One day he decided he didn't want to use one anymore and hated the booster, so just always used a regular chair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boosters-at-restaurants#post-1455923 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 17:48:35 +0000 heffalump 1455923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never did. She went straight from high chairs to sitting in the seat (she is scared of a booster) at 2 1/2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boosters-at-restaurants#post-1455919 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 17:47:31 +0000 lemondrop 1455919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A year and 18 months were both disasters for us, and he is great in restaurant high chairs. He's finally doing better at 2, but we ended up buying a booster off Amazon that has a seat belt and chair buckles, so we can give him the illusion of being buckled in, which works best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boosters-at-restaurants#post-1455759 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:56:53 +0000 junebugmama 1455759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right around 2 for both, but they would whine like crazy in their high chairs. With the second one though, we've actually found it better just to let him stand in the booth next to DH. He will eat this way too with no complaints. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boosters-at-restaurants#post-1455721 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:47:18 +0000 HabesBabe 1455721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old was your LO when you started letting him/her sit on a booster at a restaurant? C will sit in a high chair during her meal, but is at that squirmy age where we either walk her around the restaurant after we order (if we're seated at a table), or let her sit in the booth next to us.</p> <p>I guess I don't want to ruin a good thing we've got with the high chair once the food comes (I've had friends whose kids would refuse the high chair after being able to eat "at the table") and I'm not sure if she could handle a full meal at this age (she's 19 months).</p> <p>Just a quick check to see when it worked for you guys! </p>
