Description of the booster seat
Delivery
Arrived quickly and well packaged
Using the chair
You can use it for your baby’s first meal on a chair or at a table.
The wide seat is suitable for babies from six months up to three years.
Button to close the legs is a bit stiff
As the seat is plastic, it is a bit hard to sit on so I use a cushion
Seat is all made of plastic
It will not damage the chair you attach it to as it has rubber feet. Fits most dining room chairs
Rubber end of legs give them a little more stability
Easy to fold away
Compact fold
Easy to fold down or open up the chair.
As you can you fold it away it would does not take over up any room in the kitchen unlike highchairs
Will fold up and store under a buggy
Adjustable straps
3-point harness
The straps to secure the chair double as shoulder straps for carrying the seat
Straps can get a bit messy but will remove to clean which can be a little fiddly
Velcro straps to avoid any trailing straps.
The straps are adjustable
The tray
Better than most booster seats as it is fitted with a tray which is detachable
The tray is 13ins x 7ins
You can wash the tray in the dishwasher as long as it is a cooler wash.
Tray fits very close to the baby to avoid spills.
As the child gets older the tray can be removed and it just used as a booster seat.
Three tray positions
The tray is a bit difficult to put on but you will soon get the hang of it
Tray could do with being a bit wider
You can remove the tray to push the chair in closer to the table if you want to. Need to make sure the table is stable which you fit it to. Tray connects on one side and then with more difficulty on the other side
Best to attach the tray after the strapping the baby into the seat.
Comes in different colours
Comes in the following colours – Dark Grey, Mandarino, Green, Silver, Lime
Attaching to Chair
It is easy to attach to a chair. This is with adjustable belts, which fit around the back and seat of a chair. The one-metre long strap will fit most chairs.
Adjustable height seat
You can adjust it to three different heights just with one hand.
The highest position is about 20cm.
Bottom of the frame to the seat is 20cm Lowest position is about 5 cm. generally need to use it in the highest position as this sat on a chair generally brings it level with most tables.
Chair could do with a couple more height adjustments to fit under different sized tables. Although this does not matter if you are using it with the tray.
The height of the set is adjustable to three different positions. In addition, the tray will change into three different positions.
Using as free standing on the floor
Most of the negative reviews for the chicco boaster seat have been because the chair can tip over when free standing on the floor. However, sold as a booster seat designed to be strapped to a dining room chair. This is clear in the instructions accompanying the booster seat. Always stay with your child even when correctly strapped to a dining room chair.
Not suitable for using on the floor as the chair could tip over
Floor seat I thoroughly recommend the m&p snug
Great for Eating Out
Great for taking into restaurants instead of using the wooden highchairs provided that the baby slips out of the highchair.
Ideal for using when visiting relatives or friend who do not have a high chair.
Easy to fold and carry when you are going out when you need to feed the baby. Either visiting family, restaurants or on vacations

There is a button on the base of the seat which is used to close the legs which is a bit fiddly to operate
