How To Choose The Best Portable High Chair

What parents are saying about the Summer Infant Booster Chair

• It’s lightweight. You can set it up really quickly.
• The tray is detachable and dishwasher safe.
• You can use it anywhere – indoors and outdoors. It’s great for using on the go.
• The tray can be really annoying to attach or detach because of the locking mechanism.
• If your baby is on the heavy side – 20lbs and over, this might not work because your baby may be able to flip it over. This is a common complaint.
• Some parents complain that the buckles are awkward and the chair itself is just not sturdy enough.
• There is no locking mechanism to keep the chair down.

What parents are saying about the Summer Infant Portable High Chair

• Incredibly convenient. You can use this from the time your baby is 6 months to 3 years, but several parents complain that the leg openings are too small. If your kid is over 20lbs, their legs won’t fit through the leg openings.
• It is machine washable. It’s great for the outdoors, camping or backyard bbq.
• It has a 3-point harness. It’s easy to use, it’s lightweight and easy to store.
• The tray is very small.
• Everyone loves that it’s very stable, but to ensure stability, the legs of this portable high chair go far out. This can be great for camping and outdoors but if you have limited space in your kitchen or dining room, you may be tripping over it.

What parents are saying about the Inglesina Hook-on chair

• You have to assemble this before you can use it. Parents say it works really great but the set up takes a few minutes, which can be a hassle if you have to do it before every meal.
• It’s heavy duty and sturdy. It folds well and it’s machine washable, but you can usually just wipe it down if it is not too dirty. However, food does go into the crevices and cracks and those may be harder to clean.
• You can use it anywhere – camping, picnic tables, in restaurants, etc.
• Using it on wooden tables is usually not a problem. You may experience varying levels of success if you are using it on metal tables because some tables have weird support structures under them that may prevent this portable high chair from hooking on properly.
• Several parents complain that there is a big gap between the baby and the table that you hook onto. As a result, food gets dropped onto the chair and the floor.
• This portable high chair has “arms” that hook onto the table, but food tends to get under the arms and you need to remove the portable high chair completely to get it cleaned, which can be quite a chore.
• While this works great for younger babies, some parents complain that older babies are able to get out by themselves, despite being strapped in.

What parents are saying about the Ciao Baby Portable High Chair

• Very sturdy and durable. It folds up easily and it’s very light.
• The tray is easy to clean.
• Nice and portable to use anywhere – restaurants or traveling.
• One big design flaw several parents complain about is that once you put your child into the seat, everything that was previously on the try, is now in your child’s lap. This is because your child’s weight pulls the tray downward.
• According to several parents, the leg openings are a bit tight for some babies, so it may be hard to get your baby in or out.
• If your baby is on the smaller side, it may feel like there is too much room on the sides so they can flop to the side.
• The chair itself is not very tall, so next to restaurant chairs, it is a bit low.

• Easy to wipe and machine washable and durable.
• Really helpful for international traveling with a baby because some countries don’t have high chairs in restaurants or safety straps on grocery carts.

• Because of its shape, you can push the chair under the table all the way, unlike many portable high chairs.
• The bottom of the seat is not flat, but concave. If you have flat, wooden chairs, this is okay but if you have leather-cushioned chairs, your cushions could be misshapen.

What moms are saying about the Cozy Cover:

• This portable high chair is easy to use and fairly quick to set up.
• It folds up very small. The fabric is soft, durable and washable.
• It doesn’t fit onto most chairs. It fits onto low back chairs.
• It doesn’t travel well in the sense that it doesn’t fit onto most restaurant chairs.
• The shoulder straps are too short for some parents, so this chair will not work with bigger babies.
