XP: Fisher-Price Booster Seat Question

angiek

I posted this on the 9-12 month board, but wondering if anyone here has any input??

With the busy summer months coming up & a lot of traveling planned for us, I am looking at getting my boys (currently 9 months old) each a travel high chair/booster seat.  I have narrowed it down, based on reviews, to one of these two Fisher-Price Booster Seats:

Fisher-Price Healthy Care Deluxe Booster Seat

vs.

Fisher-Price Healthy Care Booster Seat

There is about a $10 price difference on Amazon, so I?m wondering if the deluxe model is worth the extra price for 2 or not.  It appears the benefits of the deluxe model are that it has three height adjustment settings and removable tray inserts.

Does anyone have experience with either of these booster seats?  What is your recommendation?

TIA!

I have two of the deluxe model and wish I bought the basic model instead.  I don't have a dishwasher so I don't have the benefit of using the removable tray in the dishwasher. My girls are messy eaters so I don't use the removable tray because I would have to wash both the removable tray and the snap on tray.  

 If you are travelling to visit family where they have a dishwasher and where your babies may eat at tables of various heights (even in restaurants?), it may be worthwhile to have the deluxe model.

I have two of the $20 models.

They are great- I keep them in my car at all times and we use them everywhere.  We travel and we also eat dinner with friends, family, etc. so they are super convenient.  I wouldn't spend anymore than $20.

I was gifted 2 deluxes at my baby shower and we use them all the time. I like that it grows with the babies. We use one now in our kitchen while the other baby is still in the high chair and we store one in our car when we go out to eat. When we are out,one baby will use the restaurant high chair and one will use the booster seat. This helps a great deal, b/c hosts usually put us in booths and stick the babies on the end and 2 high chairs never fit side by side, so with one in a reg chair w/booster and one in the high chair (we have a tiny diner mat), it works out great.

We have the regular ones and love them.  We still use them with the trays, so the adjustable height part wouldn't add much.  Also, as pp said, even if we had multiple trays, we'd still have to wash the main one, so the basic one actually saves me work. :-)
