We have one of those plastic fold up portable booster/feeding seat with a tray which is great, but a little bulky. I love the idea of those material ones that slide over the top of a chair, but I'm not sure if they'll go over a camp chair. Has anyone had experience with this type of restraint?

I don't think you can o past the ikea one, legs come off so it is not that bulky when packed up.
-
Yep... what Burnsy said!
-
Yep, the IKEA high chair for us as well.
-
i built one many years ago for my youngest, it then got handed down for the grandkids,,
was simple design, basicly 4 pieces of ply that slotted together to form a seat with sides and a backrest that hung from the table, imposible for baby to dislodge from table as there own weight held it in place,, when you were finnished just pull it apart for storage,, original flat pack i called it..lol took about 30 seconds to put together or take apart.

Another vote for the swedish chair

By chance we just bought two of these today (long story), one available if anyone wants it. We believe the restraints were the subject of a recall, apparently one calls Ikea and they send out replacement belts.
-
As a side for those who have not realized it, if you take the legs and tray off the ikea chair fits in a dishwasher ;D
-
So noone has the material ones or seen them in action?? They appeal cos they can squish!! I'm quite happy with the booster we have otherwise....

We use one of the ikea ones also, have taken it everywhere, easy to pack, very light, easier to clean than material being plastic.

We use a Bumbo for our 2 yr old. I like the idea of the Ikea one, Anyone got a photo?

Here's a swedish one

That's cool. Had a Bumbo, can't find it now that my wife wants to use it finally. Did it come with the table, or can that be purchased separately? Mine didn't have a table.

I think the wife bought this one separately. We find the Bumbo real handy to feed our 2 yr old. Great for camping as it can be used on chairs, on tables, on a towel on the beach, on a picnic mat etc
-
Yeah go the Ikea... and easy to hose down...Had the same one for all four kids... after trying to clean the food out of the folds of an expensive one for a short while we got an Ikea...Brilliant
-
yep another vote for ikea! Indestructible, easy to clean, comes apart, take it anywhere.
-
x 2 for Ikea (never taken ours camping but is very compact)
OR
~$30 Kmart stroller + bucket bucket bib ( tommy tippee ) . Stroller then serves 2 purposes when in towns - dont need to carry the lump + highchair. If it looks grotty then chuck it when you get home.
-
Sorry, don't know about the cloth ones .... ???
we just used the bullbar for a quick lunch ;D

We have 2 of the Ikea high chairs for our twins legs come out and they stack together.
Been camping a couple of times with no issues.

We have been using one of THESE (http://philandteds.com/products/feed/metoo-portable-high-chair). It does need about 10cm of table top to clamp onto, but works very well and folds completely flat for storage.
-
we had friends who bought one of those cloth ones... and tossed it out after first use as it was terrible. the sling type that fits onto the table is the best type ive seen...

We've got pretty much everything a kid could have, two of most things, including this one, thoguh we've lent it to some friends. It works well, but is harder to wipe clean than plastic. Avocado; lovely to eat, a b1tch to clean.
-
we have a Karibu, which is like the bumbo but cheaper and comes with the table where you have to buy the bumbo table separate, plus this table is easier to clip on then a bumbo table, only thing is not very compact, we found the stroller easier last time, and i had to hand wash it when we got home anyway as bubba did a leaky no.2 while we were packing up
-
Thanks for your replies everyone. I think we'll stick with what we have. I've been trying to come up with super portable options for virtually everything for our big trip, but looks like that one won't be worth it.

Thread dig!
Currently packing to head off for a long weekend and this damn high chair takes up so much room.
No ikea within 1000ks from us so after any other ideas plz.
Anyone using the camping high chair that folds into a bag from BCF?
-
A bumbo might work. Depends how old your little one is (and how chunky their legs are). Ours didn't really take to it but we have the IKEA one too and just ended up taking that. In sure you've looked but eBay might have some new ones for sale too

Can your kid sit by itself? We just use a picnic rug and sit our one year old on the floor. We've got one of these at home strapped to a normal dining chair, it might attach a camp chair or kids camp chair. Has an inflatable seat. Packs down to nothing

hade a longreply and phone lost it so here is the short version. Go to supercheap. They have camping highchairs. They fold up just like a camp chair in their own bag. Pink or blue.

We use these and strap them to a regular camping chair. Simple and easy to pack up and store.

Couple of leg holes in one of those spare tyre bin/bag thingys. >:D
Would work a treat ;D
-
We have taken to just using our old faithful from IKEA. The legs and table come off easily, it's hard plastic so easy to clean and wipe dry.
I looked at a folding thing made like a camping chair and it was stupid. Not rigid enough, too hard to clean and will stay wet if the child spills something
-
I haven't used one but they look the part.

Because I havent used them before and sturdiness looked like it could be an issue, here is a link to amazon reviews for the Ciao chairs

Those are what I was referring to as flimsy and unstable

We've been using one of these:

great chair, sturdy and stable. Great camping and even had a few runs on picnics etc.

Our Little No2 has one of these:

Thank you everybody that replied with their suggestions.
We will check out those folding camp chair style ones as they're compact, cheap and we have a supercheap and BCF in town.
-
We have used one of the portable folding booster seat with table (backrest folds down and has straps to secure to a chair), a Bumbo and a chair similar to the BCF/Supercheap type folding style. Of all of them, the first was the best (we live on the road and found the Bumbo too bulky, not able to be secured if on a chair and the tray pulls off too easily, the folding chair is a PITA to clean being material and the tray part is not solid enough....think learning to eat a bowl of yoghurt ;) ....and the cup holder was a fraction too small for her water bottles). If we had another bub, I'd look on eBay/Gumtree for a secondhand Fisher Price or similar one as they come up pretty often.
