The dining area in our house is relatively small; we have a dining room table and four chairs and there really isn't much room for anything else. So when we found out we were expecting we didn't really want to try to squeeze a high chair into the area as well. I registered for this space saver high chair and it worked great as a high chair. The information on the box said it could also be used as a booster seat, which is another reason I choose this item on my registry. Unfortunately, the booster seat function did not work for us at all because the arm rests on the chair were too high to fit under the table top, so we could not slide the chair close to the table. Sturdiness We found this to be very sturdy and durable through two kids, despite them being rough on it as they got older. Durability See comment under Sturdy! Design I'm giving this an 8 because of it did not live up to it's claims of versatility as far as booster seat goes. It was wonderful as a high chair. Safety Love the five point harness for younger kids! Ease of Cleaning The tray is easily removed with one hand and it is dishwasher safe. The seat cover does wipe up nicely but it is also removable and can be put in the dishwasher, along with the straps. Giving this a 9 only because the seat cover is a pain to remove and put back on.

When we were expecting our daughter we were living in a small apartment without an actual dining room. Most meals my husband and I ate at the coffee table in the living room. I saw the Space Saver highchair early in my research and knew right away that it was the one for us. When we were still in the apartment we could attach it to a chair at the small eating counter in the kitchen or (more often than not) just place it on the floor next to the coffee table. Either way our girl was secure and comfortable and she was right at the right height for us to help her. Now that we are in the house her highchair stays on a kitchen chair where we usually eat, but when we want to have a meal in the dining room it is as easy as can be to unstrap it from one chair and move it to another. My only complaint about this highchair is that it has more nooks and crannies than I would like in terms of cleaning it, and my daughter is capable of getting food into each and every one of them. I have solved the issue by taking it to the sink for a spray down every day or so and removing the seat from the base and putting it through the dishwasher from time to time as well, neither things that can be done easily with a full size highchair.

I bought the Space Saver high chair & booster seat because my nephews had one & I liked the idea of not having a separate high chair to have to mess with. It has been wonderful! It can fit on any chair for your table; it has straps that snap under & behind the chair and you can tighten them to make it sturdy. It can also be used alone on the floor; this comes in handy when you don't have a lot of seating, or when travelling, etc. It is very portable & easy to travel with. The chair has different recline positions, so you can adjust it as your baby grows & gains more head support. There is a tray that can be removed. The arms CAN be removed. My husband just unscrewed them so that now my daughter (2 1/2) can be pushed up to the table. With the arms still attached, it will not fit at the table, which is annoying (but they do come off!) Also, the back of the chair comes off for when you want to use it as just a booster. It has a 5 point harness with the tall back & just a lap belt for older kids just using the booster.

I received this as a gift for my baby shower, and almost returned it because it was not the high chair I registered for, but I decided to keep it and try it... and I absolutely love it!!! I have used the same chair for two babies, and it's so nice not to have a big, bulky high chair taking up space in my home. It fits all of my chairs (as long as they have a back, of course) and saves so much space (hence the name, lol) It was so small and compact that I was able to put it on a top shelf in my child's closet when she outgrew it, until me second baby arrived and started using it. I was so happy to see that they offer additional color/pattern options for slipcovers, so I just bought a new one and changed the look completely. Perfect if you are having a different gender than your first, like I did. The only problem I have is that I really wish the tray had a removable liner so I could just take if off and throw it in the dishwasher, but the tray is small and easy to remove, so it's not too hard to wash. I also really like how it reclines back, so it's great for newborns, or for when baby drinks a bottle. I would definitely recommend!

This high chair grows with the child and is awesome if you're living in a small apartment. Tray is easily removable and easy to clean (you can easily throw it in the dishwasher) The only chane I would make is to make the fabric easier to remove, it gets dirty easily.

