anyone use a clip-on high chair?

We have this clip-on high chair that we bought a long time ago and have never used.  When we take DD to a restaurant, often the table is SO high that it's hard for her to reach food from the restaurant high chair.  I'd love to get some use out of this clip-on thingy we have as I know it will put her at a better height on the table, but DH is concerned it'll tip a table over.  She's probably between 16 and 17lbs at this point, so still pretty light.  Plus I remember my mom putting my brother in one of these high chairs and he's 29 so if they weren't safe I can't imagine they'd still be around all these years later.  I'd hate to think we've wasted 80 bucks on one of these.  Anyone use one and have any thoughts?

I think that as long as the table is secure, you should be fine. I'd ask for a booth where ever possible and see if I could attach it above the bench next to you as opposed to on the end.

 

We're planning on getting this one for Christmas. Mainly for visiting family & friends who don't have high chairs. Most of them have bars that we plan to attach it to though, not tables.

 

 

Edit for spelling.

We have this one: https://www.target.com/p/Chicco-360-Rotating-Hook-On-Chair-in-Miro/-/A-12202195

And LOVE it! We use it for everyday and it also packs up nicely for restaurants and such. As long as you install it correctly and I don't see a safety issue (and use the safety buckles.)

We have a Chicco one and love it. We keep it in the car and use it when visiting people, at restaurants, and on picnic tables at parks. It washes really well too!

My kid is 14 months and about 20 pounds. We used a clip on (Inglesina Fast) at home exclusively for the first year; now we use it sometimes and a booster at the table sometimes. We have never had a problem with it.

We have this one too and love it.  DS is heavy (28lbs) and we've never had any problems with tipping.
