Booster chairs
Baby booster chairs typically attach to a dining chair to enable a small child to join the family dinner table at mealtime. Whilst baby booster chairs provide seating capabilites for children, they are perhaps at best only an inexpensive substitute for the baby highchair.
The booster chair is not a complete chair but rather an additional seat that can be mounted and attached to an existing chair. Sitting your child in a booster seat requires you to dedicate one chair for this purpose, or to continually mount and dismount the device at each sitting.
Whilst many variations of baby booster chairs have become available in recent years the question still remains, does the baby booster chair provide the functionality and support of a baby highchair?
As a fixed seat, the booster chair provides little or no adjustability and does not allow you to alter the height of the chair as your child grows and develops. Often, the booster chair does not include a footrest option so your child’s feet are not supported, leaving them dangling and adrift. Without complete support your child is unable to move, shift weight, or adjust position, making them restless and uncomfortable when seated.
Whilst the booster chair can be considered as a seating option for your child, in truth, it does not provide a real alternative to the highchair. Perhaps at best, the booster chair may be considered a substitute, designed as a low cost, portable alternative to free standing, fully supporting highchairs.