Ummmmmm.......our 2.75 year old still gets in this for three meals a day. Which is probably wrong on so many levels, but he loves it as much as us! We try to just pull the seat up to the table and use it as a booster and he says "no, I need my tray!" Pros: it is super easy to assemble. We basically pulled it out of the box and put it in the chair and tightened a few straps. It comes and very neutral colors. Ours is a light brown. Matched our red walls at the time, and now matches our tan walls that we've recently painted. Perfect for a couple that isn't going to find out the sex of their baby. Easy clean up Easy for the child to crawl in and out of by themselves. Safe. When my baby was about 6-12 months old, I needed to be able to do speech therapy and "school time" with my older son that has special needs. We could sit at the table and do his work while the baby was strapped in to the high chair with some toys and books in front of him. Con: this is more a sign of my lack of cleaning abilities, but as your child progresses to solid foods and feeding themselves, they drop stuff and food shimmies in the hole that the safety straps that go between the child's legs come out of. If you forget to wipe this out (its easy to do!!! You don't see it!!!) and you come along later, there is often a pile of grossness under there!

We got this chair after a recommendation from a family member. When looking at high chairs, some were pretty expensive and we wanted something in our budget. Also while we do have a decent size dining room, adding another piece of furniture into the mix (like a high chair) would have made things seem like a tight fit. We liked the idea of this high chair for the reason that it does save space, and that the baby would be included at meal time. With the high chair it seems as if they are on their own, not quite apart of mealtime. I felt like this chair would include the baby more at mealtime and it definitely does since the chair should match the height of the table you are attaching this to. There are a few downsides to this chair though. First if you have guests, you will be short a chair because the baby will be using one of your dining chairs. Second, babies are messy and in turn the chair they will be attached to will be quite dirty. You will need to make sure to keep up with wiping the chair down so that food doesn't get stuck to your nice dining room chairs. For the price and use though I really like this chair.

We lived in a small house so we did not want a huge high chair. This worked wonderfully when our daughter was small (3-6 months) as it reclined to a comfortable inclination and we could put toys or whatnot on the tray to keep her happy. The washable cover was great, although there are lots of nooks and crannies that could get food smashed inside. The chair easily attaches to a chair, but is sturdy enough to sit on the floor if needed (we did this at a family event when there were more people than seats and we were eating around a coffee table). As my daughter got older she didn't seem to like the chair as much. Even at the most upright position it is still slightly inclined and it is hard for her to sit up as straight as she would like. Also, the arms are completely fixed and permanent, so they can not be removed. Since the arms prohibit it from scooting under the table, you must use the tray. We ended up buying a booster seat in addition.

I absolutely love this high chair. It has all the features of a full sized high chair without all the bulk. I love the fact that this seat will recline. This is perfect when baby is just beginning to eat solids. I also love how cover is easily removed for cleaning and how the seat will convert into a booster chair when the child out grows the need for a high chair. Sturdiness This space saver seat is very sturdy to be a pint sized version of a regular high chair. Durability The seat is very durable. I have used my seat with 3 different babies and it still out performs any full size high chair. Design The design on this chair is very modern and will fit well in any kitchen. There are many different patterns to choose from. Safety The seat is strapped to a chair with two separate straps and there is a five point harness to keep baby safe. Another nice feature is there is a wedge that goes between baby's legs to keep them from sliding out of the seat. Ease of Cleaning This seat is very easy to clean. The cover will completely come off and the entire seat can be wiped down. Another bonus is the tray is dishwasher safe.

We got this high chair because we wanted something smaller that did not take a lot of room in our house--and that is also easy to store later. This is it! It easily fits on a normal chair and is at a good height. I like that you can adjust how high it is, depending on what kind of chair you set it on. I also like how you can recline the seat when they are a baby, and make it more upright as they grow. And, the removable cover is great for washing. If you are planning to use it as a booster seat, one thing is that the arm rests do not fold down, so it is hard to slide up to some tables. But, otherwise it is great. We also purchased an extra one to keep outside on our patio furniture--we just took the cloth cover off so it wasn't a big deal if it got rained on. It is nice to keep outside so that we don't have to bring the high chair out every time we want to eat outside!
