    Lightbulb Booster seat for sitting at Kitchen Table?

    Does anyone use or know of a good booster seat so my DS can sit on a regular chair at the kitchen table instead of the high chair?

    He is too short to just sit on the chair, but I don't want something that will make him slip or be unsafe.

    I've had a little look around but couldn't see anything obvious.. any suggestions welcomed!

    Ours is also Fisher Price. Is a great one. Height is adjustable. Has straps to tie it to the chair and clip bub in. also comes with a tray, which also has another detachable plate/tray and is dishwasher safe. Its green blue and white.

    We have the FP one as well. It is great, you can adjust it to 3 different heights. DD loves sitting at the table nowin it like a "big girl"

    Nettie, we have a Cooshee hybak, it's made of the same sort of squishy stuff as a bumbo but designed to be used as a booster on a seat. It is quite grippy, we've never had any problems with slippage, but it doesn't have any straps so only use if DS doesn't need actual 'restraining', kwim?

    He probably 'needs' restraining, but doesn't want to be restrained. So we do want something that he can use to get some height, but not strap him into - otherwise we'd just use the highchair!

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions. If you have any others that don't require him to be strapped in, please let me know!

    In that case you would love the cushee. It's very comfortable, light, we've taken it out to restaurants etc with us, works a treat!

    We have the fp one too, you can get different designs at toys r us, we have a lion one for dd1. You don't need to use the straps you can just use the tray or push them into the table and they are safe. Dd2 has always been in one instead of a highchair they are easy to clean and take out and about with you too.

    There's a big baby shop at the HomeMaker centre at Gepps Cross...is it baby bunting (they have a store at melrose park too) so they might be at other baby shops too.
