Chicco Travel Seat Explorer

We were having our "second" child, and had NO CLUE of what kind of chair to get since our daughters chair was HORRIBLE!.

Well, it turns out we were expecting twins (funny, many "owners" have twins) and we knew that we couldn't be cleaning two highchairs daily, especially since the one chair we had for our daughter was hard enough!

The wonderful features!
* A removable cloth seat. Its also dark which has proven useful for hiding stains
* A 3 point harness, or as some call it, a lap belt. This belt is attached to removable seat, not to the metal frame
* Two hippos that clamp to the top of your table. They are rubber, so they protect tables from scratches, keep the chair in place, and are pretty adorable. They also make it safe for small fingers! With other chairs our boys were able to reach underneath the grips and pinch their hands! OUCH!
* The chair folds into a carrying bag. This has proven convenient on many occasions, and we...Read more

When I found out I was expecting twins, my daughter was under a year old! When the babies were born, she was 13 months old, obviously still in a highchair.

I just couldn't clutter my kitchen with highchairs, its not anywhere near small, but I am not sure if ANYONE could truly handle three of them. I figured I would just use booster seats, but my daughter hated the *Three* different models that we bought for her. As a last resort we tried purchasing this hippo hook on, and she loved it!

She eats in perfectly now at 20 months old, and since it holds up to 35 lbs this isn't a problem. It brings her RIGHT up to the table, which she LOVES. Its also very comfortable and secure. I had always known it was on tightly, but I worried that my daughter may feel awkward, as if she was dangling off the table... but I doubt this thought ever crossed her mind!

i'm an american expatriate living in s.korea. we initially bought this b/c we'd be traveling back and forth so much. plus, high chairs (decent ones) are twice as much in this country. it's a great chair that hooks up easily and disassembles just was easily. my daughter doesn't mind sitting it since it gives her a good view of what's going on around her. it's also easy clean. the only thing i don't like too much is the fact that it doesn't seat her right up to the edge of the table, so if she drops something, down it goes. make sure your child can support his/her head well, and can sit up. i put my daughter in it even when she couldn't sit up by herself; the straps hold her in just fine. overall and very good investment for people that travel, are on the go a lot, or don't have much space for a high chair.
