Handysitt booster chairs - can you adjust the seat height?

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to adjust the seat height on the Handysitt? I am about to buy a couple online as they look perfect for home and holiday - I'm just concerned my very small 2 year olds will be at a comfortable height at the table.

Really appreciate a reply - I've had a good look through their website and can't find this info. Cheers!

Hello littlemisstwins.
I have the handy sit and think it's worth its weight in gold!
The seat height can't be adjusted but i have a very tall nearly 3 year old who sits in it fine.I would advise getting the cushion/pad for the seat though as i know they don't always come included in the price.

Thanks for the reply. They do look like great seats, I'm just worried that my girls will be too small to reach the table! Can you sit the child on a cushion and it's still safe?

I might go into a store and check them out - I am forever buying things in the wrong size!

If you could find a narrowish cushion you could sit them on that as there is a lap belt to keep them put.
I never used one though as ds always reached the table where ever we were.

Did you know litaf do a lightweight version - made of alloy and plastic, much cheaper thing boots sell them on line think they are called hang n sit or something? Only thing I found with handysitts is that if you have to scrub them they do get worn looking, varnish comes off and does the lettering and they are heavy for lugging around and they don't fit all styles of dining chairs either.

The only chair back that i found it didn't fit was the curved top (balloon backs are they called?).

My friend's dining chairs had back that were too high and are completely flat beech wood so despite having bits of wood under the handsitt so they reach the top they have a tendency to slide off at the top still.
