Good and reasonably priced booster seats for 20mth old.

Ds is getting too big for his highchair. plus wants to move around more while he eats! Think a new booster seat at the 'big' table may encourage him to sit still while he has his dinner! Don't want to spend too much money (not more than 25 quid really), but don't want anything too ugly if we can help it!

the nciest looking one is the Handysitt but this is way over budget
take your pick...

Remember it'll be tucked under the table or under DS's bum most fo the time so you shouldn't see too much of it...

or you could get a 'high chair' thus or thus

thanks MrsB, will have a look at the mothercare site - really want one that will sit onn a chair rather than a seperate chair altogether, although the IKEA Antilop that DS has had since weaning has been brilliant!

My 21 month old has just been ousted from his high chair as his little sister needed it. I thought about buying this one but when we tried him on the chair with a tie on cushion he was fine. You could try the cushion and if you wanted to keep him there and have a chair that would fit it, you could use a set of reins with the tie bits looped around the back of the chair?

We found that just sitting on a 'big boy chair' like all the grown ups was enough incentive to keep him at the table.

Please please please bear in mind that when children sit on a big chair they can push their feet against the table and topple the chair backwards. If you must do this, put the chair firmly against a wall and then push the table up close so the child cannot push it or the chair.

We've used the On-the-go booster seat from Mrs Badgers link, it's fantastic for travelling but I think it's not up to everyday use, keeps shifting around and slipping down. The pushing-chair-over thing has happened to us as well with result we have gone for an untippable, climbable tripp trapp (ouch!). We also have baby reins looped over as a harness.

We found with booster seat it's not so much sitting on it as climbing up and down from the chair that was the problem. DS1 would try and get down from table and go flying.
