I shopped around for a long time before deciding on this chair. I really liked the idea of having a clean seat for a baby wherever we went. Relying on restaurants to keep their highchairs clean and in safe working order is not a risk I'm comfortable taking for my children. I used to work in restaurants, ask me how I know.
The chair is much more sturdy than the Regalo Easy Diner and stores relatively flat in a convenient carry bag with a shoulder strap. It does take a little practice to get the setup process down quickly. Go through it a few times at home before stashing it in the car. Of course make sure any table you affix it to is sturdy and well-balanced and keep glassware and steak knives out of the little one's reach.
We've taken this chair eight hours away to a family reunion and it definitely took up a lot less room in the van than a full-sized high chair. We've hooked it to the end of picnic tables and washed it (in the washing machine!) several times and it still looks brand new. The only flaw is that it's not compatible with every design of table. It can't be used on an area of table where there are bracing supports in the way, only a clear area where only the surface area of the table extends.
