I found this chair at a garage sale for $5. It is one of the BEST investments we've made! It does angle a little bit so that younger kids can recline, but I always found that by the time my kids were eating solids I could use the tray to help keep them upright and they didn't need the recline feature.

The tray will fit up snugly against the child's body, minimizing the food that falls down onto the seat. My sister-in-law has a high end Italian high chair, which I really dislike after having used this "booster" seat for three years. The high chair takes up waaaay more room, is not transportable, and there is so much space between the child and the food tray that the food goes EVERYWHERE except in the mouth. My daughter can even has enough room to stick her feet up on the tray ~ a big no no!

We love the booster seat because it attaches easily to any adult chair, or it can be left on the ground and frees up the chair for an adult. It is extremely small and can go anywhere. Knowing what I know now, I would have spent even $50 for this!!
