Feeding at other people's houses

Ladies, with the holidays coming up, we are going to be eating dinner at a lot of different houses. How do you feed your highchair needing child at highchair-less houses?

jesselayne8 · November 2013

Depends on whose house it is. My parents and friends with toddlers are cool with DD standing in a chair. The in-laws would freak out so I bring a space saver high chair. You can get a cheap one for $15-20.

We have a travel chair that we got at Target for $50. You can either attach it right to the table or strap it to a regular chair. That thing was easily the best money I spent on a baby item.

Edit to add: it folds down to about one foot square and three or four inches high, so it's super easy to just fling in the car. We just leave ours in the trunk.

Sometimes we bring a high chair, other times she sits on a stool with a back.

I bring a cloth chair-thing that secures DD to any chair. It is good up to 35 lbs.

We have a travel chair that attaches to the table.

We bring a Fisher Price booster seat that has a tray attached.

cedenton · November 2013

I keep a portable high chair/booster in the car just in case.

We have a booster-type seat that straps to a chair. If there are no extra chairs, he just sits on one of our laps.

EMOmamma · November 2013

Yep, agree with the booster. You'll probably need it in the next 6 months anyway so it wouldn't be a waste. Here's the one we have: https://m.target.com/p/fisher-price-healthy-care-deluxe-booster-seat-red/-/A-11037106?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&AFID=Google_PLA_df&LNM=|11037106&CPNG=Baby&kpid=11037106&LID=PA&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=11037106&gclid=CMus-sXg-LoCFSho7AodOWIASQ

This. Buy one at walmart for under $20 and just keep it in your trunk for now.

We have 2 travel high chairs - the Inglesina fast table chair (folds down flat, attaches to the table), and the FP healthy care booster seat (straps to a regular dining chair). We bring either one with us depending on where we are going.

Thank you all!!!

zbeesma86 · November 2013

my parents have a high chair there for her.

Also sitting on my lap works too.

shaunnna · November 2013

We bring the stroller inside or he sits on someone's lap. Typically though, we just use the stroller since we always have one in our car.

I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/BRICA-Travel-Booster-Black-Green/dp/B004L2JJ6O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385229589&sr=8-1&keywords=travel+booster

At my parents house he has his own booster that stays there, so we don't need to bring one there. Other houses we have been to have had a small kid sized table that he & other little ones can sit at. I usually will ask ahead and bring our booster from home if we need to.

kateraid · November 2013

I have the Lobster by Phil & Ted... and the Ciao Baby portable chair so we bring one of those because he feeds himself and makes a mess.

vrj0522 · November 2013

We do the booster seat that attaches to a chair

pmduggan01 · November 2013

We now have one of those Fisher-Price portable chairs, but before this we'd just use the stroller.

FabulousMrs.P · December 2013

I have a Fisher Price Deluxe Booster Seat that straps right onto a chair. I always keep it in my trunk and we use it everywhere when we are out. It has a tray so you can use it like a high chair. And as they get older, you can just use it as a booster seat. It only cost me about $30.

I used this while we were abroad. It is not too bulky and works really well.
