Your thoughts on booster chairs (for eating)

[Convex]

I have a 2yo and 1 due shortly.

Thinking about a booster to go on the dining chair rather than a second tripp trapp (we have a newborn set for the tripp trapp so really want to use this for the new baby)

Any recommendations? Was thinking the stokke handy sitt but it looks quite small. I'd like something that will last until he us around 3 at least (he is a pretty average size)

Stoke handysitts are great but my 2 year old can escape from one by throwing himself around, he is a keen climber though! We ended up getting 2 Tripp Trapps, you only need 1 babyset so a bit cheaper. 4 year old uses hers for drawing etc. too.

We also ended up with 2 tripp trapps - still in every day use at nearly 3 and nearly 5....

I have a tripp trapp for all 3 of mine, who are 4, 2 and 8 months. I consutled the forum's wisdom before buying the third. The general consensus is that they will use the tripp trapp until 7 or 8 so it's worth it. And then you can always sell them on because they are very popular.

That's what the man in the shop advised!

Secondary question, at what age did your kids progress from the baby set to just sat on the chair?

My nearly 3yo has a travel booster seat and it is fine. He's had it since s bit before he was 2. It slips a bit but we've tied it to the chair with string and it works fine. He eats at the the table with us and enjoys being able to get on and off it himself. Not a particularly elegant solution but functional and cheap.

Thanks Emily, which one do you have?

Number 1, at about 2 years. Number 2 at 15 months. Depends when they can climb on and off safely.

We keep the front bar on for as long as possible! Oldest was about 3 (i.e. When we started to wean the little one) youngest is still using it at 2 but should take it off really as he can climb in and out.
