Chairs chairs chairs!

Alrightly ladies--how do you solve the dilemma of eating out with your little one at places that don't have a high chair?  I come across this problem often at friend's houses or "not kid friendly restaurants"......I like the portability factor of the fabric high chair things I've seen (that can convert any chair into a kid friendly chair for meal times but then you have to think about a booster to use the table.....but I'm not too keen on those high chairs that can clip onto a table....what do you use?  

I feel like we need something ASAP!  I'd prefer if it could be something I could pick up at my local Target or Baby 'R Us or something as ordering something online can take a while....

Any suggestions???

    We got a little booster type seat at Target. The brand is Ingenuity. It's hard, white plastic with a softer blue rubbery type insert. We don't eat out all that much, but we still keep it in the car JIC. It really came in handy when we traveled out of town because we did go to restaurants for practically every meal.

    ETA: when I really think about out it we've gotten a lot of use out of this because we also use it at my cousin's, aunt's, or dad's house when we go for family parties and we need to keep him still so he can eat.

    @CaiShov it is getting a little tight, but the blue insert just lifts right out. Without the insert, just the base, I expect we'll be able to use it at least another year or two. It's pretty roomy and suitable for a big baby or toddler. I think it is intended to be used like a Bumbo but I don't like those so we always just use it as an on-the-go booster/high chair. The tray can just snap right off if you prefer to use it more as a booster.

    We use our chair at least 5 times a week. It comes to all the inlaws, fits most tables and collapses to fit in the stroller basket. I cannot say enough good things.

    It's inglesina, it was about $60 but worth every single penny.

    This isn't my kid because I just got a new phone and it has nothing on it, this is from their advertisement. But I have an adorable one of Hayley and her cousin on Labor Day in their matching chairs- so stinking cute!

    Edit- it has a higher weight limit than you would think, the cousin mentioned above is a 2.5 yr old.

    I have been bringing my stroller inside as needed. I have a booster I love but my daycare lady has it now.

    @mamasoup030‌ I like our seat but the fact that yours is collapsible is nice. What is the weight limit? I'm think I'm on track to have a 40 pound two year-old.

    Ours is pretty much this but a different brand.

    @cagoldi‌ the website says 37 pounds is the max weight. It even has a carry pouch attached to it that it folds into. I love it so much I should buy stock in the company.

    We also have and love the inglesina one. It was priceless when Levi didn't have the balance for a restaurant high chair but was too big for the infant carrier. It's supportive and comfy for him- we take it everywhere!

    We have Phil and Teds lobster and it's hands down my best baby purchase ever. It clips on to the table, folds up with a little carry bag and we love it. We always get compliments on it and travels super easy. We bought this specific one because we fly to our home state a lot too and it fits in our luggage and clips on to both our parents tables. I think he'll be able to use it at least another year and a half to two years. Buy it or one like it... You won't be sorry. Oh yeah and there was only one place we couldn't use it- A hibachi place where the table was too thick for the clamps.

    @joelies - Hayley's favorite game in a wooden high chair at a restaurant is to see how quickly she can slip out- when we have forgotten our clip on chair I've resorted to complex knot tying with a swaddle blanket to double secure her. #skinnybabyproblems
