Balancing a wiggly baby or active toddler on your lap doesn’t always result in the easiest eating experience… for you or your child! There are four main types of travel-friendly feeding seats to choose from:
Travel highchairs – a bit like the seat part of a highchair, minus the long legs. They sit on top of a dining chair and are strapped on. They can be folded to a compact size for portability. Foldable booster seats – these attach to a dining chair and, unlike normal boosters, can be folded to reduce their size to something a little more travel-friendly. Clamp-on seats – a seat that attaches to the table’s edge, rather than the chair. Fabric seat harnesses – basically, these are like a fold-up piece of fabric that wraps around your baby and the chair. You can use them instead of a booster or highchair, but it won’t give your baby any height. Unsure which style would suit your need?
