99.9% of the time we sit at the coffee table to eat dinner. I'd like to get DS a chair instead of the RnP he sits in now, so something less reclining for future use when he no longer needs the neck support. What kind of chair do you use?
My sister swears by that 3rd seat made by Fisher Price. It's solid and easy to clean. She has used it on the floor a few times when there have been a lot of people over for holidays, etc. It's pretty sturdy. I'm registering for it. Her small 5 year old still uses it as a booster and it doesn't look baby'ish.
Assuming you're putting it on the floor since you eat at the coffee table, I wouldn't do the FP space saver. Unless they've changed them, ours is not freestanding and needs to be strapped to a chair.
We have the FP booster and it's been great.
The spacesaver can sit on the floor. Not sure if you can remove the straps that hold it to the chair, but it will sit on any flat surface.
Ditto. Our FP space saver sits on the floor 95% of the time.

We have the second and third ones you posted. The #2 was great when she was like 3-4 months because she could sit at the table with us and have it reclined. We still use it now at 13 months for dinner every night. The third one is great for older infants (9+ months) and it awesome to travel with since its packs up into a little square. We use that vacations and when we are going somewhere that doesn't have a high chair.
We also have the FP space saver and it was great. However, DS refused to sit in it after he started daycare and they are able to sit in regular chairs and small tables. We ended up buying him a table from IKEA and a stool where he likes to eat his meals at home.
We have all 3. The space saver high chair or the booster would work on the floor in my opinion. The super seat is more for entertainment. I think my daughter only used it from 5-10 months then she started trying to crawl out of it.
we have the third one, but it does need to be attached to a chair, you would not just set it on the floor.
We have the deluxe version of the FP healthy chair and we have used it on the floor plenty of times. We love it and it is the only thing we have ever used (except for the bumbo for the first 3-4 weeks she started solids.
