I think because we are in an apartment and limited on space anyway, I will continue without buying a free standing chair. This was very helpful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-always-only-had-a-booster#post-2381849 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 13:37:47 +0000 Raindrop 2381849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only used the fisher price thing too. </p> <p>Wow @Freckles: that looks amazing!!! *adds it to amazon shopping cart*. Our kid does the same as @Adira: at home, he didn't start doing that till almost 2 though. Sometimes he just stands on the chair or even sits on our laps because we spoil him probably. :)</p> <p>At restaurants we use their booster or put two chairs stacked on each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-always-only-had-a-booster#post-2381839 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 13:29:40 +0000 Corduroy 2381839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the FP booster seat. LO is almost 3 and still uses it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I like that she needs a little help to get out of it (she can't push away from the table herself) which gives us an opportunity to make sure her hands are wiped before she runs away to play. I don't think we'll get another seat before she just sits in the chair.</p> <p>We just got another one for LO2 (6 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-always-only-had-a-booster#post-2381786 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 12:56:34 +0000 Adira 2381786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a booster seat for Xander from the get-go (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-SpaceSaver-Chair-Rainforest-Friends/dp/B00CBVHLWQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-SpaceSaver-Chair-Rainforest-Friends/dp/B00CBVHLWQ</a>) but he stopped wanting to use it around 18 months. He would just kneel on a regular chair. </p> [attach=340/15/nz1wia.400x600.Xander_20140901.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-always-only-had-a-booster#post-2381764 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 12:46:01 +0000 Smurfette 2381764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the same booster as Freckles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-always-only-had-a-booster#post-2381715 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 12:24:25 +0000 Mamaof2 2381715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@teawithpaloma: We went from using a clip on chair to them sitting on their knees - it was their preference. Maybe see how your LO feels about sitting that way? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-always-only-had-a-booster#post-2381684 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 12:09:02 +0000 teawithpaloma 2381684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Ugh, that's where we are too. Maybe I'll scour the local craigslist until a good deal comes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-always-only-had-a-booster#post-2381668 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 12:05:00 +0000 Freckles 2381668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@teawithpaloma: she doesn't mind it because she rests her feet on the dining chair. (Pic below, don't mind our ugly chairs haha) DH was worried there were no straps but it sticks to the seat pretty well. </p> <p>I wish I bought a stokke from the beginning. Now there is no point! DS is 1 and in the FP booster now, and we will probably buy another oxo booster when he is bigger. </p> [attach=2462/15/nz1u4d.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-always-only-had-a-booster#post-2381654 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 11:57:04 +0000 teawithpaloma 2381654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Oh that looks great, and of course, much cheaper! Does she complain about her legs dangling? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-always-only-had-a-booster#post-2381629 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 11:48:49 +0000 Freckles 2381629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was contemplating getting a stokke later on as well but just got an oxo booster instead and it works well with our dining chairs. We got it when she was a little over 3. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Perch-Foldable-Booster-Kids/dp/B0067GKHHM" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Perch-Foldable-Booster-Kids/dp/B0067GKHHM</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-always-only-had-a-booster#post-2381621 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 11:45:21 +0000 teawithpaloma 2381621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always used the same Fisher-Price booster seat since my DD was 5 months old. She still will sit there for meals and some snacks but she also likes to climb up onto the regular chairs and at 21 months can basically do a lot of eating at our table in the kitchen. She probably couldn't reach at our real dining room table but we hardly ever sit there unless guests are over. Though, now that I think about it we will need to sit there in a year when the new baby is old enough because the kitchen table only fits 3. </p> <p>So, if you've only had a booster, did you ever get a stokke or other more comfortable chair for a toddler? Am I going to reach a practical shelf life for the booster or did you keep using through the late toddler stage? Is it worth it to get a higher end stokke at this point? </p> [attach=5258/15/nz1t7m.243x263.Capture.JPG]
