Bottom Line

A solid yet portable model by a trusted name in baby items. With few known issues, parents love its design and functionality.

Pros

Surpasses competitors with impressive feature set: 2-in-1 chair and booster seat, comfy padding, fairly lightweight (17 lbs. with legs). Sturdy build, easy to clean, and can be used with or without legs.

Cons

The tray is a bit difficult to put on/take off. Stance of the legs is somewhat wide.

Bottom Line

For consumers who prefer a lightweight space-saver, this chair has the competition beat. It's only around 7 lbs. and has a very desirable price.

Pros

Adjustable seat, spacious tray, and 5-point safety restraints. Lightweight, portable design. Comfortably fits babies and toddlers.

Cons

Tray takes some effort to remove/replace. Crevices in seat/strap buckles are difficult to clean. Requires a kitchen/dining chair.

Bottom Line

It won't be a good fit for larger children due to its design and size, but if it fits your child, you will be pleased with its portability and low-end price.

Pros

Extremely portable design; pops open and folds easily to fit into the carrying bag that comes with it. Only around 5.5 lbs. Has a removable tray. Affordable.

Cons

Tends to be wobbly when heavier or active children are in it. On the small side. Leg holes are quite snug.

Bottom Line

At around 15 lbs. and easy to fold, it's an attractive option for parents who need a portable, roomy seat, but it's not practical for everyone.

Pros

A lightweight, compact chair that can be folded to a compact size. Has a carrying handle and an adjustable tray that swings for easy access and cleaning.

Cons

Pricier than others on our list. Feels a bit wobbly when used by active kids. Seat is too spacious for small kids, making it difficult for them to sit upright.

Bottom Line

A unique model with mixed reviews. If it works for your situation and tables, chances are you will love it. Otherwise, you may find it more of a hassle than a convenience.

Pros

An innovative design: durable rubber gripping system attaches securely to tabletops. Portable; folds flat and weighs just 7 lbs. Reasonable price.

Cons

Rips and tears in the material with normal use have been reported. A bit difficult to use and clean. Fits most tables, but not all.
