Best hook-on seat?

[raqi]

Hi! I need a hook-on seat that will work on a table without a lip. It seems like the Ingelsina one will work. Any other recommendations? Thanks!

we got one for under $20 at walmart that works great and has lasted thru three kids worth of light use so far.

We just got this one for a camping trip and just to have around, LOVE IT!

Works wonderfully. Coupled with a suctioned cup placemat it gave us a nice place to set DS down for a minute while we cooked or couldn't hold him.

We ended up with the Phil & Ted Me Too chair because it has shorter "arms" than a bunch of others we looked at & our table, my Mom's table & my best friend's island counter all have a short ledge to use for hooking a chair on...kwim? For some reason I am having a hard time describing this??? Anyway-I have found that it fits most tables.

We love it. It is very tiny & easy to bring with us. It was more than we had wanted to spend, but it's on baby #2 now so I feel better about it.

The regalo one is the one we got from walmart

We were gifted this one for the birth of our first child. It's had a lot of use.

We love our Chicco one. It lives at grandma's but we're thinking of getting another one.

We also have a Chicco but we have this one. It's a bit cheaper than the one dachshundqueen has.

We've never had a high chair for DD, we just use the clip-on seat with a suction-cup placemat (we have this one and we swear by it) to protect our antique table.

We'll probably transition to a plain old booster on the dining room chair at about 18 months, since she's getting a bit heavy for the clip-on seat. Our table is a pedestal table, which you're not supposed to really use with these chairs, but she's still little enough that her weight isn't enough to throw the table off-balance.

I used to hate these chairs, because they were built in such a way that the only thing holding them to the table was the baby's counterweight in the chair. Ours, though, has these vice-grip things that you tighten onto the bottom of the table and hold it in place. (The silicone placemat also keeps it from sliding -- one more benefit to the thing!) You can use it on almost any table - though we've had trouble with tables that have a very wide "lip" under the table surface. You probably couldn't use it with a table that has a lip more than 4-5" or so.

ETA: We really, really love this chair and we love that we don't have to find a place to put a high chair in our very small house!!

We have the Phil & Ted Me too but I was thinking of returning it...I'm worried it'll be too hard to clean for everyday use. Any thoughts on that?

cleaning P&T

my bf uses hers everyday & is a neat freak (actually is a Prof Organizer) & just wipes it down every night with a washrag.

we both have run ours under the faucet in the sink & scrubbed it down too. it dried pretty quick.

This is the one we have too and we've really liked it!

Thanks! I guess we'll keep it and try it out!
