[blparent] Another helpful baby product

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

The booster with a tray is a great space saving idea.  I wish I'd known 
about it, although since the high chair we got was at a good price, we were 
okay.  Still, what a good idea for trips and restaurants, since some of the 
high chairs where you'll eat out are so crusty you won't want to put your 
baby in them at all.

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, 
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist

>> Hello everyone,
>>
>>
>>
>> I must admit I've glanced at this thread and not had the time to read 
>> every
>> message, so I apologize if this product has all ready been mentioned. 
>> It's
>> actually something you don't need to get right away, as the baby can't 
>> use
>> it until he or she is older, but it's the best $20 we've ever spent on 
>> our
>> kids IMO.  And what is this product???  It's a portable booster seat that
>> straps onto a regular chair, and has a detachable tray with a cover so 
>> you
>> can make it into a highchair.  Ours actually has very small legs that can
>> come out of the bottom of the seat, so you can also put it on the floor 
>> and
>> use it as a very low seat in certain situations.  Where have we found 
>> this
>> seat helpful???  Let me count the ways!  We have taken it along to
>> restaurants since some do not have highchairs at all, and others have 
>> chairs
>> that are in really bad shape and baby/toddlers can wiggle out of them
>> quickly.  We've also taken this seat to friends' houses, my husband's 
>> work
>> place, and on trips.  It has been so nice to have a safe place for our 
>> kids
>> to sit while eating.  We haven't had to worry about holding a squirming
>> child on our laps, the child falling off of a "big person chair", or the
>> child deciding he or she is done with the meal and bolting from the 
>> table.
>> It's also been great in hotel rooms because we can put it on the floor 
>> and
>> let our child eat without worrying about messes getting everywhere...  We
>> usually try to either put it on a tile floor if possible, or spread out a
>> towel underneath it so food doesn't get on the carpet.  Lastly, our
>> daughter, who is almost 2, loves to sit at the table with us as opposed 
>> to
>> in her tall highchair.  So, she actually uses the booster on a daily 
>> basis
>> now.
>>
>>
>>
>>                We really love the tray with the cover--they do sell
>> boosters without this feature.  We like the cover because we can wipe the
>> tray the best we can in a restaurant, but then can put the cover on in 
>> order
>> to transport it home without worrying about getting any mess we couldn't
>> clean all over the place.
>>
>>
>>
>>                Again, I'm sorry if this was all ready mentioned, but this
>> is just one of those products we have really found useful.

>>                Also, I completely agree about the rocking chair--getting 
>> a
>> good comfortable one.  Our daughter has been sick, and lately I feel as 
>> if
>> I've slept more in the chair than in my bed...  This is something you 
>> will
>> literally use for years if you have a child who likes to be rocked and
>> snuggled.
