We have the FP zen collection one. It also reclines so I think we started placing the kids in it around 4 mos while we ate, but not really using it to feed them until 6 mos.
I used the Fisher Price Space Saver for my older two, but got the full sized FP one with wheels for my third. It is more convenient to move her all around the kitchen, and we don't have a chair to spare. I started using it around 4 months, even though we waited until 6+ months for solids.
We also have the FP Space Saver. We used it at Thanksgiving for the first time so he could sit at the table with the family. However he's not on solids yet so we don't use it at home quite yet.

We have the Chicco Polly, it has too many crevices but I do like that we can wheel him anywhere we are in the kitchen/dining room. We started using it when he got decent head control - 3 months maybe? He's in there pretty snug so we could use it early.
We have the Grao duoDiner and started using it at about 2 or 2.5 months. It has several different reclining levels and DS loves sitting at the table with us. I can also roll it over when I'm cooking/cleaning up the kitchen so he's nearby. I think it disassembles and can sit on a regular chair. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005XJ2VH8/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00 It was much cheaper when we bought it. Each pattern was a different price on amazon.
It is awesome. Doesn't take up any space to speak of, it is portable and will last a long time. We finally stopped using it at home this summer ( so she was just over 2) when we happened to run into this at Ikea: www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10099897/ because we can't scoot the chair with the booster under our kitchen table (she is sitting at the head of the table since there are 5 of us and because the kitchen island is right behind her so she cannot tip backwards, any other place at the table would work though) plus it makes her feel like a big kid (she didn't like using the tray much anymore).
We still use the booster (without the tray now) for eating out and when traveling (I bought one and have it stored at SDs house on the east coast and with my parents in Europe as well).
