Graco Booster Seat

Advantages: Very easy to fit, adjustable arm rests, cup holders, handy as a spare seat.
Disadvantages: Moves when child first gets on to it.

...As a Childminder I needed a lightweight seat that I could install quickly and easily in to my car. I bought a graco booster seat from my local Halfords store at £15.50 which I think is reasonable as this in my opinion is abetter quality seat than the cheaper polystryene versions. The Graco booster seat is ideal as it is sturdy enough for children from 4 years up to 10 years, and weight 15kg up to 36kgs. It was really easy to install as it just sits on the seat and the strap and buckle fit on to your existing seat belt, you can adjust the height of the buckle on the seat belt to prevent the seat belt going on to the child's neck. it is a solid but comfortable seat with cup holders which are a good idea, no drinks spilled in the car. and the adjustable arm rests are invaluable as you can set them at the right height...

Review of Graco Junior Booster Seat

very handy to have - booster seat

Advantages: small to store but very functional
Disadvantages: could be easier to clean

...I have recently purchased this booster seat to take to friends/relatives houses and also for eating out as not everywhere we go either has high chairs or has enough high chairs. It has a soft padded insert in in addition to the inflatable portion in the seat part whcih makes it a reasonable height allowing my son to reach the table well. It has one strap to go under the chair and one strap to go round the back of the chair, my son is quite a wriggler so I have made sure he is pushed right up to the table though I don't think he could escape!! The material on the internal part of the seat could be easier to clean but I didn't have any trouble wiping the spilled food!! One of the biggest advantages of this booster seat is it's size for storage, it is easy to pop under the buggy if going out or leaving in the boot of the car...

Review of First Years Inflatable Booster Seat

Which Booster Seat to Choose

Advantages: Sturdy, Easily Assembled, Easy to Clean
Disadvantages: Some holes where food falls into for thorough clean you have to take apart

...We needed a booster seat as we were attending a Wedding with our 14mth old daughter. They did not have any highchairs available and we didn't feel it was suitable to use the pushchair or take our big highchair so we decided to find a portable option. After looking at the makes available (including a new design that you just inflate!) we decided on the Safety First Booster Seat. It is brightly coloured(green/blue/red/yellow)so appealing to children, and sits on top of any chair with a back. It come in 3 pieces which are easy to assemble together so that you have a back and sides and an detatchable tray. There are straps to secure the seat to the chair and a harness to ensure the child can't climb out (although it is a nice snug fit with the tray on they definately wouldn't be able to climb out then). To fit the seat you pass...

Review of First Years Inflatable Booster Seat

Safety 1st On-the-Go Fold-up Booster Seat

Advantages: Actually two products in one - fantastic value for money
Disadvantages: Bulkier than some travel booster seats but worth it!

...(a.k.a. The Fold and Go Booster Seat) Silver Winner of the Mother & Baby Best Travel Item 2005/6 I kind of bought this product in error! Well, if I'm honest my brother-in-law bought it for us but I told him where to find it. While pregnant with my daughter, I began to pay attention to all the gadgets and gizmos my friends with children had so I could be one step ahead of the game (ha ha - who was I kidding!?!). I noticed that one of my friends had an inflatable travel seat ('the first years' On-the-go Booster Seat) which she used in restaurants and when visiting friends. It was quite small when folded up (approx 15 cm square by 6 cm deep), which appealed to me as I am always looking for space saving products. It was good but I was not entirely convinced that it was robust enough. Also, it was really hard to clean and always...

Review of Safety 1st On-the-Go Fold-Up Booster Seat

Safety First Booster Seat

Advantages: Easy to clean, easy to transport, takes up less room than a highchair, dual purpose - remove table and is booster seat for toddler at the 'big' table.
Disadvantages: stability worries, and would prefer 5 point harness for a baby

...After having a highchair for my firstborn and finding that it took up too much room and was cumbersome to transport, we decided that for the second baby we would try one of these. It has been brill, easy to clean, easy to transport, I have even heard that you could put it in the dishwasher to clean it (but we haven't got one so dont know for sure). The only drawbacks that I have found are that because it only has a waist harness (3 point) my baby girl (11mths) can reach over the side quite a way, I dont think she could fall out but its a bit of a worry if you turn your back for a second. The other drawback is that as she gets bigger and stronger, Im finding that she can rock the entire thing, kitchen chair and seat, backwards and forwards, and of course trying to tell the little monkey to stop only results in her doing it all the more!...

Review of Safety 1st Fold Up Booster Seat

Have booster seat, will travel

Advantages: Easily portable
Disadvantages: Fiddly to clean

...food-redistribution session (I mean feed!). You have to partly disassemble the chair to do it. The tray, however, is no problem to wash and you can always just clean the rest of the chair weekly. I used this sort of seat for my daughter from 6 months (it helps if your child can sit upright unaided before you use this). Apart from the space-saving factor, the booster seat's most brilliant advantage is the travel factor. It folds down really easily to a small size and is perfect for travelling with. In fact, it's so small and light you could even take it with you if you don't have a car. As anyone with a traditional high-chair knows, this is a real plus....

Review of Safety 1st Fold Up Booster Seat

A seat for all Occasions

Advantages: folds up compactly, easy to wipe clean,straps securely to most types of dining chair
Disadvantages: hard plastic seat, food sometimes falls in crevices, tray occasionally sticks

...When visiting family and friends, we often did one of two things. Our little one either was sat in her pram and fed, or else sat on my lap to eat. Either was not overly convenient, especially when she wanted to feed herself. This problem was solved when my MIL decided to take us out to look at portable high chairs. We settled upon the Safety First Fold Up Booster Seat. There were several factors that we weighed when making this choice. First was storage. It needed to fold up compactly when not in use and for transport. Second was design; it should securely fasten to a chair. I did not want one of those that hang off of a table edge as I had seen a rather nasty accident in a restaurant with one of those when the table clamp suddenly gave way. Thirdly was ease of use and cleaning. Fourth was cost. We also wished it to be a well known...

Review of Safety 1st Fold Up Booster Seat

A great unique seat for little people!

Advantages: Cheap, easy to transport
Disadvantages: Made from fabric so can get grubby

...This seat is a great idea for helping you get out and about with a baby. It is so difficult when you are visiting people and have a toddler that is trying to crawl around or wants to play but you have nowhere to sit them up when you are at a friend's house and this is the answer to the problem! It is a booster seat which blows up itself so it makes it easy to transport and take around with you. Once inflated you then sit your baby in it and there are straps which are fairly easy to use so you can ensure that your baby is safe. It can then be used to help you feed your baby instead of having to sit them on your knee or attempt with a chair. This strap is adjustable too so will be easy to be used for a while instead of it getting too tight. I found this really easy to then put away afterwards all I had to do was (take my baby out...

Review of The First Years On the Go Self-Inflating Booster Seat Winnie the Pooh

Cosi little seat!

Advantages: Comfortable, safe
Disadvantages: heavy

...I was recommended to buy this car seat by a friend and now I can see why they rated it so highly. Which magazine have rated Maxi Cosi as one of their safest car seats and it's been a great buy for us. The seat itself is very well padded and comes with a head hugger which has extra padding on it which is velcroed on. You easily detach this once your baby has out grown it. The head hugger is really great though for when your baby is tiny. It gives that extra comfort and support which a newborn needs. The head hugger stayed in our car seat until our baby was 5 months old. The padding around the rest of the seat is really sound comfortable but not so overly padded that it seems too soft and therefore not safe. When the baby is sat in it it doesn't hunch them up like in other car seats, instead the baby is well supported and has...
