    high chair/booster seat recommendation

    Hey my dd is 19 months old and the high chair, which is one of those booster seats that you pop on the dining room chair, is proving to be a little bit high and her legs are starting to touch the bottom of the table. We have adjusted it to its lowest, so thats it. The brand is Summer which we got from baby co and wil be used for the next bub.

    Does anyone have any recommendations as to what we can use to boost her up. She doesnt need one with a tray as she eats off the table. Shes just a little...well actually way to short to sit on the chair without something.

    TIA

    I use a Safety 1st booster seat for both my boys. I take the tray off when we use it at the dinner table. It looks a lot like the Fisher Price one which is equally as good from what I've heard.

    I bought the Safety first one, but ended up replacing it with the Fisher Price one. The safety 1st one has short straps on the safety harness & it wouldn't fit around my son's tummy! The fisher price one is good (but double the price)

    Thanks girls.

    My problem is the distance between the seat and the bottom of our table top. We have one of those wrought iron glass tables (bad with toddlers) and the trim under the table top is starting to hit the top of dd legs. theres not much room for her at all. I would love a different table, but thats not going to happen, so I need the booster to be lower to the dining chair, so she has more space for her legs. When she sits on the sining chair alone, her head is just above the table.

    Are the fisher price and the safety first adustable with seat hight? Ours seems quite bulky.

    I've got the FP one and yep there are different height adjustments on it...PM me if you would like me to measure it.

    hmmm not sure I'll be much help here, after reading what your table is like. But we have one of the Phil & Ted ones that attaches to the table & flat packs....though not sure you could attach it to your table from description. But could be worth looking into...it's great & you can pop dining chair behind for extra support.
