Travel High Chairs

Raggedy1 · February 2013

Do you have a pair of travel high chairs? My sister uses a Fisher Price one with her singleton and loves it. Will two of those be cumbersome? I've read great reviews on the type that hang from the table (and are lightweight, like the Phil & Teds), does anyone here use those? Are these nice to have?

I'm trying to picture DH and I carrying our DDs into a restaurant and also carrying their high chairs and I want it to be as streamlined as possible.

I love, love, love the FP Healthy Care booster seats. They are great for traveling (and to have around the house). However, we never took them to restaurants, just to friend's houses around town or threw them in the van when going out of town (usually family's house or rental or some type). When we went to restaurants, we just used whatever high chairs they had. I had two high chair/shopping cart covers, but only used them once because it was such a pain to carry the kiddos and them.

I'd be a little careful with the ones that hang on the tables. I think there have been some recalls on them recently, but I didn't pay that much attention since we never had any.

If you have the space to store them then they might be nice to have. But we don't have any and I've never missed them. Most restaurants have highchairs, and only once did we need to wait a few minutes until two were available. Like you said, trying to carry all the gear, babies and two seats seems like a lot of work!

When we traveled to Hawaii we were able to rent high chairs from a rental place for the week.

We have the Chicco delux chair that hangs off the table and love it! We bring it to friends' and grandparents' houses when we visit. We rarely bring it to restaurants though. We just use their high chairs. I have also used the Phil and Ted's chair and really like that as well. The recall is fornan older model of the Phil and Ted's chair. I think it was missingthe rubber tips that kept it from sliding or they came off or something. We will definitely get a second Chicco or Phil and Ted's chair for the twins.

We have the chicco ones too. I like the chairs themselves, but we just didn't end up using them enough to justify buying them. My parents bought their own high chairs at a garage sale, and we take our Space Saver high chairs when we visit my OOT in-laws. I used the chicco chairs a few times at restaurants b/c the kids were far more comfortable in them than the wooden high chairs (when they were little), but they don't work on every table b/c a lot of tables have ledges underneath, and they're a PITA to bring in an set up. It's just easier to use the car seats - even when you can barely lift them - and then the restaurant ones when the kids can sit up.

We typically use restaurant high chairs. I was keeping a pair of cheap boosters in the car, but we are now using them instead of high chairs at home. I haven't decided about replacing the seats to carry. The ones we have stack, which was nice for travel.

We have the Chicco 360 and love it. With just one, it wasn't a hassle to bring in and out with us, but to bring in 2 on top of wrangling 2 babes and stuff would just be too much.
