This Chicco Pocket Snack Booster Seat is my favorite (and happens to be the one we own). We first purchased it because it straps to a normal seat and takes up significantly less space in our dining room than a free standing high chair. The Chicco Pocket folds up, the tray attaches and the buckles can be easily adjusted to create the perfect carrying strap.
The Chicco Pocket’s small tray makes it easy to clean and it can even be put in in the dishwasher. Perhaps one of my favorite features is that the tray and seat height can be adjusted to three different settings. The seat was made for children up to 50 pounds which means it could last to your child’s preschool years!

It is recommended that it only be used for children 9 months and up. It doesn’t have a tray but it is a perfect way to contain your little one during mealtime.
