We have two big trips coming up this fall where we are staying at airbnbs and won't have a highchair. Our DD is 18 months and 23 lbs. any reccomendations? Obviously not huge/ bulky is a benefit.
-
The Phil and Ted lobster is hard to beat. Or the Fisher Price booster.
-
Love the inglesina chair. We bring it to our friends houses and to restaurants no problem. We are planning on bringing it on our next vacation too
ETA- I got it on a b/s/t groups on fb for a steal. And DS is 23 pounds and has tons of room. Goes up to 37 lbs -
We started using a booster seat (with straps, and straps to chair) for travel at 13 months. She did really well and it's something I knew we would be able to get years of use out of. We got the Prince Lionheart one and have been using it for a year now: https://www.amazon.com/Prince-Lionheart-BoosterPOD-Sierra-Brown/dp/B005ZBHXP4

I second the Phil and Teds lobster. We use it as our normal high chair and have traveled with it many times.
-
Phil & Teds lobster, but make sure the homes you're staying in have a table or counter it can be used on. I brought ours the whole way to grand Cayman once (stayed in a condo rental) to find out when I got there that the tables had a double lip which you're not supposed to use it with (can't get as good of a grip). That was disappointing.
-
We have the Guzzie and guss chair and love it! The entire fabric part can be removed for ease of washing. We tried the lobster chair but the leg openings seemed small.
-
My best friend bought my DS one for her wedding back in March since he was the only "baby" there. We bring it with us to the coffee shop we frequent a lot and we flew with it on our last vacation. We like it pretty well. (He's almost 22 mo & 24lbs)
-
We love the Inglesina as well.
-
Love our inglesina. It has travelled all over. It also has a hidden travel cover I didn't discover until DD was 11 months old.
Also we use it as our primary high chair now; it lives on our island (we also have a full sized high chair) -
Fourthing the Phil and Ted lobster.
-
We have the cloth one. My Little Seat or something like that. I don't like it.
-
are you driving or flying? when i drive to visit family, i used to pack up my IKEA antilop. the legs come out easy, the seat is small, so it is easy to pack in the car. my mom ended up buying one to keep at her place, otherwise i would still bring it. it would be too bulky to fly with though.
-
@californiadreams: flying for one. Driving for the other.
Thanks all, looking into the type of tables.
-
We have this one from Chicco and it is awesome! Attaches to almost any chair and folds down super small and light. And it's got a tray! The big tip I give is that it comes with a big plastic piece that attaches to the tray and goes between baby's legs - don't attach that piece! Just throw it out. There's a crotch strap, so you don't really need it, and if you attach it, you can't take it off and it won't fold down as small.
-
We have the cheap summer infant one; inexpensive and does that job and folds up!
-
ETA: I like that the tray tucks into the bottom of the chair so you have the option to use it or not.
I bought this one on a whim and we really like it:
-
@JenGirl: Ah! If only I'd known that before I put that stupid piece on.... Maybe I can figure out how to remove it. You're quite right though, that's my only real complaint about that chair.
We won it in a raffle and it has been amazing. Height adjustable, can be secured to any chair an adult can sit in, Folds down small and completely wipeable. Tray is totally optional.
Plus, the seat is fairly small, so my 21 mo loves to climb up the kitchen chair and then sit in the booster without assistance.
-
@codeitall: Yup. The one and only time my OCD reading of reviews before purchasing paid off - somebody else suggested not snapping on the crotch piece. I bet you could get it off with some power tools!
-
@JenGirl: ok sold- this seems like the best fit for what we need- love that it has a tray.@codeitall: thanks!
