meal time seating arrangements

[breezy8407]

My two have been eating in their high chairs since they were big enough to sit. We have two FP Space Saver chairs. They are starting to look like giants in those things and I am wondering what everyone is doing for meal times. I would think a restaurant style booster would work. 

I remember sitting on old phone books and Sears catalogs as a kid. Don't have those around anymore.

We have a FP booster with straps. We have the high chair still for when we have guests and need the extra place at the table.

G just sits on our dining bench. He's been doing that for about 4 months now.

We have a Fisher Price booster. I like that it has a waist strap, so he can't escape until dinner is over.

Lincoln is in this booster and Calvin is in a high chair.

I just saw this one on Amazon! I am interested in something with straps since they do NOT sit still if they are sitting on a regular chair.

Both girls are in a Stokke Tripp Trapp and will be for many years.

That's where we got it. I love it! It is so easy to clean. It straps to the chair and then you can strap them in too. Highly recommend it!

Ada is in this thing. It has straps which are a must for her. It's from Walmart.

C is in a high chair & H is in this seat thing.

Another vote for the FP booster with waist straps. We've had B in it since September of last year - he was fighting being in a high chair, but amazingly would hop into the booster. He actually gets upset if we don't buckle the straps. Just beware in the summertime of chubby thighs, my H has pinched poor B with the clips several times.

In my next life I will have these!

Tyler is in a booster seat and has been for a long time. We don't strap him in anymore. He knows if he is not sitting like a big boy, we will strap him down.

[bean47]

She sits in a FP booster but we don't buckle it anymore. I think we will skip the big highchair for C and buy another FP booster and use the tray for C.

[charlielove]

She just sits on the regular chair.

Our Graco high chair came with a booster seat. We have been using that for about 9 months.

[greenkitty98]

P has just been sitting on the chair for quite awhile now.

[teamhayes]

We have 2 oxo high chairs

K will occasionally eat at the table or standing

[onehitwonder]

We are using the booster that came with our highchair. No straps as long as he sits. If we eat outside, he usually just sits in a chair.

[bebeetmoi]

She is still in her high chair and I have no plan to change that until next summer or so.

[shevacc]

We've always had her in the FP space saver booster. We have a built in breakfast nook and she started at the head of the table strapped to a chair. Now the booster sits unstrapped on one of the benches. We strap her in if she's misbehaving. Otherwise she stands/kneels on the bench.

We have a Prince Lionhart booster that she still uses at home. She doesn't use anything when we go out to eat.

I guess our green is discontinued but I searched Amazon and saw other colors around $50 which is probably what we paid for it 3 years ago.

We have this at home www.amazon.com/dp/B00AHVR7XA/ref=twister_B00HZFIE1U

At my parents she sits in the regular chair and his parents they have a little table for her from ikea.

[spaghetticat]

90% of the time, she sits in a regular chair and it's miserable. She's always getting up. So tonight I put her in the booster chair and she kept unbuckling herself and it was even worse than normal. I don't recommend a booster with a push button release.

[mumegs]

M just sits in a regular chair.

[jg183]

We have a FP space saver. We strap it to the chair but not him
We don't use the tray

[honeybee503]

We have the Fisher Price booster that looks like a cow. I like it and she is always wanting to sit in her "moo seat".

[jamaga2583]

M just sits in a regular chair. He started refusing to eat when he was sitting in his booster about 6 months ago, so we took it off of his chair.

C alternates sitting in a regular chair, using this booster seat (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006OKS994/ref=pd_aw_sbs_2?pi=SS115&simLd=1), or sitting in high high chair (his choice of which).

He refused his high chair for about a year but now magically likes it again. It's the Boon one with a pneumatic lift. I ditched the tray and lowered it to table level so he can use it like a regular chair.

We've never used the straps on his high chair (I'm too lazy to clean anything that's not slick plastic), so I specifically looked for boosters without straps. The one we have doesn't work with our chairs because they have a curved seat, so the booster can't suction on. We use it anyway, but I'd caution anyone looking at it to make sure your sears are flat.

We use this for Mia and she loves it most of the time (http://www.amazon.com/Inglesina-Fast-Table-Chair-Navy/dp/B00IOGIOE6/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1413829759&sr=8-2-fkmr1&keywords=booster+chair+that+adheres+to+table):

This was our favorite baby item from about six months on. I kept it in a tote bag and brought it whenever we went out to eat. So much easier than trying to find restaurants with high chairs.

I'd completely forgotten about this! I wonder where ours is.
