Travel high chair recommendations

[KBN]

We are off on hols with our 15 month old shortly, and know there is no high chair where we are going.

I have one of the cloth ones, which does not always seem to do the trick with us. Are there "travel" high chairs on the market, and if so , what would you recommend (ideally that packs away quite small).

Thanks

The handysits are brilliant, also handy at home when friends visit and you need a second highchair.

I'd second the handysitt. I'm a recent convert to them and can't praise them highly enough. We've also used the cloth wraparound ones which were fine when he was much younger, but no good for a strong toddler, and I've always been afraid to leave him unattended in it. (probably due to the fact that the one time I did he fell out!)

They aren't the cheapest, but my niece is now 4.5 and has only just stopped using hers so I don't think it's bad value for money.

The Phil and Teds screw-on travel highchair is pretty good and very compact.

Hi - we have 2(!) - a phil and teds which is great but doesn't fit on all tables, and a softer one from mothercare/jojos - perhaps this one, which is good as fits on most chairs and quite easy to chuck in the bottom of the buggy - it lifts them up just a bit more than the cloth ones. Saved out lives in Spain this year as nowhere seemed to have high chairs!

Aha snowboarder - thanks for the tip - we are off to spain too which is why i am trying to get hold of a travel high chair. for those recommending handysitts, are they not too bulky to take abroad?

can't recommend p&t travel high chair enough but as sb says they don't fit on all tables. Found with the cloth one E was much to low down to eat off the table.

KBN - we found where we were (andalucia) NONE of the cafes or restaurants had high chairs at all - it was really weird - they seemed to expect you to feed your child in the buggy....not remotely possible the way baby snowboarder eats!! They looked at us in amusement when we whipped out our travel high chair!! So would recommend getting one as easy as poss to carry around...

We got this one for going on hols this year.

It's not as light as the blow up ones but we found them a little scary as our LO gets bigger and more mobile - the sides seemed a little insecure. We liked this one as it was stronger and hence we felt better for a full 2 weeks of constant use but still portable. A little fiddly to clean if food gets in the seams but easy enough to take apart to clean.
