Travel Highchairs - Buy Online

A portable highchair, or booster seat is always
useful for those moments when you need to pop in
the car and not have to worry about how you are
going to deal with mealtimes. Travel highchairs or
booster seats don't only have to be used at meal
times and can be a useful addition. Some travel
highchairs simply strap onto most chairs (or attach
to the table in the case of the Table Seat) so
they're definitely worth thinking about if you travel,
eat out a lot (and don't always want to go to
kiddie-friendly restaurants or friends) or don't have
much space in your kitchen.

What to look for:

Look for support for babies, comfortable seat padding, soft or rounded edges and
plenty of room for growth. Some models offer additional accessories.

Is it adjustable?

Does it allow for different seat/table heights and ages of child? Does it fit most chairs?
Does it recline?

Is it easy to clean?

More crucial than you might think, unless of course someone else is going to be doing
the cleaning. This isn't just a wood versus plastic question, but look out for hidden
crevices and whether it's pvc/wipe clean/machine washable?

How portable is it?

Can it be squished into your bag or is it portable but too unwieldy to hang on the back
of the pushchair?

Is it safe?

Is the child going to be secure? All portable models recommend that the child is
supervised at all times - as it's fairly common for disgruntled toddlers to use the table
in front of them for leverage and this can mean the chair (and child) tipping over and
no amount of straps can stop that. Nevertheless look out for a sturdy straps and a
proper harness (or the possibility of attaching one) that secures your child firmly
across the hips and between the legs; this way your child can't stand up or slip off
the chair.
