That way you don't have to pack them in your bag. We did this in July for my daughter who was about 14 months at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-feeding-booster-seat-when-traveling-by-plane#post-2352953 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 17:01:00 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2352953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok. going to have to buy one.

That's what we did when we visited family without a high chair. We fed him first and just sat him in a regular chair. Then when he was done, we put him down so we could eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-feeding-booster-seat-when-traveling-by-plane#post-2352542 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 14:08:14 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2352542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love not to bring more stuff, but I don't know if I'd be able to hold her for every single meal. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-feeding-booster-seat-when-traveling-by-plane#post-2352509 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 13:38:33 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2352509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a fabric one we bring if there isn't going to be one at our destination. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-feeding-booster-seat-when-traveling-by-plane#post-2352507 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 13:37:44 +0000 sunshineandsushi 2352507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought these when we had to fly to visit family - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/BRICA-Travel-Booster-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B004L2JJ6O" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/BRICA-Travel-Booster-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B004L2JJ6O</a>. Works great and we ended up keeping them in our car to use at restaurants. It folds flat, so takes up almost no room in luggage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-feeding-booster-seat-when-traveling-by-plane#post-2352492 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 13:32:08 +0000 hitchhiker 2352492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We brought our Inglesina fast chair with us a few times. It packs up pretty well. But we already had it--I wouldn't buy something just for a trip (but I am an under buyer!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-feeding-booster-seat-when-traveling-by-plane#post-2352478 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 13:28:46 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2352478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we went for about two weeks for a family visit I brought a Brica folding one and it ended up working perfectly for that. At grandparents' houses that we visit more frequently I have FP booster seat that stays there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-feeding-booster-seat-when-traveling-by-plane#post-2352472 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 13:26:36 +0000 regberadaisy 2352472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD2 is 14m and if I had to bring it on a plane I would leave it at home. If you really felt you need it you can buy a cheapie off CL and have your family pick it up for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-feeding-booster-seat-when-traveling-by-plane#post-2352471 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 13:26:31 +0000 Mrs D 2352471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkin Pie: Where are you traveling? We have done two things...1) purchased items off Amazon (we are prime) sent to the location and left there and 2) rented equipment.</p> <p>MIL will not allow us to store anything at their condo (ridiculous) so we rent when we visit Naples. There is a great store there - most resort towns have something similar. I am renting a crib, pnp, booster and basket of toys for $85/week this time around. </p> <p>My parents allow us to leave universal items. So over the years we have collectively left a booster, pnp, umbrella stroller, water rafts and smaller toys at their condos. We have 4 grandkids on my dads side and like 10+ on my moms side...so plenty of mama's buying things to leave behind and let the others use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-feeding-booster-seat-when-traveling-by-plane#post-2352470 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 13:26:30 +0000 erinbaderin 2352470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the grandparents bought cheap high chairs, but when we went on vacation to Vegas we took the Phil and Ted clip on high chair and it worked great.</p> <p>Depending on where your parents are you might also be able to rent stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-feeding-booster-seat-when-traveling-by-plane#post-2352451 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 13:15:33 +0000 CakeLady 2352451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the past we bought cheap highchairs/boosters on amazon and had them delivered to our destination or borrowed from a family member. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-feeding-booster-seat-when-traveling-by-plane#post-2352413 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 13:02:23 +0000 MrsRcCar 2352413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No need to travel with them for us.

DS either sat on a chair and has his plate on the chair too, or we put his plate on a coffee table and DS stands and eats. He's never been a messy eater, so that was never an issue. At my parents, they have a playpen and highchair. They bought cheap ones at a yard sale since we usually spend a month at a time there. I always figure the less I can travel with, the better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-feeding-booster-seat-when-traveling-by-plane#post-2352378 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 12:35:57 +0000 yoursilverlining 2352378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never did, we just held her to feed at that age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-feeding-booster-seat-when-traveling-by-plane#post-2352376 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 12:31:45 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2352376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll be traveling with my 14 month old for christmas, visiting family. My parents don't have any baby stuff, so I'm trying to figure out what I'll need to pack/buy. What do you guys usually do for feedings? We always put her in the high chair at home, and wonder if we'll need to bring a booster. </p>
