I wanted one of the fun colors but thought black might hide stains better :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2403163 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 13:17:39 +0000 MenagerieMama 2403163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the inglesia fast chair and love it. Use it full time and travel with it. Easy to throw in the wash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2403138 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 12:57:02 +0000 sorrycharlie 2403138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: ah okay that makes sense! we have that same mat, too, so I could always use that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2403131 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 12:48:54 +0000 edelweiss 2403131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: not a weird question! we used the tiny infant tiny diner placemat with the inglesina, which is wider than the space between the two arms of the inglesina, but we would just clamp the arms down on top of the edges of the placement.</p> <p>with the ezpz, i'm not sure what the width is of the raised portion so unfortunately i am no help there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2403126 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 12:44:07 +0000 Charm54 2403126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I don't think it would fit. The lobster tray is smaller than our high chair tray, and our ezpz doesn't fit on our high chair. It probably would fit sideways. I'm excited for the mini too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2403119 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 12:42:30 +0000 winniebee 2403119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a chico which is fine. My biggest complaint is it is difficult to take the fabric off to wash. My MIL has an inglesia (sp?) and it's awesome. BUT if you have a lip under your table it might not work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2403112 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 12:40:49 +0000 sorrycharlie 2403112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: @edelweiss: okay so - weird q. the phil and ted's has a tray, do you guys know if an ezpz mat would fit (maybe sideways?!) between the grips? the ezpz mini mats are still OOS everywhere :( the other thing I was curious about was if the chair could actually hook/clamp right over the sides of the ezpz mat on the table? if that makes any sense..</p> <p>edit - asking about the inglesina :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2403022 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 11:29:56 +0000 Charm54 2403022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like our lobster. It should work fine on your table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2403019 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 11:27:20 +0000 Alivoo01 2403019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Inglesina and I really like it! It's pretty secure, but like other hook on chairs, it doesn't fit on tables with large lips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2402970 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 11:06:58 +0000 LuLu Mom 2402970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I think it would work for sure on the left side! Ours is more like the attached picture which is why it doesn't work! </p> [attach=1477/15/o04nfm.600x480.table.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2402937 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:48:23 +0000 hellobeeboston 2402937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Phil &amp; Ted's Lobster chair is THE BEST. It's great to have at home, and travel with, it collapses and is easy to clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2402931 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:44:30 +0000 edelweiss 2402931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: just saw the picture you posted--i think either the phil &amp; ted lobster or the inglesina should fit fine, especially on the side with more flat space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2402930 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:43:36 +0000 edelweiss 2402930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have the inglesina fast chair. we used it when eating out, and really liked it--there were a couple of tables it didn't work on, in which case we used the restaurant's high chair. </p> <p>it does fit tables with an "apron" or "lip", but not all of them, depending on where the apron/lip is positioned and how thick it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2402918 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:40:03 +0000 sorrycharlie 2402918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: This is the underside. Any chance that looks like it may fit on either end? </p> [attach=1296/15/o04m6s.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2402915 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:38:22 +0000 sorrycharlie 2402915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: I think Target has that one (or similar?). That's the one I was considering! I had it in my hands and was like "ehhh I don't NEED another seat..." but gosh if she isn't busy, quiet and sneaky. I do need something if I want to save my sanity, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2402867 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:17:08 +0000 regberadaisy 2402867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You just have to be careful that the hook depth is wide enough for your table lip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2402861 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:14:58 +0000 Foodnerd81 2402861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: depends on the chair- the chicco ones need to go further in than 5 inches but can go under and around the part that sticks down (is it called an apron?). You might need to buy and couple and try them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2402844 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:08:46 +0000 sorrycharlie 2402844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so where I would put her (the head of the table) has a large flat area. the sides of the table have a 5" or so flat area (for the chair to hook?).</p> <p>how much room do you need, ideally? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2402837 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:05:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 2402837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a table, just a kitchen island for eating, so we use a hook on chair exclusively. It feels very stable, I've never been worried about it falling or anything. And I like that she is right at the table with us. </p> <p>We use the chicco 360 chair, mainly because it fit with the depth of the counter lip, and came with a tray that snaps on. Overall I like it but it hasn't held up as well as I would like, it's annoying to clean (the seat itself goes in the wash but the rest gets food stuck in crevices), and it seems like she is really pushing the weight limit right now, even though the seat says it goes to 35 lbs and she only weighs 28. But we have been using it daily for almost 2 years so we got our money's worth. </p> <p>So I would recommend a hook on chair, just not necessarily mine. The Phil and teds lobster seat seems really popular. Also look at how it will attach to your table- if it a deep lip or something you may need one brand over another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2402834 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:03:49 +0000 LuLu Mom 2402834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one that we use for restaurants/other places. It wouldn't work on our kitchen table because it has a "lip" and it wouldn't be able to slide far enough on (if that makes sense) </p> <p>We have this Chicco one: <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2265745&#038;camp=PLAPPCG-_-PID2789178:BRUS&#038;cagpspn=plab_2789178&#038;eESource=CAPLA_DF:2265745:TRUS" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2265745&#038;camp=PLAPPCG-_-PID2789178:BRUS&#038;cagpspn=plab_2789178&#038;eESource=CAPLA_DF:2265745:TRUS</a> </p> <p>I do love it for travel though, and not working about if my petite thing will fit in a restaurant high chair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2402833 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:03:28 +0000 erinbaderin 2402833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Phil and Ted's and like it a lot. We use it for our traveling high chair and keep it in the car, but I have friends who use it exclusively. Down sides - it won't work if your table isn't totally flat underneath, and the tray doesn't really lock in so if you have a mischievous baby they can throw it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hook-on-high-chairs#post-2402816 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 09:44:52 +0000 sorrycharlie 2402816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if you have one - tell me about them. good or bad!</p> <p>my LO (almost 1!) has the older style fisher price space saver high chair, which has served us well, but doesn't fit under the table (so she can't join us at the table). in addition, she can shove off the table and almost flips over backward. </p> <p>I like the idea of a hook on seat (because even if I get a "shorter" high chair, she could still push off the table) but they scare me! ha! how secure are they? </p>
