Munchkin® Brica® Go Boost™ Toddler Booster Seat for Dining Table, Great for Travel, Blue/Grey

I have 2 toddlers and my older one being 2.5 was more into the booster seat stage at restaurants and after running into constant problems finding many restaurants that had 2 working high chairs that weren’t wobbly or had broken straps so I couldn’t keep him sitting was becoming a real struggle. The booster seats at most restaurants don’t have a seatbelt and are easily tipped. This thing was a LIFESAVER! Took both my kids to a restaurant last night and used this for my older one and let me tell you whoever thought of this is the real MVP in my book. This thing is compact with an easy carrying strap and buckles around the seat in 3 different places while having him in a 3 way buckle to be strapped into the seat he loved it cause he got to sit in a big boy chair and I loved that he was safe and couldn’t get things on the table that were outside of the baby radius as there was hot tea and hot soup on a burner on the table. Also the fact that under the seat itself is a zipper compartment with the actual booster inside but it has that extra space in the middle for extra diapers and wipes which are a must have when your toddler is eating making a huge mess. Eliminated the need to bring in the diaper bag with the essentials being under his butt. By far one of my favorite baby items I’ve ever bought. Couldn’t recommend more highly!!!

I bought a couple of these to take along on spring break. I have had a quality issue with one -- one of the straps broke, from the top right which keeps the back upright aligned to the chair back, 4 days into use, when we were fastening it onto a chair and tightening. But this did not detract from the usability. may be a safety issue only if you are using for a very little one. But the manufacturer was extremely helpful though I have to ship back to them at my expense. I had purchased from target which refused to take back a defective used item at the store. I ended up purchasing a replacement from AmznI think this would work great for a 9 mo old and up that is pretty steady and can sit upright easily. While it has a 45 lb limit, it may be a tight fit for a chubbier child, would definitely pick the chicco if your kid is over the 85 - 90% in weight for height because my chubbier twin barely fits into the straps at full extension.If you purchase the Summer Infant Tiny Diner, Blue and Kiddopotamus Bibbity Rinse & Roll Bib in Blue they match perfectly with the seat and store inside the seat easily and you have a travel kit ready to go! I have the green placemat as well and the color does not match quite as nicely if you care about those things :-)I purchased a couple of these even though I have this one as well --Chicco TravelSeat Hook On Chair, Adventure for my 18 mo twins because the Chicco is heavy and larger to put into a suitcase. For drive to vacations, where space and weight are not constraints I like the chicco better coz it puts the babies at the table. Also the Chicco is washable while this is strictly wipe clean so definitely not for every day use as a booster.If you purchase the Summer Infant Tiny Diner, Blue and Kiddopotamus Bibbity Rinse & Roll Bib in Blue they match perfectly with the seat and store inside the seat easily and you have a travel kit ready to go!

I was looking for a portable booster to take with us to restaurants so we can sit in booths and avoid the sometimes DISGUSTING restaurant high chairs. Our boys still need to be restrained in some way, so they're not ready for a plain strapless booster yet. I tried three different portable boosters - this one, the Summer Infant pop & go and The First Years' on-the-go booster. All are nice and compact, and this is actually the largest of the three. But, it was my favorite for a few different reasons. The base is plastic which makes it nice and sturdy (this is a contrast to the The First Years seat, which is inflatable and a little wobbly from side to side under pressure). The waist strap sits at the actual waist, rather than at the base of the hips (like the Summer Infant). I also like the added storage inside. It helps to balance out the overall size of the item, since you can tuck in a bib, folding plate, silverware and wipes... which we would most likely need / want to carry anyway. If it means I can carry one less bag with me, I'll take the slightly bulkier item! Finally, I liked that this booster has little grippy pads on the base of the unit. The unit I received (the blue model shown in August 2018) does NOT have the four flip-out feet that are pictured in some of the other reviews. Just FYI. Anyway, since we're looking to use this in booths at restaurants, it will help me to feel more secure than The First Years booster, which does not have any grippy pads. The Summer Infant chair is OK, but seemed much less secure than either of these other models for what we wanted to sue it for.The straps are nice and sturdy, which is nice. I tested all chairs out on our fabric dining room chairs, which are pretty wide. The straps on this chair are slightly shorter than the ones on The First Years booster, but still plenty long enough to fit around our chairs securely. The clips that fasten the straps around the child's waist in this chair are fully exposed. This could be a pro or a con, depending what you're looking for (and whether or not you have a little Houdini on your hands). They're very easy to access when you're ready to strap in or ready to leave. The clasps on The First Years booster are tucked inside a little fabric sleeve, so you have to dig for them. It's not difficult... just not quite as "get up and go" as with this one.One other thing to note... I didn't think there was a strap that would wrap around the bottom of the chair. After looking at the pictures, it seems that you can extend the shoulder strap and wrap that around the chair. The straps are sewn to lay flat when used as a shoulder strap, so it isn't obvious that this would be what should be used to wrap around the bottom of a chair. Just in case someone else has the same question I did!
