Do you use them?
I keep thinking DS is ready for them but he seems to hate them. Also, I feel like they are just HUGE in comparison to him. The one time I got them to work I had to put a blanket behind him and then he proceeded to rock back and forth in an attempt to tip over the chair. So essentially we don't use them, but I would like it. Am I doing something wrong?
For neighborhood restaurnts we bring his space saver highchair and just strap it on a chair, but DH finds this embarssing for some reason.
Re: Restaurant Highchairs
Wow to taking your space saver... I'm kind of with your DH on that one!
Do you have one of those shopping cart covers? They also work on high chairs.
In general, restaurant high chairs skeeve me out, so if I forget the seat cover, I just hold DS.
We don't have a Village Inn any more But yes we also use restaurant high chairs. I keep a stash of child safe sani wipes in the diaper bag and wipe them down if they are goobery.
This. The cover takes up the extra space.
DS does really well in them and loves sitting with us. We actually have the restaurant style highchairs for our home now for DD and DS and he does great in them. But he doesn't have a choice not to because that's all we have now.
We use them and DD seems to like them. We usually use the cover, although if you saw my HDBD picture you know that I forgot the other day, so I just wiped it down first.
I could care less about the germs from the high chairs. There is just sooo much extra space. Perhaps I could try a cart cover.
Is my kid the only one that tries to knock them over? Like the one time I put him in it successful he almost flipped backwards in all of five minutes.
It is super easy to take the space saver chair though! I have seen other couples do it, so that is how I got the idea ha ha.
ETA: ALSO I feel like DS is so short when I put him into it he barely comes up over the top of the table ha ha.

This is basically what I meant by bringing in the space saver seat and poeple made fun of me! Plus, this way he can eat on his own since I can put food on the tray (since I mentioned the table height doesn't usually work well for him).
Yeah, I didn't see the big deal about taking your own in. Not sure if the space saver is quite as convenient as this one, but if it works then I don't see a reason to stop. When she's bigger we might use the restaurant ones and the table, but for now I really like using ours and the tray.

We have this hook on high chair and its a very easy to set up works with 99% of tables and is easy to store. also, this way, they can sit at the table on the inside instead of in the aisle which makes me very nervous. It is very sturdy and our son who is almost 20 pounds loves it!

Oh, this is a good idea too and looks pretty portable. Thanks.
