by gsx1300r - Top 1000, Feb 15 '06
Pros: Truly portable, very convenient, well-made, easy to clean, it works well, our child likes it. Cons: Much more expensive than others.
We recently bought this because our 1 ½ year old wanted to sit closer to us at the table, and we were not comfortable with some of the booster seats we saw at our local babys r us. Most were too baby'ish, with too much plastic and very bright colors ...

Pros: lightweight, easy to use, comes with travel bag, no longer have to use nasty highchairs! Cons: none
I don't know about other moms out there but when I look at some of the high chairs that restaurants provide I wouldn't even think about setting my baby in them. Many of their high chairs are crusted with food, drink, or heavens knows what else. There...

Pros: Love the style, ease of use, stability, durable fabric, and travel bag. Cons: Can't use on pedastal tables.
We just purchased this seat about two months ago at Babies R Us for 49.99. I wasn't sure I was okay with having a "hook on" chair but I read some reviews on Yahoo and everybody loved it. With one previous child we had been through about 4 other ...

Pros: Makes eating out with a baby easy. Very convenient. Cons: Not very big, we won't be able to use it long.
Recently our son outgrew his infant carrier and graduated to the "big boy" car seat. That really made everything more difficult, from shopping to eating out. I found this hook-on highchair at a local second hand store and immediately bought it. It's...

Take Measurements
by cmnaugl ,Mar 06 '07
Pros: Works great on tables and flat counter tops that are deep enough for the hooks. Cons: Does not work on raised counter tops.
We purchased this hook-on chair because our toddler always wants to see what is going on in the kitchen. However, when we got it home the hooks to hook it onto the raised counter were too long. The gap between the counter and chair is about 4 inches.

The best solution to too-big highchairs
by ahohl1 ,Mar 16 '07
Pros: Convenient, works great, compact, includes baby at the family table. Cons: Won't work with all tables.
I never liked the idea of a highchair that takes up half the kitchen. This has been the perfect solution for us. The Chicco Hook-On High Chair is practical and inexpensive. Our second child is now using it. The high sides make even little babies feel secure in there, but it holds up to 40 pounds. There are certain tables it won't work on, so sometimes you have to struggle or move it to a different spot (not the end) or change your plan about which table you are using it on.
The fabric parts wipes off pretty easily, and you can take it off without too much fuss and throw it in the washer.
We have taken this to the in-laws house, to summer camp, and used it as our main highchair at home.
I also feel it helps the baby/child feel part of the family at dinner, rather than being in a separate area in the highchair. Many highchairs these days have such a large base for safety reasons that you can't really pull them up to the table.

Useless!
by ameliasmommy ,Jun 19 '06
Pros: None Cons: Not adaptable to different table types, cannot be used on tables with a tablecloth.
I attempted to use this seat on 4 different tables and it only successfully hooked onto one of them -- ironically the one in my home!!!
Two of the tables I tried were dining room tables that had a wooden piece running underneath the length of the table for insertion of table leaves. This interfered with the seat's attachment and the seat could not be used.
The third table we tried was a booth at a pizza place. The seat was able to attach at the end of the table, however once in place the adult diners were not able to sit down because the seat's attachment rods did not allow enough room between the booth seat and the table for an adult leg to slide through and sit down. Even if the adult slid in first the attachment rods interferred with the adult's leg room. Again the seat could not be used.
Also beware that this seat will not hook onto tables with at tablecloth. It doesn't tell you this on the box so I didn't find out until I read the enclosed booklet.
Needless to say I am returning this ASAP!

Like this chair but have had problems
by pebell100 ,Mar 21 '07
Pros: Easy to wash, very affordable. Cons: I've had to have the cloth stitched up twice.
I still really like this chair despite the problems....
Son can sit up at table and really enjoys eating with us. Because it is small and hangs from the table it doesn't take up a lot of space. However, I've had to have the cloth stitched up twice now. My son is only 22 pounds and doesn't move around a lot so I have no idea why it keeps tearing. So in that respect, I am quite disappointed. A good shoemaker can repair it for you though or if you have your own sewing machine, you can do it at home.
Baby sits right at table; chair doesn't take up a lot of room, easy to wash. Very affordable.
