally. It cones apart to wash ok. I can’t think if it has much of a gap when set up though. It cones with a tray and can also be strapped to a chair to use as a booster as well which has come in handy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-hook-on-high-chair#post-2813754 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 16:04:37 +0000 Mrs. Starfish 2813754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have the Inglesina. In all honesty, our nanny hates them so much that she got the girls separate booster chairs as soon as they started solids in earnest! </p> <p>As others have said, there is a big gap that causes a lot of food to fall on the floor. We bought the tray and it helps but it was annoying to me that the tray wasn't included standard. I also find it really annoying and time-consuming to remove the chair for washing. Maybe my kiddos are messier than others or I'm just not as efficient as pulling it off and re-assembling. All that said, the biggest pros in my mind are the space-saving and the portability for travel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-hook-on-high-chair#post-2813722 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 14:46:50 +0000 Kemma 2813722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love our Phil &amp; Ted’s clip on high chair! It’s not the easiest thing to clean but we’ve had it for five years and it’s still in great condition! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-hook-on-high-chair#post-2813716 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 14:34:10 +0000 psw27 2813716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Ingelisina as well. Same complaint - food does fall to the floor. But it has gotten its money's worth and it washes well in the washing machine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-hook-on-high-chair#post-2813710 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 14:22:34 +0000 Mommy Finger 2813710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for the Inglesina! My only complaint is that there is about an inch gap between the table and the chair so it's easy for food to be pushed on the ground. We bought the tray that they offer thinking it might help with that but it didn't really fit so we didn't use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-hook-on-high-chair#post-2813696 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 13:46:04 +0000 Mrsbells 2813696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennibenni: @BadgerMom: Got it!

My nanny was able to make it sparkle just with a damp rag though.<br /> it attaches to most tables and counters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-hook-on-high-chair#post-2813688 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 13:34:32 +0000 BadgerMom 2813688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They don’t make these anymore but if you can find a hand me down they are totally worth it. I think they’re way easier to use and clean and can be used longer than the ones they make today. </p> <p>Graco Tot-Loc </p> [attach=4158/18/p6km9k.300x300.62CC6D61-F143-4AC8-A7A1-A7AEFE6A1AFA.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-hook-on-high-chair#post-2813685 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 13:32:43 +0000 Jennibenni 2813685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: 😝 It sort of clamps/hooks to the table or island, which functions as the tray. So it’s suspended from the top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-hook-on-high-chair#post-2813681 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 13:27:45 +0000 Mrsbells 2813681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennibenni: oh ok.

Its great for traveling too. After 5 years of using it we bought a stand alone high chair that can also function as a booster i thunk its eddie bauer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-hook-on-high-chair#post-2813666 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 13:06:41 +0000 bhbee 2813666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the inglesina fast chair, no complaints (but not sure it’s the best either!). The cover is pretty easy to get off and wash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-hook-on-high-chair#post-2813660 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 13:01:38 +0000 Jennibenni 2813660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m planning to get a hook on high chair when we start solids next month. Any favorites or ones to avoid? </p>
