Summary: Very functional and cheap 2008-07-09
Comment: We bought this because we were so nervious about our 11 month old boy bouncing/jumping so hard on his hook on chair! We have a Peg Perego high chair at Grandma's but personally, I think they are overpriced! I bought mine for $40 in Canada; Peg Perego's go for over $200 and the Fisher Price Space Saver is $70 locally.
The good: I'm very happy with the booster seat so far. The plastic piece between the legs and the smaller seat depth help to prevent slouching, which was a big problem in our other, very old model Peg Perego. Also, he can get fidgety getting in/out of seats so having the "crotch block" gives me some reassurance. While he can sit independently on the floor, he seems much more comfortable (ie. doesn't squirm) in the slight recline position. Being able to adjust the tray position close to the belly has reduced the amount of crumbs I normally find on his lap. I like the 3 point belt since he doesn't need the upper body restraint; it's so much easier to put it on since I don't have to fight flailing arms! I thought I would really miss the castor wheels of a high chair, but the felt pads on the chair is sliding easily enough on our tiled floors. And, even though I'm feeding him from a counter height stool, it's not a strain on my body. (It is harder to see if there's food left in his mouth though, if he's willing to open up.)
The bad: spot cleaning the fabric pad is not really adequate but at least it's easily removable to throw in the laundry. But to coordinate wash/drying time between meals isn't that convenient. Including 2 pads, or using stain resistant fabric or vinyl would be more practical. I don't think it's that portable and if it folded easily, I would be much more inclined to take it out. The recline buttons were very hard to hard but I figure once it's set, I'm unlikely to change it much. I was unable to insert the seat at the top position (no problem with the bottom) and not sure if mine happens to not line up properly. The plastic does seem a bit thin, but I suspect durability won't be an issue. The design is very basic, but so is the price! The tray mat is cheesy and I can't see myself using it. The tray seems a bit small which makes it easy to wash in the sink, but hope it's not going to be a problem when I'm feeding a toddler. Same goes with cup holder. A gimmick or useful feature? Don't know as first time mom. My son is a kicker and likes to brace his legs against the tray edge; I sure hope the tray doesn't warp and become loose in time but from another person's review, it seems to be okay.
I was intending to buy the Fisher Price Space Saver booster seat because of the reviews. When I saw how narrow the seat was, I reluctantly passed on it. Baby's 25 lbs at 11 months and I couldn't see how the chair would fit much longer! I also read the armrests on the FP were so high that they prevented the chair from going under the dining table! I'm glad this model doesn't have armrests..what for???

Summary: Had to buy 2 2008-06-01
Comment: We have a Bumpo seat and were using that until we bought this for Grandmother's house. We like it so much we're going to buy our own. Our 4 month old is not ready to be totally upright so the reclining feature is perfect. I love that it grows with the child. Only reason for 4 out of 5 stars is I wish the fabric was coated with plastic so it'd be easier to clean. The one on there is okay. Not sure if the plastic would be more comfortable but just an idea. Baby was very comfortable and happy in it. Easy to assemble.

Summary: review of first year's newborn to toddler reclining feeding seat 2008-05-28
Comment: I had one of these for my first child and have purchased another for my second child. These are the best ever and we have tried others with our first baby and won't waste the money on others again. It's portable and works grest at our table at home as well. This is the one; don't waste time/money on inferior products.

Summary: Great Chair 2008-02-22
Comment: This chair is great!! It saves so much room in my kitchen and my son can actually be at the table with us for meals. I love it!! It does feel kind of cheap, yes, but my son used this for over a year and it held up wonderfully. I would recommend this to everyone.
