when do they stop smearing food everywhere?

We have the Fisher Price Health Care Deluxe booster seats but the chairs they are attached to (which come from our dining room set) are getting trashed!  The girls crush food, smear it all over and of course throw it.

When does this stop?  I am wondering if we should get some cheapie chairs to attach the boosters to until then.  I can't imagine buying high chairs now would be worthwhile.

Ugh.

My twins are 2 months shy of 2.5 years old and they still make a HUGE mess.

 

We use chairs similar to yours at my parents house and we have them attached to folding chairs because of the mess they make!

Ditto PP. My 23 month old has ruined one of our chairs (he's in a FP spacesaver highchair). I figure, oh well, it's just an inexpensive Craigslist set but I will be looking for cheaper chairs to put the twins' chairs on.

Thanks, ladies.  MH is going out today to try to find cheapie chairs.  I hope he's able to find the counter/bar height like we have now!

when we visited my husband's family his aunt just put towels down on the seats of the chairs before putting the boosters on them, to protect the upholstery. Perhaps you could rig up a cheapie slipcover, like a shower curtain or something?

We just got the fp space savers. We have a pub table and white chairs (bad move). Anyway, for six bux i got two changing table flat covers. Not the ones that wrap around the pad. I laid them on the chair and they perfectly cover the apolstry (sp?). If I didnt get those covers, we have two really old chairs we were going to use, but they wouldn't be table height.
do you have the store Garden Ridge near you? They sell individual chairs at a decent price and they have tall bar height ones too.

We ended up getting some Chicco high chairs on clearance today.  We'll save the boosters for vacation/grandparents' houses.

Thanks girls!
