Whether you’re short on space and want to ditch the highchair or have a toddler who’s ready to sit at the big table with the family, there’s a great option for you: Booster Seats! Nowadays there are a wide variety of boosters, from cushions that you can throw on top of any old dining chair to ones that strap down and feature removable trays. We’ve rounded up a few great options that will not only save you space, but allow your toddler to safely dine at the table with you. Help encourage family dinners and eating together at a young age by utilizing a toddler-friendly booster seat that puts your child at just the right level to enjoy meals, right alongside the family, without being retrained in a high chair. Nothing is more uncool than being stuck in a baby highchair, after all! The Bumbo Booster is the perfect seat to give your kiddo a lift at the table. The Bumbo Booster is perfect for your growing toddler because it fastens onto any regular chair securely, using a strap that goes both underneath the chair, and along the chair back.
It also features a secure three-point safety harness that allows your toddler to be fastened in, but snaps open easily for the toddler on-the-go. The Bumbo Booster is lightweight, and extremely easy to clean- just a simple wipe will do the trick! It’s made of low density foam, and feels very sturdy, as well as comes in three fun colors to choose from! The Bumbo Booster Seat is ergonomically designed with contours that support your child’s shape. The lightweight design (just 2 lbs!) moves easily with your child, from a playroom to Grandma’s house. Bumbo also makes it easy to give them business, because proceeds from the sale of every Bumbo product are donated to help children in need in Bumbo’s hometown of Pretoria, South Africa. Thanks to the support of parents who have made Bumbo a part of their little ones biggest moments, Bumbo has given back more than $10 million to help families in need since 2005.

The Mamas & Papas Baby Bud booster seat is perfection, and will add a bit of whimsy to your table with its bright color options. The Baby Bud truly grows with your baby, and is compact enough that you could bring it along to a restaurant, or friend/family member’s home. The Baby Bud booster seat can be used with babies as young as 6 months old, and accommodates toddlers up to 3 years old. With this wide range of ages, there are many adjustments that can be made to fit a young baby or a toddler – from adjustable non-slip feet on the bottom of the seat to accommodate different heights (both of the child and of the table), to a removable locking tray, to a removable soft seat insert that’s perfect for a smaller baby. Begin using the Baby Bud as soon as your child can sit upright on his or her own, by using the soft seat insert and tray. When your child grows a bit more, you can remove the soft insert and use the main seat and tray, and when your child is ready to eat at the table, use the Baby Bud seat alone with no tray.
Easy to assemble, and even more importantly, easy to clean – this booster will delight your inner clean freak. You won’t need to worry about washing cloth padding or food getting stuck in tiny crevices with the Baby Bud booster seat (Can we get an amen?), because the surfaces are smooth and simple.
