Baby travel gear is a hot topic! If you’re looking to purchase a portable high chair, we’ve got some great advice to share. Whether you’re traveling and need a way to feed your baby on the go, or you just need a high chair to keep at grandma’s house, these recommendations (from deluxe to budget-friendly) can help you choose the right portable high chair for your baby!
1. Bright Starts Pop ‘N Sit Portable Booster Seat
Our #1 pick for the best travel high chair is the Bright Starts Pop ‘N Sit. I love a piece of baby gear that does more than one job, and this one works three ways: as a floor seat, as a feeding seat with a removable tray and as a toddler booster that straps onto an adult chair.
As a traveling family, the things that earn a spot in our bags are easy to clean, don’t take up a lot of space and hold up to a lot of use. The Pop ‘N Sit folds down to about 5 x 15 inches and comes with a carrying bag with a shoulder strap, so it’s easy to bring to the park, a campsite or grandma’s house.
Feeding a baby (6 months and up) is so much easier when you have a place to set them upright with a backrest. The tray goes in the dishwasher and the seat pad goes in the washing machine, which matters when mealtime gets messy.
Highlights:
- Our #1 recommended travel high chair
- Three ways to use it: floor seat, feeding seat and toddler booster
- 3 point harness
- Dishwasher safe tray and machine washable seat pad
- Folds compact with a carrying bag
Recommended For: Babies 6 months to 3 years old
Weight Limits: up to 33 pounds
2. Fisher Price Booster Seat for Meals on the Go
This is my favorite budget friendly option! It’s affordable and it does exactly what you need at mealtime. Adjustable straps attach it securely to most dining chairs, and a three point harness keeps your little one in place while they eat. Plus, the smooth surfaces wipe clean in seconds.
It’s compact and lightweight, so it’s easy to tote around or tuck into a corner of the hotel room. That also makes it a great one to keep in the car for restaurant meals or visits with friends.
Highlights:
- Budget friendly
- Straps attach to most dining chairs
- Three point harness
- Wipeable surfaces for quick cleanup
- Compact and lightweight
Recommended For: Toddlers 6 months and up
Pro Tip: Purchase one of these to keep at the places you frequently visit with your baby like grandparents’ house.
3. Lalo Hook On High Chair
Parents have to carry bags, strollers, toys and so much more when traveling with a baby. Finding the right dining chair or travel booster seat for mealtime is important.
This hook on chair from Lalo clamps onto most dining tables with no tools, then folds flat and slips into the included travel bag. What I like most is the footrest, which adjusts to four levels so your baby’s legs aren’t left dangling. It also comes with a silicone tray that goes in the dishwasher, and the fabric seat is machine washable.
Since it attaches right to the table, it’s a great option for restaurants and vacation rentals that don’t have a high chair.
Highlights:
- Attaches to tables 0.8 to 2.95 inches thick
- Adjustable footrest with four levels
- Three point harness
- Dishwasher safe silicone tray
- Folds flat with a travel bag
Portable high chairs became even more valuable to me with every kid that we added to our family. I didn’t have enough hands to hold, feed and entertain three little ones. Travel high chairs became my saving grace.
Other Honorable Mentions:
- Chicco Caddy (the best hook on chair option with clamps)
- Hiccapop OmniBoost Travel Seat (great for picnics and camping)
- Bumbo Multi Seat (works as a floor seat or a booster)
- Inglesina Fast Table Chair
- phil&teds Lobster Clip On Highchair
