The Product: Portable Highchair

Featured Merchants

The Phil and Ted's Me Too Chair is a lightweight, safe, sturdy, fully collapsible child seat that can go everywhere with you. It clamps on most tables to create an instant highchair, holds up to 40 lbs, yet weighs only 2 lbs. It also made of durable, easy to clean nylon. When not in use, the Me Too folds virtually flat, making easy to fit into a suitcase or travel bag. We keep one of these in our trunk permanently for when we are at a friend's house or a restaurant that might not have a booster and another to pack in our suitcase for travel.

Given its price point, the Me Too makes a great shower or baby gift for something that the parents will really appreciate down the road. It's not something that people will think of to register for, so it makes a great gift and they will thank you again when they start using it.

Two other popular options are the Healthy Care Booster Seat, which is a very well designed travel seat with a detachable, washable tray and the Cooshie Booster, a one piece booster seat is ideal for transitioning your baby from highchair to seat which can also be used for local travel. We used this to transition our daughter to a chair and kept another at our parent’s house. However, the Me Too is the best option for long distance travel because it will fit in a suitcase without taking up space.

Devil's Advocate:

A table based portable highchair will be more secure than a chair based model and will save you some room at the table, however it may not work in all applications, especially if the table is not sturdy or has a non-standard lip.
