Does anyone have either of these chairs?
I'm planning to get one for my LO, but am not sure what the difference is between the Phil&Teds lobster chair and the Inglesina chair...other than the $30 price difference!
-
I'm getting the Inglesina! Got it for $25 on Nobetterdeal!!!! I think they both accommodate tables with a apron. I saw good reviews for the inglesina as well so chose it for the lower price. I'll let you know what I think when it arrives!
-
@regberadaisy: whoa $25 is a great deal! I'd love to hear tour thoughts on it once you've used it a bit!
-
We have the Fast and love it. I think we get at least one compliment on it everytime we use it! We started using it with LO at about 4 months just to have her at the table, and now at 7 months it works for sharing our meals too. She would probably still be too small for some restaurant high chairs, and often they are a bit too low for the table.
We looked at the lobster, but saw some reviews that it didn't work with as many tables (depending on whether the table had a lip, etc).
-
What about the Chicco? Not sure the difference in them all but we've been happy with purs
-
We had the Phil & Ted lobster chair and love it! We had the Chicco chair but had to send it back. The lobster fit on more tables I thought. Our table had and extra leaf that folded into it so the chairs like the Chicco didn't work.
-
Thanks for your input everyone!
@KayKay: Do you miss having a tray with the Fast? I'm wondering if this is something I'll wish it had when we use it in restaurants.
-
@BetsyBoop we haven't missed having the tray, but I'm not much of a germophobe. we usually wipe down the table with a wipe and call it good. i have considered looking for some sort of easily portable placemat that we could use, but i have a feeling LO would figure out how to lift it and play with that more than eat.
-
@betsyboop: there's an open box lobster on no better deal right now for $36 = )

I have the lobster and we LOVE it! Been using it since Lo was 7 months old. She's almost 20 mos now. We'll probably use it until she's 2.5 and then we'll seat baby boy in it.
-
So my Inglesina came and I really like it! I think it's sturdy construction and the seat has a lot of padding. Easy to use etc. unfortunately I have to send it back because the clamp depth is not deep enough for my table. Which means neither is the lobster or metoo. The only one that will work for my table is the Chicco.
Are there any other clip ones besides the inglesina, lobster, metoo and Chicco?
-
My MIL has the inglesina and we have the chicco - for right now my son fits in the inglesina better. The Chicco is a little bigger so I can see it being better when he is a toddler (he's 6 months)
-
@regberadaisy: That's a bummer about not being able to use the Inglesina. We went with that one as well and love it so far! We still haven't used it in a restaurant but it works well at our kitchen counter. I haven't heard of any other clip on high chairs. I think the Chicco one got good reviews though?
-
@betsyboop: does your table have an apron? Ours does and that's why the chicco is the only one that works for us. The others don't go past the apron.
-
@Mrs. Pen: Nope, no apron. We use the chair for our kitchen counter, which is about an inch thick.
-
@mrs. bird: Somehow I missed this, I totally would have gone for that! Thanks though!
-
@betsyboop: oooh then I would totally suggest the phil and teds. I wanted it so badly but it wouldn't have worked with our table.
